I got the impression there was an agreement not to take him out too early, to make a spectacle of it

That was obvious. Mayweather turned on the heat in the last couple of rounds and mcgregor was beat.
Bet you didn't think that in the first 3 or 4 rounds though eh?
What are you talking about? Mayweather wasn't in trouble the entire fight. He took a few rounds to get the measure of Connor and then took him apart. Also McGregor's stamina is terrible for a supposed world class athlete.

The first 2/3 rounds were the same as every Floyd fight. He had him figured out and owned the rest of the fight. As soon as Conor didn't get the early KO it was done.

He's condition for years for five rounds of five minutes.

Well that was a shock... Who would have ever thought a world class boxing champion would out box a MMA fighter.
There was only ever going to be one winner (well two in the money sense!) in this. I read an article from a converted MMA to Boxer and he said he was struggling with keeping energy in his shoulders. Boxers who have been at it since a young age have it but MMA fighters don't.
The BBC was hilarious. Trying to make out Mayweather was on the verge of losing in round 4 and blowing heavily!
There will be "Connor was so brave and had the heart of a lion" "Floyd is a legend" etc etc
Back to the penthouse for a nice bottle of Crystal and a visit from the bank manager to see how he would like his money deposited.
Kerching!

Retired boxer aged 40 batters MMA figer in his prime (and he did batter him - could have finished it any time he wanted to).
Good to see the 'proper' sport coming out on top.

Piss off.
Boxing isn't the only combat sport.
It was Conors first professional boxing match.
A 40 year old MMA fighter would do the same to a boxer in an MMA bout.

3 rounds in he gasses I guess.

At least they both followed the agreed script

the scorecards were 89-81 89-82 and 87-83 when it ended. That was complete control from Floyd

I was just surprised they didn't bring in The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan for good measure.

I suspect there's no professional boxers who are arrogant or cuntish enough to think they could beat an MMA fighter at their own game. Thats another reason why I'm glad that Mayweather won.
