Mayweather's announcement to retire made me ponder if the fight was a huge work. Even if it was, the fact is that it made huge money, proving it was well booked and promoted.
Naturally, the wrestling fan in me had several questions come to mind:
- Is the psychology of booking and promoting a wrestling card different?
- Does wrestling lack "larger than life" characters?
- What has caused the lack of popular interest in wrestling?
- What can wrestling learn from events like this one?
Would love to discuss your thoughts on this aspect of the fight, and it's similarities and differences from any wrestling promotion that you watch.
