Floyd Mayweather Defeats Conor McGregor In Historic Boxing Match—Rockers, Celebrities & Others React!

The fight of the century

Saturday night the world paid witness to one of the most highly anticipated sporting and boxing events in history. UFC world champion Conor McGregor stepped into the boxing ring to take on the undefeated Floyd Mayweather in a match that was begged for by the fans of combat sports. Conor looked to tamper Floyd’s 49-0 record, and pull off arguably the biggest upset in sports history.

But Floyd’s skill, unfortunately, overtook Connor’s little boxing experience and Floyd capped off his career with an unblemished 50-0 record with a TKO 1:05 into the 10th round. Conor put up a hell of a fight, however, and impressed a lot of people. The fight was watched worldwide, and celebrities and rockers tuned in to give their input during the fight, and after to share their reactions to the result
