One UFC commentator took the opportunity to put UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor on blast following his TKO loss to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Nevada. This bout will likely be the most lucrative fight of all time. Mayweather stopped him in the 10th round.

With McGregor losing the bout, several former foes and several boxing personalities have taken several shots at the UFC champion. That includes rap icon Snoop Dogg, who serves as a commentator on the alternate “Snoopcast” commentary for the Dana White Tuesday Night Contender Series, which airs on the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

The rapper took to his Instagram account immediately after the fight where he went on an expletive-laden tirade against McGregor and his failure.

“50 and 0 n****. The motherf***ing champ, n****. 50 and 0. F*** that motherf***ing punkass McGregor, you b****. F*** him. Motherf***ing champ, n****.

“Yeah, n****. That’s what you get for coming to a motherf***ing gang fight with a butter knife you b***ass motherf***er. F*** you, n****. Money Team champ, n****. Where the party at, Floyd? Yeaaah!

“Hey, 50 and 0, n****. Hey, McGregor a bad motherf***er though. I’ll give him his, he got heart. He got heart.”

50. 0

With all of that being said, Dogg then ended the evening with a final compliment towards McGregor, which is a bit odd. Hey, maybe his negative comments towards the UFC champion was just in the heat of the moment.

“Good win tonight champ. Good fight McGregor, that was a great f***ing fight, man. Now we celebrate.”

Floyd Mayweather’s Son, Koraun, Says His Dad Is Retired After Conor McGregor TKO

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has maintained his 10th-round TKO of Conor McGregor would be his last professional fight.

Now his son is backing him up.

Mayweather’s son, Koraun, told TMZ Sports there is “no chance” of a rematch between the two fighters.

“Officially done. He’s 40, gotta realize that. He’s an old man,” Koraun said.

Mayweather came out of a 23-month retirement to defeat McGregor on Saturday in what could be the highest-grossing boxing match in history. The fight itself was more spectacle than great boxing match—McGregor was making his professional boxing debut—but it generated extreme hype because of the star power involved.

“This was my last fight tonight,” Mayweather said afterward. “For sure. Tonight was my last fight. Tonight I chose the right dance partner to dance with. Conor, you are a hell of a champion.”

Mayweather retires with a 50-0 record, breaking a tie with Rocky Marciano. While it’s a trope that boxers are never fully retired—Mayweather himself has “walked away” on multiple occasions—there is no real incentive for him to get back in the ring.

His fight with McGregor will net him another nine-figure payday, and it made him the third professional athlete to ever pass $1 billion in career earnings (Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan).

There is no obvious opponent who would guarantee Mayweather another $100 million, and the odds are overwhelmingly against a return to fight the winner of the Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin bout Sept. 16.

Mayweather vs. McGregor Results: Prize Money Payouts and Reliving Top Highlights

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor did exactly what they set out to do on Saturday night: Entertain fans and make mountains of money while doing so. 

In the end, the man they call Money walked away from the combat sports extravaganza as the winner. He scored a technical knockout victory over the UFC star in the 10th round, but not before the two put on an intriguing and entertaining show. 

Now that it’s over, the only thing left to do is sit back and watch just how much money they’ll bring in on this whole deal. As pay-per-view numbers begin trickling in, the picture will be more clear. 

For now, we do know where each fighter will start in terms of the revenue share. According to The TelegraphMcGregor is guaranteed to make $30 million for stepping into the ring on Saturday night, while Mayweather’s minimum is set at $100 million. 

Of course, both fighters will likely wind up with much more cash than that lining their pockets (or suits in McGregor‘s case). In the post-fight press conference, Mayweather said that the fight had already broken the live gate record despite not selling out. 

“We did break the record tonight for the biggest gate,” Mayweather said, per Yahoo. “Me and Pacquiao done $72 million. I think we done somewhere over $80 million in the live gate (with McGregor).”

Mayweather went on to say that the fight had also broken the pay-per-view record, but he didn’t elaborate on the numbers. 

Darren Rovell of ESPN noted just how crazy it is to see how far boxing has taken Mayweather in accumulating wealth:

While the money is mind-boggling, the fans were treated to a fight that helped ease their mind about the big price tag. McGregor showcased his skills early on while Mayweather came forward as advertised and engaged in an exciting fight. 

McGregor came ahead early in the fight. As the anticipation of this bout gave way to actual fighting, McGregor‘s first round showed a fighter that wasn’t afraid of the moment and was ready to put on a show. He was measured, but assertive. 

The Notorious landed a clean uppercut that showed he could get his fist to Mayweather’s chin. It was the first notable punch of the fight and had fans thinking they were in for something special.

McGregor continued that pace through the first four rounds, as many who were scoring the fight at home believed the MMA star was winning the fight. Round 5 is where Mayweather’s aggression started to shine through.

ESPN Stats & Info noted the uptick in his production once he got going:

As the rounds progressed, McGregor continued to press forward and didn’t take any rounds off. But Mayweather responded in kind and started to land harder shots even more regularly. 

Showtime Boxing captured a few of the harder shots the boxing superstar landed as the fight began heading toward the end. 

With McGregor gasping for air, hopes for the Notorious faithful began to fade. Money almost drew a finish at the end of the ninth frame with flurry after flurry and no recourse. However, McGregor evaded the finish long enough to hear the bell. 

Coming out in the 10th and final round, McGregor fired a body shot that was ruled a low blow, showing his final signs of life in the fight. Mayweather was patient in allowing McGregor to punch himself out a little more before going to close the fight out, but he moved quickly once he set his mind to it. 

McGregor never went down, but his legs were definitely suspect. After repeated shots to the head with no response, referee Robert Byrd saw it fit to end the fight. 

It was a fitting end to an exciting bout. While fans have been burned by Mayweather fights before, this one had a little bit of everything, including a finish. It was the first time that Mayweather had finished a fight since 2011, when he scored a controversial knockout of Victor Ortiz. 

With all the money that was made and the quality of the fight, it would be surprising if this is the last big-money fight that sees McGregor in the ring. Mayweather, however, provided the last memorable moment of the fight as he made sure to let everyone know he was calling it a career, per Showtime Boxing:

The landscape of big-money fights in boxing won’t be the same without Mayweather, and this was a fitting end to his era of pay-per-view dominance.

Snoop Dogg called Conor McGregor a “punkass” in the aftermath of his fight with Floyd Mayweather on Saturday in an explicit Instagram post.

In the video, the rapper is critical of the UFC star, who was beaten by Mayweather in the 10th round of their Las Vegas showdown. However, he did go on to praise the spirit showcased by the Irishman (warning: video contains explicit language):

“50 and 0 n—a.” said Snoop Dogg, per Jed Meshew of MMA Fighting. “The motherf–king champ, n—a. 50 and 0. F–k that motherf–king punkass McGregor, you b—h. F–k him. Motherf–king champ, n—a.”

The rapper also accused McGregor of arriving at a “gang fight with a butter knife.” However, he went on to add that the MMA competitor is a “bad motherf–ker” who has “got heart.”

“Good win tonight champ,” he rounded off. “Good fight McGregor, that was a great f–king fight, man. Now we celebrate.”

As noted by Meshew, despite these words of praise for the first-time boxer, Snoop went on to post a number of bulletins on his Instagram in which McGregor was the butt of the joke.

While Snoop seemed to be pretty pleased to see the Irishman lose this one, he has lent his voice to MMA coverage in the past. He is a co-commentator on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.

In the main, the assessment of McGregor’s performance against Mayweather was a positive one from those who tuned in for the contest. The latter eventually picked apart the boxing novice after a stirring effort early in the bout, taking his professional record to an outstanding 50 wins from 50 fights.

Tom Brady Downplays Floyd Mayweather Friendship, Says McGregor Fight Was Great

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady denied Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s claim the pair are “very, very close friends” in his weekly radio appearance on WEEI’s Kirk & Callahan.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady denied Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s claim the pair are “very, very close friends” in his weekly radio appearance on WEEI’s Kirk & Callahan.

“No, I met him a couple of times,” Brady said. “I think he’s a great fighter. That was a great fight the other night.”

Mayweather had told ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio last week that he and Brady were friends.

“That’s a close friend of mine. Tom Brady is a very, very close friend,” Mayweather said. “An unbelievable guy with unbelievable talent…he’s a great guy. Actually, Tom Brady texted me yesterday.

“We have a cool friendship. He texted me and asked me ‘How’s everything going?’ And I texted him back: ‘Everything is cool, how you doing? How’s the family?’ And he said, ‘Everything is going A-OK.'”

Brady reiterated the two had only met a “couple times” when pressed further. He did, however, compliment Mayweather as a “great fighter” and said he watched the boxer’s 10th-round TKO of Conor McGregor on Sunday—a day after attending a friend’s wedding.

This is the second time this year Brady’s alleged friendship with a controversial figure has made headlines. President Donald Trump has counted Brady as a friend for years, and the Patriots star even had a Making America Great Again hat in his locker in 2015.

Trump has become one of the most controversial presidents in United States history in his brief seven months in office, due in large part to his handling of societal issues. Brady has maintained he does not agree with all of Trump’s political viewpoints.

Mayweather has been convicted of domestic violence on multiple occasions and spent two months in jail as part of a plea deal in 2012.
