Bookmakers are already pricing up a rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, after the American stopped the Irishman in their super clash in Las Vegas.
After starting brightly, MMA superstar McGregor was given a boxing lesson by Mayweather who stopped him in round ten.
Mayweather, who registered a record breaking 50th win of his career, insisted afterwards this was his last fight.
“I chose the right dance partner for my last dance … this was my final fight,” said the American.
McGregor himself was disappointed that he was stopped.
“I thought it was close, I get a little floppy when I get tired. He was a lot more composed. You’ve got to give it to him, I don’t know if I will box again,” said McGregor.

Ladbrokes make it 3/1 that Mayweather and McGregor step in the ring again within the next 12 months.
‘Money’ is 1/10 for a second victory against the Irishman, while ‘Notorious’ is out at 11/2.
Meanwhile, 25/1 says the pair swap the boxing ring for the Octagon at any stage in the next 12 months, with McGregor 1/50 to win and Mayweather 12/1 to cause a UFC upset.
And at 1/2, the bookies reckon a UFC Rematch would have more PPV buys than their first fight.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “It was the result we expected but McGregor certainly put up a fight in his boxing debut, and we reckon there’s every chance we could be seeing this pair in a ring again very soon.”
