You have to be very clumsy to match the official classic of the season that Real Madrid and Barcelona will play on October 26 at the Santiago Bernabéu with the UFC match that will take place on the same day and almost at the same time against Ilia Topuria in view of Max Holloway. And we say that you have to be very clumsy because no one with half a brain thinks of throwing stones on their own roof, unless Javier TebasLeague president, thinks that the important thing is to take it gross (3.6 million euros, that’s his salary) and not so much to defend the interests of the clubs that pay him. The football match is scheduled for 9 p.m. and the advantage is perhaps at stake, while the Topurie Battleto the detriment of the evening’s flow, could be played from 9:30 p.m. on the same day, so that two world-class sporting spectacles will coincide thanks to Tebas’ superb display of clumsiness.
If the League already knew the approximate time at which the Topuria duel could begin It is absurd to counterprogram with the classic par excellence of Spanish football. Among Spanish youth, the figure of the wrestler arouses passion, which is why Tebas condemns the League to share the calendar with a sporting event that attracts millions of fans around the world and that, in Spain, has become a sociological phenomenon.
Beyond that, Thebes shows contempt absolute for sports fans, who will be forced to choose between two major events. That the president of the League had the brilliant idea of opposing the classic of Spanish football to the expected fight of Topuria is total nonsense. Furthermore, as a commercial strategy, it makes no sense.
