The hype for this fight has been intense, with both McGregor and Mayweather making appearances and talking tons of trash.

MMA star McGregor caused quite a stir on July 11th at the Money Fight's very first press conference. Hitting the stage in a custom-made suit; fans quickly realized the pin stripes on his snazzy ensemble spelled out a "F**k You." message for Mayweather. The world boxing champion was not tickled with this subtle jab; after bragging about his fee being much larger than McGregor's, Mayweather then encouraged his fans to boo the handsome Celtic fighter.
