That really was a spectacle at the weekend.
The two biggest fighters on the planet going toe to toe in a boxing match that really wasn't as bad as people expected to be.
Conor McGregor represented both himself and his country well on Saturday night in Las Vegas but ultimately was beaten by the better boxer, one of the best of all time in Floyd Mayweather.
The Crumlin fighter hosted one hell of an afterparty, a fitting way to conclude one of the biggest events of all time.
While at the afterparty in Las Vegas, McGregor was visited by a fellow Irish sporting hero in Robbie Keane and the pair got down to it.

It wouldn't be all that surprising to know that if you were Irish and well known you probably would have made the cut for the after party and one such man that did was Rob Lipsett.
Lipsett recently appeared on hit TV show Love Island and is a famous Youtube and Instagram star having amassed over 600,000 followers between the two social media sites.
The fitness star tweeted that he was at the weigh in on Friday.
