Your support makes all the difference.Conor McGregor failed in his bid to dislodge Floyd Mayweather from the top of world boxing after being stopped in the 10th round of their Las Vegas showdown.
The two-weight UFC champions took the fight to the American boxer, but Mayweather's superior class soon told as he delivered one of his best performances in years to pick apart the Irishman, before the bout was ended in the tenth round.
In a bout that is believed to have earned both fighters more than $100m, a number of famous faces were at ringside to watch the action unfold, with a seat at the T-Mobile Arena clearly the hottest ticket in town.
A number of past boxing world champions flocked to the T-Mobile Arena, with former heavyweight Mike Tyson leading a star-studded line-up of true greats. Lennox Lewis, Prince Naseem Hamed and many more filled the ringside seats, while platinum singer Demi Lovato was not only in attendance but sang the American national anthem.
There were many other sporting greats at ringside, not least NBA star LeBron James, while A-listers from Hollywood were among those lucky enough to be in attendance with Bruce Willis, Don Cheedle and Ari Graynor among them.
Rock star Ozzy Osbourne was another to be spotted, along with his wife, Sharon, and son Jack, while Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie were also spotted in the crowd, though both kept a much lower profile than those on the red carpet.
