Umlo wamanqindi uFloyd Mayweather Jr. (L) kunye neqela le-UFC elikhaphukhaphu uConor McGregor bajongana.Ngaphandle kweMiller / Getty Izithombe Hayi, umlo wangoMgqibelo phakathi kukaFloyd Mayweather noConor McGregor awuzukuwusindisa umlo wamanqindi okanye utshabalalise ubuGcisa beMartial, kodwa uza kwenza isixa semali esiqhekezayo somsitho womlo ohlawulelwa ukujonga. Umhla wokugqibela unika ingxelo yokuba umda uqikelelwa ukuba uza kuvelisa i-700 yezigidi zeedola kwihlabathi liphela ngokusekwe kwi-99.95 yeedola.
Ukubeka elo nani leenkwenkwezi ngokwembono, umlo ka-2015 phakathi kukaMayweather noManny Pacquiao uvelise isixa esimangalisayo se-4.6 yezigidi zase-US zithenga i-460 yezigidi zeedola zasekhaya kunye ne-600 yezigidi zeedola zizonke, ngomhla wokugqibela. Beka enye indlela: Ukuba umlo ufikelela kwi-700 yezigidi zeedola, iya kuba yifilimu yesithoba eyeyona iphambili ngo-2017 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ngokuka Ibhokisi yeOfisi Mojo . Abanye abangaphakathi kwishishini elinolunya bade bahlebeze malunga nomyinge we-1 yezigidigidi.
Ngaphandle kwento yokuba uMcGregor, oneminyaka engama-29, akazange akhe akhuphisane nakumdlalo wamanqindi oqeqeshiweyo, ukhuphiswano lwakhe noMayweather, 40, luthathwa njengoyena mntu ubalaseleyo kule minyaka. Siyaqikelela ukuba yiloo nto kanye eyenzekayo xa iqela eliphambili le-UFC lithatha indawo ye-11 yexesha lomdlalo wamanqindi. UMayweather unamava kunye nobuchule bezobuchwephesha, nangona eza iminyaka emibini yokuyekiswa emsebenzini. UMcGregor uneminyaka yobudala kunye nobukhulu kwicala lakhe.
Ke ingakanani imali alwayo nayo wonke umntu olwa nalo mboniso? Amanani ngqo awaziwa njengoko exhomekeke ekuthengeni i-PPV, ukuthengisa amatikiti kunye neenkxaso. Kodwa uMayweather kulindeleke ukuba axhase i-100 yezigidi zeedola azifumene kwi-Pacquiao bout ngelixa uMcGregor kufuneka epokothise i-50 yezigidi ukuya kwi-70 yezigidi zeedola. Uqikelelo lwentengiso yendawo yetikiti yomlo kulindeleke ukuba inyuse i-90 yezigidi zeedola, ngokulula i-72 yezigidi zeedola ezenziwe nguMayweather-Pacquiao. Itikiti elikhulu lokuthengisa umlo kaMcGregor UFC owenziweyo wawungaphantsi kwe- $ 18 yezigidi xa woyisa uEddie Alvarez ukuba abe yintshatsheli ye-UFC 205.
Ngelixa umlo wamanqindi ubusokola kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo-kunye, i-MMA kwaye ngakumbi i-UFC ibonwabele ukunyuka kwemeteor. Kunyaka ophelileyo, i-WME-IMG ithenge i-UFC $ 1 yezigidigidi Ngelixa umlo kaMayweather wamva nje wokulwa noAndre Berto uthengise nje ama-550,000 e-PPV ethengwayo eqikelelwa kwizigidi ezingama-38 zeedola. Ithemba kukuba le fiasco yamanqindi inceda yomibini imidlalo.
