It is great to see the sporting event become such a gigantic crowd-puller, getting even the Icelandic Strongman excited. Hafthor is not new to the boxing arena. In the battle of the Giants, Hafthor won against Strongman Eddie Hall. However, the delayed match failed to generate much interest among fans.

The boxing stint of the Mountain failed to attract the crowd

Earlier, in a podcast, Nick Trigili, Sameer Bannout, and John Hansen discussed the match held in 2022. The IFBB pro, Trigili, opined that the match failed to garner attention because of the delays caused by injuries. He added, “No one bought tickets, no one bought the pay-per-view, no one cared.”

 Moreover, they speculated on the reason for Thor joining the match. “I think he was chasing money though, the reason he went to boxing. I think he was guaranteed a huge payday with the Eddie Hall fight, and that ended up being a big disaster.” To sum up, let the bygone be bygones. It is time to celebrate the greatness of Terence Crawford. The Saturday boxing match has cemented its place as one of a kind in the history of sports. Did you enjoy the pound-for-pound fight?
