They want a show, so they picked loud mouthed showmen that people love to hate. They don't care who wins - they only care who watches. As such, this "fight" cannot be predicted on either man's skills, fitness, heart, determination, or any of the usual indicators. They are just puppets, with the promoters pulling their strings.

Nailed it again. This is why I brought up the August pool match. It's results have a much better chance of being legit than this circus freak show. "Step right up, folks...see the two headed monkey, the sultan's haram, and the jungle boy!"
