Ladeees and gentlemen:
In corner #1: Gigantic, muscular guys pounding each other senseless (or at least, pretending to) while selling shirts, pants, burgers and fries.
In corner #2: More burgers and fries, this time served by people in togas.
In corner #3: Stand-up comedians barraging tourists with jokes about dating, cabdrivers, burgers and fries.
In corner #4: The financially beleaguered Canadian company, Livent.
And the winner is... Livent!
