Floyd Mayweather beats Conor McGregor by technical knockout
Floyd Mayweather knocked out Conor McGregor in Round 10 after the two men squared off in what was billed as the Fight of the Century in the highly anticipated and Hollywood-studded fight in Las Vegas on Saturday night August 26,2017
After
winning his 50th undefeated match, Mayweather swore it would be his
last fight ever as the 40-year-old made off with the coveted 'Money
Belt' and at least $100million for his night’s work.
The
two super-welterweight fighters had been preparing for the big boxing
match for months and the event generated hype as the world waited to see
who would become boxing's undisputed king.
The
audience was packed with 20,000 ravenous fans at the T-Mobile Arena in
Las Vegas with private jets ferrying celebrities into Vegas as bets
worth more than a million dollars were placed on the match.
Some
of those A-listers who took their seats ringside were Bruce Willis,
Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lopez, Vanessa Hudgens, Demi Lovato and
LeBron James, all spotted eagerly waiting for the big fight.
The
money-spinning showdown is likely to break all records and surpass the
$600million generated by Mayweather's fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2015
Floyd Mayweather will now head into what he says is a permanent retirement with a perfect 50-0 record, one better than heavyweight legend Rocky Marciano.
The American is also expected to be around $200 million wealthier, taking his career earnings to around $1 billion.
Conor McGregor, who was an unemployed former plumber four years ago before emerging as one of the biggest stars of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is expected to earn around $100 million.
