NWBOXING 247's video: What Does Floyd Mayweather Think Of Conor McGregor s Brain Injury Suffered By KO Defeat

UFC Star Conor McGregor Suffered A Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Following The Knockout Loss To Floyd Mayweather In The 10th Round Saturday Night. http://www.independent.ie/sport/mcgregor-v-mayweather/conor-mcgregor-v-floyd-mayweather-stopped-due-to-mild-traumatic-brain-injury-36093406.html When referee Robert Byrd stepped in to stop the bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor in the 10th round on August 26th, McGregor was not terribly pleased with the decision. While clearly on wobbly legs, and eating a number of unanswered blows, McGregor told the assembled crowd after the fight, that he would have preferred to go out on his shield, and that he was merely tired, not injured, when the bout was stopped. McGregor is quick to claim that he was never actually hurt, in the fight, only “bolloxed,” as he termed it. But, in a post for Vice’s “TONIC” column, former ringside physician, Darragh O’Carroll, MD, argues that the UFC lightweight champion was showing several signs that he may have been suffering from a concussion when Robert Byrd stepped in to save him (h/t MMAMania). "We know Mr. Tapout like to quit. You will wave that white flag," Mayweather said. Over the course of his career, Mayweather has generated 20 million views and $1.3 billion in revenue on pay-per-view, according to Showtime Sports head Stephen Espinoza. At one point, Mayweather bashed McGregor for fighting for such smaller stakes than the more lucrative bouts he and his The Money Team have negotiated. He pulled out a $100 million check from his backpack. McGregor, though, quickly responded with an allusion to the boxer's IRS troubles: "That's for the tax man." The location of the fight was moved this week when promoters reached an agreement with Ice Cube to move the championship of his Big3 basketball league from the T-Mobile Arena to the MGM Grand Garden Arena on that same date. The T-Mobile Arena, which opened last year, has a capacity of about 20,000. Mayweather and McGregor are launching a four-city tour this week to promote the fight. With a plus/minus connect percentage rating of plus-30 percent, Mayweather is at least twice as effective in the hit-and-don't-get-hit game as any of his contemporaries. Ward, who ranks fifth in Dan Rafael's March pound-for-pound rankings, is next best behind Mayweather with a plus-15 percent differential. After welterweight champ Manny Pacquiao's lackluster performance against Juan Manuel Marquez, Mayweather seemed to re-emerge as the popular favorite in the Manny-"Money" fantasy bout, should it ever take place. But how does this era's greatest pure boxer stack up statistically against the era's greatest brawler? Pacquiao recently lost to huge underdog Jeff Horn from Australia. During Floyd's prime, he's faced the likes of Diego Corrales, Ricky Hatton, Oscar Delahoya, Juan Marquez, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Canelo Alvarez, + More. Before retirement there was talks of possibly a fight between Mayweather & Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Errol Spence, Kell Brook, & Gennady Golovkin.
