Check out the best of the Floyd Mayweather quotes to Conor McGregor from their first press conference in LA.
"Everyone knows I've never backed down from anybody. You line them up, and I knock them down like bowling pins. On August 26, I'm knocking Conor out. "
"I am guaranteeing you this. You are going out on your face or on your back. So which way do you want to go? "
"Twenty one is the number. They ask me why is that the number? Because that's how long I've been kicking ass. I don't care about a ring or an octagon. Put me in there and I'm going to kick ass."
"It takes two warriors to bring an event like this together. The two biggest forces in combat sports made this happen."
"This was something that the fans wanted to see. I spoke to my team and said that the Mayweather-McGregor fight can be the biggest fight in history. That's what we're here to turn into reality."
"McGregor is a professional, stand-up fighter. The only loss he took was when he was on the ground. He's a tough competitor and I'm taking him very seriously."
"Everyone knows I've been doing this for a long time. I've been here before. He's a tough guy though and a warrior. The best must fight the best. The fans wanted this fight, me and McGregor wanted the fight. It's going to be blood, sweat and tears on August 26."
"Training camp has been rough. I know deep in my heart that this is the last one. I'm taking care of my body and giving myself time off to allow my body to rejuvenate. "
"Conor really wants to win. Extremely badly. Other fighters it usually plays out two ways. Some guys play it safe and then some like Marcos Maidana go for the kill. I think he's the Maidana-type. He's a heavy-hitter so I have to be cautious. It's going to basically be a toe-to-toe battle."
