Holy shit that was entertaining despite the trash audio.

Also, fuck Mayweather - Toronto Flag? Ignorant ass motherfucker.

 

[DogDude]

Mayweather on showtime pretty much admitting this is all fake lol

 

[Obliterator]

Floyd LOVES Conor, he knows he's selling PPV's to the masses

They are both loving this right now.

They are about to be more filthy fucking rich than they already are

 

[Brinbe]

So fucking sad that i had to miss this due to work. The carniest circus came to town and I missed out. =(

 

[STILLethal]

Conor is fookin hilarious, haven't laughed that hard at a press conference in a while

 

[Officerrob]

Mayweather on showtime pretty much admitting this is all fake lol

They are selling PPV's, and that's what Conor does best.

 

[jett]

Na, Floyds focused on the win. In the ring he a completely different person he is outside the ring. He's going to show Conor his respect on fight night.

More accurately, he's gonna show respect to his own undefeated record.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

They're both doing Birdman handrubs when they get off the stage.

 

[Farsi]

Very well said.

This fight is a media fabrication yo, born of ignorance from the masses that don't really respect boxing or MMA. It's pure carny, 1000%; enjoy the bullshit. It's fun!

 

[DogDude]

Floyd is such a different person in a candid interview like this. You can tell he has a mind for the business.

 

[dream]

I love PBF, but only having two bricks in that pussy ass bag is suspect as shit.

 

[Shamrock7r]

I'm just approaching this like it's WWE if WWE was actually entertaining

 

[RBelong2Us]

Mayweather keeps selling McGregor

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Are we getting 24/7-esque episodes leading up to this fight?

 

[DKehoe]

Mayweather keeps selling McGregor

Yeh, he's dropping the "Money" character for this segment but he's still in promotion mode.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Are we getting 24/7-esque episodes leading up to this fight?

I think so, showtime is doing something like that...but i could of swore UFC said they were going to do their styled lead up thing

 

[jett]

This is pure entertainment, nothing wrong with that. No reason to shit on the "masses."

Floyd is really smart, you can tell. He knows exactly what he's doing.

 

[Obliterator]

Dana White has been putting up Daily video blogs on the UFC YouTube channel

And then the actual week of the fight the UFC will be doing an Embedded

 

[Beefy]

Man McGregor was mad

correct.

 

[Higgy]

Now that was a fuckng press conference! Between the flag and the bag of cash holy shit was that fun. Master class shit talking from both men. Bravo gentleman, you can hear the cash registers ringing up the cash.

 

[Turin]

Yep. That was way more fun than the first one. I like that they let people record their face off with their phones.

 

[Brian_FETO]

It is hilarious how pleasant Mayweather is in the end interview

 

[Fitts]

Ridiculously fake, but kind of entertaining.

And lol at Floyd allegedly saying "MMA next." Dude is a coward and would never fight at a disadvantage.

 

[Rumblebones]

This fuckery is what people are paying for.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

This fuckery is what people are paying for.

And its all streamed for free!

 

[cordy]

Mayweather with his John Cena-ish promo skills. He can sell you on whatever match he's invested in that's for damn sure. When it's time for promos, he got that shit on lock.

my god man...dude fights for a living (or at least did). 'coward' is the last word I'd think of when it comes to people that box for a living.

 

[finowns]

So, how good was McGregor? Did he kill Mayweather?

 

[Fitts]

my god man...dude fights for a living (or at least did). 'coward' is the last word I'd think of when it comes to people that box for a living.

It's the first word I think of when it comes to woman beaters, but that's just me.

We're talking about Floyd Mayweather dude.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Conor used flicker jabs imo

 

[Tekniqs]

We're talking about Floyd Mayweather dude.

I know who he's talking about.

point being these dudes fight for a living. I doubt coward is a word apt to describe them (floyd included).

It's the first word I think of when it comes to woman beaters, but that's just me.

i usually think piece of shit

 

[natjjohn]

Don't follow boxing, but are most boxing lead ups WWE style like these two conferences have been?

They've been great IMO. Still won't buy as it seems a master st his craft in Mayweather should easily handle someone who is essentially an inexperienced rookie.

 

[Tater Tot]

Conor used flicker jabs imo

great reference

Just watched the presser. That was Conor's finest moment, he controlled the crowd in the palm of his hand and he still hasn't even come close to fully unloading on PBF. Till now I thought Conor was neck and neck with Chael Sonnen on the GOAT trash talker list but with this it has to be Conor at number 1.

 

[BadAss2961]

Gotta give Conor his props, he was fire today.

This is full WWE now.

 

[Tom_Cody]

FYI: I have a press credential for the NYC event tomorrow.

I will probably get to ask each fighter a question, so please let me know if you have any suggestions.



I'm especially eager to hear from MMA folks since I'm more from the boxing side of things.

Conor could give a masterclass in trash talk at this point. He is an expert at getting that media circus going from 0 to 60 in no time flat. He had one off day to get used to the format of boxing pressers, but now the hype train is going to probably sell more pay-per-views than ever conceived.

Yup.

Also, about Floyd, I didn't think he was doing that badly at selling himself as a heel until he apologized to Dana. Wtf was that?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Wow, glad I went for this. So fucking good!

They are probably on the phone with each other right now complimenting each other's acting performance.

lol Look at the guy on the far right/bottom. He's worse than a WWE fan. I hope he doesn't believe this is real.

McGregor got a big ass head. He got the reach too.

Easier target.

 

[Yaari]

The guy on the bottom right is probably the one they planted there to give the flag to Floyd.

 

[Zyae]

Man McGregor was mad

You know this is all fake right?

If only certain people would know how incredible bad they come off acting all high and mighty. No, the "WWE fan believing this is real" isn't the moron here.

But hey whatever make you feel great pointing this out.
