Yep, same here. Conor simply never stood a chance. I didn't see the fight unfortunately so i'm quite surprised he survived 10 rounds. Floyd is such a champ. Fucking Undefeated for ever.

Okay, was definitely surprised Conor lasted as long as he did. He came in and didn't completely embarrass himself, and earned a cool $30 mil, so I'd say he did what he came to do and isn't losing much sleep over his loss.
But the real winners are the Corona girls (the blonde one and the brunette who was behind Conor while he was talking after the fight trying to understand what he was saying).

So white people were cheering for the white guy and black people were cheering for the black guy? Who coulda thunk.

He believes that his bodyguards are too heavy for one plane and the weight needs to be spread out across two.

How so? I'm talking about their fans, not all of them of course. But many including Joe Rogan and Conor Mcgregor etc.
MMA lends itself to be entertaining to many without the person watching having to know anything to be entertained far more than boxing.
Edit: included Conor after tonight's poor display.
He's such an avid reader, the second jet houses his personal library that he can't bare to leave behind.
There's some symbolic value I guess, and Floyd did dominate but at the same time Floyd can't really boast too hard about beating an MMA fighter at boxing. That's kinda like how I could beat both of them in, say, Street Fighter V.

That's not even fair. Pryor would have absolutely killed him. Conor would not even think of taking that fight. We should say someone that he might fight like Salvador Sanchez
My girlfriend and I are white and we watched it together and she wanted McGregor because she thought Tom Hardy could play him n the movie... lol
I wanted Mayweather to sweet-science his ass out of the ring.
Was happy but wanted the ref to let Mayweather put him down and see if he could get back up for 11, 12
But yea some of those reactions salty as hell idiots
Surrounding this whole fight, there were literally people infering that MMA hits would be more effective than a boxers punch.
Mayweather wasnt even fazed, walking into the punches and was laughing through the whole fight despite the two being highly regarded fighters.
No doubt Mayweather loses in the Octagon but he has every right to boast after reminding people boxing is a very technical game and no amount of MMA training is going to mean shit in that ring.
Not really, Conor looks like a pain for Floyd to fight. Then Conor gassed out and that was that. It would have went the distance if Conor had more in the tank.
Conor kept hammering him on the back of the head too and punched him in the nuts as well.

I never thought about the racial thing for some reason. Guess I just didn't get much of it here.
Post made it seem like MMA was this blood sport for meat heads who "don't have to think". Don't see much discrepancy between MMA and boxing masses myself.Nekketsu Kõha;247091788 said:
This match could've made boxing relevant for the first time in years. Mayweather not knocking Conor out until the 10th round is a huge win for UFC/MMA in the eyes of many. Winning on stamina isn't bringing in new fans.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any stupider.
Floyd doesn't give a shit about making boxing more relevant.
His goal was to get to 50-0 and collect his $300m.
Mayweather only shot 9 punches in the first 3 rounds, hit another 161 for the rest of the match, landed over 50% of his punches, kept pressuring Conor and kept closing the distance as Conor continued to backpedal.
Floyd knew he couldnt go the distance and straight yoyed with McGregor.

If crocop could beat up mma fighters in his prime, then a world class boxer can. I dont get this UFC bro fight gym stuff in here.
👀
I'm not saying that was his goal but it would've been nice though.
there will be more of this when the talk shows start spouting talking points for UFC fans.
Interesting fight. McGregor overperformed early- perhaps PBF let him? Some things to note:
-Mayweather was the stronger man and had better power. For an MMA fighter Conor has top power and Floyd is average power at this weight, but Mayweather had more power in the ring tonight.
-Mayweather was extremely strong in the clinch. Lots of subtle technique.
-Conor actually did show him different angles! He was able to land early well and Mayweather never really used his shell defense.
-Conor's jab was nice early. He surprised me with that.
If Mayweather went into MMA at a younger age, he'd have been an all-time great. I think that's my takeaway from this fight. Mayweather would have been a transcendent MMA fighter. I remember a couple of years ago posters said that Rousey would have beaten him. Really? LOL. Floyd is a world-class athlete. Skill disparity aside. With basic takedown defense PBF would crush most UFC LWs and FWs.
Anyway, no disrespect to McGregor. He went and fought well against the best boxer of our era.

Oh, haha. Okay. Hope i can rewatch it somewhere.
Floyd went to town as soon as Conor gassed. You could see if from how he was holding his gloves by the 5th. I've no idea why they don't work on his stamina, maybe he's just not physically capable of improving it or its his fighting style, but he's the same in MMA.
I expected more from Floyd in some ways, and Conor surprised me in others.
😬
That fight has no right to be as good as it was. Much respect for both of them.

In what context was this 10 grand put down? Down on him winning?
And a man.

Besides making money for himself? Not a sarcastic question.
Yeah the same thing happened versus Diaz in the first fight. Conor is a sprinter and not a distance runner. I thought he did a good job conserving his energy tonight for the first 3-4 but once Floyd started turning up the pressure it fucked Conor's gas tank up.

Floyd was so intimidated by Conor that he had to change his style!
/UFC mark
Hasn't stopped him before.
Had Conor showed Mayweather he had the stamina to fight all 12 rounds, Mayweather would just go on the defensive & counter the rest of the match.
But you could tell by how unguarded and direct Mayweather was fighting after the 3rd, you knew that he knew the fight was heavily in his favour.

I just thought he might figure he could beat him early since there is a huge skills gap. Why even wait 10 rounds. Still think floyd would have won early even when connor wasn't tired.
Well, yeah. Or is a mashup of some salty white MMA fans supposed to be somehow representative of white people?
I'm white and was cheering for Mayweather, if anyone (even though he's a piece of shit, McGregor is even worse). Most people I spoke to, like myself, weren't invested in who wins. Watched for the spectacle of it.
LOL my point is than men>women in sports.
I still find it amazing that people thought (or still think) that Ronda could beat Floyd in a fight.
Then again we live in a universe where people think that Donald Trump is a good president.
And, like most of Mayweather's romantic encounters, it ended with the other person getting repeatedly punched in the face.

He makes a shit ton of money for other people yes. Not just himself and for boxing he promotes like the other fights tonight if you watched them and more.
"If Conor were to gas in this fight then everything we believe in Conor is fake"

I don't know that MacGregor will ever have true stamina. He spent his whole career cutting enough weight to fight almost two divisions lower than his hydrated weight just so he could be a monster at lower levels. I don't know how well his body would hold up.
