Mcgregor vs diaz. biggest rematch in history?

It'll need to get 1.2 mill to beat Weidman vs Silva II

Definitely nowhere near greatest. It's a fringe top 5 LW vs a non top 10 LW.
 
in terms of money? yes.
in terms of meaning anything? no.
pointless rematch? yes.
are either guy going anywhere in WW division? no.
is it for a belt? no.
 
I like Mcgregor, appreciated his willingness to go up and test the waters at a higher weight class,
was disappointed when the match with RDA fell through,
was happy we got to see a fight when Diaz stepped up at 170 because of short notice,
felt it was a good fight and that Mcgregor had nothing to be ashamed of,
was frustrated when the rematch was announced - due to the wait period that was imposed on a dynamic featherweight division,
was completely fucking bewildered when it was announced at 170 again.
 
BJ vs GSP II. The hype before the fight was insane. Also the only multi divisional champion vs champion fight to date.
 
GSP vs BJ 2 was huge as far as rematches go.
 
It's one over-sold leprechaun's attempt at fixing hype he lost to a 10-day replacement.

So unless you aspire to have McGregors asshole around your tongue, it shouldn't be top 10.
