It's probably pure coincidence that the Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson match on Thanksgiving weekend was announced the same week as the first anniversary of one of the biggest con jobs in pay-per-view history.
You might remember a year ago when Conor McGregor went from mixed martial arts into boxing to challenge Floyd Mayweather Jr., and the gullible fans of UFC couldn't wait to plunk down $100 to see all the action unfold on their TV screens at home.
Unfortunately there wasn't much action, much as predicted beforehand by those who saw through the smokescreen and recognized the whole thing as a farce.
