Boxing and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fans had been asking for this fight, and finally, it was ON! At the first promotional/press meeting, Mayweather (favorite to win) and McGregor (underdog) were both confident and over the top. The conference is the first major promotional event for the upcoming fight. Fighters typically throw cuts and insults at their opponents to get under the competition’s skin; this press event was no exception. As Mayweather was finishing up his 10-minute verbal assault on McGregor, it became time to start the “showdown.”
