While I’m not a huge boxing fan, I hope like hell a rematch happens, and I think there are a lot of people out there who feel the exact same way.
The first bout was electrifying, and the Irish–born star did much better than people originally anticipated. Yes, he lost and got dominated in the later rounds, but he put on a show.
At the end of the day, that’s what the fans want to see. We want a show, and Mayweather and McGregor gave us an awesome one back in 2017.
If we can run it back, there’s no point not to.
