Yesterday (July 11, 2017), Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor met face-to-face for the first time in Los Angeles to promote their upcoming Aug. 26 boxing match.

To no surprise, the trash talk was evident, but the back-and-forth banter between the two stars that fans had been hoping for was lacking, and that was due mainly in part to McGregor’s microphone being shut off after he tried to respond to Mayweather.

Showtime, who will promote the event on pay-per-view, released a statement (Via MMAFighting.com) soon after the event claiming that the network did McGregor’s microphone was not shut off:

“At no point did Showtime or event productions cut any microphones intentionally during Tuesday’s kickoff event in Los Angeles. The point of this world tour is to let these superstars interact with the fans and with each other. Cutting their mics would go against our goal of delivering these fighters to the masses and letting their charismatic and entertaining personalities take center stage.”

Today (July 12, 2017), Mayweather and McGregor once again met, this time in Toronto, Canada. And unlike yesterday, McGregor had no problem speaking when he pleased, and he didn’t hold back with his mic time.

In fact, he walked right up to Stepehen Espinoza and unleashed on the Showtime executive:

“While we’re at it, f*ck Showtime too,” McGregor said. “You little weasel. Look at you you little f*cking weasel, I can see it in your eyes, you’re a f*cking bitch. Cut my mic off? Cut the champ’s mic off? Hell no. You f*cking weasel.”

The “Notorious” one continued on, claiming that Showtime was trying to catch him ‘off guard’:

“They’re trying to set me up at every turn out here,” McGregor said. “They’re trying to catch me off guard. … There is nothing they can do to faze me. Twenty-eight years of age, I’m getting fight checks and promoter checks. When Floyd was 28, he was on Oscar De La Hoya’s undercard.”

What did you make of round two of the Mayweather vs. McGregor world tour?

Conor McGregor: Floyd Mayweather Is ‘Boxing’s Biggest B****’

The madness that is the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. World Tour continued on today (Tues. July 12, 2017).

The madness that is the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. World Tour continued on today (Tues. July 12, 2017).

Yesterday the action got started at the Staples Center from Los Angeles, California, where McGregor fired shots at “Money’s” financial woes and wardrobe. Mayweather fired back by flaunting his un-cashed $100 million check and boasting about his undefeated 49-0 record inside the squared circle.

McGregor was unable to respond to any of Mayweather’s verbal shots, however, as his mic was mysteriously shut off during “Money’s” time on stage. Today was a much different story.

The UFC lightweight champ opened things up by firing shots at both Mayweather and Showtime Sports executive Stephen Espinoza. McGregor called Espinoza a ‘weasel’ and a ‘b*tch’ after claiming that he shut his mic off during the first presser in attempt to silence the brash Irishman’s gift of gab. He then shifted his attention to Mayweather, who he proceeded to label ‘boxing’s biggest b*tch’:

“I just want to speak to all the boxing pu**ies, all the supposed experts,” McGregor said. “You’re f*cking crazy if you think this man stands a chance. His head is too small! One shot is all it takes me, check the facts, I bounce heads off the canvas and dribble that sh*t! He tip-tap-toes to a decision. He has never even fought a day in his life. He’s a runner. He’s boxing’s biggest b*tch!”

Mayweather and McGregor will go one-on-one in the center of the boxing ring live on Showtime pay-per-view (PPV) from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada next month (Sat. August 26, 2017).

Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather Trade Expletive-Filled Rants in Toronto Presser

The press tour for the Aug. 26 clash between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor rolled on Wednesday at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto, where Money and The Notorious sparred with more smack talk as hype continued to percolate in advance of the megafight. 

But unlike Tuesday in Los Angeles, the two didn’t waste any time getting in each other’s faces. 

The jawing commenced immediately after introductions wrapped up, and expletives were flying left and right, as Yahoo Sports’ Kevin Iole and MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani explained: 

Fox Sports UFC relayed video of the intense moment: 

Once pleasantries had been exchanged, McGregor snagged the mic and took aim at Mayweather and Showtime. 

Not only did McGregor implore the pro-Notorious crowd to chant “F–k the Mayweathers,” but he also called Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza a “bitch” and a “weasel” after he alleged the network cut his microphone out Tuesday. 

The UFC lightweight champion also continued to harp on Mayweather’s status as an over-the-hill contender who won’t be able to hang once they enter the ring at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

When Floyd was 28, he was on the Oscar De La Hoya undercard, and that’s just facts,” he said. “Floyd is an old weak bitch.” (Warning: Video contains NSFW language.)

Mayweather, of course, was armed with plenty of responses, even as he approached the podium to jeers of “Pay your taxes” in hostile territory. 

“One thing we do know,” Mayweather said, “the f–king fans can’t fight for you.” 

Mayweather later clapped back at McGregor for attacking his wallet, this time challenging him to bet his portion of the purse on the outcome of the fight. 

“No f–king problem,” McGregor said. “Send the contract here, it’s done.”

And while the undefeated 40-year-old drew McGregor’s ire for allegedly being past his prime, he spent a good portion of his time chiding the Irishman for having losses, including a tapout, on his resume. 

“We already know this bitch right here, he likes to quit,” Mayweather added before draping himself in an Irish flag. “Real killers don’t quit.”

But when all was said and done, the day belonged to McGregor, who fed off a raucous crowd and put on a better show in The Six, as several observers noted: 

The international tour of trash talk will resume Wednesday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and come to a close Thursday at SSE Arena in London.

Conor McGregor Tells Floyd Mayweather to ‘Dance for Me, Boy’ for 2nd Time

During the second leg of a four-day worldwide press tour Wednesday, Conor McGregor doubled down on one of his controversial comments directed at Floyd Mayweather Jr.        

TMZ Sports passed along video of McGregor telling Mayweather to “dance for me, boy” as the crowd in Toronto did the “ole” chant (warning contains NSFW language):

McGregor received criticism for making the same comment during Tuesday’s press conference in Los Angeles, with Yahoo Sports’ Ryan McKinnell offering this take:

Floyd Mayweather Sr. told TMZ Sports he didn’t see anything wrong with McGregor’s initial comment: “Racist? I don’t know what that got to do with race. This is a boxing match. I don’t know what that got to do with no racists.”

This isn’t the first time McGregor has been accused of making insensitive comments to build up a fight. In February 2016, he caught heat for remarks made at a press conference leading up to his first match with Nate Diaz. 

Mayweather and McGregor will continue their press conference tour with stops in New York on Thursday and London on Friday.

Conor McGregor Tells Floyd Mayweather He’d Be ‘Dead in 20 Seconds’ in Real Fight

UFC star Conor McGregor has told Floyd Mayweather he would be “dead in twenty seconds” if he fought the Irishman in a real fight.

He made the comments during the first leg of the press tour to hype their upcoming bout on August 26. The UFC uploaded video of the testy exchange (around the 9:09 mark) (warning: video contains NSFW language):

The two will come face-to-face four times during the press tour, which will travel from Los Angeles to Toronto, Brooklyn and London. 

As expected, the Notorious didn’t hold back during the first stop in L.A., making numerous references to Mayweather’s supposed tax problems. According to legal website Law360 (h/t ESPN.com’s Darren Rovell), Money has asked for a reprieve on unpaid taxes from 2015 until after the fight.

Per radio presenter Michael Stets, Mayweather took the many references to heart:

While Money is the overwhelming favourite to win the bout―he has a perfect 49-0 record in the ring and has faced multiple future Hall of Famers, whereas McGregor has no professional boxing experience―most pundits would likely agree the Notorious would fare better in a “real fight.”

The UFC lightweight champion has the fearsome power and standup game to go with solid ground work, even if he’s better known for his knockouts. Whether that power will translate to the boxing ring remains to be seen.
