He's using/playing McGregor like a fool here.

Everything about this is Boxing not UFC... Floyd is completely running the show from the undercard that is only featuring boxers to the fact that it's at Floyds chosen weight and under the Queensbury rules with huge gloves if your CM.

The pair of them are hoodwinking everyone big time.

Circus - Yes

Entertainment factor - Massive.

This is an Event to make money not a competitive Boxing match.
McGregor is no fool. Another loss or two in UFC, and it could happen in consecutive fights, and he's just another fighter earning rubbish UFC money. This fight sets him up for life. Everybody says when he loses ah he was fighting the greatest boxer of his generation and one of the best all time and that's that, he goes back to UFC with his star power probably increased if anything but definitely financially alright.
