OPINIONIT likely wouldn’t have mattered at the end of the day because of the extreme difference in skill level and experience, but Conor McGregor and his team made several key mistakes in their preparation for fighting Floyd Mayweather.

IT was Street Fighter personified; the best boxer on the planet against the most marketable mixed martial artist in a $700 million event that drew the eyes of the world.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. wore down Conor McGregor, a mixed-martial arts star making his debut as a professional boxer, in the early rounds to set up a punishing end with a 10th-round TKO.

Conor McGregor will lose a whopping 90 percent of his reported $75 million purse for the fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr on August 26 should he be disqualified for an illegal blow.

DEFIANT Floyd Mayweather has given Conor McGregor a huge boost by agreeing to fight using lighter gloves.

Shortly after McGregor showed up, Mayweather made his way into the arena and the press conference got underway, but the show only went downhill from there.

Conor McGregor promised to knock out Floyd Mayweather inside four rounds when they faced off for the first time to promote their 26 August bout.
