It all came down to stamina and Conor couldn't hang.

I would pay $200 to watch Mayweather step into the Octagon.

As someone who doesn't watch boxing or MMA regularly, I saw it differently. I saw Mayweather feeling out Conor and Conor swinging as much as he could. I didn't think he landed anything worthwhile in that round. 

Though I was very drunk by midnight so my memory may be a little fuzzy. I agree Conor "won" the first 2-3 rounds, but I don't think he was running away with anything that early.

In the first few rounds Mcgregor hit him with a nice upper cut and a few straight lefts.  He also moved much better than people thought they were.

Sure Mayweather was feeling him out, but he wasn't giving the impression of dominance either.

At the end of the seventh round Mayweather's composure and breathing as he sat in the corner looked like someone who may have been casually folding his laundry  --  while McGregor looked as if he'd just run a half marathon while being chased by rabid wolves.

Yep, I told someone else and not sure if I said it here....boxing has a different kind of training.  I'm not sure why Mcgregor didn't hire a boxing coach to help with the training aspect.  He's never had great stamina anyway, and he bit at every attempt Floyd gave him to waste his energy.
