The second stop on the world tour to promote the superfight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor put the two fighters face to face again and, this time, the Irishman used the majority of the crowd present in his favor to provoke the North American who, even with a shirt with Canadian details, was unable to attract fans, who booed his speech and some of your answers.

The duel, which takes place on August 26th, almost started earlier than expected, when McGregor got excited with executives from Showtime, the company responsible for publicizing the superfight. The Irishman accused the company of turning off his microphone during the first press conference and, when swearing at Mayweather, almost attacked the American. He also remembered the duel against José Aldo when talking about his chances against the boxer.
“You all at Showtime are s…You want to make me uncomfortable. But they forget that I'm my best when I'm uncomfortable. Toronto, I love this city. The last time I came here was also on a world tour, when I was going to face the then best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. At that time, they also said that I had no chance. “Ah, he has very powerful kicks, different weapons, you don’t have a chance.” I went there and knocked out José Aldo in 13 seconds. I’m going to do the same to that idiot’s little head,” said McGregor.
But things really heated up when Floyd started talking. Upon seeing that he was being booed by most of the fans present in Toronto, the boxer took an Irish flag and wrapped himself in it, provoking McGregor. The UFC lightweight champion then grabbed a backpack full of Mayweather's money and said he would attack the American if he did anything with the Irish symbol. In the face after the speeches, there was more swearing and provocation between the two, which had to be separated by Dana White and Leonard Ellerbe, president of Mayweather Promotions.
