Care is perhaps too strong a word. I was more interested in it as an example of marketing a show than the fight itself. In terms of promotion and hype it was exceptional. In terms of the fight itself, what pretty much everyone thought would happen happened.

Better than the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight

McGregor took it to round 10. Frankly not much surprise in the result though I was always kind of hoping for a McGregor knockout, but after the first 3 rounds it was clear he wasn't going to land anything hard.

Good fight, right person won. The money is stupid hey?

Did he take it to round ten? I suspect Mayweather could have finished the fight much earlier if he'd been inclined to do so. Instead he opted for the low risk option of thoroughly sounding out his opponent. I'm not saying that was the wrong call, but I don't think Mayweather was ever not in control. It got to round ten because that was Mayweather's will more so than McGregor providing a stiff opposition.

The ideal result would have been for McGregor to have knocked out Mayweather with an illegal move in the opening rounds. That way they would have both lost :p.

Alas, it was never going to happen.

I think Mayweather's plan was to tire Connor out, that's fairly obvious, but McGregor took it too him pretty hard in the first three rounds. By the fourth, Mayweather started to come out of his shell and actually got a good blow by McGregor, but that round was by no means a clear win for him. He didn't have a way to beat McGregor's early energy, but he couldn't stay defensive the first six rounds, so he had to up the tempo

Floyd's looked as good against southpaws, which also probably played into this, but there were a few moments early on where i legitimately though Mayweather might get laid out. The uppercut by McGregor almost made full contact, but it's little moments like that which he couldn't carry on.

After round 5, i was just hoping he'd make it to the twelfth. still, fun fight, especially having to hop on periscope, from stream to stream

*never* looked

one big point against Connor is that... he's 29 and in his prime. Floyd is 40. Floyd looked like he could go all 12 rounds and then get into a bar fight while Connor looked like he needed a drink at about 6. Still, classy performance by Mayweather, he used his strengths well and McGregor really looked like he wanted to start kicking or sweep his legs haha
