The penultimate press conference that will continue to up the ante in terms of unabashed trash talking, Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather will look to increase interest for their controversial bout in August when they meet face-to-face in Brooklyn. While the notion of a MMA fighter taking on a professional boxer is unprecedented in and of itself, at this point there can’t be too much hype for a main event that is extremely polarizing.
Of course, ever since this showdown was announced, critics have expressed their concern on how this matchup will demean the integrity of professional boxing while increasing the excitement for mixed martial arts events. Certainly, regardless of the outcome, fighting as a sport will never quite be the same. Whether this will usher in a much-needed evolution of the sport in general or create a convoluted mess remains to be seen.
At the end of the day, even the most ardent boxing traditionalist will have a difficult time looking away from the ridiculous spectacle that is tonights press conference and, possibly, the inevitable showdown that will either be epicly engaging or dramatically disappointing.
