    You missed nothing, it was delayed for ages. Conor came out in a fur coat and proceeded to give shout outs to rappers and claim he is half black - from the waist down and insult black women..he had very little else of interest to say. Floyd threw a load of dollar bills at him and called him a bitch. They did a fake scuffle on stage..people couldnt hear the audio and were pissed off. The end..

    I heard the audio just fine. it went....

    Conor: What you doing after the show?
    Floyd: Nothing just chilling in my room.
    Conor: Want to head out throw money at some hoes?
    Floyd: Sure but aint you married?
    Conor: She wont find out me and Dee were like that (cross fingers)
    Floyd: I said the same until I had to beat my B'***h.

    It's more like getting the Times or Indo in to commuter friendly tabloid format. It's aimed at early morning commute reading, that's the only reason it's in tabloid size. It's a reputable, well respected news source.

    Fair enough, it just screams the Sun etc as you mentioned. He was being pulled up on his post for trolling and being uncivil regardless.

    I think Conor was on fire last night because he was genuinely angry with Showtime/Mayweather etc......tonight felt like he had to try and put on a show and it failed!

    The fight will still sell no matter what,the people who hate the thoughts of such a bout will still talk and tell everyone why it's terrible....and still watch it!Them lads are winning no matter how bad their slagging gets.

    He seems like he's been badly advised.

    I actually think that's the opposite of the problem tbh.

    He's got so far by doing the mini-floyd impression that nobody has questioned it, his lack of media coaching is super evident at times, he's not badly advised, he's just not seeking or taking advice.

    Ah yeah, not questioning that at all, like I said, just questioning the source being legit or not ;)

    I'm actually amazed/astounded at how this press conference seemed to go down online with the under 20 age-range.

    They're all raving about it! Saying the first 2 pressers were crap but this one was epic?!!?

    I feel like I've slipped into an alternate universe.

    It certainly was not an attempt at trolling. I was merely voicing an opinion that I am quite sure many others reading and/or contributing to this thread are thinking.

    At least they'll be saving their money, they're the smart ones. Anyone who actually pays to watch this needs their head examined.

    By tomorrow, all the bad stuff from the presser will be forgotten and pretty much two things will be remembered.....

    McGregor wore a polar bear and told the crowd he was half black.
    Floyd rained dollar bills down on him while wearing a pair of wedges.

    I'll watch it in a pub having a pint. There's no way I'd pay for it.

    You were responded to via pm - if you have more to discuss on the matter take it there.

    That's actually hilarious! I thought they were just a normal pair of runners at first glance, the state of the two of them at this point with their use of heels and lifts :D

    The truth is probably still that there is an inch in it in McGregor's favour, as the tale of the tape says.

    Floyd looked slightly taller tonight, take off them shoes and Conor is probably an inch taller imo

    Wonder did you get a freeze frame of who Conor lunged at in the Roddy vlog?

    McGregor often wears shoes with a good heel on them to look taller.

    6/1 for the fight not to go ahead is looking more and more like a decent bet. If Conor continues to walk this thin line he's on with race there'll be protests and an organised campaign against Showtime and sponsors. With a 100m on the line he needs to wake up here, this isn't Rio where he can get away with edgy material against Aldo.

    He's under the microscope there now, if TMZ and Twitter start digging up some of the stuff he said to Aldo, Diaz and Siver he could soon be on thin ice. You'd think his management, agents, coaches would have a word no?

    Toronto had plenty of funny moments without ever coming across too cynical.

    Brooklyn had dark, sinister undertones.

    It was as if they tried to compete to see who is the bigger arsehole.

    The *only* positive I can find is it might reduce expectations for London and right now that's a good thing.

    lol not a hope this fight getting pulled. there's just too much money for the people involved. this isn't some tech startup in san francisco, nobody cares if people are offended. it's a one-off fight, get the free publicity, get more PPVs and get out

    Didn't really get too many dark, sinister undertones. Just a **** show to borrow Dana's phrase

    It was awful with Floyd coming out on top (despite his own attempts to **** it up even) in a verbal battle, which is frankly incredible.

    Conor did what he does, it fell flat tonight, Floyd did what he does,it worked in parts tonight but really it was a race to the bottom from both men and the Irishman won that race
