Floyd Mayweather beat Conor McGregor in the tenth round of the highly anticipated Las Vegas fight last night (August 26), in what is likely to become the biggest pay-per-view fight ever.
Mayweather ensured his unbeaten streak remained unbeaten by beating McGregor via TKO in the tenth round of last night's Money Fight.
The victory means that Mayweather has now fought 50 fights unbeaten, extending his perfect record.
Despite also being able to watch the fight at Vue cinemas in the UK, the amount of people tuning into watch via pay-per-view around the world became so high that the server crashed, causing the fight to be delayed due to technical problems in the US.
"Due to high demand, we have reports of scattered outages from various cable and satellite provides and the online offering," UFC.TV said in a statement (via Variety). "We will delay the start of the main event slightly to allow for systems to get on track. We do not expect a lengthy delay."
Needless to say, eager viewers were not best pleased, as many had paid $100 to watch the fight.
What to Read Next
Mayweather's victory is also set to become the richest fight ever, as it's reported to make even more than the whopping $620 million that his fight with Manny Pacquiao earned in 2015 (via BBC).
And the celebrity fans were certainly happy with the result too:
Mayweather was reportedly paid $300 million to come out of retirement for the fight, which saw him up against Ultimate Fighting Champion lightweight Conor McGregor.
The fight was McGregor's debut in professional boxing, and was hyped enough that A-List celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Bruce Willis were among the live audience.
The fight itself took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
