The one vs. Floyd Senior?

The one where he is talking about shins hitting foreheads and elbows hitting heads?

The one where he is swearing every second sentence?

Conor was hilarious in his back and forth with Floyd Senior.

I couldn't stay awake for it.. long day was long. Any links to the full thing?

Fair enough. There was the odd funny exchange.

Think walshb kind of touched on it asking those who give McG a chance could he beat any boxer at 154.

But would he beat any of Mayweather's opponents from the last 10 years (at the time Floyd beat them?) Who and why? Like guys like Berto would KO him. 

Berto
Pacquiaio
Maidana
Canelo
Guerrero
Ortiz
Hatton 
Marquez
Cotto
Mosley

Floyd is low class, but McGregor is on the sole of Mayweather shoe when it comes to class.

If he wasn't an MMA fighter, he'd likely be in the Joy or stalking up and down the boardwalk shouting at tourists.

Ironic when Floyd is the one of the two who actually has a reason to be in prison........

Conor was doing that to get a reaction he was pushing buttons and it worked especially when floyd senior started going on about sueing

he was wound up in knots
The hole thing was aload of nonsense but at least gave me a laugh
Floyd senior seems a cool guy tho

Jesus McGregor is even out of his depth at a Boxing press conference. He'll have to write better lines. The kung fu donkey kong movement sh*te trying to get a reaction out of Floyd while Floyd just looks on stoic was priceless.

I think it was Mellor who said he found a market on a book for this beating Mayweather/Manny PPV numbers, could ya remind me of who was offering that?

Vegas has the line at 4.9m, you can get it on some big boxing sites like Oddsmakers.

I would like to see anyone wing a speech better than his when unprepared for it.

You really believe he was unprepared and had to wing that speech?

Colourful history alright, I do think his domestic abuse charge was pretty tough on him given the circumstances but no excuse for a pro boxer hitting a woman.

And there is sh1t loads of examples of it through the years with boxers.

Floyd has his version of what happened, but looking at it and realising that his own son saw stuff and kind of verified stuff, it doesn't look good for him.

McGregor is so far out of his depth it's almost sad. In the UFC he's the cheese, the money man.

Compared to Floyd and boxing in general he isn't even the bag man. Mayweather's little jabs got to McGregor he hates the Mr Tapout comment!

I thought they dont release exact ppv figures so how do you get paid out on the bet?

He never denied hitting her I suppose it's his reasoning that she was out of her head on Cocaine and oxy and a danger to his kids. But that doesnt excuse it.

I think there is probably more to it than that too as the two weren't "together" at that point either and she's an absolute gem so no doubt there was jealousy issues there.

Do you genuinely think that Floyd didn't seem a little intellectually challenged? His comments appeal to a certain demographic for sure.

The reason they cut McGregor's mic was because Floyd went up to the mic and got a tumbleweed reaction to saying the following:

"Y'all know I ain't backed down from no mother-fucking-body. They line 'em up and I knock 'em down like bowling pins and on August 26th I'm gonna knock this bitch out too"

To which Conor replied:

"You haven't knocked anyone out in 20 years!"

Huge cheers / laughter from the crowd.

Think the last thing Conor was let say was when Floyd asked for his backpack and then proceeded to pull out that cheque (yet again) and McGregor said:

"That's for the tax man".

Not a chance they were having their goose laughed at and mocked like that and so... mic cut.

Hope the rest of the pressers are better organised and more based around questions from the press than last night's speech format.

Showtime will release the amount of buys, it's usually only covering North America/Canada

What demographic are you talking about?

I thought he was much better than McGregor on the mic.

But to be honest Press conferences in general are bull****.

McGregor has nothing on Floyd to make him the bigger star, he hasnt won more, he hasnt brought in more money, he's not getting paid more than Floyd. He hasnt got a better record.

He literally has nothing on Floyd that he can claim to be better on. Maybe filing his tax returns.

Don't think you have to be a pro boxer for it it be unacceptable to hit a woman....

Its more unacceptable in my mind for anyone who earns a living punching people to hit anyone, never mind hitting a woman.

No man should hit a woman obviously.

They were both Sh1te.

Malinaggi and Schaub talking about the fight before hand was more entertaining.

I don't think that he was making this point.

But let's not make out that there can never be a time/justification in hitting a woman...or hitting someone smaller and less durable/strong/capable than yourself.

This proves Conor could say anything and his following will think he is hilarious. None of that is funny in any way .

Neither was Floyd although he can stuff that Conor will just have to take.

I expected better from McGregor but it just shows what a farce of a fight this is
