Conor has to be able to reply to floyd. They can't cut his mic. And now that he knows, he will be better prepared. LA to Floyd tho!

Floyd keeps repeating himself like he's gotta write a 1000 word essay, but ran out of material at 500 words.

Both men had a chance to take the mic and address the crowd as well as each other.
McGregor made sure to mention Mayweather’s recent IRS troubles, while “Money” pulled out a $100 million check to make his case that he’s far from broke.
The two got into a heated stare down where both men jawed at each other for minutes until finally being separated.
Today’s press conference was in Los Angeles, while the tour will continue in Toronto next, then on to Brooklyn and London for the weekend.
Mayweather and McGregor will finally step into the ring on August 26 in an highly anticipated boxing match between the best boxer and one of the best mixed martial artists of all time.
