Mayweather went on to talk about his financial success as a fighter over his opponent.

“He look good for a seven-figure fighter,” Mayweather said. “He look good for an eight-figure fighter but motherf*cker I’m a nine-figure fighter. And y’all know what? This b*tch made $3 million his last fight! Well, we know that’s training camp money for me.”

Mayweather went on to bring up his own age and Conor’s last loss to Nate Diaz, which happened in 2016.

“And guess what, I’m a old man,” Mayweather said. “I’m a old man. I’m not even the same man I was 20 years ago. I’m not the same fighter I was 10 years ago. I’m not the same fighter I was five years ago. I’m not the same fighter I was two years ago. But, I got enough to beat you. And, we know Mr. tapout like to quit and you will wave that white flag. And I’m guaranteeing you this. You’re going out on your face or you’re going out on your back. Now which way you want to go?”

Even after the shots thrown back and forth between the two, “Money” still took the time to thank everyone involved including the MGM Grand, Showtime, MMA fans, Dana White and even Conor McGregor and his team.

“It takes two warriors to bring an event like this together,” said Mayweather. “And, the two biggest names in combat sports did this. So, I didn’t do this by myself. This man played a major part in this fight but on August 26, that’s your ass. That’s your ass.”
