Two washed up, over-the-hill people who just don’t know when it’s time to hang it up and walk away before getting beat again. At least they both found work. (This is real btw).

Commentary is being presented by a has-been on a match between two other has-beens - on a day where a normal former president would attend and probably speak at a memorial ceremony. Not TFG, though. He always has some new depth to which to sink.

I mean, even Donnie can't be that tone-deaf, can he?

Is there a reliable news source that's reporting this? My quick google came up with sites like the Daily Mail, and a number that seem to have copied from them

12. Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort: Storylines to watch in boxing's latest bizarre event
Tue Sep 7, 2021, 09:17 PM
Sep 2021

From CBS Sports:

Let's face it, we are in a crossover/celebrity boxing era ripe with curious and bizarre matchmaking. Saturday's Triller Fight Club pay-per-view from Hollywood, Fla., is about as weird as it gets.

No, there won't be any YouTube stars in the main event this time, but the card, headlined by faded MMA star Vitor Belfort and former four-time heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield, from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel offers a veritable buffet of questions, concerns and misgivings along with the promise of violence.

As the card draws this weekend, let's take a look at the biggest storylines.

1. Oscar De La Hoya was the true draw of this card: This is no disrespect to the legendary combat careers turned in by both Holyfield, a late replacement for De La Hoya after he was hospitalized last week for COVID 19, or Belfort but the 47-year-old "Golden Boy" was such a huge draw in his prime that the intrigue of seeing him lace up the gloves after retiring on his own terms some 13 years ago was the real hook. De La Hoya's personal life has been a constant rollercoaster of turmoil since his career finale when he quit on his stool against Manny Pacquiao in 2008 and he was hoping to use boxing as a way to curb his personal demons of addiction.

TFG adds his own brand of strangeness to the mix...

Don't forget the all-important dollars. Is he that hard up that he has to resort to this level of huckstering? When are we going to see him hawking Ronco-ripoffs on late night cable?

to put on his resume other than "loudmouth, coke snorting cuck".

He has political aspirations too, you know, so padding his "bona fides" for the MAGAts is a necessity.

That is where he is most comfortable. (He probably got a good cut of the take, perhaps 33-50%?)

I'm cringing at the thought that this will be all over the internet the next day. Chump doesn't give a shit about honoring those we lost on September 11th. Of course not. All he cares about is where his next million is coming from. Where are the people who will clap and cheer for him.

He's completely bereft of a soul, a heart, a sense of dignity.

“Well, it was an amazing phone call,” Mr Trump told WWOR. “I mean, 40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan. And it was actually – before the World Trade Center – was the tallest. And then when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest, and now it’s the tallest.”

Perhaps like Nascar, the Republicans own most of the fans, so they go all in, fuck the lib fans.

Banking on, literally, gaining more ticket sales from red hats, than they lose from the decent sane fans.
