The second stop of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor World Tour touched down in Toronto and to say both fighters have gotten comfortable with the format would be an understatement. Part one in Los Angeles lacked a bit of sizzle, partially because no one bothered to tell Conor McGregor it would be a presentation style format instead of answering questions like he does at UFC events.
In Toronto, McGregor came prepared with a truck load of cutting one liners, attacking Floyd on everything from his money trouble to rumors the former boxing world champion can’t read.
“They said I’m the motherf**ker that can’t read?” Mayweather retorted when it was his turn on the mic. “Bitch, I do numbers! I make money! You know my middle name, bitch!”

“You owe money!” McGregor cut in.
“If you believe in yourself like you say you believe in yourself, bet your whole fight check, bitch!” Mayweather responded.
“No f**king problem!” McGregor said. “Send the contract here, it’s done.”
The fun part about having four press conferences in four days is this won’t be the last we hear of the bet. The media is going to keep asking Floyd and Conor about this, and considering the egos behind both of them, maybe something will come of this bluster. Regardless, it’s bluster at its most entertaining. Anyone who tuned in to watch this part of the Mayweather vs. McGregor World Tour was not left feeling shortchanged.
