That is exactly how I saw it. :agree:

I'm like a Zombie this morning.
I am well past staying up to that time now. Never again :-)
I thought the whole TV event was poor. There was no atmosphere at all for the whole event.
Thought CM done better that I thought he would but still looked a fish out of water.
I hope he goes back to the UFC to defend his belts and forgets about boxing.
There is absolutely no way that there will be rematch in the octagon. If there was , it would last less than a minute.
Splitting headache this morning and not moving from the couch. Roll on the football.
It went pretty much exactly as I thought it would. McGregor never threatened Mayweather but equally McGregor is a hard guy and was rarely threatened by Mayweather who doesn't have a great deal of punching power/KOs compared to his peers.
Mayweather would know it's not a race, it never has been for him, so going 10 rounds is unlikely to be a concern or a surprse for him.
McGregor would easily win at MMA, of course he would. Mayweather would lose against a decent chunk of boxers in an MMA ring.
I thought it was an enjoyable fight.
McGregor did way better than he had any right to. He is some competitor.
Gas was with the benefit of hindsight always going to be an issue.
Far from the farce that some were predicting.
However the ref was really poor and McGregor should have had at least a point off.
Mayweather was everything that the few thinking fans of boxing on this forum predicted and a worthy winner.
I would like to see McGregor fight Alvarez but make the Mexican convert to MMA rules if he wants the paycheck.
Over 7000 empty seats confirmed......
'Figures provided by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), who sanctioned the bout, showed 13,094 tickets were sold. A further 137 were given away as complimentary tickets, taking the total attendance to 13,231. The T-Mobile Arena holds 20,500 for boxing events and on fight night, Mayweather Promotions stated the attendance was 14,623.'
