After the doldrums that are the sports world in July, the August 2017 sports trends show that sports are heading back towards excitement. Baseball is past the all star break, and teams are gearing up for the playoffs by acquiring impact players at the trade deadline. The NFL has begun its training camps, and plenty of one-off events are set to take place as well.
One of the most hyped sporting events of the year is set for August: the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight. Though McGregor is almost certain to lose in a boring bout, it hasn't stopped the world from taking notice and making both pugilist and fighter rich beyond the imaginings of any human. The August 2017 sports trends reflect that public interest, with boxing gear for consumers like the Hysko wearable sparring sensor making the list.
