McGregor vs Mayweather

So the much rumored and much anticipated match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr is going ahead (at least for the moment).  A boxing match between a boxer and a non-boxer.  Why somebody would want to pay $100 to watch a pay per view bout that will probably last less than 1 round is beyond me.  Why somebody would want to pay thousands of dollars to watch the bout in person is ludicrous.  Yet the 100 million dollar purses that each fighter is getting for the match suggests that they are banking on a lot of people watching. Of course, money has absolutely nothing to do with this mismatch even being agreed upon in the first place.  What a farce.
