Mayweather, who always liked to 'show off' the millionaire salaries he received during his career, appeared with a bag full of money. After provoking the UFC lightweight champion, citing the Irishman's defeats in his career, the boxer opened his backpack and showered his rival with dollar bills, who remained seated.

“I smell not only victory, but f***. Money? It's not all about money, it will be an easy job. Point at the b****, point at the coward. This bitch has already given up once, twice, but she's going to give up three times??? DJ, play some music for this stripper”, said Floyd, who heard Conor respond by mocking the 'lying notes'.

However, McGregor really drew attention when he commented on accusations of having made alleged racist comments in the first two press conferences of the tour. Wearing printed pants and no shirt, just with a huge white fur coat, The Notorious responded to the criticism and stated that he has no prejudice against black people.

“A lot of people in the press seem to be saying that I’m against black people. This is ridiculous. Don't they know I'm half black? I'm half black from the belly button down. And here's a gift for my black American fans. They call it a polar bear”, declared the European.

At the time of the traditional face-off, Mayweather was shorter than McGregor and appeared at the same height as the Irishman, enough to be provoked by his opponent again. “Take off your high heels now! Look at those sneakers, you idiot!” shouted McGregor, separated by security guards.

When they came face to face, the two began to insult each other again with dozens of swear words, but at no point did they touch each other.
