The previous five-weight title holder confronted whirlwinds of early punches from UFC's most famous figure, who was making his presentation in proficient boxing at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena.
McGregor conveyed a fresh uppercut in cycle one and, however he edged near breaking the tenets with a few punches to the back of the head, he forced himself honorably while never looking as if he would thump out Mayweather.
The American, who left retirement for a potential $300m (£230m) pay day, executed a blueprint which jumped on McGregor's absence of molding for the late adjusts which demonstrate so key on huge battle evenings.
As the Irishman tired, Mayweather increased his fierceness and by cycle nine the 40-year-old started to stalk his rival, whose legs were debilitating under more effective shots.
Also, in the tenth, with McGregor again close to the ropes and offering pretty much nothing, the battle - which took after long stretches of hyper develop, angry words and disorder - was finished. He was not dumbfounded by a definitive blow, but rather with Mayweather tossing quickly, his objective was left excessively defenseless.
Ref Robert Byrd's stoppage may have arrived before the actual arranged time for a few, as McGregor's initial exertion prompted a conviction inside the field he could pull off the greatest surprise ever.
Be that as it may, the 29-year-old was shrinking and was down 89-81 89-82 87-83 on the ringside cards when the stoppage came.
His exertion and show ought to be praised, yet Mayweather's balance and strength stay steady into retirement.
Mayweather stated: "He was a great deal superior to anything I expected. Be that as it may, I was the better man. I ensured everyone this would not take care of business. Boxing's notoriety was hanging in the balance."
McGregor, who said he would come back to the UFC yet would not preclude boxing once more, stated: "I thought it was close and I thought it was a touch of an early stoppage. I was only somewhat exhausted."

Remember Mayweather's triumph over McGregor
Was the buildup advocated?
The individuals who watched this session can state they saw history, with Mayweather's triumph taking him past the late Rocky Marciano's ideal 49-battle record.
Furthermore, this may yet be the wealthiest battle regularly, outperforming the detailed $620m (£480m) earned by Mayweather's prevail upon Manny Pacquiao in 2015.
The nearness of A-rundown famous people, for example, Bruce Willis and Jennifer Lopez underlined the high-moving nature of a session inundated in turmoil.
Be that as it may, with just 14,623 individuals in the 20,000-situate field, there will be feedback of high ticket costs - and the air endured accordingly.
As US news systems set up studios on Vegas' strip in the development, banter over the authenticity of the battle ruled.
MMA visitors said boxing was dated, and were blamed for talking with an obliviousness towards the sweet science. One intellectual said Mayweather would look like Michelangelo against a man whose boxing style would be "paint by numbers".
Somewhere else, neighborhood air terminals received crisis measures to manage a deluge of hot shots, while sportsbooks on the city's acclaimed strip were propped for record stakes.
However, could the buildup be legitimized? Was Mayweather excessively old? Would McGregor's tenacious undermining of his opponent work?
No, no and no. Faultfinders of the challenge will probably point to the simplicity with which Mayweather raised the stakes as confirmation this was dependably a jumble.
He stays taking care of business when in the spotlight, conveying when booed, winning with breathing space.
The reality he had just battled 39 times when McGregor quit a pipes apprenticeship to concentrate on MMA underlined the bay in understanding.
It appeared, however 'The Notorious' has caught the creative energy of new fans and will be extensively wealthier - both monetarily, and in ring make - for going up against such a test.
He boxed, well now and again. Be that as it may, similar to Hall of Fame boxers who attempted before him, he didn't have enough to stun Mayweather.
How did the battle play out?
After the frantic develop, the talking ceased before the two men ventured into the ring - and McGregor scowled at his adversary with force before the ringer.
In cycle one, he handled a fresh left uppercut and later postured with his hands in the face of his good faith. He appeared to deliberately overstate his development on occasion, loaning substance to proposals from savants his MMA footwork would be a key piece of his weaponry.
In any case, a hardened ideal from Mayweather in the second drew shouts from the majority, and "Cash" grinned brazenly at the TV cameras when on his stool between rounds.
Is it safe to say that he was toying with his man? There were minutes it showed up so. He started to stroll forward additional in the fourth yet felt a strong left counter.
Serenades of "ole" gave support to the underdog, who maddened Mayweather with tenacious punching to the back of his head.
The American's reaction was a push in the chest after the ringer in cycle five as he turned out to be remarkably more resentful.
His punches started to look stacked, however it stayed close. McGregor's initial punch volume won adjusts, Mayweather's advance through the apparatuses, though moderate, shut the shortage by the seventh, when he shocked his enemy with a counter right.
The ninth round would take the boxing tenderfoot past the 25 minutes he confronts in a UFC session, and weariness ended up noticeably irrefutable. He influenced, now and again a sitting duck to be picked off as Mayweather landed, eminently with a slappy left hand.
And afterward came the tenth. McGregor shouted when the stoppage came, as though to suggest he had all the more left. He most likely did, however excepting him discovering power we had not yet observed, he was finished. Byrd presented the inescapable.
What's more, with that, Mayweather came back to retirement with his ideal record in judgment.
What next for McGregor? His soul and attraction is with the end goal that he will keep on breaking down hindrances.
He merits massive credit, yet Mayweather's remaining in boxing history stays unblemished.
