Mayweather – who officially came out of retirement in March – didn’t seem to bothered by the taunt during a recent training session, in which he trash talked the UFC’s poster boy.
?You name him, I?ll beat him,? the 40-year-old repeatedly said. ?I be trying to tell y?all, I can get a black eye, bloody nose.
“I can have a bad day in the gym. At the end of the day, I don?t have a bad payday and I don?t have a bad night under the lights.?
He added: ?I get bumps, bruises, but I don?t have a bad night.”
Mayweather, 49-0, hasn’t set foot inside the squared circle since his September 2015 victory over Andre Berto.
