CONOR MCGREGOR:

– Viihdyn epämukavissa asennoissa. Nämä kaverit eivät voi tehdä minulle mitään. Ikää 28 vuotta, Saan taistelutarkistuksia ja promoottoritarkistuksia. Kun Floyd oli 28, hän oli Oscar De La Hoyan alakortissa, ja se on vain faktaa.

"Toronto, mikä kaupunki. Olin täällä kerran, Olin myös maailmankiertueella. Olin myös voittamattoman tehtävän edessä. Vastassani oli planeetan paras puntaa vastaan ​​-hävittäjä, Jose Aldo. He sanoivat samoja asioita silloin kuin he sanovat nyt. He sanoivat, ettei minulla ole mahdollisuuksia. He sanoivat, että olen pääni päällä. He sanoivat [hän] potkii liian lujaa, liikaa aseita. Irlantilainen epäonnistuu, hänellä ei ole toivoa. Se vei minut 13 sekuntia.

"Yksi laukaus riittää. Tarkista tosiasiat. Pomppaan päät pois kankaalta.

"Hän tekee päätöksen. Hän ei ole taistellut päivääkään elämässään, hän on juoksija."

Taistelijat poseerasivat ensimmäisessä kohtaamisessa ennennäkemättömässä tapahtumassa, joka on valloittanut urheilun ystävien mielikuvituksen ympäri maailmaa. Mayweather ja McGregor kohtaavat superkeskisarjan kilpailussa, joka toimii ensimmäistä kertaa nyrkkeilyn mestareina, ja MMA kohtaavat sanktioidussa nyrkkeilyottelussa.

 

Mayweather vs. McGregorin maailmankiertue jatkuu Torontoon, New York City ja Lontoo supertähtinä toimittavat kesän suurimman tapahtuman spektaakkelin suoraan sitä vaatineille faneille.

 

Tässä on mitä lehdistötilaisuudessa osallistujia oli sanottavaa Tiistai:

 

FLOYD Mayweather

 

“Kaikki tietävät, etten ole koskaan perääntynyt kenestäkään. Asetat ne riviin, ja lyön ne alas kuin keilarit. PäälläElokuu 26, Pudotan Conorin.

 

“Minä takaan sinulle tämän. Menet ulos kasvoillesi tai selällesi. Joten mihin suuntaan haluat mennä?

 

“Kaksikymmentäyksi on numero. He kysyvät minulta, miksi tämä numero on? Koska niin kauan olen potkinut perseeseen. En välitä sormuksesta tai kahdeksankulmiosta. Laita minut sinne, niin lähden perseelle.

 

“Tarvitaan kaksi soturia tuodakseen yhteen tällaisen tapahtuman. Kaksi suurinta taistelulajien voimaa saivat tämän tapahtumaan.

 

“Tämä oli jotain, jonka fanit halusivat nähdä. Puhuin tiimilleni ja sanoin, että Mayweather-McGregor-taistelu voi olla historian suurin taistelu. Sitä olemme täällä muuttaaksemme todellisuudeksi.

 

“McGregor on ammattilainen, seisova taistelija. Ainoa menetys, jonka hän sai, oli ollessaan maassa. Hän on kova kilpailija, ja otan hänet erittäin vakavasti.

 

“Kaikki tietävät, että olen tehnyt tätä pitkään. Olen ollut täällä ennenkin. Hän on kuitenkin kova kaveri ja soturi. Parhaiden on taisteltava parhaiden kanssa. Fanit halusivat tämän taistelun, minä ja McGregor halusimme tappelun. Siitä tulee verta, hiki ja kyyneleet päälleElokuu 26.

 

“Harjoitusleiri on ollut rankkaa. Tiedän syvällä sydämessäni, että tämä on viimeinen. Pidän huolta kehostani ja annan itselleni vapaa-aikaa, jotta kehoni voi uudistua.

 

“Conor todella haluaa voittaa. Äärimmäisen huonosti. Muut taistelijat pelaavat yleensä kahdella tavalla. Jotkut kaverit pelaavat varman päälle ja sitten jotkut, kuten Marcos Maidana, menevät tappamaan. Minusta hän on Maidana-tyyppinen. Hän on kova lyöjä, joten minun on oltava varovainen. Pohjimmiltaan se tulee olemaan varpaiden välinen taistelu.”

 

CONOR MCGREGOR

 

“Mieleni on mykistynyt. Minulla on suuri kunnia olla täällä teidän fanien edessä tässä upeassa spektaakkelissa. Jonkun 0 on mentävä.

 

“Hänellä on pienet jalat ja pienet kädet. Aion tyrmätä hänet neljän erän sisällä. Merkitse sanani.

 

“Olen nuori, itsevarma, iloinen mies. Olen tehnyt kovasti töitä tämän eteen. Aion omaksua kaiken. Kukaan ei voi tehdä minulle mitään. Aion pitää hauskaa.

 

“Floyd on tajuton neljän erän aikana. Voimaa ja raivoa, joka minulla on, hän ei ole koskaan ennen kokenut sitä. en pelkää häntä.

 

“Vaikka hän saisi hanskallaan kiinni yhden lyönnistäni, se satuttaa häntä silti. Olen kuin mitään, mitä hän ei ole koskaan ennen nähnyt.

 

“Kaksitoista, kolmen minuutin kierrokset tulee olemaan minulle helppoa. Ei ota tästä urheilusta mitään pois, mutta minulla ei ole huolta siitä, että menisin 12 kierrosta Floydin kanssa.

 

“Floyd on täydellinen motivaatio minulle mennä sisään ja valloittaa oletettavasti voittamaton. Mitä muuta motivaatiota voisi tarvita? Tämä saa minut tekemään näitä ennätystapahtumia.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, Toimitusjohtaja Mayweather Kampanjat

 

“Tämä on mahtava taistelu, jota fanit ovat vaatineet. Juuri sitä aiomme antaa heille Elokuu 26.

 

“Floyd Mayweather on voittamaton, punta puntaa kuningas ja kaikkien aikojen paras. Hän on täällä antamassa faneille mitä he halusivat, ja se on hänen valtava tapahtumansa, joka on ikimuistoinen taistelu Elokuu 26.

 

“Mayweather Promotions tarjoaa faneille juuri sen, mitä he haluavat, ja tämä taistelu Floydin ja Conorin välillä antaa kaiken tämän ja paljon muuta.

 

“Tämä on kesän ei voi ohittaa tapahtuma ja tämä yleisö STAPLES Centerissä todistaa, kuinka suuri se tulee olemaan. Koko tämän viikon tuomme taisteluviikon jännityksen loppuunmyytyihin paikkoihin ympäri maailmaa.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & Toimitusjohtaja, Showtime Urheilu

 

“Muutaman viime vuoden aikana, SHOWTIME on tehnyt yhteistyötä MGM:n ja Mayweather Promotionsin kanssa tarjotakseen faneille suurimmat ja jännittävimmät urheilutapahtumat. Ennätystapahtuma ennätystapahtuman perään. Meillä on myös pitkä MMA-historia SHOWTIMEssa ja olemme iloisia voidessamme olla kaupassa UFC:n ja Conor McGregorin kanssa.

 

“Pyrimme toimittamaan tämän tapahtuman faneille ennennäkemättömällä tavalla. Annamme sinulle uusia tapoja kokea otteluun johtava valmistautuminen ja sitten taisteluilta, kuin koskaan ennen. Tuomme sinut kulissien taakse ja lähelle ja henkilökohtaisesti “Kaikki Access” sarja. Kulissien takana oleva passi tähän taisteluun saa ensi-iltansa Heinäkuu 28 Showtime.

 

“He sanoivat, että tätä taistelua ei koskaan voitu käydä, he sanoivat, että tätä taistelua ei koskaan tapahdu, mutta tämä taistelu ei ole yllätys. 10 vuosia sitten Floyd päätti jättää promoottorinsa ja ryhtyä omaksi pomokseen. Hänestä tuli oma pomo ja rikkoi PPV-ennätyksen PPV-ennätyksen jälkeen. Täällä me olemme, 49-0, hän on taistellut 24 maailmanmestarit, eikä koskaan hävinnyt. Floyd Mayweather on luonut 20 miljoonaa PPV-ostoa ja 1.3 miljardia dollaria PPV:inä. Hän on ylivoimaisesti urheilun ja viihteen ykkönen. Ei ole ketään muuta edes läheistä.

 

“Olenko yllättynyt, että tämä tappelu tapahtuu? Varsinkin nuorempaa vastaan, isompi ja vahvempi kuin hän on. Ei ollenkaan. Tämä on Floydin suunnitelma. Järjestä jännittävimmät ja näyttävimmät tapahtumat, joita urheilumaailma on koskaan nähnyt. Se on mitäElokuu 26 tulee olemaan. Se on ollut suunnitelma koko ajan. ”

 

DANA VALKOINEN, UFC:n presidentti

 

“Tämä on suurin taistelu, johon kukaan meistä on koskaan ollut osallisena. Ihmiset ovat juuri kokoontuneet tämän taistelun taakse. Älä tuomitse taistelua ennen kuin taistelu on ohi. Et koskaan tiedä mitä tapahtuu, varsinkin Conorin kaltaisen kaverin kanssa, joka törmää kuin kuorma-auto. Kun hän satuttaa jotakuta, hän laittaa ne pois.

 

“Tämä on tänään täysin täysi tapahtuma, ei paikkaa jäljellä. Meidän piti muuttaa isompaan paikkaan Torontoon. Barclays Center myyty loppuun ja sitten tänään liput loppuunmyyty Wembleyssä sisään 10 minuuttia. Mitään tällaista ei ole koskaan ollut.

 

“Floyd on melkein 41 vuotias. Conor on nuori etelätassu, joka lyö kovaa. Katsotaan kuinka käy. On hullua ajatella, että Conor ei saa yhteyttä häneen.

 

“Conor McGregor uskoo itseensä niin kuin kukaan, jota en ole koskaan nähnyt. Mitä hän ajattelee, hän ilmestyy todellisuudeksi. Nyrkkeilymedia tutustuu Conoriin tällä kiertueella ja näkee henkisen sodankäynnin, johon hän osallistuu. Sitten taisteluillalla, Conor yrittää tyrmätä Floydin.”

 

RICHARD STORM, Urheilu- ja viihdejohtaja, MGM Resorts International

“Kiitos kaikille upeille taistelufaneille ympäri maailmaa, jotka katsovat tätä tapahtumaa. Olemme innoissamme, että tämä tapahtuma järjestetään T-Mobile Arenalla, urheilu- ja viihdealan suurimpien tapahtumien koti. Vain sisään 15 kuukausia T-Mobile Arenasta on tullut alan johtava asema ja monien maailman parhaiden viihdyttäjien ja urheilijoiden koti.

 

“Las Vegas ja T-Mobile Arena ovat urheiluuniversumin keskipiste tälle suurelle spektaakkelille, kun kaksi suurta mestaria tuovat nämä kaksi lajia yhteen ensimmäistä kertaa. Tulee täysin sähköinen viikonloppu. Odotamme innolla tarjoavamme unohtumattoman kokemuksen kaikille faneille, jotka matkustavat ympäri maailmaa tähän mahtavaan tapahtumaan.”

NEW YORK (Heinäkuu 6, 2017) – Consensus top-10 heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller will make his hometown debut just down the block from where he was born when he faces former world title challenger Gerald Washington at Barclays Center, koti BROOKLYN NYRKKEILY, after an 11-month hiatus.

 

6-jalka-4, 285-pound undefeated Miller (18-0-1, 16 KOs) will meet dangerous heavyweight contender and former college football player, Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs) in a 10-round showdown on Lauantai, Heinäkuu 29. Highlights of Miller vs. Washington will air on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. JA/6 p.m. PT), part of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader headlined by Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia.

 

Jarrell Miller is promoted by Salita Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions in association with Big Baby Promotions.

 

The confident and hard-hitting Miller has knocked out seven consecutive opponents since his pro debut in 2009. Following a voluntary layoff due to contractual disputes, the 28-year-old former professional kickboxer will take a step up in opposition when he faces Washington, a U.S. Navy veteran who challenged heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder earlier this year in a hard-fought bout.

 

“The day has been set and it can’t come soon enough,” said Miller. “Fighting is my life and being able to make my debut at Barclays Center is beyond monumental. This will be a night to remember for me, my family and for the fans.”

 

“Jarrell Miller is the heir to the heavyweight championship throne,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “Like the great American heavyweights from Brooklyn, Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe, Jarrell has the skills and charisma to be the face of the heavyweight division. Following in their footsteps I believe he is the next boxing superstar from the world famous borough.”

 

Ranked No. 5 jonka WBO ja o. 7 by the WBA and IBF, Miller earned three stoppage victories in 2016, including a third-round TKO over veteran Fred Kassi in his 2016 headlining fight on ShoBox: New Generation, where he landed 57 prosenttia valtaansa laukausta.

 

“I’m a born, bred fighter,” Miller continued. “I’ve been fighting since Day 1. I’m good at everything – damn good at everything. Voin laatikko, I can slug, and I bring the pain. Every time I go into a fight, I look for the knockout. I’m fast, I’m powerful, and I’ve got a big damn mouth.”

 

Charismatic and eloquent with an outspoken affinity for cheeseburgers, Miller doesn’t hesitate to dole out trash talk, especially when it comes to his opinion on the state of the heavyweight division and its big names.

 

“The heavyweight division is gaining momentum overseas but it’s still wide open,” Miller continued. “Big Baby Miller has arrived to stay. I will shake up the division by turning it upside down and I will put not just my beloved hometown of Brooklyn on the map, but the entire United States of America.”

 

The 6-foot-6 Washington, 35, is a well-rounded athlete from Vallejo, Kalifornia. who turned to pro boxing in 2012. He played football under Pete Carroll and Steve Sarkisian at University of Southern California and was part of the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks practice squads before turning to boxing. Washington holds victories over experienced one-time Wladimir Klitschko foe Eddie Chambers and veteran Ray Austin. He will be making his East Coast debut on Heinäkuu 29.

 

“I’d like to take this opportunity to personally welcome Big Baby Miller to big-time boxing,” sanoi Washington. “Big Baby Miller has done a lot of talking, I’ll be looking to stop that talking from the moment the bell to start the fight rings.”

This is a great challenge and we both will show our true potential. I know I’ll give everything I have to be successful, as I have always done. I’ve fought throughout the world, but never in the U.S. It’s really a dream to fight in the biggest women’s boxing event in 2017.

 

Shields said, “It is a dream come true for me to be fighting for a major world title in just my fourth professional fight.
