Elon Musk recently expressed his willingness to engage in a mixed martial arts cage fight with tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, sparking speculation about a potential showdown, Your Content has learned.
During a conversation with Ashlee Vance on Twitter, Musk revealed that he would commence training if the fight were to materialize.
The Twitter owner’s initial tweet, seemingly lighthearted, gained momentum when Zuckerberg responded with a request for the fight’s location.
As the discussion progressed, various MMA stars offered to train Musk for the bout, and UFC chief Dana White confirmed that both Musk and Zuckerberg were serious about their intentions to participate.
White believes that the fight could surpass the revenue generated by the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing match in 2017, which reached an impressive $600 million.
He predicts that a clash between the two billionaire tech moguls could generate over $1 billion and become the most significant fight in history.
Although Zuckerberg possesses training in mixed martial arts and recently completed his first jiu-jitsu tournament, it remains uncertain whether the proposed cage match will indeed come to fruition.
Musk has a reputation for making bold statements on social media, sometimes without following through.
Nevertheless, the banter between the two billionaires has captivated public attention, with countless memes and “choose your fighter” posts circulating online.
While the outcome of this potential match remains uncertain, the excitement surrounding it has already led to projected odds and bids being placed for the hypothetical winner.
DraftKings, for instance, has estimated odds of 140+ for Musk and -160 for Zuckerberg as of Thursday.
Neither Musk nor Zuckerberg has provided further comments on the matter, leaving fans and observers eagerly awaiting any developments in this unusual saga, according to DailyMail.
