In the end, I was entertained and both men came out winners

The fight was so much more entertains than the "experts" predicted. Conor came out with pure adrenaline and made for an interesting three rounds. Mayweather took over and McGregor faded. McGregor got his second wind for round 8, but after that the writing was on the wall. Went 10 rounds and the fight was worth the money.

1. Floyd goes 50-0
2. McGregor will brag he never quit and never got knocked down.
3. Both got paid.
4. Both represented their sport well.

All in all, a good time that lived up the hype.

Completely agree. No way I thought both guys come out a winner tonight but they really both did.

It's almost like it was all scripted to work out that way.

Not the actual fight but the promotion itself. Both guys talking about killing the other leading up to the fight..all the trash talk and then ended up hugging each other when it's over. So which is it? Kind of gay.

How miserable do you guys got to be in real life? Everything is scripted here. NBA games (3-1), NFL (Dallas), boxing and many more. Even in the O-T when something cool comes it's scripted.

About as fun as a bag of rocks.

His daddy mentioned "round 4" to mayweather in round 1. He wouldn't mention round 4 if it wasn't a little bit scripted. He threw 6 total punches round 1 and had no plan to win by TKO until round 5, which at that point, its already a moral win for Connor. So yeah it was scripted to get Connor a moral victory but it was still entertaining as hell

Come on man, you can't really believe this!

FM's game plan was to let CM punch himself out in rounds 1-3. Mentioning round 4 must have meant that Floyd was going to get a bit more aggressive in that round.

There was no way that Floyd was going to knock him out early, so it seems he worked it perfectly.
