getting attention isn't always good especially when a great fighter with decades of experience and excellent record fought a fighter with one professional fight which is a lose. sure McGregor is a great fighter in MMA but in boxing, he is still an amateur I'd be more impressed if he started at the bottom and made his way to the top and fights great boxers and I'd be more than happy to watch his fights just like on MMA. the reason why I said it is derogatory is these kinds of fights just shows the sport has become more of an easy money grab for popular people and is lowering the standard of who can fight who.
The difference between a normal professional bout and a cross over fight with one of the biggest celebrity in McGregor is always an attractive fight for any boxer and the market value and the hype made the Floyd fight a spectacle and you cannot deny the fact that McGregor had some great moments in the fight and Mayweather had to take the fight deep and test his stamina which he lacked and then he was able to stop the fight.
After all, i will be happy if Manny Paquiao is able to make a hundred million if he fights Conor McGregor and he should retire rather than sticking around as he has done everything and proved the world and age is catching up.
