McGregor: Mayweather's Strip Club Looks Like a Crack Den!

UFC superstar Conor McGregor is not exactly a fan of Floyd Mayweather's new strip club, which the former pound-for-pound king opened up in Las Vegas.

Mayweather has been plugging the strip club for most of the promotion for the upcoming boxing match with McGregor.

Mayweather and McGregor will collide on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena, in the main event of a Showtime Pay-Per-View card.

McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) believes Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs) has made a very poor financial decision by opening up a strip club. He feels the boxer's investment is a losing venture.

“That strip club is bleeding money from him, and he knows it, and he’s talking about franchising it,” McGregor said to USA Today. “The thing looks like a crack den, and that’s no disrespect to the people that are in there. It’s a horrendous decision.”

Mayweather opened up Girl Collection, a 6,000 square-foot topless club, back in May. The boxer is so confident of gaining a victory over McGregor, that he's spending every single night of the week hanging out at the club.

“I don’t care about that,” McGregor said. “Whatever. He’s so cool, isn’t he? At the strip club a couple days before the fight. Like, who gives a bollocks, mate. I’d say the place stinks. That’s being straight. Looking at it on ‘All Access,’ I’d say the place stinks.”

McGregor is a tremendous underdog, due to his lack of pro boxing experience. The contest with Mayweather will be his professional debut in a boxing ring. The contest takes place at the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds, with 8-ounce gloves being used.

Mayweather, 40 years old, is coming back to the ring after spending the last two years in retirement. He walked away from boxing back in September 2015 after dominating Andre Berto. He promises to retire for good, win or lose, against McGregor this weekend.

This fool said a crack den LOL

Interesting enough it looks like Paulie was using the shoulder roll during those 12 rounds of sparring.(he normally fights that way anyway) nonetheless I think this is just Floyd fucking with McGregor head.

Espinoza Not Confident Mayweather-McGregor Sets PPV Record

Showtime Sports head Stephen Espinoza is not confident that Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor will break the pay-per-view buy record.

The current record holder is Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao - which generated 4.6 million buys back in 2015. The contest had between six and seven years of hype before the boxers stepped in the ring to face each other.

Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs) will face McGregor on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Their contest had less than two years of hype, but worldwide media attention is surpassed what Mayweather-Pacquiao was receiving two years ago.

The pay-per-view buyrate figure is going to be high, but how high is the question.

While Espinoza says the possibility is there, the likelihood of breaking the pay-per-view record is up in the air.

“I am definitely on the fence. I do not believe it will, just because I never believe that it’s going to be, I’m just conservative by nature. Do we have the potential? Absolutely,” Espinoza said to MMA Fighting.

Since the fight between undefeated boxer Mayweather and mixed martial arts champion McGregor was announced in June, the two men took part in a profanity laced world tour to hype a bout that has been met with both scepticism and excitement.

The final press conference ahead of Saturday's fight, however, was closer to a love-in than a battle field with Mayweather, in particular, complimenting the man who has questioned everything from his manhood to his fashion sense.

"Conor McGregor had a hell of a career, he's still got a hell of a career," said Mayweather. "He's a hell of a fighter, he's a stand up guy, a tough competitor.

"It's not going to be an easy fight. There will be blood sweat and tears Saturday."

McGregor was far less effusive in his compliments but after months of mercilessly attacking Mayweather said he welcomed the pause in hostilities.

"There's been a lot of crazy press conferences, this is a lot more subdued, a lot more business like the way I like it ... sometimes," said McGregor.

The restrained tone of Wednesday's media conference underscored the high stakes of what is expected to be the richest fight in boxing with McGregor in line for $100 million payday and Mayweather as much as $200 million.

While boxing purists and pundits have denounced the fight as nothing more than a laughable cash grab it has nonetheless captured the fascination of fans.
