Was the McGregor Mayweather the event of the decade?

You can argue it was biggest spectacle with 2 different sports going after each other. The hype, build up and speculation was insane. The event itself was not a circus, it actually was a serious sporting event.

You’ll get hate from purists but please find an event that had the build up and interest of that.

The buildup was probably the biggest of the decade. So many people I know that don’t even pay attention to any combat sports we’re buying that fight or going to parties playing it.

It wasn’t even the biggest mayweather fight of the decade

Idk but I had amazing sex that night. I will always associate the fight with that night.

The hype was real but I was so relieved to be able to stream that fight.

Nope. Fight lost steam because it happened like 8 years too late.
You also didn’t have women at work asking each other if they were going to be going to a party for the May/pac fight. Most don’t even know who Pac is.
Conor/Floyd was the bigger cultural event. Y far.

I didnt watch it or read anything about it afterward.

Mayweather/Manny was a bigger fight even without the MMA community or the social media Stacys/Jennifers asking where the party was going to be at

Also the buildup and interest is unmatched. People were talking about Floyd vs Manny for damn near a decade.

9-6 was the game of the century, frick decade

Mayweather-Pac had more Pay-per-view buys than Mayweather-McGregor.
And the most watched TV broadcast of the entire decade regardless of sports was the 2015 Super Bowl.

One thing that really helped was the fight was actually entertaining for awhile and lived up to the hype. Unlike Floyd/Pac 5-10 years too late
