If Floyd Mayweather won the first round of the Mayweather-McGregor World Tour, then Conor McGregor won round two 10-8. There would be no more mics mysteriously cutting out and no more playing nice for McGregor, who took on the Mayweather entourage, Showtime, and seemingly the entire sport of boxing as Dana White giggled himself a strange shade of pink.
And McGregor didn’t need a suit to say “f*ck you.” He did it himself.
Not only did McGregor dominate Mayweather in the trash talk department (the Irishman had 15,000 people in the palm of his hand), the crowd was completely behind him. Every time Mayweather went back to one of his catchphrases, he would be drowned out by boos. There was even a “UFC” chant. If that doesn’t say something about the state of boxing, I don’t know what does.
Just look at some of the madness from today. It seems like every single person out there agrees that McGregor destroyed Mayweather in their trash talk battle with two more press conferences to go.

Just got done watching the #MayMacWorldTour and @TheNotoriousMMA killed it. Expecting the last two conference's to be insane.

Floyd: "I make money."
Conor: "You owe money." #maymacworldtour— Paddy Power (@paddypower) July 12, 2017
McGregor just trashed Mayweather about being illiterate. That's got to be one of the deepest cuts you can hit someone with. #maymacworldtour

It's very possible that #McGregor will make me a believer by the end of this tour. #MayMacWorldTour

Watching the #maymacworldtour is probably the most entertaining thing I've seen in a while

If these press conferences are the pinnacle of the fight, then so be it. They’re free, and they’ve been damn entertaining. Worth the $100 already.
