Of all the preposterous plotlines and implausible mismatches in sports-entertainment history, arguably the silliest of all time will happen tonight when two foul-mouthed midgets work a “boxing” match in Las Vegas.
Floyd Mayweather (the obnoxious little megalomaniac who “fought” The Big Show at WrestleMania 24) will square off against un-ironic-hipster douchebag Conor “Hornswoggle” McGregor in what pundits are calling “a farce even pro wrestling couldn’t concoct.”
“I thought I had seen everything when David Arquette became WCW Champion, but this takes the cake” writes veteran wrestling journalist Dan Mutzler. “What’s most amazing is that some people think it’s real!”
A leaked script for the match was posted online this morning, and reveals a number of twists and “swerves” that will keep fans entertained, if they suspend disbelief.
According to the script:
- McGregor will arrive in the ring via jetpack, only to be outdone by Mayweather, who will be shot out of a cannon from the roof of The Rio hotel
- A hair-versus-hair stipulation has been added to the match
- In the third round, when the referee isn’t looking, McGregor will clobber Mayweather with his trusty shillelagh
- Mayweather will pull brass knuckles out of his trunks in Round 4, but will be caught and nearly disqualified by special guest referee “Stone Cold” Steve Austin
- McGregor will win by count-out after Mayweather takes a nasty bump through the ringside commentary table
According to backstage rumors, McGregor will go on to become the General Manager of UFC, and Mayweather will co-star alongside Sylvester Stallone in the upcoming film Rocky 7: Electric Boogaloo.
