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

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

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

When one guy is -2500 to win, it doesn’t qualify.

An amateur making his professional debut took one of the all-time greats to 10 rounds? Plausible if Mayweather were 60 years old maybe.

It was an event, but of the entertainment variety and not competitive sport. It was arguably a total disgrace to the latter.
