The weigh-in ceremony for Mayweather vs McGregor was completed today with Mayweather coming in at 149.5 lbs while Conor McGregor marked 153 lbs.
In an MGM Grand full of McGregor fans, the Irish MMA star came in looking as he usually does, cocky and confident, he pumped his chest after he made weight, screamed a few things on Mayweather’s face and left the stage saying, Floyd was in the worse shape he’d ever seen him. When he was asked if he was coming in a lot bigger on fight night he responded: “yes, probably 170 lbs”.
Mayweather is Mayweather, he looked calmed and happy as he made his way to the stage, he laughed at McGregor’s outbursts and walked away to take interviews. *Watch the video at the end of the article*.
During the final press conference earlier this week both fighters were poised and all business, the WBC revealed the Money Belt made of alligator leather and containing 3,360 diamonds, 600 sapphires, 160 emeralds and approximately 3.3 pounds of 24-karat gold.
The co-main event features Costa Rican Francisco Fonseca going up against IBF World Super Featherweight Champion (now former) Gevonta Davis; the Costa Rican weighed-in right on the limit at 130 lbs while Davis came in two pounds over at 132 lbs. This means that Davis is now stripped from his title will have to pay a fine and should he win tomorrow he will not be keeping his belt; if Fonseca takes the win he will be the new IBF champion.
