Mayweather V McGregor: Toronto Press Conference:

Huge support for 'The Notorious' one.

Toronto was our venue for the second pre fight press conference between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor as part of a week of action. A fierce back and forth between the pair was on show last night at the Staples Centre in California, as both men squared off and met face to face for the first time. McGregor highlighted Mayweather's choice of 10oz gloves and his reluctance to step into the MMA world, while Mayweather produced a cheque worth $100 million and told how he was the 'A side'. Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza released a statement before the the second press conference, confronting the claim that Conor McGregor's microphone was cut off, completely confirming how any interference with any microphone was unintentional.

After news broke of Mayweather's delay in Toronto traffic, both men finally took to the stage at 11:55 Irish time. There was a clear favour for 'The Notorious' Conor McGregor from the surrounding Canadian crowd. A stern look on the face of the UFC Lightweight champion greeted the Toronto fans  as a new promo for Floyd Mayweather aired. It was then 'Money' Mayweather's time to make his walk to the main stage, once again surrounded by his entourage. Both men engaged in a hugely intense staredown, with Dana White eventually seperating both. Before Conor took his seat, he was informed that "your mics are working today". Brian Custer was first to the podium to welcome the members of the "6" to the press conference. Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza then thanked the travelling crowd, but was greeted with a huge amount of jeers and boos from the hostile crowd. UFC President Dana White introduced Conor McGregor for the second time this week, with McGregor knocking the microphone from the podium, before exclaiming "does this microphone work". Before instructing the crowd to shout "Fuck the Mayweather's" before calling Stephen Espinoza a little weasel and a bitch. McGregor continued his onslaught, calling Floyd an old weak bitch, and once more told Mayweather to "dance" for him. McGregor urged Mayweather to come and take the mic from him, but got no reaction from Floyd. McGregor then referenced his December 2015 win over José Aldo, before telling how Mayweather's head was simply too small, before calling the Detroit man "boxing's biggest bitch". Leonard Ellerbe then took to the microphone to welcome his client Floyd Mayweather, who was faced with a big task to overcome the trash talk from McGregor so far, and the hostile Toronto crowd. Floyd was immediately welcomed with the chant of "pay your taxes", before telling McGregor "that the fans can't fight for you". Floyd then dared Conor to bet his whole fight cheque, with McGregor telling how he should just send over the contract. Mayweather the expressed his respect for UFC President Dana White, apologising for his previous dispute with White. Mayweather then took an Irish flag from the crowd and draped it over himself, before McGregor grabbed Mayweather's bag and produced a wad of cash, with McGregor threatening to attack Mayweather if he did anything to the flag. Both men then faced off for the second time, with both continuing their heated war of words. Second set to McGregor.
