It seems that Floyd took some time to feel out McGregor, tire him out, and then he went into his compact-and-low stance, where he became an unstoppable fortress of a fighter. McGregor never really had a shot, other than surprise knockout.
At the Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas, McGregor was having a great time with fans. He shelled out the aforementioned $100,000 for a ton of drinks for a ton of happy fans, partying at the DJ table and posing for a lot of photos. You've gotta hand it to the guy - having the energy to go out and drink after a big fight is pretty cool.
However, McGregor had a lot more alcohol-related news to reveal after the fight.
At the post-fight press conference, McGregor was brandishing a bottle and boasting, a classic position for him to be in.
"Oh, that whiskey tastes so good...Notorious Irish whiskey coming soon. I'm going to take over the Irish whiskey market, and this is delicious. So keep an eye out for it."
Notorious Irish, eh? Well, maybe he should send Mayweather a few bottles if he really wants that rematch. Though if I were Floyd, I'd retire now and forever with that flawless 50-0.
McGregor was reportedly a couple drinks deep after the fight, so he got refreshingly honest:
“It was a good fight. I thought I smoked him in the early rounds...but I tell you what [to Mayweather], you are one composed individual. You didn’t get rattled. You tucked in when you needed to tuck in. I thought you changed your game plan three times. Came out looking to box — I thought you were being outboxed early on. You looked to play against the ropes, you were getting picked off there. And then you came in hands up to your forehead, head dipped in on your chest and you fought that kind of fight. I didn’t anticipate that. Three game plan changes in the fight. That’s what a true champion does. Much respect. You came with it. I got to give respect to that.”
