Four press conferences, in four days, in four different cities, the Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor media tour came to an end in London.

The night before, in New York City, McGregor had floundered, making a series of controversial comments in a night that many saw as something of a victory for Mayweather.

But in London, buoyed by the support of a large number of noisy Irish fans, McGregor enjoyed the better of the verbal exchanges at the Wembley Arena.

He taunted Mayweather and just about every member of his entourage, before once again telling Mayweather that he will win their August 26 super-fight within four rounds.

Mayweather then stood up to give his speech, but was drowned out by the sound of the London crowd, who were very much in McGregor’s corner.

Both men took part in a brief Q&A session before the press conference ended, although a hoarse Mayweather struggled to answer any questions.
