Floyd doesn't want 8oz gloves, just like he doesn't really want 4oz gloves.

yup they were both loving it, they know its alll about that money win are lose
He's used 8's most of his career and just opened his mouth. It's possible even if unlikely.

You mean hard work
Well it's good people are getting used to saying this. The practice will help come fight night.

Was expecting some Q&A with the press. Guess not
He also said he'll step foot in the Octagon. Floyd is full of shit.

I have so much more appreciation for UFC press conferences now. That was cringe worthy. No mics, then mics, then cutting off mcgregors mic and the old dudes just sounding boring as hell....
Not really, everyone that's not a total mark knows the fight itself will be a wash. I wanted some crazy shit talking fuckery, this was like maybe 10 mins of each saying some lines, then it was over. Cutting Conor's mic was lame too.

Let's get two trash talkers in a press conference and make it so they can't respond to each other. That'll be HUGE!
Obviously but if I was Conor's team I'd take a stab at getting them.
Seriously what is Showtime thinking?

1-1. Rubber match at Wrestlemania.
Conor calling Floyd boy and I see what he's doing there. Don't like what he's doing there but I get it. This was a quality press conference as both worlds are clashing. This is a boxing match helmed by a boxing promotion so why would the UFC host it? I love the shit talking from both sides Floyd has history on his side. Floyd's competed at a high boxing level for over 20+ years so it's hard to take Conor's talk seriously.
This won't be an easy fight for Floyd because he's old and retired for years. Conor can pull off an upset but we'll see how it goes.
Floyd needs to stretch this fight out as long as possible but avoid it going 12 rounds because Conor could win on decision.

My mate as 5g on Conner, he knows absolutely nothing about boxing.

I could not disagree more, Floyd appreciates that he doesn't have to sell this fight on his own, and can get nine figures in what will likely be a relatively easy fight. Don't buy the bullshit narrative, this is just two guys putting on a show and cashing out.
What a pity because Conner will obviously lose.

Conor was at a loss for words. And looked soft as fuck talking about his baby. Reminds me of when Fedor got all religious and fell off. I think the magnitude of this fight overwhelmed him. He looked super uncomfortable out there. Floyd already had the edge in skill, but seems like he also has the mental edge. But I guess I can't really blame Conor. Unlike every fight he's had so far, this is the first where even he probably believes he has no chance. How can you exude that usual overconfidence and shittalk, knowing you can't back it up?
So, Floyd saying he'd fight in 4oz gloves if Conor wanted it. Is this a case of knowing they can't change it now, even if both fighters agree to it?

No, this is another case of Floyd running his mouth in public and not ever intending on following through. He also said today that it didn't matter if it was in the octagon or in the ring, which everyone knows is bullshit

Connor can win everything, but lose nothing. He is getting paid but if this was a true fight, Floyd would be headkicked unconscience in 2 seconds flat.

Yeah you know, it would be a little embarrassing if the alleged pound for pound best boxer alive with an undefeated 49-0 record can't knock out someone who has never boxed in his life before.
It'd be sad if he fought to win on points.
Anyway, Conor wins either way. This fight is the biggest win he's ever gonna get.
Conor has never been knocked out before and Floyd's fists are weak, he hasn't knocked anyone out in ages.
Conor has also never fought a pro boxer.

But floyd as also faced world class opponents that wont easily fall for floyds traps so easily.
Id say McGregor is alot likely to walk onto somthing than is last 49 opponents.
Lmao was he fuck. He just wasn't use to how the press conference was going to work he thought it would be more back and forth between the fighters like they do in MMA PC's. Also they cut his mic when he wanted to respond to Floyd.

I actually enjoyed the conference and I'm surprised how well Mayweather did up there.
Hope they get a proper Q&A going in one of the other shows.

Conor talking about his baby is weak? What about Floyd literally and seriously thanking Conor and his team for the match in the middle of his supposed trash talking? lol
Yeah Conor is the one with a huge disadvantage here.
I do have my doubts about Conor getting knocked out, but we'll see. My prediction is a 12-round borefest with Floyd cruising his way to winning on points.
Revisionist bullshit. They didn't tell Conor he'd be giving a speech, he had to improvise on the fly.
The Conor hate here is so desperate. At least tell the truth.

Mayweather did well up there ? He just made up a bunch of crap.
4oz? 8oz? GTFO with that 💩

How is Conor going to touch Floyd? I'm still waiting.
Also 8oz against DLH and DLH made him wear Clito Reyes rather than his usual Grants (IIRC)
He'll call the tax man.

This was weak because Conor can't really go to his "this is your biggest payday", "you're lucky I chose you", "bring out the red panties we're rich baby" gold mine against Floyd. Everything Conor boasts about Floyd already did it last decade.

I wish people wouldn't fall for this shit.
But looking at this thread, people clearly are.
GGG Vs. Canelo and Jones Vs Cormier are the fights that matter.

I wonder if Uncle Rog is doing alright. I haven't seen floyd doing mitt work for this fight. Uncle Rog's health failing him?How is Conor going to touch Floyd? I'm still waiting.
