Well said. People are acting like Mayweather has just beaten a boxing champion. He had a 0-0-0 record! You can only beat what's in front of you , the same as Stoke v Rochdale the other night One football team vs another. One professional boxer vs an MMA fighter.

There is absolutely no way Mayweather would accept a defeat. He's 49-0. He's never lost and he has the chance to become the first fighter in history to achieve a record of 50-0, overtaking his hero Rocky Marciano who finished on 49-0. Why would he throw away his legacy and just allow McGregor to win? And don't say the money, cause he'll get more if he wins anyway. Sometimes it's a pleasure to be wrong. I hope to God there is no rematch because that clown McGreggor is just embarrassing. Someone should shove a pie in his gob to shove him up (or a boxing glove ofc) And you can't even give him respect for getting in the ring with someone like Mayweather? Getting as far as he did? Same logic that bullies have to stop people trying to achieve something. He was everything but embarrasing.

His mouth is embarrassing, his manner , his total hard man attitude just pathetic.

He did it for the money , had mayweather been 5 years younger that clown Conor wouldn't have lasted a round

Yes one fighter v another fighter , just accept he was totally outclassed and out of his depth , he let a 40 yr old retired boxer make him look a twat

He didn't look like a twat, he walked out a winner with that paycheck and proven how skilled he is as a mixed martial artist. Not many boxers have taken 4 rounds on the apparent "greatest of all time" McGregor is a monster.

He is like that to sell a fight, Mayweather does the same, but you seem to forget about him.

Exactly the result was never in question, but people on here are acting like Mayweather has just taken down an undefeated world champion boxer.

Sorry my sort of fighter is Hagler, Duran, Benn, Sugar Ray Leonard and Frazier. Fighters who fight "A War" don't need to drum up support with show business.

I take it you don't watch many Mayweather fights. Mayweather practically invented trash talking to promote fights. He's the KING of trash talk.

He maybe a monster at his own sport there's no denying that , but he new that it was only a huge pay check he was picking up against mayweather as class is permanent and he new he didn't stand a chance against the best pound for pound boxer on the planet

Any boxing fan would agree on that.

I think quite a few would have trouble that version of Floyd. I honestly wondered if it was on the level, and thought Floyd was carrying him. It could just be that Mayweather has finally got old.

Watched the fight on YouTube earlier and I had McGreggor winning the first 4 rounds comfortably and even the 5th was close with nothing in it.
To me, Mayweather looked sluggish and boxed in a manner in which he hasn't done before. You never see Floyd box on the front foot walking onto shots like he did in this fight. What I'll give Floyd credit for is noticing when McGregor was starting to tire then jumping all over him, McGreggor was visibly fucked from round 8 onwards and was lucky to survive the end of the 9th.
The fight just proved to me what I already knew, Mayweather was/is over the hill and that McGreggor is a whole hearted fighter but an obviously ameauteur boxer who would've got knocked out by someone like Golovkin earlier in the fight.
He did have a good jab to be fair to him but I was surprised to find his punches lacked any power at all after the first couple of rounds, even Mayweather was punching harder than he was.

He did have a good jab to be fair to him but I was surprised to find his punches lacked any power at all after the first couple of rounds, even Mayweather was punching harder than he was. Strange how people see the same fight differently. I had McGregor winning the first 2 rounds and either could have had the third. I don't know where people on here are getting "winning 4 rounds" from, Mayweather sized him up for 2 and a half rounds and then completely had his number for the rest of the fight. The judges only gave McGregor the first round. I was a little bit disappointed in McGregor, I had Mayweather completely outclassing him later on but I thought McGregor would have had a moment in the first few where he'd make Mayweather look a bit uncomfortable, just a bit too much pressure and roughing up or something for a while but it never happened. Mayweather twigged quite early on that he could come forward as much as he liked without worrying too much about what was coming back, apart from the odd hammerfist to the back of his head. As easy and comfortable fight as he could have hoped for. The clueless people most vocal about McGregor being able to win seem to be the ones most vocal about how him winning the opening rounds proves that he did brilliant and Mayweather isn't as good as people think. It's about as stupid as saying it when a chess grandmaster lets a few pawns be taken at the start of a match against somebody that is a bit crap at chess.

Let's face it - both fighters got what they wanted: big pay checks.
This event was about making money.
And it delivered in spades.
The outcome was as predictable as it was irrelevant.
More show biz than sport.
