I’VE been here so many times. I know what it takes for a fight of this magnitude. Iโm thankful to everyone who has covered this event. Everyone can talk about different storylines, but it comes down to two fighters. Just me and the guy Iโm competing against.
I had a tremendous training camp. We had a lot of different guys who gave me different looks. To compete in a combat sport, you have to be a fighter at the end of the day. To be in this sport for 21 years, I had to take it extremely seriously, just like I did for this bout.
Everyone knows I can fight. I can give it and I can take. But to get to 49-0, itโs obvious that Iโm not receiving it, Iโm giving it a lot more often.
Conor McGregor is a hell of a fighter. Heโs a tough competitor. Itโs going to be blood sweat and tears Saturday night. Thatโs what we want to give people all around the world. Now it comes down to the two of us going out there and displaying our skills.
The best fighting the best. Heโs the best at what he does, Iโm the best at what I do. We can both do a lot of talking, but it comes down to the skills. Weโre going to compete and give you what you want to see.
After 21 years Iโve been hit with everything and Iโm still right here. One thing you must know about combat sports, if you give it, you must be able to take it. Last time I checked, no one is walking me down. Itโs all about my IQ and patience in the ring.
Weโre both real fighters. Weโre two huge names in combat sports. Heโs made a mark the last few years and Iโve made a mark for 21 years. Now itโs time to go do what we do best and fight.
I go out there and do what I do. Iโve been here before and fought many different fighters with different styles. There have been plenty of guys who talked a lot of trash, but when itโs all said and done, I came out victorious.
We prepare for this every day at the Mayweather Boxing Club. Weโre built for this stage. We have a lot of young fighters and guys with more experience going toe-to-toe every day. Weโre always talking trash to each other and staying in each otherโs ear.
This is great for the city of Las Vegas. Itโs all about giving back and Iโm giving back to my home of Las Vegas. This city has welcomed me with open arms from day one. Weโre doing great numbers. Itโs the biggest fight in history. Itโs not just a fight, itโs an event. Itโs all about breaking my own records.
Iโve said itโs not going the distance and you can mark my words. I know heโs going to come out and switch and go back and forth with stances. Itโs my job to execute my game plan and adjust if I have to.
