Writers Chris Selley and Adam Radwanski were lamenting the way Ultimate Fighting Championship events take over the bar and restaurant television even in the middle of major league hockey and baseball games. Selley tweeted: “Every time I’m out in public when something UFC-related is happening I feel like I’ve been transported to a horrible alternate universe.” Radwanski concurred on the Mayweather-McGregor low-level frenzy saying: “I really underestimated how much this questionable fight between two horrible people would be the talk of the town.” Selley: “My favourite: out with friends at bar, watching Leafs, been there since puckdrop, 90 mins. All TVs switch to UFC. Informed we owed $20.” This was at St. Louis Bar and Grill at 2050 Yonge near Davisville “which is about the Leafiest bar in Leafville” he adds The manager explained that a sign on the door had been posted that this would happen at 9 p.m.
