Even Dana wasn't his usual red faced self. And he forgot to introduce Conor.

And Leonard Ellerbe normally cant stop smiling at these events but at that presser looked like he was at a funeral.

Great interview. One thing about Conor is how good he is with media, its amazing how someone with no formal training or screen work is such a natural at it. He's a media person's wet dream, every time he opens his mouth is a soundbite and a good one at that, and he rarely repeats himself.

What's the view on Wayne McCullough?

Is he bullsh1tting porkie telling? One interview he's appearing to give Conor no chance, as well as ramming it down our throats how Floyd is his buddy..

Then he's on Sky and suddenly Conor is going to win?

This interview was great, the side of Conor that mainstream Irish media should celebrate.

Seen this floating around on Reddit:

That's my favourite interview I've seen with him. I love when he talks about fighting, about competing in combat sports, his enthusiam and love for it is so infectious. I've got to admit, I laugh away at his thrash talk and his one liners and all that. I do. Its gas, he's a witty guy, but its often cringe worthy. But I like him in spite of all that carry on, I like him on a personal level for his attitude towards fighting, he's a sporting competitor and a martial artist through to his bone marrow. Its great when that side of him can come across.

Excellent little promo from UFC.

Someone on here said that robin black was fired. Is that true? I know he was with fight network but not anymore, but did not think he was fired.

Do you mean the interview that was posted, where he went on about reaching out to Conor about sparring, and getting no reply?

Floyd having fun with the PP thing.

11pm Irish time tonight (Friday).

Byrd is really old. He's 74. Not saying that in an ageist way but he might be a tad slower than other ref's to get into the clinch to break them up.

The other part of that, and I'm not sure if it's age-related or not, but he let an awful amount of stuff go in the Ward-Kovalev fight that he didn't in earlier fights. There was tons of in-fighting and 'dirty' stuff in the clinch and he basically just let them at it.

If he ref's it the way he did that fight, then it's good news for Conor.

Muahahaha

Paulie was at Floyd's gym today apparently........ for a trolling cameo in the last episode of All Access no doubt.

For anyone who missed it, that was an incredible interview with Chris Eubank.

He literally quoted verbatim from memory the entire poems of 'If' by Rudyard Kipling and a tribute to Conor by reciting 'Invictus' by William Ernest Henley.

And there was something in there by Roosevelt on critics. Very good interview Ariel was blown away.:)

Wonder can conor come at him for breaching the NDA?? Paulie is a clown. Can understand Floyd using him here tho. although it does not reflect well on them in my mind. Doubt conor will care
