Earlier today (Wed. August 23, 2017) the final press conference before Floyd Mayweather and UFC lightweight champ Conor McGregor’s boxing bout took place before they go to head Saturday night.

“The Notorious One” started things off by boasting about his prediction to finish Mayweather within two rounds due to the recent change in glove size. He also doubled down on his vow to push the action forward and claimed he is prepared to go all 12 rounds if need be. Mayweather then took the podium in a very professional matter and seemed to subtly warn McGregor to be prepared to take some damage, as well as give some out:

“The be in the sport 21 years, I had to take it extremely serious,” Mayweather said. “For you guys to think that Saturday I’m not taking this serious – I’m taking this extremely serious, but the thing is this: When it’s all said and done I know one thing that I can do, I can fight. I can give it, and I can take it. But for me to be 49-0, it’s obvious I’m not receiving it, I’m giving it.”

When asked to clarify his comments after the press conference, Mayweather stated that he is also coming to fight and if McGregor wants to come out and engage in a brawl, he better be prepared to absorb some damage as well:

“I’m just saying a lot of times you got guys talking about,” Mayweather said. “What they’re gonna do, what they’re gonna give, how they’re gonna be aggressive. But you also have to realize, there’s two sides to everything. So the same way you talking about giving it, hopefully you can be able to take it also. So that’s what I was talking about.”

McGregor promises to ‘break this old man’ at final press conference

It was a comparatively subdued press conference we witnessed today out of Las Vegas for the final Mayweather vs. McGregor promotional push. Gone were the roaring crowds of fans cheering and booing those on the podium that we saw on the World Tour. Instead, we got a largely silent group of media members and perhaps five minutes of talk from Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.

Oh, and ‘The Money Belt.’ We can’t forget that.

As for McGregor, he reiterated several points we’ve already heard thus far, mainly concentrating on how his cardio is definitely going to hold up on August 26th.

“We are prepared for 12 three minute rounds of non stop pace,” Conor said. “And I will go forward and I will put the pressure on him and break this old man, trust me on that. We are more than ready. However, 8oz gloves, he made a big big error in my opinion. I don’t see him lasting two rounds. I feel I’ll have the decision to end it inside one.

“He messed up with those 8oz gloves. It was amusing all that, but I’m very happy with that 8, I’m used to fighting with 4, we’re gonna fight in 8. Keep your hands up, keep your hands down, I don’t care. I’m going to break through whatever’s in front of me.”

“I’m gonna f**k this boy up, make no mistake,” he continued. “And when it’s all said and done, you know what? I’m gonna feel a little bit sad. Because you all should have kept your mouths shut. You should have left me over in that other game that I’m from, that more ruthless game where we bounce heads off the canvas and drill them into the floor. You should have left me where I was because this man is not on my level.”

“He’s not even a quarter of the man I am. So we’re gonna see and you are all gonna eat your words in there.”

Big words from start to finish. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say after the fight.
