The 2015 boxing matchup between the two most popular fighters of their generation, Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao, was a mega-event — and a mega-dud inside the ring.
Mayweather outpointed Pacquiao in a dull unanimous decision which left many casual observers vowing never to plunk down $100 for a Mayweather pay-per-view ever again.
New York boxing promoter Lou DiBella, however, believes that if fans decide to give Mayweather’s match with UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor on Saturday night a chance, they just might be in for a surprise.
DiBella believes McGregor is going to enter the ring at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena looking to make a statement, and as such, is likely to force more action than Pacquiao was ever able to muster during their dull affair.
