Sounds like a big joke… taking shape. Following online exchanges over the idea of a fight, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg seem intent on a real fight.
In any case, this is the opinion of Dana White, the highly influential boss of the UFC, the main MMA franchise. “I spoke to Mark and Elon last night, they are both absolutely serious about this,” he told TMZ.
Inevitably, the idea fascinates Dana White who would see in it “the most watched fight of all time” and the man already imagines the box office: 100 dollars to see the confrontation on American television in the Las Vegas Octagon (against 80 dollars usually).
The key is hundreds of millions of dollars that you offer to donate to charity. And of course incredible exposure for his sport that has been making its way in France for a few years now.
It remains to be seen if Elon Musk, used to unlikely road trips, is truly ready to put on the gloves. His opponent, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu fan, is obviously looking forward to that.
