Today on Granato and Raheel with Del, the guys talked about their excitement level for the upcoming fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor. Raheel feels like the real draw to this fight is that it’s an “entertainment event for the bro crowd.” He doesn’t necessarily think this will be much of a boxing clinic, but the buildup and hype surrounding this spectacle will be legendary.

The odds right now have Mayweather at 1 to 9, so you have to bet $900 to win $100. McGregor on the other hand, his odds are at 6 to 1 which would win you $600 if you bet $100. The betting line leads us to believe that McGregor doesn’t have much of a shot, but we know the hype of the fight greatly outweighs any type of substance.

Finally, Raheel believes this will be the most pirated melee in the history of sports. You don’t have to know anything about boxing or MMA to get caught up in the moment and enjoy the show. In fact, the smart move for Mayweather and McGregor is to keep the fight close, because a rematch would end up being another enormous payday.
