Conor McGregor and Robbie Keane had the classic nightclub heart-to-heart we all have

Up close and personal

The fight where nobody lost.

Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather are two of the most commercially sound men in sport, and they really were a match made in heaven in terms of creating the biggest ‘money’ fight of all time.

The fight was confirmed almost three months ago, and it is estimated that Floyd Mayweather has collected more than $300million for himself in that period.

McGregor, despite losing is estimated to make up to €100million for his three months work.

It was no wonder, then, that despite his loss, the Notorious was in flying form in his after-party in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

The Crumlin man was said to have been the life and soul of the party at Encore Beach Club, and the craic, it looked mighty.

He took a breather to have a chat with Ireland’s record international goalscorer, Robbie Keane, and the pair appeared to get on like a house on fire.

McGregor wasn’t centre stage, though, Coach John Kavanagh stole the show with his outrageous dance moves.

On top of the world.
