Press conference number one takes place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday, July 11th. You can either watch it on television on Fox Sports 2 at 5:30 PM ET/2:30 PM PT, or if you like your press conferences uncensored, watch the free Showtime live stream at the top of the page at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT. Mauro Ranallo, Ariel Helwani (Update: The UFC says no to Helwani), Brendan Schaub, and Paulie Malignaggi will be the four-man team for today’s broadcast.

Be sure to follow the Bloody Elbow Twitter account, as our own Michael Hutchinson will be live-tweeting the best bits from today’s event. He’ll also be on-site on Wednesday to cover the Toronto presser. Only 47 more days until we can all put this behind us. A parting tip for Showtime ahead of the remaining tour stops: why turn off McGregor’s microphone during Mayweather’s sermon? I’d understand if the trash talk was the side course per usual, but don’t hold out on us when events like today’s are effectively the main course.

At any rate, thanks for following along with us and do check back later for Rory Carroll’s full report from the ground in Los Angeles.More from Mayweather vs Mcgregor, who’s just getting started. “We knew I was the A-side,” he says. “That’s why it says Mayweather first. That’s why this bitch had to come to the boxing ring.Floyd then took aim at McGregor’s three submission losses, only one in the UFC.

“We know Mr Tapout like to quit and you will,” Mayweather says, eyes narrowing. “You going out on your face or you going out on your back. Which way you want to go? Which way do you wanna go?Mayweather takes the stage after a short intro from Leonard Ellerbee and, wow ... just wow. He leads the crowd in a back-and-forth chant of his “Hard word, dedication” mantra – and then we’re off to the races: “You line ‘em up and I knock ‘em down. On August 26, I’m gonna knock this bitch out too.”

McGregor fires back from the side: “You haven’t knocked anyone out in about 20 years.”

Floyd is stalking back and forth across the stage like a revivalist preacher:“Dance for me, boy!” cries McGregor, allowing scorekeepers at home to check racially charged rhetoric on their bingo cards. Dance for me, son!”“Give me that backpack!” Floyd shouts to an assistant, before pulling out a $100m check from his last fight.

Adds Mayweather: “He look good for for a seven-figure fighter, he look good for an eight-figure fighter. But mother-fucker, I’m a nine figure fighter. This bitch made three million dollars his last fight. But we know that’s training camp money for me.”

McGregor makes a crack from his chair about how Mayweather should give the money to the tax man, to which Mayweather quickly fires back: “You right, I’m the IRS. I’m gonna tax your ass.”He’s in a fucking track suit,” McGregor says to the delight of the crowd, before taking shots at Mayweather’s reported tax troubles. “He can’t even afford a suit anymore! The Rolls is a 2012 outside. He is fooked!”

Adds McGregor: “There’s no other way about it. His little legs, his little core, his little head. I’m going to knock him out inside of four rounds, mark my words.

“The movement, the power, the ferociousness. He’s not experienced this. He’s fought people who have shied away fro, him. I don’t fear this limited set of fighting. This is a limited set of rules that makes this half a fight, a quarter of a fight. If this was a true fight, it wouldn’t even take one round. ... What can I say, I’m a young confident happy man that has worked extremely hard for this.”Espinoza calls Mayweather “by far, the No1 attraction in sports and entertainment”. He says he’s not at all surprised this fight is happening. It’s been the plan all along. Now MGM Resorts president of sports and entertainment Richard Sturm is called to the mic and the crowd is getting restless. It’s almost as if 20,000 fans are simultaneously realizing the occasional mind-numbing boredom of being a boxing journo.

Conor pumping his fist in the background and whipping the crowd into a frenzy as Sturm drones on. Mayweather vs Mcgregor Fightr is sitting arms crossed in a star-spangled The Money Team jumper with a hat that for some reason is emblazoned with the number 48. (He’s 49-0, going for 50-0 with August’s fight.)
