VIDEO: Conor McGregor Calls Showtime Sports VP Stephen Espinoza A "Weasel" Right To His Face
Conor. McGregor. Gives. Zero. F*cks. During the second leg of the Mayweather/McGregor promotional tour, The Notorious One had a few choice words for the Showtime exec, and you'll find out why after the jump...
The Conor McGregor/Floyd Mayweather World Tour has been the gift (and gif, for that matter) that keeps on giving so far.
Following a highly entertaining first stop in LA, day 2 of the press tour moved to Toronto, and went about as calmly as you'd expect - but The Notorious One didn't only have harsh words for his opponent.
Back in LA, McGregor's mic appeared to be turned off at certain points when he attempted to interrupt Mayweather, and even though Showtime denied that it was intentional, that didn't stop the Irishman from laying into the network's vice president, Stephen Espinoza.
You'll find video footage and a transcription of the incident below, along with the press conference in full.
“And while we’re at it, f**k Showtime too! You little weasel! Look at you, you little weasel. I can see it in your eyes, you’re a f**king bitch. Cut my mic off? Cut the champ’s mic off? Hell no, you f**king weasel, and you f**king bitch.
They’re trying to set me up at every turn. They’re trying to catch me off guard. Trying to see me into uncomfortable positions. But I thrive in uncomfortable positions. There is nothing these can do to phase me. 28 years of age, I’m getting fight checks, and promoter checks!"
