Floyd Mayweather outpointed Connor McGreggar in their big money matchup.
Mayweather looked better as the fight went on and McGreggar appeared to be fading near the end.

......the ref stopped the fight as Mayweather was teeing off on a bloody faced McGregor.TKO.

McGregor wasnt cut you must be thinking of the undercard fight w/ Boudou Jack.

For what it was the fight was interesting...def better than the Pac man fight few years ago.

I am a HUUUUGE Conor fan, he's just so likable lol...but I still feel 110% that fight was a Dana White money maker and rigged all the way man.

Rigged you say?

 

[Steve_C]

Just sayin.....lol

 

[B. Hizzle]

Rigged? The judges scorecards (which didn't affect the outcome)? Or because the ref stopped it

Either way it was obvious who the winner was going to be, McGregor was gassed. Floyd woulda dropped him, it wouldn't be a KO but he was going down.

Rigged as in I personally think the outcome and how long it went was decided by Dana White long before the fight started IMO.

I just think Dana White is two things...

#1 A GREAT business man, he took UFC from basement crap to a HUGE multi mullion dollar monster, and has complete control over UFC to the point he does not even allow mangers for any UFC fighters because he knows managers = money loss.

#2 A money hungry do anything for a buck screw his own Mother SOB

I could be wrong, but my opinion ...this whole fight was set up from day one by Dana as a money maker for him. I told my buddy whos a UFC fan as I am that it would go no less than 10 rds because for the cost of the PPV ($100) if it went less then people would feel screwed, and it went....10 rds lol. I told him Mayweather would win because thats is just how it has to be....life long Champ boxer trained for years against a crowd fav likable guy that trained MMA but only trained boxing for 8 months.

Played out exactly how I told my buddy it would, go 10 rds, long enough to make it seem "okay" to PPV fans, Conor would win the first half so his fans woul feel good, then NO KO because that would not set well, but either TKO or Decision for Mayweather. Which 10rd TKO is how it ended. I called it months ago, even called the TKO and RD! lol

I dunno, just my opinion I guess, I love UFC, Huge Conor fan, hell I'm a Floyd Jr fan too always liked the guy. Just think the whole thing was a Dana money maker from day one though if ya ask me. Could be wrong, just my opinion though.

You're 100% right on the fact this was a Dana White money maker from day 1! lol I don't think there will be a Lesner vs Jones fight tho. This was a 1 of a kind event.

Speaking of Lesner, I wish he would have got into MMA a lost sooner than he did. I think he would have been UFC Hevy Weight champ for a LONG time if he did. That dude was a monster, and fast as hell for his size. He hated getting hit in the face though you could tell. If he trained for years longer than he did, he would have overcome that and been huge in the UFC. His fight with Carwin was amazing. He went downhill after that though.
