Day 160

Fresh Start_160: McGregor Mayweather
This fight needs to happen. Floyd “Money” Mayweather needs to except the challenge from Connor McGregor and get this fight off the ground. The fight would be a boxing match, and this fight will be the best thing to happen to the sport of boxing in a long time. These are the best two fighters on the planet, and they need to declare who is truly the best. Not to mention that Mayweather is currently undefeated at 49-0 tied with Rocky Marciano. This would be the fight that Mayweather could stand alone as the greatest holding the undefeated title and retire after beating McGregor.

For Connor McGregor, this is a situation where he could become an American fighting icon. What McGregor would do is be the “best” in 2 fighting leagues. There is no question that McGregor is the best UFC fighter on the planet, being the lightweight and featherweight champion. The fight against Mayweather would give McGregor some credit as a legitimate boxer.

This fight would generate the most money in the history of the fighting. From the attendance and paper view money, the numbers would be ridiculous. The split between both of the fighters would have to be settled and personally I think there should be a $5 Million difference between the fighters. Their respective resumes are extremely impressive and it could be possible, they should get the same amount. The only reason that wouldn’t happen is because of Mayweather and his history of cashing checks. Mayweather has made an exponential amount in his career, and significantly more than McGregor. That will be the biggest factor in this fight, just because of the stacks of this fight. This fight will be the biggest sporting event as far as numbers, maybe in history. The fight will draw and Vegas needs to make this fight happen. I will not rest until this happens.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
