Ask Bas Rutten to liver kick you until it no longer hurts. That, or think about how to not get hit in the liver.

Yes of course there is a way to minimize the pain, people just want the liver to be some magical chi button. It's just flesh and nerves like the rest of your vulnerable bits, and nature has conveniently protected it for you.
Are you crunching your body to the side that the punch comes in on? That's the obvious step 1 if you aren't already doing that. Developing your obliques will help shield your organs. And finally you need to get used to getting hit there which helps with Frode's point. Do you think if you punched even the crappiest UFC fighter in the liver he would do anything other than laugh at you? No because they're used to getting hit there and can work through it. Medicine balls are one way, and having people kick or punch you there is another common drill. Give the striker a thumbs up or down depending on if they're hitting you too hard or soft so you don't have to slow down training by talking.
Edit: If you're talking really really powerful kicks, like a flush back kick, it can help to "roll" with the kick. Ride it across the ring rather than planting and eating 100% of the force.

Well punches to the face are no problem, but everything to the liver, as I am southpaw my liver is more exposed and most of the guys actually look for the head but some of them are smarter and look for the liver all the time

The body's natural defense against internal damage to organs is subcutaneous body fat and muscle. So no, if you don't have either of these things you cannot minimize the amount of damage done to your liver when hit.

Anyone with decent power could drop a UFC fighter with a liver shot. The only exceptions would be fighters with higher levels of body fat such as Roy Nelson and Mark Hunt.

"hook punch me", hahahahaha. Who uses a phrase like that? $300 bucks, huh? Would that even cover airfare? If you want to talk about absurdity first learn the value of $300. Which might be easier if your mother didn't pay all your bills. No, a liver shot will drop anyone, at anytime, anywhere, despite how tough they are, and the only exceptions have been named. High levels of subcutaneous body fat combined with high muscularity would make taking liver shots easier. Unless you're telling me you have a lot of subcutaneous fat?
Edit: Nevermind you joined yesterday. Troll account.
Oh how I love when someone gets shut down and their only attempt at salvaging their ego is throwing around the word troll. You can rest easy, mommy is here.

It's usually stupid because people have no intention of following through, but I'm completely serious. I'm honestly getting fucking sick of you pussies on the striking forum thinking you immediately die from a single liver shot. If anyone is in Boston, let's set this up. Time limit of like... 2 days from now and restricted to active posters. I don't want some random professional heavyweight champion boxer hearing about this from his friend and breaking my ribs.
300 bucks you pussies. Let's go.

You offered $300 to fly to where you are and beat you up, right? How much do you think airfare costs exactly? How much do you think people's time is worth exactly? Who said anything about "dying" from a liver shot? You clearly have zero understanding of the human anatomy or striking since you love to use phrases such as..."hook punch me". Of course you live in Boston, lol. This guy thinks $300 is enough to have someone come fly out to Boston and beat him up...yikes!
Southpaws have the advantage when it comes to delivering liver shots. Feint a jab, get the other guy to raise his guard a little, step in and crush him with a short left shovel hook to his exposed liver. Make sure you got the mechanics down to deliver maximum torque.
