One line in particular got everyone excited during McGregor Mayweather press conference

It wasn't the most exciting of press conferences in all honesty.

Conor McGregor stole the show once again but it certainly wasn't the showstopping performance we are used to. It ain't got nothing on UFC and their media days is all we're saying. There was one line though that got the crowd riled up but it didn't come from the Crumlin man. "If you want 8 oz gloves we put 8 oz gloves on you want 4 oz gloves we put 4 oz gloves on," said Floyd Mayweather, it was fighting talk from the man who's fight is on his terms. It was the first time that it showed he was ready to showdown and it got a few people excited and none more so than McGregor's coach John Kavanagh. https://twitter.com/John_Kavanagh/status/884895895002775553 https://twitter.com/barty_david/status/884895948735791104 https://twitter.com/SavageLRG/status/884896038888144896 https://twitter.com/MMA_Inciter/status/884899482718142464 But for every person that got excited by the comment, there were a dozen that called bullshit on Floyd Mayweather. https://twitter.com/SimonZebo/status/884902924912123905 https://twitter.com/threeredkings/status/884903663461957634 https://twitter.com/Davesstar/status/884904886839726081 https://twitter.com/MattParrinoUFC/status/884903059184173056 https://twitter.com/Mr_CallumWright/status/884902833044193280 https://twitter.com/_Enzymes/status/884902508010889216 https://twitter.com/RobbieBarstool/status/884902357032734721 https://twitter.com/NiallRaff/status/884899419862302720
