Conor McGregor’s Trash Talk Broke Fox Sports’ Feed As A Host Got Caught In A Robe


Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather held their first press conference on Tuesday in front of a massive crowd at Staples Center in Los Angeles as the back-and-forth that had been going on for months on Twitter and video interviews finally became a face-to-face confrontation.

As expected, the two spent most of their time at the podium throwing verbal jabs at the other, with McGregor doing his best to antagonize Mayweather by poking fun at his size, reported money issues due to tax debt, and more — even his suit said “F*ck You” on the stitching.

Considering McGregor’s pension for using expletives regularly and the fact that Fox Sports covers UFC fights all the time, they were ready with the dump button but the video feed wouldn’t cooperate.

Rather than cutting their losses and holding onto a black screen or the color bars for a moment, they decided to try and cut live to the studio to a pair of unsuspecting hosts, one of which was just hanging out in her robe.

Ah, the magic of live television. The poor host was hung out to dry here. She’s just trying to keep warm in a cold studio and suddenly gets thrown on camera with no warning. They’d have been better off leaving it on the color bars screen or just black and lived with the technical difficulties.
