梅威瑟认为，由罗伯特.伯德(Robert Byrd)来作为与麦格雷戈的场裁，应该没有任何问题。
梅威瑟说；“我真的相信裁判会做好他的工作，裁判的任务是确保拳手们保持比赛的干净，让我们能够打一场激烈的战斗，所以没有什么可担心的。我期待着各方能够遵守昆士伯拳击规则，我很确定他也同样期待着遵守这个规则。
麦格雷戈在与马里格纳吉的实战训练中有科泽在场，本来这是一个好现象，但我看到麦格雷戈仍然在做——非常脏。但我的工作不是担心裁判，我的工作是去战斗，让裁判做他的工作”。
梅威瑟应该并不是很担心麦格雷戈会在他们的比赛中尝试使用任何类似MMA的动作，因为那样的话麦格雷戈将会面临巨大的，合同中规定的经济处罚，以及一场诉讼。但是，预计麦格雷戈会尽量将他们的战斗节奏打乱，因为梅威瑟的拳击能力是如此的好。
Mayweather: McGregor 'Extremely Dirty' Even With Cortez in Camp
By Keith Idec
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has no issue whatsoever with referee Robert Byrd officiating his fight against Conor McGregor.
He didn’t sound as certain Thursday that he believes McGregor will work within the confines of boxing’s rules when they fight August 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In just the brief footage Mayweather watched from the UFC superstar’s sparring sessions against Paulie Malignaggi, he noticed McGregor continuously breaking the rules.
Byrd is a veteran referee who has worked numerous high-profile fights. He is not known, however, for being physical about breaking up action once it gets rough.

Mayweather still expressed confidence during a conference call that Byrd will keep their 12-round, 154-pound fight, McGregor’s boxing debut, as clean as possible.
“I truly believe the ref’s gonna do his job,” Mayweather said. “The referee’s job is to make sure the fighters are keeping the bout clean. And I want us to put on a hell of a fight. Like I said on numerous occasions building up to this fight, I’m coming straight ahead. So he don’t have nothing to worry about. I look forward to following the Queensbury rules of boxing, and I’m pretty sure he looks forward to following the Queensbury rules of boxing.”
The 29-year-old McGregor has had retired referee Joe Cortez officiating sparring sessions throughout training camp, so he could become accustomed to boxing’s rules. Mayweather commended McGregor for taking that step, but he’s not convinced it has made much of a difference.
“He had Joe Cortez in his training camp, which is a great thing,” Mayweather said. “Even though he had Joe Cortez in his training camp, I still seen him doing – being extremely dirty. But my job is not to worry about the referee. My job is to go out there and fight, and let the referee do his job.”
