FLOYD Mayweather has taunted Conor McGregor by warning him that he could lose millions of dollars if he doesn’t drop 10 pounds before Friday’s weigh-in.

Mayweather has expressed concerns that McGregor is looking like coming into fight night over the weight limit of 154 pounds.

The American is so confident of beating McGregor he decided to wolf down some Burger King just days before the fight.

Mayweather said that McGregor is extremely heavy at the moment and only has a matter of days to lose the weight or he will be paying Mayweather millions in a fine.

Unbeaten Mayweather will not cancel the fight if McGregor missed weight, but will instead seek a chunk of the Irishman’s purse for the fight.

Mayweather told Fight Hype: “Conor McGregor is extremely heavy right now, extremely heavy.

Mayweather said that he thinks McGregor is at least 10 pounds over weight.

The 40-year-old also took aim at UFC president Dana White.

He added: “I think he’s 164, so he’s still got 10 pounds to go, you go get that extra money if you can’t make the weight, get them extra millions ready Dana, somebody got to pay a fine.

“He got to get that weight down like a true champion, a true champion is discipline, and very responsibl­e.

“I don’t think he gonna make the weight, even if he do make the weight, that’s even better.

“But if he don’t make the weight, we still gonna fight but it’s going to be a heavy fine – get me that money.”
