Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor had to be pulled apart as the pair engaged in a brawl at the opening event of a week long build up to “The Money Fight”.

Undefeated Mayweather will square up against UFC fighter cum boxer McGregor in Las Vegas this Saturday, August 27 in a potentially most lucrative bout in boxing’s history.

29-year-old Irishman, Conor McGregor, who will be making his boxing debut against Mayweather, told reporters after the scuffle: “He needs to be put to sleep,”

“He will wake up a better man. I am going to do that for him.”
