And you thought Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor was going to be the biggest brawl this week.

Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers and Austin Romine of the New York Yankees absolutely went at it during a Thursday afternoon game in the Motor City.

It happened during the bottom of the sixth inning of the game, when the Yankees threw a pitch behind the Detroit slugger. And then Cabrera shoved Romine, and took two heavy swings with right hooks at the Yankee catcher.

The benches promptly cleared in what was a truly wild brawl.

Beat that, Floyd and Conor.
