Mayweather vs. McGregor Fight Tracking Near All-Time PPV Buyrate Record

Assuming the preliminary estimates hold up, Mayweather will have participated in the top four pay-per-view events of all time. “Mexican boxing does not have a style in itself; Mexican boxing has different styles”.

During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience Fight Companion podcast, Rogan stated that Malignaggi should “shut the f**k up” because Malignaggi has no chance in a fight against any good MMA fighter. Mayweather ate a lot of punches in the first round, which is rare because of his defensive style but after the third round Mayweather started showing his champion-style, by showing his ability to dodge and weave.

Mayweather Jr answered the questions and uncharacteristically walked down his opponent.

In an interview that followed the fight, Mayweather announced that the occasion would be his very last fight, and that he would retire. “I think it’s a no-brainer”, Jericho said. I’m impressed with Conor McGregor the athlete. “Max has fantastic footwork and he’s a good striker, a very, very good striker”.

Talking to Dana White, head of UFC and joint promotor in the fight, the video shows McGregor apologising for losing. He must be praised for his effort, as well as his humble acceptance of defeat and exemplary behavior after the fight, which again is the trademark of boxing – fighters hugging each other after the fight #Brotherhood. When asked about the challenges facing McGregor as he prepared to step into the boxing ring, Hardy says that the Irishman is “having many of his [tools] taken away”.

“Still, Mayweather moves into retirement with an incredible ring legacy”.

“That was our game plan”. But try saying that Mayweather’s fans and you will be met with accusations of being a hater. But that is peanuts in comparison to what would have happened if McGregor would have pulled off the impossible and won.

Only the trilogy would bring him back to the Octagon and a win would likely be the last we see of him because according to his boxing coach Richard Perez, he’s looking to be paid big to face McGregor. I get a little wobbly and floaty. Let me hit the floor.

This writer refused an invitation to watch Mayweather – McGregor on PPV.

In the fighting world, Mayweather is hailed as a defensive genius and arguably the greatest pound-for-pound boxer of all time. But many wonder if he will follow the money and stick to boxing.

The Money Fight lived up to its billing.

Overall there was no losers in this fight.

Calling this the 50th win of Mayweather’s career is only cheapening the record.
