That\u2019s all I did, push-ups and sit-ups. Boxed a few times, hit the bag a few times. &#8216;Cos actually, training camp was in different places. I would do a training camp in Vegas a few days.

So you know, just lead with that style that I had which was entertaining, it was fun, so that the people enjoyed it. So you have to give people a show, so I gave people a show. If I wanted to go out and f**k him up and blaze him right out the gate, I could have did that. But you know, my thing is if I would have did that, there probably wouldn\u2019t be a part two.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201dGo back and look at All Access,\u201d Mayweather concluded. \u201cI was in shape, but I wasn&#8217;t probably in shape like the Arturo Gatti fight. I was in dog shape. Diego Corrales, I was in dog shape. I was running in the mountains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayweather says his lack of training against McGregor was a strategic move to entertain fans and ensure a rematch.
