Hey guys, it is Audrey at the Staples Center in downtown LA.

What Mayweather

After so much hype, Floyd Money Mayweather and the notorious Conor McGregor will be facing each other in the ring. But first, a little trash talk. He's an obnoxious. He can't even afford to see what I mean. Conor McGregor is going to deliver. He's going to come out and fight hard. For me, he's upset. I think I pushed his buttons today. There's no way about it. He has a little legs, his little cough, his little head. I'm going to knock him out in six or four rounds, mark my words. Conor McGregor is undefeated standing up. He only lost when he was down on the ground in the Octagon. But far as standing up, he knocks everybody out. I don't fear him. I don't fear this limited set of fighting. This is a this is a limited set of rules. He has to take this fight. He's he's in dire financial dire financial situation. So, But I'm still trying to learn this tax game as well. I mean, I'm only new to this money. I'm only new money, so it doesn't sound like a good position to be in. He was whipping out the check and I was, what are you That's over now. And everyone sees it's over.

What was it like looking into his eyes, sharing that stage with him for the first time?

What Mayweather

You know, when you ask me a question like that, looking at somebody's eyes, that's like a female, you know, when you say like that. But he's a warrior. He's a competitor, and I'm pretty sure he's going to come out there and be at his best. I'm just kind of floundering around, having a bit of fun, enjoying myself. And I'm going to kill this man August 26th. And then I'm going to roll in and take over. Then I'll deal I'll you know what I mean? So, it's just it's a different different environment now. But I'm enjoying it.

Young Hollywood

Conor, let's fast forward. Night before, what are you doing? Where is your head at? Where are you planning to fight?

What Mayweather

Yeah. Yeah. Just calm. Compose, ready to go. The work's been done at that moment, so the weight's been made. So, just enjoy and feel down and relaxing. I just train and do my day-to-day business. You know, I run my gentleman's club. I check on my, you know, my commercial real estate. And I just work out and rest.

Young Hollywood

And your number one tip for the Conor McGregor school of trash talk. We saw some prime examples up there today.

What Mayweather

I think, you know, I mean, he took he took a lot of Floyd Mayweather. He took a lot from my book. But I'm the best at it. So, I just let him know I I still can do it if I have to. Just don't give a ball. Just roll in and don't care. He's a threat. The reason why he's taller, he has a longer reach, and he's younger. And youth is on his side.

Young Hollywood

Conor keeps saying that he's stepping into, you know, your ring, he's stepping into your court, really. Would you ever get into the Octagon?

What Mayweather

Uh, this will be my last fight. This will be my last fight. I'm a I'm too old for this. I can't do it anymore. I look at every fight as just a fight. But this fight, number 50 and number 48 is very important. Hopefully, number 50 can be the record-breaking. Can break number 48. And then I have 50. I have 48 on this side and 50 on this side.
