Mutual decision announced following the Serbian’s difficult start to the season
It was all about Money
Forever after, the record will show that Floyd “Money” Mayweather defeated Conor “The Notorious” McGregor by TKO in the 10th round of their money-spinning fight at the Las Vegas Arena on August 26 2017.
What it will not show is that McGregor was not only out of his depth, he was murdered from the opening bell to the last. The idea that he emerged from this event with a shred of credibility – much less the effusive praise that has flowed from the keyboards of a parade of writers and pundits who really should know better – is absurd.
The bald truth is that the Irish MMA champion was carried for 10 rounds by a 40-year old with brittle hands who hadn’t stepped foot in a boxing ring for two years.
