How can people be excited by Mayweather vs McGregor?

I mean FFS, really? Imagine Roger Federer retires from tennis. He is a bit old but wants one last pay day. He gets approached by someone offering a shit ton of money for him to have a one-off tennis match against a badminton player. No but he is a really, [i]really [/i]good badminton player. He played a little bit of tennis when he was young too and he is great at all the pre-match banter. Convince me I am wrong people.

I may be weird, but I don't see the point of boxing or UFC. If there were any role models, in recent decades, in both "sports", I don't know any.

It's big business, and some people pay $$$s to attend live, and show up with young ones on their arms, but the real money is in betting, where the average person can lose his family's dinner betting on these games.
