Floyd Mayweather Once Revealed 3 Things He Did to Knockout 12 Year Younger UFC Double Champion Conor McGregor

It’s been 5 years since the world witnessed the clash between legends of two combat sports. Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather was a historic boxing professional match. It remains the second-highest-grossing boxing match with massive PPV sales of 4,300,000 and incredible revenue of $396 million.

Mayweather defeated the UFC double champion, McGregor, via technical knockout (TKO) in the 10th round.

Mayweather in an interview with Revolt recounted his training for McGregor’s fight, “Push-ups and sit-ups, boxed a few times you can bag a few times it’s actually training camp was in different places I would do training camp in Vegas a few days like sometimes I wouldn’t go to the gym for a week.”

Amazed by ‘Pretty boy’s casual approach, DJ EFN asked, “What is it because he wasn’t taking it that serious?”

Mayweather with a professional boxing undefeated record of 50 wins mentions how easygoing his approach was towards the fight. He iterated, “Just won’t take it serious but like I said before I wanted to ask some fun in a fight and I want to entertain the people so you know just leave that style that I had just it was entertaining so the people enjoyed it, so you have to get people to show so I gave people to show.”

However, the more experienced Mayweather stuck to his game plan, “If I want to go out, there a fu**in him up and blaze him right out the gate. I could’ve done that right so but you know my thing is this if I were to did that, then it would be probably our part two.”
