Mayweather confirmed to Paulie that he purposely avoided cutting off the ring on Mcgregor in order to prolong the fight and allow Mcgregor to last into the later rounds. Whether this was for the purposes of having the opportunity to relish in administering punishment on Mcgregor, or for the purposes of creating more entertainment for the viewing public, is up for debate.
Malignaggi quotes Floyd: "I wanted him to last, I wanted him to take as much punishment as he could take because I knew he couldn't take it. If I cut off the ring, he's gonna get stopped sooner. I don't want to stop him sooner, I want him to take as much as he can."
