Analyst Ross Tucker isn't a big fan. On the Ross Tucker Football Podcast , Tucker described the upcoming fight between the two running backs as "sad".
"This is evidently how you make the most money on YouTube now. I don't know man. I mean, good for them, I guess. So. I got two different thoughts. Brian. My one thought my first thought was that, I'll be honest, that it was sad."
Tucker added that while he would personally never agree to such a match, he respected the decisions made by Bell and Peterson.
"The flip side is they're grown men. It's their decision. I'm sure they're getting paid a pretty penny to do it. It's obviously worth it to them to do it. So more power to them good for them I guess but you wouldn't catch me in that ring. There's no amount of money with the helmets I have that I would go in a ring."
Adrian Peterson and Le'Veon Bell had stellar careers as running backs
Both Peterson and Bell had impressive NFL careers.
Peterson had 14,918 rushing yards and 120 rushing touchdowns and he also won MVP in 2012. As well as being a seven-time Pro Bowler, he was selected to seven All-Pro teams. He is widely considered one of the greatest running backs of all time and is expected to be inducted into the Hall of Fame one day.
Bell had 6,554 career rushing yards and 51 total touchdowns, making three Pro-Bowls and four All-Pro teams. Bell is also a future Hall of Famer.
Both running backs unfortunately were never able to win a Super Bowl. It'll be interesting to see who wins the matchup between these two great running backs in the ring.
