    His hands will be rockets for MMA after all the boxing training as well.

    Conor being able to wear any brand apparel for the fight is mega. The millions that will be thrown at him to wear a pair of shorts is gonna be crazy.

    He could pick some things up, like a more effective jab, but he could also pick up bad habbits for MMA.

    Stephen Espinoza (Showtime CEO):

    "There will be a World Tour (pressers) late June/early July. Won't be as big as the Canelo Tour (11 cities) but will be a number of cities".

    Wonder what venue they'll pick for Dublin? I honestly think they'd fill the Aviva for a presser.

    Will they definitely come to Dublin ?? I wouldn't be surprised if the tour stays stateside only.

    Surely if the UFC were negotiation on his behalf that it would be Reebok? Mayweather wears their shoes already.

    His Reebok deal lapsed. He can wear Nike/Underarmour/whatever he wants for this fight.

    I imagine they are playing hardball with Reebok. It'd be a disaster for them if he walks out in Nike, so they're going to have to pony up the money. Probably $5 million.

    Doesn't stop him from signing a big 1 fight deal with someone else.

    But to have him in anything but Reebok for an outing outside MMA? Surely that would look bad for the brand.

    I wonder if any lessons would be learned from the 189 press conference in the Convention Centre.

    I highly doubt it. Another **** show awaits.

    Are they going to use a boxing coach? Has this been mentioned yet?

    Conor doesn't need Artem, he's gonna walk through Mayweather in 3rds, total mismatch

    No other coaches brought in, no outside perspective, hubris in the extreme. And if Kavanagh says afterwards that this is another learning experience I'm going to lose it.

    Funnily enough, Jeff Mayweather is Big Countries boxing coach.

    Floyd Sr is his head trainer, but at this stage Floyd Jr pretty much trains himself.
