Despite his bold predictions, Conor McGregor didn’t manage to upset Floyd Mayweather. In one of the most hyped boxing matches of past couple of years, Mayweather defeated UFC fighter Conor McGregor in the 10th round by TKO. This meant Floyd Mayweather remained undefeated, retiring once again, but this time with a 50-0 record, passing the great Rocky Marciano. Of course, this fight being counted into Mayweather’s record won’t sit well with everyone. There are plenty of those who believe that a fight against a fighter who didn’t have previous boxing experience shouldn’t be a part of his record.

For first 3 rounds, McGregor put up a good fight, landing a couple of solid punches. The 4th round saw Mayweather waking up as McGregor was already looking tired. Mayweather said that he and his team planned for this all along. The goal was to let McGregor “shoot his shots early” and finish it later in the match. Mayweather started to land punches and combos while exhausted McGregor didn’t have an adequate answer. In the 10th round, McGregor was getting hit with clean punches all over the place, and referee Robert Byrd had to step in and end the match. After the fight, McGregor wasn’t too happy about the match being stopped, saying he was just a bit fatigued and could have carried on.

According to CompuBox, Floyd Mayweather landed 170 out of 320 punches (53%), while Conor McGregor landed 111 out of 430 (26%). Interesting thing is that McGregor managed to land more punches than Manny Pacquiao, who landed 81 punches in his 12 rounds against Mayweather. Take a look at all of the Shostats from Compubox below.

Despite the entire buzz that was created around this fight, the 20,000 seats T-Mobile arena wasn’t packed, with 14,623 people in attendance. It looks like ticket prices ranging from $500 to $10,000 were just a bit too much.

One of the most hyped fights in this century, Floyd Mayweather against Conor McGregor, is days away, and things are getting even more heated between the two. Now, Mayweather promised to bet big on himself to win the fight, with CBS Sports speculating that it could be a sum of $5 million.

Mayweather is so sure in himself walking out victorious, that he believes his win is a pure formality, and that’s why he is looking to earn a bit more money on top of $350 million he is projected to earn from the fight itself.

“You guys will see the ticket, don’t worry. You guys will see the betting ticket. I can’t really say what’s the number, but I will bet something heavy. Will it be my biggest ever? Most likely.” – said Mayweather recently.

Anyone who follows the life (or Twitter account) of Floyd Mayweather, knows he is no stranger to big bets. He famously made a $1.1 million bet on Oregon to beat Arizona State in October 2012 and won. Also, in 2014 he put $800,000 on the Denver Broncos to win over the New York Jets. Although Mayweather only brags with winning tickets, there are several confirmations that he also lost the bets in the past. Although Dana White, president of UFC, said in 2013 that Mayweather often bets on himself, there are no proofs for that. The only thing we know is that Mayweather’s entourage occasionally made smaller bets on him to win in a fight.

If you are wondering how it would be legal for someone to make a bet on himself, you should know that there are no regulations forbidding the fighters to bet on themselves to win a fight. On the other hand, if a fighter makes a bet against himself, the law steps in.
