Walsh probably outweighs him by 30 kg to be fair.

You look at Wanderlai's face and you can believe that he has had 50 fights.

They’ll be getting paid a decent amount, Japanese love this sort of shit, and by most accounts the athletes enjoy it as well.

I suppose. Cringy all the same. Top athletes selling their souls in this way.
I think it’s pretty entertaining tbh. They have all sorts of shows like this on tv, some are funny AF. The sumo lads are a crack up. They pull some top athletes, Bolt, Messi, Ronaldo, Woods, etc. That ninja warrior thing is an off shoot of the Japanese version Sasuke. Pretty much the same sort of thing.

They wouldn’t do it if they didn’t have the viewers, and as you say, the athletes would be mad to turn down that sort of coin for doing pretty much FA.
