For many people, the final result is a forgone conclusion, but nevertheless it’s the kind of thing that gets people talking about boxing, which is good for the sport after all. In the next few months, some brand new combat sports fans will be queuing up for to get hold of their own boxing gloves, MMA shorts and MMA shin pads. Training sessions will be fully booked and a whole new generation getting involved in MMA. If you’re an combat sports instructor, now could be the time to start planning and promoting this autumn’s beginner’s courses.
The Mayweather vs McGregor event itself is likely to be beyond the price-tag of most fans though, so if you were thinking of turning up to watch in person, you’d probably better have a mortgage application handy. And while we’re talking finances, if you fancy a bet, the odds are obviously stacked in favour of the unbeaten Mayweather. McGregor is good, that's not in question. In just a few years he’s raced through the accolades and achievements that it took Mayweather many more years. McGregor is charismatic, intelligent, and knows how to play the social media and celebrity game as well as fight. But that's not what wins boxing matches. For the courtesy of going through with the event, he will be receiving more cash than any other MMA fighter before him though. He’ll probably lose out, but the rewards will still be megabucks!
So, that’s there in the MMA calendar to look forward to. In the meantime, if all this talk of the big fight has you thinking about getting back in shape or investing in some new MMA gear, we can help you out with MMA gloves, shorts, pads, boxing gloves - anything you need.
