I remember being in Philippines back in April 2014 for a month and he had a fight with some pubber. It was treated like a world cup final. Funny thing is, not that many people liked him cos apparently hes a bit up himself, arrogant etc.

I didn't watch the fight, it was in the early hours and I had just come back from a night out so went to bed but the hotel had reserved us tickets to sit in front of the big screen they were showing the fight on in the lobby. Missed an experience but he was fighting some no name. Bradley whatever so didn't appeal to me or mates

So has anyone seen the Floyd Mayweather & Conor Macgregor press conference.

Pretty bad all round, you can tell its not a well oiled cohesive UFC conference with Dana leading the band, this was Mayweather and his stooge partners who don't know how to arrange a piss up in a brewery.

Mayweather eventually started doing ok on the back chat but it was awkward as hell and pretty cringe worthy.

Hopefully the pressers get better.

It was like a Giraffe trying to mate with a Shetland pony ......... awkward and just wrong.

Yea I saw it. It was a bit weird at first. Can only get better though I hope. Connor talking about Floyds apparent tax problems was predictable.

Someone posted an up close picture of Connors suit, and the pinstripes were actually the words f**k You. Hahaha!!

Just saw the press conference, pretty shite. Worst part was definitely Floyd ridiculing McGregor because he "only" made 3 million his last fight and the crowd not responding to it for obvious reasons.

You see how everyone has reacted to the press conference, pretty shit, awkward, cringe etc.

In just over a month's time, everyone will be saying the same thing about the actual fight.

All spectacle, no substance.

PPV cost for the fight is $100 as well. I ain't paying that, it's either watch it at a place that is airing it or at a friends that wants to fork out that cash for it.

Yep.

Just waiting for all the mugs who expect a competitive fight/Conor to win to cry about paying $100 for a farce.

Stream or watch at a friend's/pub/bar.

Absolute scenes if Conor somehow wins.

Should be universally recognized as King of the world.
