I'm finished says Mayweather after McGregor rout
Las Vegas : Floyd Mayweather insisted he would head into a permanent retirement after sealing his place in boxing history with a 50th straight win against Conor McGregor on Saturday.
The 40-year-old American boxer outclassed McGregor over 10 absorbing rounds at the T-Mobile Arena to defeat Irish mixed martial arts by technical knockout.
The win sees Mayweather, who had come out of a two-year retirement to face McGregor, surpass heavyweight legend Rocky Marciano with a perfect record of 50-0.
Afterward former welterweight king Mayweather insisted he would never be seen in a ring again.
"This was my last fight tonight. For sure," Mayweather said, praising his beaten opponent.
"Tonight was my last fight. Tonight I chose the right dance partner to dance with.
"Conor you are a hell of a champion."
Mayweather also rejected suggestions that his 50th victory -- against an opponent who had never boxed professionally before -- would be destined to have an asterisk against it.
"A win is a win, no matter how you get it," Mayweather said. "Rocky Marciano is a legend and I look forward to going into the Hall of Fame one day."
