The call for change comes as some states have loosened restrictions on such visits. But others have remained set in their efforts to minimize the risk of further infections a year and a half into the coronavirus pandemic.

While scoffed at by many, Mayweather commented the fight was possible. McGregor put up a poster on Sunday fueling more speculation. You have a better chance of winning last week’s $429 million Powerball than seeing Mayweather vs. McGregor. First, the UFC won’t release “Notorious” from his contract nor allow him to compete in another sport.

Fans control essentially every aspect of the team, from drafting the players to calling the plays on the field. Doing this allows the league to cut costs in certain areas. For example, there is a single head coach for all four teams in the league, and only one position coach for each group of players. The league also uses shared facilities, as well as trainers and medical staff. The league is also filming its games in a television studio, rather than a fully packed stadium, which would have plenty of maintence costs....
