Recently, and not surprisingly Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been stoking the drama fire. Apparently, he is worried that Conor McGregor won’t make the 154 pound limit for their fight this Saturday, August 26th. Check out what he said to FightHype.

 Conor McGregor is extremely heavy right now. I think he is 164, so he still has 10 pounds to go. Y’all get that extra money if he can’t make the weight, get those extra millions ready, Dana. Or the UFC, get them extra millions ready. Somebody gotta’ pay a fine, but he gotta’ get that weight down. A true champion is, like I said before, I true champion is disciplined and very responsible, but you know, we’ll see. I don’t think he’s gonna’ make the weight. Even if he do make the weight, that’s even better, but if he don’t make the weight, we still gonna fight. But it’s gonna’ be a be a heavy fine. Give me that money.

So McGregor responded via MMAJunkie.com.

He needs to shut his mouth. It is a fool of a thing. Let him keep praying, praying for weight, for fatigue, praying for me to take a backward step. All he is doing is praying, but he is praying to the new god of boxing.

The bottom line is that ten pounds isn’t a challenge for elite fighters to cut. It is doubtful that Conor McGregor will miss weight for the biggest fight in his career.
