Mayweather and McGregor trade barbs for the cameras

Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor meet in a conference ahead of their scheduled fight in August.
Undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather and mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor traded barbs during a lively press conference in Los Angeles on Tuesday (July 11), delighting a rowdy crowd ahead of their Aug. 26 fight in Las Vegas.
As is expected in the bout, McGregor was the aggressor, wasting no time bringing up reports that Mayweather earlier this month asked the IRS for more time to pay his 2015 tax bill.
Mayweather was more subdued than the fiery 28-year-old, reminding reporters that even though he is a heavy favorite, he is 40 years old and that anything can happen in a fight.
He said he expected McGregor, who has never fought a professional boxing match, to try to pummel the defensive-minded Mayweather, who is putting his perfect 49-0 record on the line.
