To my mind it was a one sided fight 2 completely different fight disciplines, it's like entering a horse in the grand national and tying it's back legs together. It was purely about making money both for the fighters but mainly the promoters etc. If they had fought under MMA rules Mayweather would not have lasted the first 3 rounds.
I'd be amazed if he lasted more than one round at MMA.

Like I say. I think that they should have a rematch but in magregars ring
Why?
It was McGregor that wanted to try his luck, not Mayweather, so it's not his problem.
Same sort of thing with Tyson, he knew it wasn't his discipline, if that's the right word for him, so he just never even considered the MMA ring.
I remember boxer Trevor Berbick getting into a Bushido ring years ago which was an early form of MMA, and he had boxing gloves on and was padded up to his knees.
The Bushido champion kept kicking him in the same spot on the thigh until he got bored of asking the ref to tell him to stop it, then he jumped out the ring and the fans ripped up their seats and threw them at him.
One of the weirdest fights i've seen, it's probably on YouTube if you have a look.
