It is quite clear that not many are fans of the upcoming Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor superfight. Six-division world champion and Golden Boy Promotions chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya, for one, is questioning how the fight ended up being sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Fellow promoter Lou DiBella, meanwhile, holds a contrarian view. In an interview with MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani ahead of Bellator 180, DiBella ripped on critics who have lambasted the making of the fight.
“I’m sick of watching the whining, ‘it’s bad for boxing,’” DiBella said.
