The head coach says relationship with owner Marinakis is ‘not so good’
Forever after, the record will show that Floyd “Money” Mayweather defeated Conor “The Notorious” McGregor by TKO in the 10th round of their money-spinning fight at the Las Vegas Arena on August 26 2017.

The idea that he emerged from this event with a shred of credibility – much less the effusive praise that has flowed from the keyboards of a parade of writers and pundits who really should know better – is absurd.
