The second of the 4 McGregor Mayweather media conferences took place in Toronto last night and it didn't disappoint. 

Conor McGregor was first up following a speech from Showtime vice-president Stephen Espinoza. He walked on stage with high-spirits encouraging the audience to taunt the Mayweathers. Next on his list of victims was Espinoza who he called a weasel among other terms following the unexpected speech Conor had to make the night before. 

He continued on with Rob Kardashian jokes and a shout out to Toronto native "drizzy Drake". Before handing the mic over to his opponent he made reference to a backpack that Mayweather had brought on stage and suggested that the boxer can't read. 

Mayweather kicked off his speech with his "hard work" chant however it seemed the Toronto audience were sided with McGregor. He retaliated by remarking that McGregor's fans can't fight for him. He then went on to poke at Conor's Irish pride by calling him an "eejit" and wearing an Irish flag handed to him by someone in the crowd. 

This led McGregor to grab Mayweather's money-filled backpack revealling that there was less than €5000 in it. The boxer went on to apologise to MMA president Dana White for insulting him in the past and to bring up, for a second night in a row, Conor's tap out during his Nate Diaz fight. 

McGregor and Mayweather will fly to New York for their third press conference tonight with the tour finishing in London on Friday.
