Conor how are you good so how are you it's
good to see you again yes so this is a this is a
treat here we are sitting on a boxing ring in
front of your logo my friend I'm happy you
brought that of your logo that's I mean every
day I get into that ring and I stare at it I'm like
if some logo isn't it the big lions head with
crown and McGregor Sports &
Entertainment next to UFC it's I'm it's been
some journey it's been absolutely amazing join
me I'm very proud of myself I'm very proud of
everyone that's been with me ever I the distance
we've come in such a short space of time to
such hard work so I'm very happy it's involved
because a little over two years ago prior to UFC
189 you first started talking about McGregor
sports and entertainment and that sounded
crazy yeah yeah when I cannot actually said to
you I will be partners yes planners and
Association yes and then and many times if I
said I'm going to do something then I go and do
it right it wouldn't be the first time it certainly
won't be the last so it's it's a dream come true
for me and an honor to be able to to reach his
level do you remember the first time that the
thought of fighting for Mayweather crossed your
mind it's been on it's been on my radar for a
long long time and as a young man coming up
in the game in the sport of MMA I was listening
to him in similar weight class similar weight
category speaking ill of the sport speaking ill of
the dicipline and as a young kid I'm looking at
him in such a high level saying saying these
things about the sport that I'm dedicating my
entire life they were thinking I'll see you for that
one day obviously it's kind of just it feels from
there and then eventually he was on that league
rumors about a fight and things like that when
I become the face of the open Fighting
Championship and one might want the second
world title and then that was it all systems go
down we made the site and it happens relatively
quick so I'm very happy with are you surprised
at how quickly took when we spoke in January
you predicted end of this yeah December
January yeah happening in August yeah that's
mean everyone involved came together it was
great business you know myself o paradigm
sports match with my team Khem together with
the Oklahoma chairmanship with Dana Boyd
Lorenzo Fertitta was instrumental in it WME IMG
guys you now we all came together and
everone just kind of understood what was what
what we could achieve here you know we have
always done great business and we just kept the
train rolling and then it was Dana was
instrumental and gone on to the other side of
with Showtime and that side and he he was an
animal of this live for this you know I mean so
like yields here so everyone involved and then
their side was great as well they it was just such
there's so many good business people involved
in it and I just that's what happens when there's
so many good business would be involved in
business you get damn good business
applications and quick and it happened and
everyone involved is extremely happy is there
a part of you that wishes you're doing it alone
no there's not I am actually very proud to be
partners at the Ultimate Fighting Championship
we partners at this because we've done such
great business again I want to continuous and
we will continue this so I am definitely not how
could I ever do it without them you know this
we are a team that's this is my team we are
team then we are partners so I'm very happy
and very proud I'm very honoured 3 to be
aligned with him well at least at this stage at this
level I get the impression that Floyd when he
talks about you work for Dana and he made this
happen did he trying to get under your skin
yeah of course it's something he's trying to
implement in his in his variable wolf warfare but
he's in the same situation with all Heyman and I
Heyman keeps himself passed away so no one
even know what I him and even looks like
almost so but whatever it is what it is we are
partners and he is partners with his people and
whatever at 28 years of age he was on the
undercard of an Oscar De La Hoya show so
there's no comparison with his career my career
from an age nine points oh yeah he can say
what he wants as you look at the buildup we're
almost at the finish line are you happy with the
buzz leading up to this fight are you happy
with everything that's transpired are you happy
I've done a hepp of a job once again right
because urea has been me and it's been on me
and the fight on August 26th will be all meals so
a little my hat mr.Sutter hey Mimi realized that
he was watching yeah he's watching daddy at
work I want to bring him around they just kind
of show me seems to eat seems to come alive
when they're I don't know when people are
around us we were walking through the wind
and we were doing some shopping was this
Brady we went shopping and then crowds that
form like they always do and then when he saw
the crowds he just got don't know it just he
enjoys it so I want to bring him around and so
we can all look back on these moms you know
these are historic moment I'm like to share them
with my son as you get older you have that new
father glow when you talk about being in awe of
him it's somrthing that every father experience
the first time that they bring their son or
daughter into the world but I recall not that long
ago you talking about jose Aldo and saying he
had mid yeah those are distractions I don't have
distraction what has it been like preparing for
the biggest head of your life as a plumber yeah
that's an interesting one because you know I
didn't understant what way it would actually
make me but exchange made me more focused
and laser focused everything is more srtuctured
I I go when I train and I work as hard as I
possibly can at that moment and then I go home
and I rest and I spend time with my family and
there's you know even my coaching the coaches
that I would me in the pain that with me inspires
everyone is their own little area alive my area
when my family and then we we come we work
hard with our separate ways when we come
back you now I mean and it's moving perfectly
we've had we've had a great camp this time I've
got to spend so much so much time with my son
that's been not not being drained and
whatsoever that was kind of worried in my head
maybe I will need to kind of just go away for a
couple weeks and just be alone but it's been
seamless and everyone involved it thank for
that my whole team has been so
accommodating until helpful I am an MD and
manda babe is just it's just it's just been a great
camp that's all I could say it has been
phenomenal to become a father before arguably
the greatest sporting event of our lifetime is
something like you can now tell you r son that
he was a part of this have you thought about
that of course his entry into the world I look
foaward to the day when I can show them show
hem this you know to me and show me what in
my career the crazy things that I've done in my
life the crazy journey I've been on and then
mostly shown what hard work can achieve and
showing that if you work hard you can achieve
great things like you know because he's come
into a life of financial freedom right I mean it is
financial freedom is security so I don't want him
to come in in a privilege every prick you know
have a privilege mindset so I want to implement
what it what it took to get this life and really
instill hard work and focus and dedication into
his mindset so he goes and and achieves his
own greatness so that's that's something that
is in my thoughts always correct me if I'm wrong
you've a boat and it's entitled 188 yeah I got
that I got the boat at the 188 was what I used to
collect on the social welfare so I call it the 188
that's brilliant name and it reminds me of what
you're talking here because you don't want to
forget that whenever you never forget where
you come from ever always pay homage to it
right always play how much do it so am never
stare because then you end up there you in the
back there but just pay respect and pay be
grateful for where you came from always so the
boat is called the 188 I got it it was hot out one
day in Ireland we don't have good weather
and and so about two brand-new jet skie and a
boat and a car out of like a pickup truck to take
the jet skis to the place all in the one day and
then the next day it was pissing rain and I didn't
we didn't and that was in the boat was over but
I've kind of had me fun with it had me fun with it
I believe your dad and then my father that was
one of the main reasons to be honest he is loves
boats so it was really a gift for him but I just
want to my on that from when it's just for a day
I feel and then pass it on to him so he's been
living on it right now at the moment be amazing
and then maybe after this fight my friend is
getting married in IBD I'm again I'm chartering
a hundred foot yacht we're going to chatter 100
foot yacht and go to I eat it and celebrate and
have fun so that's that's max for me so he can
have the 188 then I'll have the mental block the
amazing thing about the 188 is you are
collecting a checkk less than five years ago yeah
usually when you talk to someone about that
who's in your position it was ten years ago are
you I mean you're enjoying great riches and
success now but can you put yourself in the
mindset of a guy who's waiting in line with other
car always I'm remember what that guy always
are you daydreaming of this was that even pasta
was daydreaming but of course I can go back
and think they're you and that's I lived in my
inner man I always be there you know I show
up on work every single day like I'm not in the
position on me like I'm not me so that's the
mark that I haven't it's it's woman do you
believe that that's why you have the fanbase
that you have because you were able to come
out I believe in a time of sort of recession in
Ireland and you gave the people of Ireland hope
and let them know that you can break through
you can be successful you can't achieve the
wildest dream do you believe that's why they
have that connection to you I believe I believe
the strong part in it I mean it's give if it gives
inspiration to young kids and your people are
anyone any walk of life to go and achieve things
that are deemed unthinkable and impossible
that's such a great thing that I'm so pround of
so and I'm just grateful that I have the support
of my nation and people around the world and
there's not a day goes by that I don't take it for
granted you inspire great creativity from your
fan base this week we had a kid ukelele singing
about your journey and tying it all together with
every catchphrase every line everything it will
you see this yeah and are you inspired by the I
thought it was one hell of a song this one is a
crate as a very catchy song we actually reach
out to the guy Wow I had my people reach out
to the guy and we are booking him a flight him
plus one I'm going to bring him over to the fight
and get him tickets and put him up in a hotel
and then I meet him maybe after the fight but
Wow it was it's one hell of a song so I'm gonna
play for you I will probably have him play I don't
know maybe everybody will be I'm gonna bring
him in you know just as a thank you for for the
support and I mean what a song is it's the
journey in music farm so we myself and my
team we've enjoyed it very much and we're
going to fly fly the guy out him and him and him
and friend speaking of creativity I have to ask
you about the CJ Watson Jersey because I feel
like this sort of encompasses the way you are as
a student as you prepare for fights I'm a big
basketball fan of a big boxing fan I didn't even
know about the CJ wasn't I can tell you a lot
about CJ Upton I didn't know about his
connection deployed how you found out about
this and wanted to like to get his Jersey which
you can't just go haha why did you do this you
know psychological warfare I am a master at at
it so I know things about people that they don't
even know about themselves so that's it we are
just involved in it in a crazy game so that's it he
tried to come out and play sharing things with
me and I'll play certain things back with him
that's just the nature if you believe it has gone
under the slin you walking around with it what
do you think hips it was a reason why so look
it's a touchy subject and that's why I didn't bring
it up in in on the water I didn't feel the need now
and he's trying to make central markets though
there's a rootless business and that's it and I am
a ruthless individual inside this business so that's
it how'd you get to Jersey you reach out to
some people who reached out to some people in
the Jersey showed up now sort of a little bit later
than expected but I didn't even actually I didn't
even engage in it I had it and I was there and I
worked it to train them one day and then it
ended up on some video or something and EMI
Romani enjoy that where's the Jerry he'll reach
out was like me I don't even know the fuck you
are I don't know anything about basketball
that's got to deal with that and then it just went
everywhere I would say that guy is fucking sick
hey Floyd would like to say Floyd wanted to
smite them as well so whatever it worked out
good for me so then let's address the racism
stuff if we can so you have been accused of
being a racist of race baiting of calling black
people monkeys and he's upset about this he
says he's fighting for the black people can clear
this up first of all never once in my life have I
labeled any I never labeled him a monkey or any
African American or any one a monkey I I've
never like I would not disrespect any race like
that and his people know that and and you know
what he knows that too he knows that deep
down too if I was to label him as any animal it
would be the rat I wouldn't even label him after
other the great eight she never know me he is
a fucking rat and a weasel because that's what
I ran a weasel those tried manipulate words and
create something that's not there so ask ellaby
ask floyd senior they know you know that it's a
it's a weak move on his part to even try and
instigate something and something so sensitive
so I mean but that's the individual he is he's a
man who beats his wife in front of his kid what
can I say all I can say is I never spoke those
things that's here I can answer Kimmel interview
and Jimmy would have made that about I mean
you asked me like what would I be twerking I
said what Rocky and then he said rocky Trna's
like rigby tree about one with the gym or the
circus and the monkeys because he was had a
gym he had a specialized game buikt where the
gym was like a circus is like a celebrity circus
there was clowns there was all this type stuff
and that's what I meant by that and then he
tried to twist the manipulate but hey all I could
say if anyone was offended I apologize but it
was not meant in that way at all he knows it his
people know it it's a weak move on his part it's
a weasel move on his part so I can do nothing
but just carry on and that's him I'd be remiss if
I don't ask you about OI mnor G because I
believe I was told those right over there where
he ht the canvas what do you make is he trying
to get a fight with you is that what is happening
he hadn't I mean he's a he look at us at the end
of his career the I get to see when he feels the
boxing game has betrayed him now he's had
he's he's he's retired he's only I mean I don't
know what he expected coming in here to speak
in what he was speaking I mean the things he
was saying and even still I didn't disrespect him
I only released one picture I didn't release no
connecting to the dace I didn't release no
footage of him getting slapped around cuz he
got slapped around area he got badly slapped
around he was knocked down he was the ropes
kept him up multiple times he was badly from
cause spiral partners that were in the house
were worried about him at night saying he's
incoherently stumbling it wasn't it didn't go
good for him do it is what it is he was brought
in he knew exactly what he was beng brought
in for a fight he speak these things you want to
come in time answer to it I'm trying to prove
yourself respect because that's at the end of day
respect to come in respect coming in at trying
to answer this have he did try his best but he
got his ass for burial at sea and as he got his
ego dentednand an often rent of his own it an
exit presented itself for him and he took 100
mile an honor because he needed to get out
there he couldn't continue so on on we carry on
the business we already someone else in a
couple of weeks so it doesn't make no difference
what about the conditions the living conditons
to pay and things like that tha he talked about
does that bother you everyone on my team has
looked after so there's multiple houses in Las
Vegas the spot I mean ask you to smile - of the
situaton hot damn don't ask the spoon to a guy
who's got his ego hood I don't it is I don't really
pay attention to it everyone's looked after the
cams been amazing true fighters have stayed
present true warriors that can take a smack and
give us my cap state present people who are
worried about their image and that I can splinter
nothing so I believe we have before this is the
footage right over here this is you Dana White
just put this on Instagram this is you and Paulie
Malignaggi huh yeah it is that's the moment
yeah well like what was that you think I push
them there that look like a push that did not
look like a man he was knocked doen and that's
that's actually the only my favor because the
shots before that where he was rattled and
stumbled into the ropes Jeremy so him going
on about all this I have no I'm actually in my
mind it was concussion talk you know when
you're in there in your head rod you don't
actually understand what's happened you think
it the same picture there you think a certain
situation happened and it didn't so I don't know
he got his asshole before bully and that's he are
you doing better than you thought you would
training I'm doing as good as I thought of what
I knew III notifier I am an autumn came calling
about how you ak you your coathes we're
working hard we have a great team there's a
great team that is all in sync and we are working
very hard everyone involved is fully committed
and we are getting great results do you believe
that they will mark it down to eight ounce gloves
I believe so you do why why would he do this
why would he agree to this like it's backfiring
arm I believe I mean originally this is these are
all the stipulations that were put before me the
gloves must be ten ounce it can't be Mexican
they can't be horse here and I'm like okay I
already agreed but I put it in front of the public
mundset and influence of the public and and
then a must have dented his ego Jeremy no
that's it he tried to tried to go let's do the AFIS
now we're gonna do the answers great I usually
find four so I actually don't give a fuck I didn't
give a fuck originally because I accepted this
stipulations no Mexican no horsehair ten ounce
all that so great am-scary you'll be asleep inside
field two now inside to a town since I feel ten
ounces for I believe so I mean it look I'm just
trying to be humble not even given it he's gonna
be down in the force he's going to down in the
force and the only reason he won't be done in
the forces because army may be done the force
varies that he may survive the force is because
he has ten seconds and there's no just no
pounce I can't pounce like I could any mixed
national a spell or actual belt so when you hear
boxing aficionados like Max Kellerman say you're
not going to lend a punch any react to that the
people like today we posted videos of you hitting
the bag and it's all people saying look how slow
he is he doesn't know what he's doing look at
this movement stuff you you enjoy that that
better you know it happens to all great training
methods tried everything is criticized and I
mean originally Floyd way back his method of
hitting the pods and him the bag was really
killed during the Hatton build of life was kind of
fascinating about Floyd they ridiculed hid
methods and then all of a sudden everyone
start trying to follow his methods in an
amendment on the success this is it's been the
same with me when I start incorporating
movement training and I started incorporating
tune attackes intent approaches in the mixed
martial arts game ridiculed it's a joke a joker as
well how many times I've been called a joker
joker and then everyone fast following to study
it's no different here the boxing game I look oh
he doesn't he doesn't move this way what's he
doing this that the other they just don't
understand I mean they don't understand they
just try and discard it but thankfully all these
26th there can be no learning from it so it will
do the same thing that will happen that always
happens we will try and push it away it will face
it will be put in front of them Floyd will be slept
and then they will begin the studying process
and then they were and then the implementing
process and then I'm on to the next which is
what I'm on to my next wave of preparation so
they're here and I'm here again and then I'm
here then I'm here gymnast all I'm saying yeah
so that's it that's what that's like can you
guarantee the next one is MMA and December
30th yeah well I believe so December I believe
shall we'll see we'll see who knows but I believe
so ok who will be sponsoring you for this fight
and my sponsers I have left you're keeping
Muslim confidential we talked about monsters
baptism yeah monster ivory dominance yes
yeah at least I'm a monster energy it's great to
be back partnered with them and then that's a
there's been a new one that has come on board
and then that's it we were currently walking and
but we are look we're in no rush I'm in no hurry
to you know I know my work and that's it on my
show episode 300 you said you would make a
hundred million very soon right by the time this
is all said and done sponsorship ticket sales gate
how much do you think will walk away with I will
clear 200 million mark easy 100 cents is it
horrible - no no if it clears ever clears pack your
numbers which it will which in my mind it
already has it will be 100 million in fact at the
gate fact that it merchandise sales factor all all
the pies that I have my hand in I will clear 200
million mark okay two last things you are a
historian you were talking about a lien okey like
you just watched it have you allowed yourself I
mean I feel like especially if you pull off the
impossible right the upset if you will people will
be talking about this journey with great
reverence this this particular flight lab have you
studied you know the build-up to Ali Frazier and
Ali no get some of the great any what Charlize
build of semana and all his documentaries and
movies and the books about him I've read and
what do you think they'll say about you in 50
years you know I'm not quite sure what they say
about me I'm just say the party just same I'm a
young kid who showed up when he said he was
going to show up that's it so III don't know I
don't even think about that when you walk in
here with this I just I just what I do know is
another I just know that it will live on that's
what I do know I cannot control what people
say about me now or in the future but I said you
know what I am doing and the stuff that I've
done and achieved will live on long after I'm
gone and then so let me ask you this when you
beat you say I'll do it UFC 194 you said you went
from nothing - something to everything if you
people may whether that's more than everything
what do you say then so I don't know I'll have to
think about that when I come back here did you
know that you will win oh whoa no nervous
hands yeah no doubt in my mind you usually
know what you're going to say you usually have
it all up here but maybe this one is a little too I
mean no you're asking if it's on it add on from
that quote it's pretty hard on that it's hard to
add to everything yeah yeah but I feel like there
is something above everything if you do beep
like Mayweather like you say you are yeah yeah
I don't know you know I'm just I'm just going
to relish in it people up there with me my whole
whale and this has been a bit more intensified
the doubt and criticism so I'm just kind of
relishing it you know the sim is to prove myself
my supporters and my friends and the people
that with me prove them correct and then the
second aim is to prove the debt was wrong
that's it so we will do that August 26th we will
relish in it thankfully all that all the criticism and
all the doubts and it's all recorded so I'm sure
we with all have a good and a good time looking
back and seeing what they said then to what
they say after so what an absolute honor thanks
so much I know you don't have to do this and
sit down and talk to us it means the world it
can't thank you enough and best of luck - can't
wait to see it or 926 Frank O'Connor thank you
