Conor McGregor wasn't the only one who missed out on a happy ending on Saturday. ****hub saw a sharp decline in active viewers during McGregor's money-making bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr., the site announced on Thursday.
Porhnhub, in conjunction with Men's Health, reported that its overall traffic in the U.S. dropped by 21% during the historic fight, and 12% in the entire world. In McGregor's homeland of Ireland the decline was not as significant as ****hub reported there was only an 11% drop-off in viewership.
Not surprisingly the ****ographic site reported that its biggest decline came at midnight, which was right around the time the main event of Mayweather vs. McGregor was underway.

Ireland saw an even more staggering increase in viewership, as traffic spiked by a shocking - and borderline worrisome - 174% shortly after McGregor's TKO loss.
After watching their country's bona fide mixed martial arts star get knocked out, it appears McGregor's brethren needed to quickly cheer themselves up in some manner.
