August 18, 20179 yr When I think of the upcoming boxing match, I can't stop being reminder of Bobby Riggs taking on Billie Jean King. Many of you probably don't remember that - google it if you don't. Suffice it to say, if I am not mistaken, that tennis match still holds the record for the highest attendance at a tennis match in the US. This boxing match feels like a gimmick as much as that tennis match. I can't get myself to take it seriously. It just feels like a con to line the pockets of all those involved. So for the people really interested, are you expecting a good fight? Or are you interested in this similar to those who wanted to see the bearded lady at the carnival?
August 18, 20179 yr My brother and I are thinking about getting the fight. I think it is a combo of "watch the circus" and "Can McGregor land one good one?" Side Note: "Battle of the Sexes" is in theatres on Sept. 22 with Emma Stone playing Billie Jean King and Steve Carell playing Bobby Riggs
August 18, 20179 yr Author That is what I am thinking afi100. I think 95% of the people want to see the bearded lady and/or the "Buster Douglas" upset. I think less than 5% of the people think this is going to be a competitive boxing match worth watching.
