    I liked the respect they gave to each other.
    Of course, the high point was when Justin Bieber showed up! Thank goodness he arrived in time for the lineup, I know we were were all worried he wouldn't make it.
    Floyd's voice sounded pretty shaky to me. He's lucky no one asked him to read.

    I thought Floyd was very considered, he seemed to labour through his points as though he was conscious of not saying anything controversial or inflammatory.

    The whole thing could have done with a bit of WWE! Just a hint mind.

    Give it a few weeks. Floyd will start talking more garbage if the general feeling is that the fight isn't selling optimally. Nationalistic, personal, racial insults...whatever it takes.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Mayweather often sounds a bit wobbly, but he's as cool as a cucumber once that bell starts for round one and that's the important thing. Sometimes people forget how stressful public speaking can be and I don't think it gets any easier just because you are Floyd Mayweather and have lots of money. Mayweather is sometimes a punk and says silly things, but under pressure and in the moment anyone would do the same.

    This is why press conference mean nothing about how the fight will play out.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
