Forget $99.95, almost 3 million streamed Mayweather-McGregor for free
The fight with McGregor, 29, is largely expected to break the Mayweather-Pacquiao records, which would give Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs), 40, another payday well in excess of $200 million. But Mayweather Sr. did not appreciate when McGregor’s MMA reflexes came out in the ring.
Mayweather only threw a handful of punches in the first two rounds, yet still grinned for the cameras in the breaks.
Ultimately, Mayweather’s skills proved too much.
McGregor fans were outraged on Thursday when footage, filmed by FightHype, emerged showing Malignaggi in Mayweather’s gym with the pair joking Malignaggi had been sent into McGregor’s camp to as a spy, and repeatedly exclaiming “suckers”.
“Always have patience, you go’n get to where you need to”.
Due to the technical glitches with Showtime the fight was pushed back about an hour from its previously posted 11:15 p.m. ET start time. I had a lot of my friends in town. But I was the better man.
The UFC didn’t hire Snoop Dogg because of his fight knowledge and objectivity, but taking shots at the promotion’s greatest star after one of his greatest feats is surely overstepping the mark.
These streams were viewed by a baffling 2.93 million people worldwide.
Kornegay added that it was “Most likely” the most profitable fight ever for Westgate in a comment to Business Insider. Aldo and McGregor’s past was a short lived match that lasted thirteen seconds before “The Notorious” knocked out the ten-year undefeated champion and took his belt.
Why Snoop? We know you like Mayweather and the Money team, but this was something shameful.
Or did McGregor win those rounds on his own?
