McGregor and Mayweather praise each other, ahead of money fight

Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr. declared a truce on Wednesday after weeks of vicious verbal attacks, offering praise instead of profanities at the final press conference ahead of their much anticipated fight.

The final press conference ahead of Saturday's fight, however, was closer to a love-in than a battle field with Mayweather, in particular, complimenting the man who has questioned everything from his manhood to his fashion sense.

"Conor McGregor had a hell of a career, he's still got a hell of a career," said Mayweather. "He's a hell of a fighter, he's a stand up guy, a tough competitor.

"It's not going to be an easy fight. There will be blood sweat and tears Saturday."

McGregor was far less effusive in his compliments but after months of mercilessly attacking Mayweather said he welcomed the pause in hostilities.

"There's been a lot of crazy press conferences, this is a lot more subdued, a lot more business like the way I like it ... sometimes," said McGregor.
