Tom Taylor - July 13, 2017
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.
