Conor McGregor believes he carried Floyd Mayweather in their 2017 mega-fight despite being stopped by the legendary boxer.
UFC star McGregor competed in his first professional boxing match against former five-weight world champion Mayweather, losing to the American by 10th round stoppage. The fight was a huge success, selling 4.3million pay-per-view buys to make it the second highest-selling fight of all time, falling 300,000 buys short of the record held by Mayweather's 2015 fight with Manny Pacquiao.
The Irishman has now insisted he was the one who carried the fight, despite Mayweather also making the same claim several years ago. Whilst replying to Nate Diaz about a potential in the UFC's new Power Slap league, McGregor wrote back: "I carried Floyd. Not next time. Like in the pub. One shot. Nighty night I don’t give a rats, U too."
