re: Regardless of the actual fight, Mcgregor won last night. Actually, he dominated.

An average adult sports fan knew likely knew who Mcgregor was before this. I'll give you that. That doesn't equal a household name though. Because you also have a ton of non-sport fans and a whole slew of kids who never even knew who Floyd Mayweather was before this thing.
Now many of those people only know who Mayweather is because of this event with Conor Mcgregor.
If you all want to clown Mcgregor as a boxer, fine. I don't pretend he'll ever be a decent professional boxer. But he just accomplished something very few professional athletes ever do and did so in a very deliberate and methodical way. He set out to get a big money fight, he used the only sport that could command that kind of money, and went after the only guy who could demand that kind of money.
The day after its being estimated he just made upwards to $100 Million and he never hit the mat.
So yes, I call that domination...regardless of what technically went down or any other analysis someone wants to through out there.
I swear...some of you all need to think outside that narrow box you keep yourselves in sometimes.

Nice theory. The only problem is that Mayweather is the guy that did all that.
He's the one that decided he either wanted or needed one more mega payday, took advantage of all the boxing vs MMA fanfiction out there and chose McGregor as his opponent, while making sure he kept a vast majority of the money and every single advantage.
McGregor's twin "contributions" were being the most marketable MMA star and able to fight in Mayweather's weight class.

And why do you think he got 100 million? Because of money mayweather. You think connor fighting Joe schmo brings in that kind of ratings? Nope.
Oh and sweet moral victory thread bro.
