Donald Trump may not like what he sees when he scans the crowd at Monday night’s debate with Hillary Clinton.
Billionaire Mark Cuban has scored a front-row seat for the high-stakes showdown at Long Island’s Hofstra University — and is vowing to keep a close eye on what he believes will be the mogul’s epic missteps, Politico reported.
In a play on Muhammad Ali’s famed ‘Thrilla in Manila’ fight, Cuban dubbed the debate the ‘Humbling at Hoftstra’ for Trump.
Just got a front row seat to watch @HillaryClinton overwhelm @realDonaldTrump at the “Humbling at Hofstra” on Monday. It Is On !

Hillary Clinton’s campaign lauded the move, noting that Cuban is not known for hiding his emotions during high-profile events.
If you have ever seen @mcuban courtside at a Mavs game, you know he’ll be fired up for Monday’s debate. #ImwithHer

Cuban has feuded with Trump repeatedly on a number of issues, including whether the Donald is really as rich as he claims. Cuban has also taken some jabs at Clinton for not running a stronger campaign.
Other independent minded billionaires have also joined Cuban in shunning Trump, including ex-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
