[@Ghost-xb3xn]

This is why Ariel should be able to ask questions. Very good questions that most people don't ask.

[@josim7598]

Temoor Amin he is a good interiewer... he doesnt sugarcoat questions... and many fighters he interviews dont like that which is funny... mcgregor handles himself tho so it might be his reply but ariel is a good interviewer

[@rebnik7132]

McGregor has a lot of respect for Ariel. Ariel was giving him airtime on his show way back when he was starting out in UFC and has a lot to do with the exposure McGregor got back then. He even did a special interview where he followed McGregor around Ireland.

[@Tony-sj4sj]

I love how Conor is still super chill with Ariel, even after all the money.

[@CoDGamer583]

Tony B real

[@garrymiller3171]

jojocapone973 millions of dollars?

[@pullcounter7011]

Tony B lmao what ? seems more like he sees a familiar face in a place he feels somewhat uncomfortable in

[@BigPat6521]

Tony B because he knows he's making money, he's too gitty, like he's trying to hide this is a show.

[@loonatic42]

for sure, he was on Ariel's show 4 years ago telling him he was going to be on Forbes list, here he is now

[@TG-xg5ts]

Ariel and conor is a team ever since the Dublin arena. Nothing changed

[@xx3voXguyxx]

Oh boy, just imagine if it goes to MMA next. (I know Floyd's bullshiting but still)

[@nigcrusher3322]

Interim Champs [Aldo's Kryptonite] idk. if the irs come knocling, he'll do anything

[@jhonnycultura4455]

Interim Champs [Aldo's Kryptonite] McGregor spinning kick him right in the face!!

[@shivelyfilms]

If it goes over to MMA Floyd be dead after the first ding of that bell

[@mizaelreyes1443]

Yeah he taking his money and running after that fight!

[@ireact5944]

Maybe he sees another 100million + payday in a Conor - Floyd 2 scenario. Would he walk away from that kind of money - especially if the IRS has a posse on his case?

[@boxxanon]

among all the hate, lies, and scheming Conor is nothing but happy and grateful for the life he is living. it's a refreshing sight to see.

[@jamesbarratt593]

Its verbal crap for you

[@speedwolf5212]

That press format was junk. Seemed rushed and poorly thought out. Speeches? I hope they have press questions/standard format for the next conferences.

[@CXLV-]

GhostTech1 agreed

[@thedude5178]

I was praying when floyd said 'name an opponent ive had problems with' for conor to say 'the alphabet'

[@Onieracraft]

I'd say only 2.

[@thedude5178]

I'd say i bet youre a riot a parties eyy?

[@Bennyboy138]

I wish Conor replied with "Castillo....you lost the first fight".

[@patpatch3410]

I feel McGregor is more humble after having a kid.

[@Rk-wj2gv]

Jiří Wehle NO its because he knows he hasn't got a chance

[@krugerbrentquiming1903]

He is always humble. During conferences he is cocky and confident af but behind the scene, marketing set aside, or after any fight he is always humble in victory or defeat. Learn something everyday.

[@dioniciabar8002]

Jiří Wehle

[@yasminhughes4440]

Jiří Wehle hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

[@beaulebreton1299]

Jiří Wehle not at press conference 2

[@rubinsaini420]

49-1 = 48 on Floyd's hat? lol

[@eu1776]

Rubin Saini dummy. He had a rematch with maidana. So that's 48 people.

[@faranqamar8130]

Emeka Uwanekezi Had a rematch with Castillo too so thats not 48 people. He probably can't count. lol

[@jeffogilvy5141]

Faran Qamar that's true, man can barely read let alone count

[@doom3372]

maybe he counted McGregor in those 48

[@donovanchilton5817]

Floyd is nearly illiterate. This surprises you?

[@danawhite8349]

To be honest I wouldn't even wanna see them fight mma, it would be a waste of time and actually kinda sad

[@notme6793]

The real Coach Edmund here you are right tho Edmond 🙃

[@notme6793]

The real Coach Edmund HEAD MOVEMENT HEAD MOVEMENT

[@kimonaked]

NO RONDA NOOOO!!!

[@stevenramirez2577]

The real Coach Edmund it's an even bigger waste of money if they fought in mma that would definitely a mismatch

[@joeyeigo3111]

They aren't gonna fight MMA. He will fight Tony or Khabib or possibly nate most likely

[@MrImAlwaysBored]

Great interview Ariel, really liked how you asked MMA questions this interview seemed genuine unlike the press conference

[@bravonana10]

Conor is such a loveable guy, he's so proud of what he's done. So humble, there's no wonder people love him.

[@TheNotoriousDrugKingpin]

bravonana10 He ain't humble

[@juancantu6169]

bravonana10 : Flo and Connie are of the same lower, social and economic class upbringing and mentality -- there is no difference between the two of them other than the color of their skin.

[@bravonana10]

Fabian Cruz Yes, he is. Do your research!

[@dracoj2123]

Fabian Cruz he's cocky in preparation but humble in victory and defeat

[@YouTubeUserDS3]

how's this guy humble????

[@jeffogilvy5141]

Floyd vs CM Punk, make it happen Dana.

[@nigcrusher3322]

floyd vs rousey in a boxing match. make it happen.

[@03campj]

CM Punk could actually win that fight 😂

[@Living_the_Highlight]

McGregor vs Bolo Yeung

[@03campj]

+shooter4hire shooter4hire he's got more MMA experience than Floyd. He's legitimately a better grappler and Submission artist. At least he's been training MMA for the last two years. I am not trolling here but I think if he went for an immediate takedown he could submit Floyd

[@cathedralking8884]

Ez win for cm punk😂

[@vigilantstoner868]

Floyd wouldn't last 15 seconds in the octagon

[@suedepuma9865]

he got a better shot in the octagon then conor does in the ring

[@ianpat2768]

SuedePuma what's gonna happen to boxing if you're wrong?

[@jackholmes1035]

+SuedePuma uhm lol?

[@MrJc9600]

SuedePuma I doubt it since MMA requires sufficient knowledge in boxing by default and boxing requires no knowledge of kicking, wrestling, or submission. Not to mention Floyd is 40 years old and smaller than Conor.

[@dwightjackson3882]

Vigilant Stoner no one cares about the octagon

[@Hieto08]

Floyd 'Owes Money' Mayweather

[@briteix]

They knew if they would've left Conor's mic on, he would've slaughtered Floyd in the verbal warfare. Floyd's already cheating 😂

[@SortaProfessional89]

Bright Topa i have to agree with you man. bump this

[@MysterD515]

Bright Topa Floyd kept quiet while Conor bitched about boxing rules in a fight he sought out. Conor should have kept quiet.

[@Gen-pq2md]

but it's true boxing is safer than MMA McGregor told the truth even it sounded bad Floyd said a lot of bs

[@Bannedconfidential]

Floyd let Conor talk why couldn't Conor let Floyd? It's as simple as that.

[@davidstallworth7239]

actually they cut his Mic because it wasn't his turn to talk. Floyd was quiet when he talked Floyd never interrupted. class act

[@NilavraPathak]

He got really pissed off with that guy with Afro

[@Partoftheratpack]

Nilavra Pathak so did everyone

[@JaxPersonalTrainingUK]

Mayweathers trash talk was cringeworthy 😂

[@eu1776]

Louis Jackson so was Conor. "my suit says F you." "you're wearing a jumpsuit." So? Dana makes more money than Conor and Dana shows up in TShirts that I can buy at Target

[@wigz5109]

Emeka Uwanekezi lol talks about big cash, but dresses like one of his chump security guards.

[@dhillenG]

Louis Jackson better than Conor who has a thick accent and sounds funny

[@prophetd6128]

foreal nd ppl say he out talked conor cone on

[@quezadilla8658]

Louis Jackson I'd rather see the mma fight than the boxing

[@timmontana9973]

4:02 ariel is hilarious. Digs so well and asks the best questions

[@Oblivion7070]

Mayweather was so scripted, at least he can read his lines now lmao

[@ongobongo8333]

Blaze The Singer he came off better than connor. shut his irish ass up.

[@dobbyslittletootsies8603]

Mr Jones you too as well how could it be scripted if nobody told him to make a speech in the first place

[@shivelyfilms]

Aye i believe these Hype conferences are staged to sell the fights, but scripted? Nah, maybe a little but most of the Trash talk is improvised hype

[@MegaHJ1992]

Blaze The Singer and you still living in shifty conditions while Floyd and his family are living large👌🏾 lolllll

[@Arnell_Long]

Blaze The Singer Yeah, most people usually have scripted speeches. Especially if they're popular aka a big draw.

[@crackheadsaresexy2915]

Floyd is very confident himself but when Conor says he'll do something you believe it.

[@suedepuma9865]

except knock out nate. he lost both fights

[@BuzzMeme]

He won the 2nd? lol

[@ragingwarrior8098]

50 - 0

[@fencefirst2722]

LJ W

[@Carlos-lh3rn]

SuedePuma Nate is 6ft and like 4 inch reach advantage Connor has a 2 inch advantage and he's 1 inch taller than mayweather

[@lebronakronjames231]

#FreeAriel

[@abdelmercifulgaming7890]

marc andre sales what ? why is he locked up lmao

[@lebronakronjames231]

AJ LikesTech dana banned him again look at his tweet

[@LivingLegacy77]

Does anyone know what was being discussed at 3:10? The reporter was off the mic and Conor was hard to understand with his accent.

[@wsuptrick]

Which tour did they cut off the mic ?

[@DeejayOM13]

Conor was showing mad love to Ariel over those other reporters....good for him :)

[@allmyfriendsband]

Ariel is the BEST

[@zhizhixoxo]

Ariel is an amazing interview man, well done. Also love the way Conor pronounces his name haha

[@TA2MIKE74]

It's funny how many people were outraged at Bisping for wanting to fight GSP for the bigger pay day instead of the number 1 contender yet it's crickets when McGregor changes sports entirely and might come back to defend his UFC belt if it helps him climb the Forbes list...

[@Kurama_02]

TA2MIKE74 he's ambitious and still a humble guy at that too

[@cjurrutia9916]

connor is already in floyds head

[@ongobongo8333]

cj urrutia good one lo.

[@Leo-yh8do]

How is a rookie getting into the head of an undefeated for 21yrs champion? Typical McGregor fan statement

[@ThisIsTheDon]

Leo Thunderson if he's a rookie then why is he a big name in UFC and why are Connors paper views always top chart rates

[@Arnell_Long]

cj urrutia 89 people and counting are rather delusional. Oh well, this comment isn't too different from the rest.

[@paulbriones195]

floyd will give connor a head. You all know what i mean.

[@user-rc8nc5gm5s]

Hopefully Conor hires Rondas coach --head movement

[@MZBrandao]

When is the next conference. In central standard time please

[@msdaintypanda6328]

Mayweathers about to make it into worst trash talk compilations

[@philhellmuff]

That format was so dumb. They gave them mics and then muted?? duh. They should both get mics and just go to war like the UFC does it. And what's up with the boring old dude giving a speech lol that was mega cringe

[@antoniobowden4849]

TheViperATS boxing is boring now but back then it was freaking amazing. MMA/UFC is the new big thing in sports. boxing is a dying sport without big names and exciting matches.

[@lewiss45]

Conor took danas mic that he introduced conor with. Floyd had no mic when mcgregor was talking, conor shouldn't of had any mic at all. They try and let both fighters stand and and talk without getting interrupted

[@boostamante64]

Hollywood tonio you don't watch enough boxing then.

[@mitchfandnoahg]

Floyd'sonly loss is to the IRS

[@xXiiMaGeZzXx]

barz berz he payed it off do your homework

[@CordyFinance]

"payed" "do your homework" Classic

[@MrRemixV3]

barz berz Floyd's only loss so far

[@thenewtalkerguy496]

mcord21 hahaha

[@vibe_1176]

and Irish

[@taljos8487]

Such a humble guy behind the scenes, talks to the interviewer likes its his best mate

[@paulic5561]

MARIO ..... such a cool, calm, focused interviewer ..... just flows and Con Mc loves him too .... great dialog between the 2 ... listen to the others ask questions ... NOT AT THIS LEVEL ... and Cons replies .... TEAM CMcG ... like that, its got a ring, ding ding (pml) - lol

[@escoofimpakt]

kinda messed up this was Ariel's interview with conor those other reporters jumping in and piggy backing off Ariel donor only stopped to talk to Ariel since he knows him

[@KatyLee]

0:44 This is why I love Conor McGregor :3

[@samueledmonds7358]

Love him referring to Gaethje at the end

[@jessithom9056]

Last Euro I was wathing on ScreenVariety website, register and enjoy the quality

[@CubeMasterG]

Conor really needs a suit with the print "you won't do noth'n"

[@A-RJ]

This was the last of “Hungry” McGregor. After that pay check and the booze business and global fame law suits etc it took the edge off him. Meanwhile the ufc Khabib was still hungry AF and pissed off that McGregor was holding the division up.

[@L_Martin]

Too bad Khabib is such a black hole of a personality. Zero charisma, wit or charm. He can fight. That's about it.

[@darcycampbell5083]

It's been a long time since I have seen ANY press reporter ask some solid and relevant questions to a athlete/celeb/public figure! Hat is off to you good sir.

[@Gabbyislimitless]

Best interviewer out there for the sport, fighters feel comfortable with him , and he asks the right questions to get the right answers, Thank you 🙌🙌

[@DiegoTorres-nc9sp]

He looks very excited LOL

[@cruzmariowii]

Ariel is MMA journalism. respect

[@Nathan-se3fr]

00:37 "Rolled up and started talking Stweet"

[@johnkaphery4454]

Nice to see an up close of the suit

[@thakingofdetroit]

idk why but this video made me respect Conor a bit more....he was pretty humble at times in this clip....nice....that being said Floyd by rd7 tko

[@SharkTooth05]

After this pressor I just really want that suit

[@leefedz1087]

Ariel coming back in like a boss @4:01 😂

But did he die?

HOW BOUT NOW..😆😆 #50

[@angelkhan1594]

Next fight Jon Jones vs Anthony Joshua

[@cnl1213]

Conor seems genuinely happy to see Ariel here. They have such a rapport . He seems relieved to see someone of his own kind amongst this strange atmosphere.

[@jebadiahfyefye8994]

god I live this kid. his honesty is so refreshing. "I mean I'm gonna fight, I said ill fight so I will" I hope he wins. just bc I know the pressure he puts on himself and the way the world will react when he loses. win or lose.. mcgregor is an icon and an inspiration.

[@juice4080]

he should thank floyd for the mcgregor sports entertainment

[@jennieredrose5819]

imagine if Conner wins. That means he is gonna be able to make money on both platforms and will have bragging rights on both sides!

[@JeffVader39]

[@edgarsanchez1869]

Hahahha he never had a chance

[@jennieredrose5819]

@@edgarsanchez1869 clearly! Mayweather is just great at his sport. You don't go through your entire career with no losses and not be excellent at what you do. I'm one of those rare individuals who is NOT a hater. I appreciate greatness. I never hate on a man who consistently wins. I take notes.

[@Arnell_Long]

therealist811 Exactly, if you look at the various comments and whatnot you'll see the amount of hate Floyd receives while Conor gets all the praise. I respect both men but it's becoming like a land of sheep, all preaching the same crap.

well it was only the first one. next one's should be better. hopefully

[@vidream8147]

if u pay attention closely u can see that conor is always chewing gum and i think that has something to do with him being confident because in all his interviews hes chewing gum

[@Deimian676]

hahahhaghhasgha at 3:20 to 3:30 a lot of what Mayweather said bothered connor what you talking about?

[@Frederick0220]

Yup, Floyd Jr. is a perennial woman beating felon. Money has saved him from years of prison time.

[@CPlusKaraoke]

Floyd is the new Paul Buenatello: "Don't fear me!"...

Can't keep Ariel down.. Still gets top trending interview. Great job.. 🤣👍

[@rattletop]

Wasn't Ariel banned from covering MayMac? Or was it just a twitter tantrum for publicity?

[@endsitall]

rattletop no he said Dana had him fired from the showtime coverage ,he can still do press and interviews..

[@dylanbald7545]

rattletop he was taken off the team for presenting the conference, Paulie, Mauro, Schaub and Ariel it was supposed to be. Dana requested that the Showtime executives remove Ariel from that position and it happened. So did you know that's what actually happened or is this just a KZbin tantrum for publicity? Chump.

[@nericohen-muaythai8875]

rattletop he isn't going to be covering it as the main reporter's.

[@crowythebutcher6127]

Olivia it's more then that he had inside people leaking information eg broke lesnar return and the Conor vs Diaz fight and announced it before the UFC could even after Dana spoke to him and told him not to because people will start loosing there jobs clearly Ariel is the one who doesn't care about people's families...

[@livs97]

Crowy The butcher that never happened. Ariel said that never happened. And if you're believing what Dana is feeding to Rogan, well you need to check yourself

David Granados I can't stand the Leprechaun but no way he compares to punk. conor would match up verse many boxers. punk would struggle to beat guys a division below.

so you think Conors time boxing as a teenager were he had no ameture or pro fights can compare to someone who's been doing it for 20 years??? stupid chode
