Whether you thought it was exciting, or a little over the top, you can’t deny that Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather’s four-city press tour, which stopped in LA, Toronto, Brooklyn and London, was big. The tour drew out upward of 50,000 fans and generated countless headlines. The tour was also very exclusive. Tickets were expensive, and they weren’t easy to get even if you could afford them. Media credentials were also pretty difficult to acquire. Backstage access, finally, was as locked down as Area 51. The inner workings of these tour stops were only accessible to members of the two fighters’ teams, the promoters, and the crew.

Last night, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and “The Notorious” Conor McGregor touched down in Toronto, Ontario Canada for the second stop of their headline-generating world press tour. While many fans and pundits felt like Mayweather was the quicker man on the mic during the tour’s first stop in Los Angeles, the consensus in the wake of Toronto event is that McGregor came out on top in a big way. Over the course of the event, McGregor repeatedly lambasted his foe, even getting the crowd to shout “fuck the Mayweathers,” and throwing an Irish flag on Mayweather’s head with sharpshooter accuracy. That said, McGregor also found himself in a bit of hot water, as several pockets of the combat sports world thought his repeatedly referring to Mayweather as “boy” was veiled in racism.

Last night, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor touched down in Toronto for the second stop of their world press tour. While many fans felt that Mayweather came out on top in the tour’s first stop in Los Angeles, the consensus seems to be that McGregor dominated his foe on the mic in Toronto. He even got the crowd of 15,000 fans to scream “fuck the Mayweathers.” Despite being the victim of what is widely considered a verbal beatdown, however, Mayweather assured the media post-fight that he’s not upset with McGregor.

The Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor mega money fight is set to take place on August 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and ticket prices have just been announced. The two biggest draws from the sports of boxing and mixed martial arts will meet in the center of the boxing ring as the two combat sports superstars will look to put on the richest fight in history as they look to break records of Mayweather’s previous 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao.

Conor McGregor is already one of the highest-paid stars fighting in the UFC and could potentially make more in this single boxing match against Floyd Mayweather than he has in his entire mixed martial arts career. UFC President Dana White stated early on when negotiations were still going on that he estimated with his predicted numbers on how the fight sells, “The Notorious” would likely make around $75 million and Mayweather would make over $100. McGregor believes he will make over $100 million given that White’s estimates were based on conservative numbers for how the fight sells and didn’t include endorsements and his other business ventures that are tied to the mega money boxing match.

When Conor McGregor steps into the boxing ring with Floyd Mayweather on August 26, he’ll be short on advantages. One clear advantage he does have, however, is his age. He’s a relative fresh 28, while Mayweather is now 40 years old. During the Los Angeles stop of the Mayweather-McGregor world press tour, Mayweather spoke candidly about his age, and how it’s effecting his training. Apparently, training camp is taking its toll on his battered body.

Last night, at a crowded press conference inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather met for the first time. It was entertaining affair, highlighted by some memorable trash talk and a fairly intense staredown. The staredown, of course, would have been much more enjoyable if we could have heard what the two fighters were saying to each other. Luckily, McGregor broke down the exchange in a post-fight chat with Ariel Helwani.

Monday afternoon, reports surfaced that undefeated boxing icon Floyd Mayweather petitioned the US Tax Court for a 3-month agreement to pay off his 2015 taxes, asking for the IRS to allow him to pay after his August 26th scrap with Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor was quick to fire back at Mayweather over the incident, saying that Mayweather should have paid his taxes and stayed retired. Mayweather has now broken his silence on the matter now, releasing a lengthy statement on Instagram:
