How was the fight?
The fight started with a slight lead from McGregor.
In the second round, McGregor continued to be active, but he only managed to slightly break through the opponent's defense. Mayweather masterfully applied defensive technique. The American gradually began to fire at the Irish corps, but also did not fire a single solid shot. According to the results of two rounds, the rivals demonstrated an equal fight.
In the third round, the American continued to remain calm, without actually engaging in a fight. His opponent, on the contrary, blushed and began to breathe heavily.
In the fourth round, McGregor continued to strike at the back of the opponent's head, periodically falling down with low blows. Mayweather, on the other hand, showed confidence and fired at the opponent's body. The Irishman managed to deflect his blows, but it was noticeable that he was losing strength. At the end of the round, Mayweather's advantage became noticeable.
The opponents spent the fifth round in the clinch, the referee had to intervene in the development of the fight. Mayweather even pushed McGregor after the end of the round signal.
In the sixth round, McGregor hit Mayweather on the back and the back of the head for several seconds. The judge did not react, it brought the American. He responded with a series of blows. And although McGregor's pressure was significantly reduced, both athletes showed a willingness to continue the fight.
In the seventh round, Mayweather significantly increased his activity. McGregor looked exhausted, breathing heavily, but continued to stay on his feet. The American looked at this with irony, but did not dare to end the battle.
McGregor spent the eighth round, continuing to attack the opponent in the back of the head. Mayweather carried out both single punches and double body-heads. At the end of the round, the advantage on the side of the American was obvious.
The ninth round began with a tight blow from McGregor, which hit the opponent just above the knee. The American spent this round even more actively, inflicting a series of combinations of three or four hits on the enemy. As a result, the Irishman missed several painful blows, but kept on his feet.
In the tenth round, it felt like the end of the fight was near. McGregor missed one blow after another and stopped responding to them.

The Irishman stopped defending himself and the referee decided to stop the fight.
At the time of the interruption of the fight, all three judges recorded Mayweather's convincing advantage: 89-82, 87-83, 89-81.
How did the opponents react to the outcome of the battle?
After the end of the fight, Floyd Mayweather noted that, together with the enemy, he was able to give the fans what they so desired to see. According to him, McGregor turned out to be stronger in boxing than he expected. “Conor was better than I thought, but I myself was even better,” the boxer concluded.
The American also said that he deliberately tried to drag out the fight and exhaust McGregor. “My plan was to take my time, let him hit and then finish him myself. In MMA, McGregor fights for 25 minutes and then fizzles out, I knew it would be the same now, ”he said.
Immediately after his victory, Mayweather announced that he was ending his career. “This was my last fight and I chose the right partner to do it. Conor McGregor, you're a fucking champion," he told fans.
Conor McGregor at the end of the fight said that, in his opinion, the referee made the wrong decision to stop the fight. “It seemed to me that, overall, neither of us had a big advantage. The judge should have let him lay me down. Nobody is ready to take that risk. But as for me, it’s better to take a hit in the chin and move on, ”said McGregor,“ I would like Mayweather to be allowed to continue. I'd rather be knocked out."
The Irishman also appreciated the excellent preparation of the opponent. “He is in perfect control of himself. Floyd is no longer as fast and powerful, but he is extremely cold-blooded. I have to pay my respects to him,” McGregor said.
In the fight of the century, which took place on August 26 local time in Las Vegas, Conor McGregor defeated Floyd Mayweather. The victory of the best boxer in the world, who entered the ring against a mixed martial arts fighter, did not come as a surprise, however, this fight really went down in history - and not only thanks to unusual opponents. We tell you what's what.
The fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather ended with a technical knockout of the first in the 10th round. The fight was conducted according to the classical rules of boxing. And it was difficult for McGregor, who is a mixed martial arts fighter: by the tenth round, he was already desperately trying to survive his beating and just hold on for as long as possible.
McGregor started the first rounds quite smartly: he immediately went on the attack, despite the fact that Mayweather, rather, studied the opponent’s tactics and was in no hurry to attack. This paid off: by the fifth round, Conor slowed down a lot, but Floyd, on the contrary, took on the enemy. Then McGregor ran out of steam more and more, and even those rare blows that he still tried to inflict on his opponent fell into defense. In the tenth round, the Irishman was close to falling to the floor, but the referee stopped the fight just in time.
This fight brought Floyd Mayweather Jr., who officially ended his career back in 2015, not only a beautiful figure in the piggy bank of battles - 50 victories and not a single defeat - but also money: the boxer earned almost $ 200 million.
The fight brought serious earnings to McGregor: it accounted for about $ 100 million. And this is another reason why the fight between McGregor and Mayweather became the fight of the century - because of the record cash collection.
The cheapest ticket at the Timobile Arena in Las Vegas, where the event was held, cost $1,500 closer to the fight. For expensive seats near the ring, you would have to pay up to 30 thousand dollars. In addition, to watch the fight on TV, viewers in the United States had to pay $99.99 per broadcast. But even despite the wild price, the organizers expected that 50 million Americans, that is, every sixth inhabitant of the country, would watch the fight.
It seems that both opponents were satisfied with the fight. Although McGregor, who famously promised at a press conference to take out an opponent before the second round, did not even manage to keep his promise, he looked happy. Perhaps 100 million warmed his soul, or perhaps the fact that he, a non-professional in boxing, managed to enter the same ring with the best boxer.
I was tired, but I didn't want the referee to stop the fight. I would like to keep fighting. There were only two rounds left. It was hard, I was close. Floyd was a little calmer than me, more in control of himself. I am proud of what I have achieved.
Mayweather, judging by his words, did not expect much from the battle with a non-professional, but he was still satisfied. He also had his own goals: the boxer managed to break the record of Rocky Marciano, who ended his career with 49 victories without a single defeat.
Conor is a great fighter, he was better than I thought. I wanted him to wear himself out, so I let him attack. It was about the honor of boxing, which I had to protect. I knew that in 25 minutes Conor would run out of steam. This was my plan. Winning 50 means a lot to me, Rocky Marciano was a legend. Tonight was my last fight, that's for sure.
But many boxing icons had a low opinion of this fight beforehand. Former world champion Lennox Lewis said: "There's a lot going on ahead of time, there's hype, but I don't take it as a big fight."
Mike Tyson generally thought that McGregor would not survive this fight.
McGregor gets killed in boxing. I'm furious that they stepped into the boxing ring. These rules suck for McGregor. McGregor agreed to the most lame rules in the history of boxing and mixed martial arts.
Known for provocative antics, McGregor began to run into his opponent with the help of dubious tricks long before entering the ring. So, back in July, his jacket was noticed on the Internet, in which he came to a press conference with Mayweather. The jacket would be very cute, .
