    Default Who won the biggest press conference in boxing history?

    I gave it to Floyd via split decision

    Round one for Mayweather. http://bit.ly/1Ann6PG

    The suit swung it for him. Freddie was a bit 'it's all about me'. Not letting Sr speak was a masterstroke.

    Personally, I like it when Manny's not predicting KOs.

    I would've given it to Mayweather, except Justin Bieber turned up. Guilty by association.

    Pac wins the press conference.

    Floyd nailed it, did you expect something else. Floyd is very comfortable speaking to reporters and the cameras, Manny does OK but he's not speaking his native language or as comfortable in front of the cameras as Floyd.
    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.

    while im not a fan of freddy making the fight about himself, he always speaks for manny. Its become part of the routine. Its not going to change now because its big money fight with a big mouth selling past an expiration date. The guy went into training the second it was made. Hes not thinking about press conferences. If he can talk on Jimmy kimmel, he's not afraid to talk here. Its just not what he does for fights except when he's had to because his opponent spoke worse english or had no stage presence (marquez, cotto, margarito). He was happy to let bradley, algieri, rios make all the noise they wanted.

    Personally, when it comes to talk about a fight. Points to the guy who shows up dressed like a hitman, says little and is already training to do his talking in the ring, while the other guys making a fashion statement and still trying to bull$h*t people that "this fight couldn't have happened at a better time" . Does it mean anything in how the fight will play out.? Not likely but freddy was right when he said all the pressure was on floyd. Let floyd sell the fight, in addition to training, and whatever else he does. Mannys happy to just train I think.
    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.

    It does not matter, there will be a rematch press conference and then another and another one after that.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    The winner was anyone who didn't watch. So I was the loser.

    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.

    If Floyd wasn't undefeated I could believe it.

    My brother phoned me up to tell me the press conference could be watched live. He thought there may be some controversy to watch, like arguing or even some kind of fight.

    I said nothing will happen it will be boring, they will be loving each other because they are about to make each other and all there teams very, very rich. I didnt bother watching it.

    The fight does not excite me. In fact, I bet more people in here would be more excited about a Wilder v Fury fight.
