Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor: UFC star launches foul-mouthed tirade ahead of first face-to-face

In an expletive-laden interview McGregor told his rival he should have 'kept my name out of his f*****g mouth'

Conor McGregor has launched a foul-mouthed tirade on Floyd Mayweather as he landed in Los Angeles ahead of the pair’s first head-to-head before their much-anticipated boxing match in Las Vegas next month.

The two-weight UFC champion will make his boxing debut against the undefeated American on August 26 in a bout which is expected to break all previous pay-per-view records.

McGregor and Mayweather will come face-to-face as their promotional tour ahead of the fight kicks off in LA on Tuesday night – the first of four press conferences in four different cities around the world, including Toronto, New York and London.

The Irishman prepared for the first press-conference by going shopping on Rodeo Drive whilst being mobbed by fans and cameras as McGregor responded to claims that Mayweather only took the fight in order to get the money to settle an ongoing tax dispute with the IRS.

“I don't give a f**k what he did,” McGregor told TMZ.

“I don't give a f**k. I don't care what he done. He should've stayed retired. He's f***ed now. That's the God's honest truth. He should have paid his taxes and stayed retired. And kept my name out of his f*****g mouth.”
