That actually made me laugh out loud.

I'll go with "current" because I think it reflects society quite well. Where Kardashians are famous and watching others play video games is entertainment.

Ron, I think you're forgetting your boxing history The sport has always been the original Entertainment Business, long before MMA or wrestling.

Everybody knows about the Ali 'fight' against the Japanese wrestler, which was under mixed rules so it was even more farcical than this fight.

What about Floyd Patterson defending the undisputed heavyweight title against a guy having his first pro fight? George Foreman fighting five guys one after another, Joe Louis and the 'Bum of the Month' club, the fearsome Jack Johnson defending against the current middleweight champ, Roberto Duran fighting a bear, Jack Dempsey defending against a guy he knew was terminally ill ..... hell, even Rocky Balboa fought Thunderlips!

I'd use the word 'normal', 'historic', 'typical' or 'traditional'

As PT Barnum said well over a hundred years ago (while promoting a Jack Dempsey fight), "there's a sucker born every minute'

You would not believe the amount of grief I have got for suggesting the same thing in the Malinaggi and FMJ/McGregor main threads.

I remember my history well. And never before has over a half a billion dollars been made on an exhibition. I don't begrudge the fighters a bit. With this money they had to do it. I just find the reason people care about this fight humorous.

I agree with Ron. If they were making a million or 2 million, I probably wouldn't give a fuck.( Jesus , talking about a million or 2 like it's peanuts, that's how crazy this shit is.)
I would also add that to quote the above examples in order to justify this carnival is wrong. Those examples are wrong and they don't make this circus more right.
When WW2 started, they didn't say, "well we had WW1, so why not!" Sorry to add a facetious example about 2 very sad times in history, but I'm just trying to make the point.
Ps. @X your final sentence quoting P T Barnum is 100% directed at somebody I've been having a Mild discussion with on the other thread!
Don't you agree @Beanz?

Nice little soundbite. Pretty meaningless and lacking explanation though.
