Conor McGregor told Floyd Mayweather a few words during their final face-off on Wednesday.
TMZ obtained audio of what McGregor, 29, told Mayweather, 41.
“Boom. Head off the canvas ... ‘And the new, king of boxing,’” McGregor told Mayweather.
Mayweather doesn’t budge and says back to his opponent, “You’re a comedian.”
Later, McGregor, as he’s posing for the camera, adds: “This is Bruce Lee [expletive].”
They also exchanged pleasantries and wished each other good luck.
McGregor approaches Mayweather and says, “Good luck.” Mayweather replies, “Good luck to you, sir.”
Speaking to CNN, McGregor said that he’s going to win—despite the odds being heavily in favor of his undefeated opponent.
“You know, I am a multiple-time, multiple-weight free fighting world champion,” McGregor told CNN. “I come from a ruthless game, a ruthless, ruthless business. Not only do I come from it, I own it.”
“People can say what they want ... but boxing will look amazing with its new king.”
Reports say that Mayweather could make as much as $400 million, and McGregor could make $127 million for the fight.
“I’m always thinking about fighting,” McGregor told CNN. “It’s just in me. I cannot stop thinking about it. Certain sequences, certain movements, certain ways to prepare. It’s a 24/7 mindset. That mindset has got me to where I am today.”
