Yesterday, the two took part in the first of four pre-fight press conferences, with this one taking place in Los Angeles. As expected, the hyped-up event was thrilling, and the two talked ample amounts of trash.
One video showed them barking in each other’s faces, but we couldn’t tell what they were saying. Now, thanks to Dana White’s video blog, we have an idea of the words the two fighters exchanged. Go to the 7:59 mark of the below video to see the showdown.
The exchange is hilarious and fascinating, from McGregor promising to “bounce” Mayweather’s “head off the canvas” to Mayweather saying McGregor won’t make it out of the first round.
Thanks to Complex for transcribing the exchange.
Mayweather: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
McGregor: Look in my eye. I’m gonna bounce your head off the canvas.
Mayweather: Okay.
McGregor: I’ll bounce your head off the canvas.
Mayweather: Okay, okay.
McGregor: That’s what I do. One shot. One shot is all it takes, man. Anywhere on the dome. Anywhere on the dome!
Mayweather: Not me, not me, not me.
