The biggest event in combat sports history, Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor, just concluded and Mayweather took the crown, extending his undefeated streak to 50 victories and zero defeats.
Taking place in the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, the ten-round fight finished with “Money” winning via TKO.
Official Judges Scores – 89-81, 89-82, 87-83.
Although only one champion was awarded the “Money Belt,” both fighters leave the ring as winners — the Nevada State Athletic Commission estimated that Mayweather is set to earn a minimum of $100 million USD, while McGregor is guaranteed $30 million USD. But it’s very likely that the two fighters could earn up to four times their minimum amounts.
“I chose the right dance partner for my last dance … this was my final fight,” Mayweather commented, officially announcing his retirement.
