Boxing on whole afforded Ngannou the main stage (and took there cut) and just let it play out as the majority expected it would. Ngannou played along and have no doubt that if he had managed to last the 10 or even badly hurt Joshua but lose he would be lifted right back into another big match with Saudi throwing more millions at it. When are some fans going to recognize that is a massive downside too?! Hopefully the trend of gimmick fights near their shelf life. Time for the actual life long pros and adults to take back the house. Sadly though as long as the biggest names and “stars” keep settling on mediocre match ups or not fighting at all then the crossovers and circus tents are likely to remain attempting to capitalize on the void. But it ended just like it had to. Quickly, violently and with zero doubts!
