One fan was not so optimistic about the bout. However, he chose to look at the brighter side of it as the money goes to charity.

I’m all for it, because ultimately, the proceeds will help out people, but both of them should match whatever money they generate. This is a d*ck measuring contest at the end of the day- but if it can benefit society, so be it.”
