It’s over!
One is the greatest boxer of the last 20 years. The other is the biggest name in combat sports.
It’s Mayweather-McGregor I.
The long-talked-about and much-anticipated boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor actually happened in Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena.
In what was a much more entertaining fight than the equally hyped Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, McGregor made it to the tenth round before he finally tired and was finished in a TKO by Mayweather.
Below, we tracked the big punches and big scenes from the fight and the circus that surrounds it. These are the moments everybody will be talking about after the fight.
It looked like a lot of the people who showed up for the fight were putting their money on McGregor as the odds on Mayweather actually went down. Most thought the odds would sway in the other direction.
