There's still over a month to go before both champs go toe-to-toe in the boxing ring but Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather brought the ruckus to Budweiser Stage for day two of their international press tour.  

The men stared each other down with puffed chests under the watchful eye of UFC Founder Dana White.

McGregor, a UFC champion in two weight divisions is the underdog for the Aug. 26 boxing match. He is up against undefeated boxing champion Mayweather at his own game. 

It is a mega-match that will make them both mega-rich.

Estimates suggest Mayweather could make up to $400 million and McGregor's purse would be near the $100 million mark.

Thousands showed up for the promotional event, which was free to the public.

It's the first big UFC event in Toronto since Fight Night at the Air Canada Centre between fighters Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis in December 2016.

Before that, it had been almost four years since mixed martial arts fans saw a fight.
