I feel like this damages his brand.


Nah, I think he could only have improved his brand with this fight. At best, all the people who wanted to give him a chance will just resort to the obvious conclusion: "Well, he's not a professional boxer like Mayweather."

That ref should have let Mayweather finish the job. McGregor had no defense left. One more right hook and he would have been down.

i don't think his brand is damaged. i mean sure he lost but he just went 9 full rounds with one of the best boxers to ever exist in his first boxing match ever.

can't really say shit to that.

I'm just happy I got to see Floyd actaully punch a guy a lot instead of avoid him for 12 rounds and win by decision

Nah, Money had MORE THAN ENOUGH opportunity to knock him out. If he didn't do it by that point it's his own fault.

I thought it was a pretty good fight, tbh. Mayweather looked so slow and outmatched in the first 3, but he's not considered legendary defensive fighter for nothing, as he found himself in the middle, culminating in domination when McGregor ran out of gas.

I fucking hate how cocky they both were/are, but that show of respect after the match was a welcome surprised.

True, he did prove his chin is amazing

Without seeing it though I feel like Floyd just took the safest route to victory and probably could have finished him earlier if he was willing to take the slightest risk.

i didn't watch it, but mayweather also had every incentive to 'sell' the fight a bit by letting mcgregor win early rounds. in a match where he was the overwhelming favorite he could take risks by falling behind that he wouldn't have against real opponents

Yup, you protect a fighter based on their future, and McGregor ain't got one in boxing.

It's kinda hard to tell if Floyd looked old, or wasn't taking Conor seriously.

It's likely a mix of both, but way more than enough to win.

Thing is, I hope Conor's not gonna retire. He's going to make 9 figures once he gets his PPV cut.

Would anyone here fight for 10m after making 100m?

Pls fight Khabib

The 30m was his guarantee, it doesn't include the PPV points.

Conor's guarantee for his UFC fights is like 3m, but he makes 10-15m total because his PPVs draw such high buyrates.

I guess Conor vs GSP could make him 20m? But yeah, no incentive to ever fight again.

Depends on how much he likes fighting

Or maybe he's one of those people where if he can make more money he will, whether he needs to anymore or not.

It's funny, all this time we thought the Diaz brothers would be up for a fight against anybody.

Then after their big money fights they're happy to chill and will only fight for millions.

Well, he only lasted so long because Mayweather didn't even try for 3 rounds.

If Mayweather tried from the start, it would've been over in no time.

"trying" in the first 3 rounds means risking a lucky punch.
instead he'll just defend for the first 3, at which point McGregor will have his power far more subdued and his stamina will steadily drain.


still could've done him in 6 but eh.

Pretty much this. Mayweather deserves an Oscar for those early rounds.

If the line tonight was closer I'll laugh. Floyd was -370 at close.

I don't think Mayweather was "not trying for 3 rounds" I think he was simply weathering the storm until Conors gas ran out. Was a small show of respect to Con's power before he schooled the fuck out of him for the rest of the fight.

I don't think McGregor was doing anything in the first three rounds. He was just full of vitality. It's not like he was successfully aggresively pushing.

Yeah, Mayweather fought smart and stuck to the gameplan. I think he could have turned it on earlier, especially once Conor was clearly flagging, but he didn't need to and left the ring with the only thing he cared about - the win.

Difficult to push against someone that basically turtles, but he landed a few great shots and rocked mayweather... McGregors chin just looks more and more impressive though. I just hope he doesn't pay the price for it and end up with brain damage.

Nah.


???

He threw and landed more punches in all three rounds. There's not a single metric that shows Floyd won one of those rounds.
