Editorial: Six takeaways from Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor

We’ve made it through MayMac Mania, at long last.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. actually boxed Conor McGregor on Saturday night, and for all intents and purposes, it was compelling viewing. Mayweather ended his career with his first stoppage victory since Victor Ortiz in 2011, while McGregor gave a reasonably good account of himself in his professional boxing debut. If you wanted entertainment above everything else, I think this fight delivered and probably exceeded expectations for many (self-included). Those of you who were SO confident that McGregor would knock Mayweather out with that left hand... I hope you didn’t lose too much money or pride.
