Mayweather - McGregor news conferences ‘pantomime'
The recent Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor media tour was “like wrestling”, says 鶹 boxing pundit Steve Bunce.
Former five-weight world champion Mayweather traded insults with UFC lightweight title holder McGregor in front of media and fans in four cities around the world last week.
However, Bunce was not convinced that the hatred exhibited by both sides was genuine.
"It was pantomime. It was old school, old style wrestling,” he said. “We saw 50 minutes and I swear they were winking at each other up in that ring."
