It's just great Marketing to cash in BIG TIME for both of them.
Floyd is undefeated and like it or not one of the greater boxers that were around. No not as a human and not big impact as all time greats like Ali, Frazier, Tyson, Sugar ray... But he is a great tactician and defender even though I'm not a fan of him.
Connor is a great allround fighter, but he knew that this would be a homerun if he just got the fight no matter win/lose.
Floys is a great businessman we'll all agree on that and he wont leave any chance to be defeated by Connor, I'm pretty sure it's in agreed in a contract in some way. Pure from professional boxing view connor wouldn't have a chance, you have a guy that has decades of his life to boxing hours and hours muscle memory pure boxing. You just can't match that no matter how hard you hit. Connor has counless hours of multiple styles and not specialized in 1 specific style. I just don't see it happening it's just NOT a FAIR FIGHT and it could never be in any way.
Both great fighters in their own sports! But even greater businessmen
