Floyd Mayweather: I’m facing a warrior, have to execute game plan

The Mayweather vs. McGregor PPV event begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. P.T. with undefeated rising cruiserweight contender Andrew “The Beast” Tabiti taking on two-time world champion Steve “U.S.S.” Cunningham in a 10-round bout.

“I’ve been here before, and I know what it takes. It’s my same old routine, but I’m older now, so I have to let the body rest a lot more. With age comes wisdom. When I was a lot younger, I would train and train and never let myself recuperate. When I come back from resting, I come back rejuvenated and with a lot more spark.

“This isn’t just a fight; this is an event. We both owe the fans and everyone tuning in a lot of excitement. That’s what we’re there to give them.

“I know I’m going to face a warrior. It’s not for me to worry about what he does on a day-to-day basis. I have to worry about what I have to go out there and do. I have to execute the game plan. I’m not going to overlook him. That’s why I’m in here working extremely hard.

“When it’s all said and done, it comes down to the two competitors. My dad can give me a brilliant game plan, but he can’t get in there and fight for me. Same for Conor and his team. It doesn’t matter who the crowd’s rooting for. It’s two men in there.

“This training camp has been a lot different. I’ve spent some time in Miami and Los Angeles training. I’ve been pushed hard by the young guys in camp. I don’t need to post every workout video because I’ve been around this sport a long time, and everyone knows what I can do.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor is a 12-round super welterweight matchup that pits the legendary boxer Mayweather against the all-time M.M.A. great McGregor in the main event of an unprecedented four-fight pay-per-view boxing event.

Mayweather vs. McGregor takes place on Saturday, August 26 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. P.T. at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event is produced and distributed live by SHOWTIME PPV and promoted by Mayweather Promotions.
