Column: Tebow or the fight might not be great, but so what?

The odds keep dropping on Conor McGregor, though it’s more because UFC fans love him than his actual chances of winning a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

No, oddsmakers don’t think McGregor has any chance. But his fans keep lining up at the betting window with $20 bills to back their belief that someone who has never boxed before can beat the greatest defensive boxer of his time.

It’s nonsense, of course, but that doesn’t deter McGregor’s fans. There’s also a good chance they’ll be spending another $100 or so to watch the fight on TV, which, of course, is why the fight was made in the first place.
