It’s time to quit the complaining and enjoy the spectacle of Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor. At its core, this Saturday night’s main event will be a fist-fight between prize fighters at the top of their games. Two men squaring off with nothing but eight-ounce gloves over their hands. There is a nobleness and beauty to this Marquess of Queensberry affair that will take place in a Las Vegas arena where one combatant will come armed with a ton of heart and the other will use his head to keep his opponent at bay for the first few rounds.

To be candid, I have never watched a single McGregor fight in full. I have zero interest in mixed martial arts and wish my home state of New York would have remained the sole state to keep it out of our borders. I will always view MMA as base and un-entertaining compared to the sweet science.
