im just wondering are the boxing press conferences set-up to hyp up the fights?

Yes basically and to increase viewing numbers.

"Press" = newspaper writers and photographers

Writing + Photos on websites and newspaper = Hype.

oh.. sorry didnt mean to patronize you.

Well some say its staged some say its not, the fighters themselves probably know starting some shit is gonna land them some more fame so they probably do it just to show off alot of the time.
