Perhaps you’ve heard about it.
There’s this boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and this mixed martial arts star, Conor McGregor, and they don’t seem to like each other all that much.
They spent several days telling each other that earlier this summer, touching down in four cities and covering thousands of miles while engaging in the most vulgar, provocative and microphone-friendly display this side of a presidential press conference.
They’ve since retreated to neutral corners, emerging occasionally via social media and open workouts to let the other guys know just what sort of trouble he’s in come Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
It’s the sort of once-in-a-generation tide that’s raised all web-based and traditional media boats, thanks to myriad storylines that include training-camp intrigue, mind-numbing financials and old-fashioned boxing odds and glove controversies.
Take a look at the list and revel in the real news.
