"One thing we do know, the f**king fans can't fight for you."Although McGregor got a bigger cheer with his 'Shut the f**k up!' response, Mayweather's comments touched a nerve. https://youtu.be/Luch6LY9gio Just a week out from the August 26 bout between both men, Mayweather has timed an even bigger insult to perfection. Again, it focuses on an area that McGregor and his followers consider a strength but 'Money' has just brutally dismissed it. After telling Showtime's 'All Access' that he can abso-f**king-lutely knock the Dubliner out, Mayweather trains his sights on McGregor's training regime.

When it is all said and done, McGregor's shoulder rolls, cycles and unique training drills will either transform boxing - as they have done across the UFC since his victories - or he will be mercilessly ripped by an entire sport and hundreds of thousands of fight enthusiasts the world over.
However, it is worth remembering McGregor's words after he defeated Nate Diaz at UFC 202.
