That was borne out by the enormous number of wealthy people and celebs attending the Mayweather MCGregor fight.
McGregor did a good job against the greatest defensive fighter of all time, and one of the best boxers of all time.. Mayweather "mixed it up" a lot more than he usually does, accepting getting hit, both to give the fans a good fight and because I don't think he feared McGregor's punching power. In 49 previous fights he had to have encountered a few good punchers. Of course he doesn't get hit that often because of his elusiveness. That means he's not taken as many beatings as most fighters with now 50 pro fights.
MCGregor should have used the CocoNutt Headbutt.
