No joke, this presser isn't selling this fight at all.

Showtime and Money productions sucks

Yup.

They never could sell fights. Arum probably did more to sell Pac vs Floyd.

 

[Weckum]

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Wasn't McG supposed to be much bigger? Looks no bigger than Canelo.

 

[RBelong2Us]

lol at Mays body guards

 

[Diddy Kong]

such bs

 

[Chumley]

Let's be clear.

You and I would be at this press conference, putting on a good show, for this kind of money.

What I meant was Conor would have never gotten this far in his career if he didn't have unshakable belief that he was going to beat everyone put in front of him, including Floyd.

 

[Formless]

Pointless without mics

 

[jett]

Conor wouldn't be here if he didn't believe he can win.

Also Mayweathers brittle fists would crack into pieces in lighter gloves.

Conor is here because he's making enough money to never work a day in his life again.

 

[zewone]

Only Showtime Sports can somehow make the biggest fight in history extremely boring.

 

[ldcommando]

there is only one tall guy at the stage

 

[Oxn]

Gotta admit Floyd schooled Conor at the press conference.

 

[oneHeero]

tbh I think the smacktalk at the end is real hence no mic. They gonna go hard at each other with no mics.

 

[zelas]

Mauro!!

 

[Dazzler]

Not defending it, but someone from Ireland isn't going to understand the racial significance of calling Mayweather "Boy"

I'm pretty sure he said similar to Aldo a few years back

 

[Rogan]

That was bad.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Gotta admit Floyd schooled Conor at the press conference.

not really they cut off conors mic for some reason

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Production on this was awful. Give Conor a working mic if you want this to be entertaining.

 

[ldcommando]

yes, he did.

 

[PizzaFace]

Was the check he pulled out the one he's giving to Showtime so that they'll cut Conor's mic?

 

[Yaari]

That was awful. Makes me not even want to watch the other 3.

 

[Peotical Injection]

Showtime fucking sucks at this. Should of let the UFC handle it.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Dana be grinning hard during every face to face.

 

[Macattk15]

Yeah man that conference was terrible.

 

[Turin]

The 4 oz aren't realistic but they could do the 8 oz. The commission would allow it if both guys agreed to wearing 8's.

 

[Always-honest]

That was awful. Makes me not even want to watch the other 3.

I'm not watching those. This was the one. Now i wait for the fight.

 

[RivalCore]

...That was it?

 

[jett]

This shitshow wasn't too bad. Is this it for today?

 

[Minto]

Aye shit move not having Conors mic working near the end.

Pretty poor overall but Floyd took that one I reckon..

 

[loki 16]

LMAO Floyd can knock out Connor anytime he wants.

 

[Dazzler]

that was a really bad Press Conference. Couple of levels below the ones UFC puts out for much smaller events

Sound issues, fighters awkwardly pacing the stage, the boring speeches to start

 

[valkillmore]

Huh not really getting the reaction here, lots of you seem to be disappointed by that? Audio problems notwithstanding, what exactly did you expect?

 

[Wallach]

The 4 oz aren't realistic but they could do the 8 oz. The commission would allow it if both guys agreed to wearing 8's.

Mayweather's hands wouldn't survive 4oz gloves even if everything else from the waist up would. I'll be shocked if he goes any lower than 10oz.

 

[Ikuu]

Not defending it, but someone from Ireland isn't going to understand the racial significance of calling Mayweather "Boy"

I'm pretty sure he said similar to Aldo a few years back

"I own this town, I own Rio de Janeiro, so for him to say that he is the king and I am the joker, if this was a different time, I would invade his favela on horseback, and would kill anyone who wasn't fit to work, but we're in a new time, so I'll whoop his ass instead."

Also called Siver a Nazi

It's like Showtime is stuck in the 90's or something. They have no idea what they're doing.

 

[Heel]

In what world is Floyd Mayweather willing to compromise on gloves? lol

 

[DogDude]

They cut McGregors mic intentionally. That was no production problem

 

[Always-honest]

Mayweather's hands wouldn't survive 4oz gloves even if everything else from the waist up would. I'll be shocked if he goes any lower than 10oz.

Yeah the 4oz is never ever happening.

 

[Plywood]

Dana liking his lips lol.

 

[oatmeal]

Dana became even fatter for this event.

Reminds me of Adam Devine on conan for Pitch Perfect press.

"I gained 30 pounds for this role...no one asked me to"

 

[Turin]

Mayweather's hands wouldn't survive 4oz gloves even if everything else from the waist up would. I'll be shocked if he goes any lower than 10oz.

He used 8 against Pacquiao and Berto. It's usually 10 above 147 but compromises can be made.

He opened his mouth so I'm hoping they actually do that. lol

 

[Dosia]

They are prob gonna be backstage laughing together about all of the money they are going to make.

 

[NyMartin90]

Conor seemed like he ran out of things to say when he was on the mic

 

[Floex]

Huh not really getting the reaction here, lots of you seem to be disappointed by that? Audio problems notwithstanding, what exactly did you expect?

What exactly was good about it?

They need people to ask them questions, not make some fake ass speech.

 

[SteveO409]

So is the rest of the tour just going to be them boasting about how much money they're going to make and talk shit about how much less the other made in previous fights....

 

[DogDude]

Conor seemed like he ran out of things to say when he was on the mic

I think he said he wasn't told he was going to make a speech so might make sense

 

[3N16MA]

Yeah, please talk some more about how much money you have. That will win the people over.

He never tries to win any fans. He gets people to hate him and want to buy his fights in the hope of seeming him lose.

 

[ldcommando]

Conor seemed like he ran out of things to say when he was on the mic

Which is an amazing feat for someone with such a big mouth

 

[ChosenPredator]

Conor seemed like he ran out of things to say when he was on the mic

He's on cloud 9 the guy was so happy that it was just even happening, lol.

 

[Sato Koiji]

Conor was there and waited for Floyd for 5 minutes then they stared at each other. THis whole thing wasnt planned at all.

 

[Chumley]

Conor seemed like he ran out of things to say when he was on the mic

They didn't tell him he was going to give a speech. No prep and Showtime seems thoroughly incompetent on putting this entire thing together.
