I was watching this earlier and I totally forgot about it but he speaks on how Floyd, after the Manny fight, had an interview with a row of reporters and pointed out reporters who, for years, always said Pacquiao would beat him.
He said it the first day of the media press conferences, The only thing God made perfect was my boxing record.

Sor Rungvisai knows from experience the challenge awaiting new boxer McGregor against Mayweather
As Conor McGregor attempts to convert from a mixed martial arts champion to a boxer capable of defeating the unbeaten former five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., one man in Thailand offers some unsolicited perspective.
“It’s going to be difficult for McGregor. It’s two different sports, and it takes time to adjust,” Srisaket Sor Rungvisai told the Los Angeles Times through an interpreter recently in a telephone call from his training camp.
Sor Rungvisai, 30, claimed a significant boxing upset of his own this year by knocking down then-unbeaten four-division world-champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez in the first round of their March 18 World Boxing Council super-flyweight title bout at Madison Square Garden and proceeding to a victory by decision.
That completed a dedicated transformation for Sor Rungvisai, whose rematch with Gonzalez is the Sept. 9 main event of an HBO-televised super-flyweight tripleheader at StubHub Center.
From the age of 13 to 16, Sor Rungvisai was a Muay Thai fighter, competing against foes in a stand-up style similar to the form McGregor has thrived in with the UFC, including the use of kicks, elbows and knees permitted in addition to boxing.
Muay Thai fights are routinely staged throughout Southern California, but the pay is a fraction of what UFC fighters and pro boxers earn, and that’s why Sor Rungvisai was prodded by his girlfriend and her family to scrap the native fighting style for an opportunity at better pay in Japan.
“The adjustment from Muay Thai to boxing was hard,” Sor Rungvisai said. “And McGregor has to adjust to the point that he has to match Floyd Mayweather’s boxing skill.”
What are the most difficult aspects of the transition?
“Many things,” Sor Rungvisai said. “It’s totally different. In Muay Thai, you can use kicks and elbows. When I started to fight in boxing, everything was different, including how you throw punches and how I stood.
“In my first [boxing] fight, I had to constantly tell myself not to kick the guy. It took many years to get that thought out of my mind fully … around two full years to get used to boxing, then a few more years to become a world-class boxer.”
McGregor, who became the UFC’s first simultaneous two-division champion when he repeatedly knocked down then-lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez en route to a second-round technical knockout victory in November, took off extra time awaiting the birth of his first child in May before the Mayweather deal was finalized and his training sharpened.
McGregor meets Mayweather (49-0) Aug. 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in a $100 Showtime pay-per-view bout in which few other than MMA die-hards and conspiracy theorists are giving him a real chance to win.
“It’s going to be very difficult, and I believe McGregor will have to control himself very hard not to use the kicks or other moves,” Sor Rungvisai said. “When you get in the ring, you have the muscle memory to do what you’re used to.”
Any slip like that could draw a disqualification, and Mayweather’s team has also mentioned legal action if McGregor, 29, inflicts any injury on the boxing champion by delivering any banned punishment reserved for the UFC octagon.
Although McGregor is believed guaranteed to pocket somewhere around $100 million for the fight, pride is an incentive for the confident Irishman who has vowed to finish Mayweather “inside four rounds.”
Sor Rungvisai felt that motivation after starting 1-3-1 as a pro boxer, with other record-keeping listing him at 9-6-1, before he fought a pivotal 2010 bout in Thailand.
“I decided I didn’t want to get hurt by boxing anymore and said to myself that if I lost that one more time, I’d not do it again,” he said. “I got motivated. I aligned with my current team and was trained properly. And from that date, I won 17 straight fights and won the WBC belt for the first time in 2013.”
He lost that belt a year later to Sept. 9 undercard fighter Carlos Cuadras of Mexico, but has reeled off 16 consecutive victories since and is confident about his chances in the Gonzalez rematch.
“I definitely think I won [the first fight]. I threw a lot of punches, and when you look at it by round, I won,” Sor Rungvisai said.
“I’ll make it a great fight. I’m focused on making the fans happy in watching me fight, particularly the fans from Thailand. I want to make them proud. I want to show the world a boxer from Thailand can be one of the best in the world on a very great stage like the one in the U.S.”
In his own way, he’s already shown McGregor anything in boxing is possible.

So he doesn't work out Tomm?
Is Tomm the weigh in?
How Connor gonna lose that much weight in 24 hours ??

The only reason Conor has that relationship is because of his current status. He's the biggest star they've ever had. You said that the UFC doesn't promote other champions (what you really meant was black champions, but I digress) and I showed you that you're wrong with several examples. It's all good, though.

This fights gonna be a joke
Also the size differential is a bit overblown
Mayweathers 5'7 1/2 Mcgregors 5'9. People act like Mcgregor has a half a foot and 50 pounds on him. He's not that much bigger

Again, McGregor brings in like 70% of UFC's revenue by himself. He wasn't getting any of this shyt before the Aldo fight - stop it. There is a demand for McGregor content, therefore they would be foolish not to capitalize on it. Ronda Rousey also got a shytload of promotion because she was extremely popular to begin with. BTW, the UFC training center wasn't built for Conor - he just trains there to cross-promote the brand.
Stop it.Conor going to KO Floyd in three rounds. Saturday its going dowwnnn babe.
