The fight is cancelled: Mark Zuckerberg was urgently hospitalized after sparring (3 photos)
More recently, Elon Musk said that the fight with Mark Zuckerberg fell through due to the fact that the head of the Meta company could not refuse advertising in the Colosseum.
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were going to meet in the ring to decide who was right. It's all the new app's fault. On July 6, the Threads application was released, which is very similar to Twitter. Elon Musk really didn’t like this and the guys decided to cut themselves to death in the ring. The fight could have taken place at the Coliseum, but Zuckerberg refused. According to Musk, they were unable to reach an agreement due to advertising.
I decided: we cannot refuse such an offer. Then I thought that if the fight takes place at the Coliseum, then even though I love the UFC and all that, we won't put a ton of advertising on the Coliseum because it's a great historical place. We don't want it to be like NASCAR, do we? And then Zuck refused.
On November 4, Zuckerberg announced that he had undergone surgery, Insider reports.
Zuckerberg said he had surgery to replace a ligament he tore in sparring.
I tore my ACL while sparring and just came out of surgery to replace it.
According to him, he was preparing for an MMA fight in early 2024, but now it will have to be postponed.
