Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor top 10 moments

Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor top 10 moments



Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are masters of their craft but also world class promoters.

In Showtime's four-part All Access programme, a behind-the-scenes look at both men not only helped hype the August 26 showdown but provided plenty of insight and entertaining moments.

Sportsmail takes a look back at the top 10 highlights including Mayweather playing the cowboy and a trip to the Irishman's first ever boxing gym.



Mayweather stacking cash

What would a show around the 'Money Man' be if it failed to illustrate his ludicrous lifestyle.

Mayweather has no qualms about flashing the cash and is seen taking out huge stacks out of a backpack. The 40-year-old is also filmed on board his private jet, tipping the pilots $1000 dollars each.

Everyone knows Mayweather's lifestyle is as lavish as it comes but to see him throwing around that kind of money in it's physical form makes you stop in your tracks.



McGregor the family man

Often the public only ever get to see McGregor as the consummate showman so an insight into his life as a family man was refreshing to see.

His partner Dee Devlin and infant son Conor Jnr are frequently accompanying him to various commitments in Las Vegas before August 26.

Conor Jr will have no memory of the build up to the biggest fight of all time but he can look back at the video of him being tucked under the arm of his famous father and ferried around Sin City.



Shadow boxing Snoop

Mayweather is not short of famous pals and passionate combat sports lover Snoop Dogg made an entertaining cameo.

The musician is seen entering the ring and showing off his moves with a bit of shadow boxing before raising his arms aloft pretending to be Mayweather.

Snoop's flow on the mike is incomparably more slick than his moves in the ring. 



McGregor's crew

McGregor has resisted the calls for him to change camps, hire more experienced coaches and surround himself with different experts during his career.

The Irishman has stuck with his loyal and often unseen entourage headed up by coach John Kavanagh and striking specialist Owen Roddy.

It was refreshing to see both men pick up some air time as they have been integral to McGregor's rapid rise to the top.

An interview with Roddy had him outline his role and listening to the Irishman speak about how he helps his countryman figure out what might work offered an interesting insight into the dynamic in their camp.

There was also a scene with movement coach Ido Portal talking through his pupil's fascination with the human body and it's capabilities.



Mayweather the cowboy

The American was filmed going for a trek on horseback with his children and hopped on top of 'Outlaw' before trotting through the barren Nevada desert.

He the pulled out his phone and started Facetiming someone, excitedly telling them that he was on a horse.

After all the trash talk and brash aggression the public often see with Mayweather, it was nice to see him genuinely thrilled by simply being on top of a horse.

A softer side to Mayweather

There was a brilliant scene in which the five-weight world champion spent time with terminally ill child Taylor Hammond.

Taylor suffers with leukemia but his delight at meeting Mayweather, and the boxer's gentle way around him showed another side of his personality.

'Money' taught his new friend how to use the speed bag and admitted meeting the youngster has given him a 'whole new perspective on life'.

He was also seen enjoying time with his children doing some rollerskating
