The fight, aptly dubbed: “The Money Fight,” was billed to be the biggest fight in combat sports history. Highly sensationalized, it pulled up staggering statistics from viewership numbers to winnings for both fighters and promoters. The anticipated fight took place on August 26 at the T-Mobile Arena, Nevada. The night ended with Mayweather stopping McGregor in the 10th round and hitting a 50-0 unbeaten boxing record.

I mean, he wins his fights not in good fashion, but in great fashion, and they have him at number 4?

Though the scheduled 12-round bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena has failed to capture the public’s imagination with heavy underdog Berto having lost three of his last six contests, but Mayweather insisted that entertainment would be a priority on the night.
