I watched that fight live and at time it seemed legit, but I was drunkish and with a bunch of people at time, so got caught up in it. I rewatched it this morning and yeah, IMO Mayweather allowed that fight to go on 6 rounds longer than it should have to please fans. I hate his guts cos he's a terrible human and I'm a McGregor fan. But he could finished that a lot earlier if he wanted to.
Methink Mayweather wrong for what he did and fans would have enjoyed a knock out just as much, no even more. It would have been accepted and given the sport more credibility than last night's performance. Even McGregor would not have been diminished much since not his game. The people who run boxing have no foresight and are blinded by dollar signs.
Me thinks :) mayweather can eat a dick and die a slow painful death since he beat the shizzat out of the mother of his children more then 3 times on public record... he is a horrible person imo.. . but i think he gave fans what they wanted last night. I have no issue wit that.
That being said which I have no problem. Is it about what fans want or the integrity of the sport? Was it more show than sport?

I personally enjoyed the night... I didn't see any deception In the moment. I enjoyed the lie. :) I can see it now for what it was ... but I was happy for it in moment.
The ko was close, but the ref stopped it to save the embarrassment. And, yes, Floyd probably picked the round he would finish him. Probably bet a lot of money on it too.
Floyd carried him for four, maybe five rounds. The result was a foregone conclusion, Mayweather gave the Irishman a boxing lesson. The ref stopped it when McGregor ran out of gas and was no longer able to defend himself, that's his job. Mayweather was hitting him at will, so the referee awarded him a TKO to stop Conor's brain getting pounded to jelly.
