"I'm 27 years of age and I'm just about half way through a $100 million contract. At 27 years of age, Floyd Mayweather was on Oscar De La Hoya's undercard, so compare that." - McGregor to ESPN.
'Mystic Mac' doubled down and stated that Mayweather needed him to make more money.
"He needs me. I don't need him. Who else can he fight? He fights someone else in the boxing realm and all of a sudden the pay goes from $100 million to $15 million." - 'The Notorious' to ESPN.
#1. Conor McGregor asks Mayweather why he brought a school bag on stage
The press tour provided many entertaining moments and Conor McGregor turned it up a notch during the stop in Toronto, Canada. He pulled no punches when talking about Mayweather and Showtime. He also made sure that his microphone wouldn't get cut off again, which allowed him to speak a lot longer.
'The Notorious' not only shared his thoughts on boxing pundits counting him out, but he also attacked 'Money's fighting style. He said the boxing great "tip-tap-toes to a decision." He saved his best for last as he concluded by asking Mayweather why he brought a school bag on stage.
"He's 40. You're 40-years of age. Dress you're f****** age! Carrying a school bag on stage. What are you doing with a school bag on stage? You can't even read." - 'The Notorious' to Mayweather at 'The Money Fight' Press Tour in Toronto, Canada.
The press event showed that 'Mystic Mac' was more than comfortable and could hold his own regardless of the sport. It was one of the rare occurrences in which 'Money' didn't really have a response and was outmatched in the verbal fight.
