The press conferences aren’t disappointing.
After the world’s most expletive-laden suit was unleashed on the world, we wondered how Floyd Mayweather Jr and Conor McGregor could top that war of words and they didn’t disappoint.
We all know that this fight is going to be the greatest circus in town but we defy anyone to not watch it. You know that you’re going to.
It’s pure entertainment, spectacle and pageantry, but when it comes to selling a fight, nobody is better than McGregor.
Taking to the stage, Mayweather decided that he’d pose with the Irish tricolour during the second leg of their world promotional tour in Toronto, Canada.
You can clearly see McGregor revel in this challenge to the limelight, because after smiling and laughing, he replied by snatching Mayweather’s backpack and revealing that it had only one wad of cash in it – guessing it was around $5,000.
In another eventful press conference, The Notorious said:
“He won’t do shit. You’ll do f****** nothing. And while we’re at it, f*** Showtime too. Look at this little weasel, I can see it in your eyes. Cut my mic off, cut the champ’s mic off? Hell no, you f****** bitch.”
McGregor continued: “I just wanna speak to all the little boxing p******, all the little pundit p******, supposed experts. You’re f****** crazy if you think he stands a chance. His head is too small. One shot is all it takes me. Check the facts, I bounce heads off the canvas and dribble that shit. He tip-tap toes to a decision. He’s never even fought a day in his life, he’s a runner, boxing’s biggest b*****.”
This being said, it’s clear that McGregor has some respect for Mayweather’s showmanship because you can clearly see him smiling as the boxing legend drapes himself in the Irish flag.
To those that say they’re not going to watch the fight, here’s why you will. These two men will sell the living hell out of it.
Bring. It. On.
