The first press conference for the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing match is in the books.
On Tuesday, the two combat sports superstars met in Los Angeles to address the media together for the first time. The press conference was the first of four stops in their international world tour, promoting their boxing match that’s set to go down on Aug. 26 in Las Vegas. It didn’t take long for both fighters to trade verbal jabs and take shots at each other.
Below is how the pros in the MMA community reacted to the historical press conference:

Conor has to be able to reply to floyd. They can't cut his mic. And now that he knows, he will be better prepared. LA to Floyd tho!
— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) July 11, 2017
How can you cut the mans mic
— Tatiana Suarez (@TSPMMA115) July 11, 2017
They made a huge mistake cutting Conor's mic. Let that man sell some PPV's. #MayMac

I'm sure it was great in person but TV and audio was horrible. Mainly because of the language but the price you pay for live TV. #MayMac
