It would appear that The New York Times recently posted an erroneous description of Saturday night’s Mayweather vs. McGregor boxing main event to Twitter. Longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan does not appear happy about the situation in the slightest.
In the tweet, which has since been taken down, The New York Times described Conor McGregor’s face as “completely bloodied” when the referee called a stop to the contest. In response, Joe Rogan tweeted “I agree with the stoppage of the fight but this description is not true and very disappointing in a newspaper I read regularly.”
Joe continued things on facebook:
Seriously, @nytimes? What the fuck is this description about?
As confusing as the world is today, and with a president that’s always crying out “fake news” this just fuels the fire and undermines all the legitimate journalism you guys do.
This is a completely inaccurate description of Conor and the end of the fight.
I almost feel compelled to write “SAD!”
After being heavily gassed in the 10th round, Conor McGregor suffered a TKO defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
I agree with the stoppage of the fight but this description is not true and very disappointing in a newspaper I read regularly. https://t.co/Z7XczUpaQQ
