Dan was convinced the announcement of a Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao rematch was a joke, but it is all too real. He wonders how on earth the most anticipated fight in boxing is between two long retired champions who are both nearly 50-years-old, and exactly what that means for the sport.
Dan Patrick: “You could get some of these guys to come out of retirement and be like, you know, ‘Hey, Tommy Hearns, uh, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, come on. Uh, Roy Jones, come on. Who wants to fight?’ ‘Yeah. I'll do it.’ Mike Tyson. He'll fight again. Let Tyson fight the winner of this...I don't know why you watch this unless the undercard is really good. Maybe the novelty of being in that building, having a boxing match in the Sphere, but it's real. Does Conor McGregor get the winner of this fight? I mean, now if Conor McGregor got to do MMA against Floyd, now that would be fun. That would have been interesting. And then do one of the brothers, what are their names? Uh, the Paul brothers. Do they get to fight something? I mean, is this where boxing is?”
