\"\"The final press conference for the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight<\/a> took place on August 24 at the MGM Grand<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Fans were expecting them to put on another crazy show like they did during the four city world promotional tour but it wasn\u2019t to be as both fighters looked very subdued and did not take personal cracks at each other.<\/p>\n

There have been rumors in the media that Floyd Mayweather wasn\u2019t taking this fight too serious and was going easy on his training. Mayweather squashed these rumors by saying that he had dominated boxing for 21 years and had a 49-0 record<\/em> because he treated every fight with respect and his work and training ethic had not changed for the McGregor clash.<\/p>\n

Floyd said that he had faced fighters before who claimed to have a lot of power including Canelo, Pacquiao<\/a> and Mosley<\/strong> but none of them managed to KO him. He said that over the course of 21 years he had shown fans that he has a granite chin and was able to give it as well as take it. He called out McGregor and asked him if he would be able to take it as much as he could give it.<\/p>\n
