You are gullible of you don't realise how much Floyd needs to be in control.

Floyd was in control, but to believe that McGregor turned up, not having a clue what was going to happen is naive in the extreme.

Lets see the boys get a bit more personal tonight, Mayweather calling out North Dublin

Floyd via DQ

Don't know much about boxing tbh and am only hearing about the Mayweather women beating stories now. If true the guy is a total scumbag and i hope McGregor stomps his head into the canvas. No excuse for anyone to lay a hand on a woman but a pro boxer doing that is the height of being an utter toerag.

Actually surprised McGregor didn't pass comment on it last last.

McGregor I have to admit got to Floyd, that could be where he hurts him the most & Floyd comes out like the wild bunch.

He really didn't get to him though...

yeah I'm not sure where people think McGregor got to him last night.

There is no doubt McGregor got all antsy at the Mr Tapout. I'm sure Floyd will go with the once a quitter always a quitter route sooner rather than later

McGregor can only mention things that Mayweather is pre okayed.

I'm fully convinced if there wasn't cameras on the two of them they would be holding hands, skipping and dancing in circles over this con they have managed to put together.

I think some lads are just looking for a "win" and it's suits them to say McGregor ****ed with Mayweather when in truth there was nothing in it.McGregor looked and sounded nervous or a bit off.
He needs to get it right as it's the only really thing that he can do to or he will end up just being the sideshow.

Are they all going to be the same format as last night does anyone know? Or will there be an open Q&A like in the UFC? I don't watch boxing so I can't really judge if last night's was just particularly bad but a whole press tour without an open discussion or back and forth is fairly pointless, surely Floyd cannot be that afraid to get into an open war of words with Conor.

He said himself the format was different to what he was expecting and there were some sneaky moves from the Mayweather camp.

See this is what I cant understand, why would anyone think McGregor is better at trash talk? there is little evidence to suggest it BUT if it was true he would surely dominate regardless of the "format". Does he now need an excuse for his press conferences being poor?

There is plenty of evidence, it's all on youtube. Mayweather has been good at the trash talk in the past, but there is no one better at it than Conor.

Well because he is? He is far superior at rebuttals and generally sharper.

I'm not so sure Burial, I hope Floyd doesn't get sucked in to McGregor's BS.

Against Mayweather? Where? Why wasn't he good last night?

He was terrible and to be honest as stated before in this thread I really thought he would bring something to the Press conferences.

He's at a major disadvantage, in the UFC he can claim to be the best and be the draw but he's a side attraction in a boxing match and he knows it. He knows he cant claim to be a better boxer. He's going on about knocking Mayweather out, but frankly no one believes him.

Not sure why so....his behavior-persona at most of these type of events is the exact same.

McGregor is saying within 4 and for anyone who knows Floyd will know this is where he has worked out his opponent and ups the gears.

I hope McGregor just doesn't make a show of himself here and just be in this for the cash reward.

ah be fair now to McGregor most of his press events have at least been entertaining, he was good against Aldo really got to him. Diaz and himself were more of the street thug v street thug mentality that wasnt very eloquent but had some entertainment value as you thought it might kick off.

Can't agree. Last night was nothing like any of his previous press conferences . It was flat

It's a real pity the UFC aren't organising the press this week. Showtime/Mayweather looking amateur.

Because his UFC act is a ripoff of Floyds money persona. He could hardly use the material that hes robbed off Floyd on Floyd haha. He doesn't have more money than Floyd, he isn't the star attraction, Floyd isn't only making money because of McGregors name.

I was a bit surprised to find everyone saying that went well for Mayweather, I thought he seemed a bit overwhelmed when he first came to the mike. He got better, but he was just saying pre planned phrases. McGregor rambled, he could have cut that speech in half, towards the end it was like watching the talker at a wedding just rambling with no sign of an exit.

I think the real talk happened at the staredown at the end, McGregor said some things that seemed to really get under Mayweather's skin and annoy him. I think that's stage one in Conor's plan achieved, he's in Mayweather's head now.

Sound was really bad on all the streams I found. Was hard to make out what was being said.

Agreed. The whole format was alien to him. Also, given the fact that he wasn't told how the event will pan out meant he looked clueless (rightly so) most of the time.

Those first few mins on stage with McGregor were cringy to watch. Like turning up to a party fashionably late, only to realise you're the only bastard there.

He can get in his head all he wants...its not going to change the result. Biggest issue will be avoiding the coverage of this press tour..

I dont agree with this at all. I think there is literally nothing he can say that would annoy Mayweather .

The sound was bad, the cameras skipped mcgregors walk out. they accidently played mayweathers song for 1 second during conors song. the camera on mayweathers walk out was brutal aswell. whoever was doing sound and camera control was probably fired today. the whole conference was done terribly but Conor definitely got to mayweather last night. if he didnt his dad wouldnt have had to crash his press conference after.

Mayweather is no dummy,. He has to know how easy a payday this is. There is no getting under anyone's skin here. This is all staged and scripted by the two teams. They both make a heap of cash by cooperation. It's that simple. We, the gullible public provide that cash.
