The Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight is already pretty big, but it’s getting a last minute boost thanks to the one and only Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who will lend his voice to the introductory video leading into the main event.
“In my #IronParadise here in Vancouver, shooting the VO for the bad ass open of the #MayweatherMcGregor tonight,” Johnson wrote on Instagram. “I connected with my boy Conor this week. His intentions go far beyond his extraordinary skill. Like Mayweather, not only does he want to put on an epic performance for the world, but there’s a real visceral, raw, warrior mana (spirit) that he has in his blood.”
“There’s only one way you gain respect… by earning it. Let’s get after it boys and may the best man win.”
The Rock is repped by WME-IMG, the entertainment giant that just bought the UFC last summer, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that he’s popping up to support Conor as he attempts the impossible against Floyd Mayweather. And while he didn’t go so far as to predict a McGregor win, he sounds completely on board with the Irishman’s plans for world domination.
Or as Conor McGregor would say, “Gods recognize gods!”
