Even in round 1 when Conor got him with that upper it might as well have been a pillow soft jab to Floyd. He didn't have the raw power to ever even effect Floyd and he knew it the minute he connected once. So the pro just toyed with him for a few rounds then ate his ass alive.

ok i dont know anything about boxing but man this is a dumb fight
mayweather is coming in ducking way low with his gloves up and just waddling deep into macgregor's range, and then ripping the body and macgregor doesn't know what to do so he grabs him impotently and then the ref separates them and then do it all over again

He said that during the in-ring interview.

Nothing Rocky about what Mayweather did. Plenty of fighters have fought out of that high guard stance with Winky Wright being one of the better known fighters if you actually follow boxing. Mcgregor just dumb enough to expend all his energy hitting gloves. The stance leaves the body open. Cotto tried to fight Mayweather in that stance and Floyd went to his body and threw looping right hands around Cotto's gloves

I mean some of these hot takes in this thread are..........weird.
You know the UFC already does huge PPV's right? They just had one 3 weeks ago that did 850,000 buys
We got pro wrestling for that.
and there it is.

How ironic..

You need to be very careful going too carny with MMA, a fight like Dada 5000 vs Kimbo should never happen again
I guess I imagined Mayweather losing the first 3 rounds... he ate multiple lefts and rights.

They count those 10-15 he quite literally shrugged off as clean lands too.
Floyd took those because he never at any point felt a hint of threat. He didn't even play defensive.

Floyd did dominate. He officially won all but one round on two scorecards, and was obviously carrying Conor throughout. And I'm not a boxing fan, btw. The whole sport's a farce in the modern era, IMO.
Pretty much. I wouldn't be surprised if this was staged to some degree.

Floyd just said Gate is highest ever beating Many vs May. It's over $80 million
He ate them. And slept on a OK stomach. No water shits, and was up the next morning. Teaching class.
But they didn't do shit?

I think it was between Round 5 or 6. I was too hyped to keep track but that one really needs to be spread out on the internet. While there were some good shots by Conor some of them had no power behind them.

They're paid to be there? And the cameras are still rolling. MGM doesn't dismantle their signage yhe moment the ref calls the fight.
He ate more punches from Conor than Pacman.

Yes you imagined that. Or you watched the fight wanting to match your own narrative and scored it accordingly.

Comments like these does make it all worthwhile

That was according to one judge
lol
Lets ignore that everyone knew this was a retirement fight, so nobody saw it.
You have to add a few of Conors fights to get to the Floyd-Pac fight numbers.

NJPW, roh, pwg,cmll , stardom, Indies, AJPW.
You have failed WrassleGAF , Brooklyn man.
Pacman was actually a threat to him.
Conor might have beat the record tonight.
Those punches did all of jack shit.

Canelo landed more punches despite getting routed by Floyd. Volume of punches in boxing is not an indicator of success. Try again.

He fought the actual professional boxer with actual knockout power differently than the MMA fighter who even when he lands as clean a punch as early in the fight as possible doesn't even stagger the 40 year old defensive technician.
It was as casual as minor surgery can be.

For the record, people who don't follow boxing shouldn't be fooled by Mayweather's reputation.
He's arguably the most skillful fighter of the last decades, but he's far from the most dangerous.
There are plenty of other boxers that, while not as skilled as Floyd, would have made this fight far more gruesome for McGregor.
I say this because I'm already reading a lot of comments like "He hold his own against one of the best ever, so he could have a very good career in professional boxing".
Nah, I don't think so. not from what we've seen tonight.

The post I quoted said he wasn't eating punches.
I noticed how you didn't put in NOAH

Again you are wrong. One judge gave him 3 rounds. The other two gave him the first and nothing after that.

Jeeeeeeez it' even uglier looking at the raw #'s.
He gave Pacquiao a much more serious effort. Most of the punches Conor touched him with were pretty feathery as well.
But they didn't do shit? Like he wasn't in danger at all while Connor was getting fookin gassed.
You tried to paint a narrative of Floyd not being hit.
