When asked what he had said to the Irishman, Mayweather replied: "I said: 'You still haven't knocked me out? You said it wouldn't go past four, when are you going to use your power?'," the Mirror reports.
McGregor began the fight well, with one judge scoring him higher than Mayweather in the first three rounds, completely defying those who said he would be lucky to even land one punch on the boxing champ.

However, he appeared to become tired as the fight went on, and the referee eventually stopped the fight in the 10th round.
Mayweather said: "He was solid, but I've been off for a couple of years and I'm older now. I still have a hell of an IQ and I'm still a thinker.

"His punching power is solid but I've felt it before so I kept coming forward. It wasn't the kind of power that stopped me coming forward.
"I told you guys I'd come straight ahead. I could have sat back and counter-punched. My plan was to let him shoot heavy shots and take him down the stretch.

"I wanted to let him shoot heavy shots from the beginning."
Mayweather celebrated his win with a trip to Girl Collection - the strip club he owns.
He was posting to Twitter from there two hours after his win.
