Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor kicked off their press tour ahead of their fight in rather predictable fashion.
During a stop in Los Angeles — which consisted mostly of an ebullient McGregor talking a whole lot of trash — the MMA fighter turned boxer taunted Mayweather by saying “dance for me, boy.”

Many, including Fox Sports 1’s Chris Broussard, felt that McGregor’s comment was racist in nature.
"Dance for me, boy!" Ohh, ohh. Does he know what he just said?

Unsurprisingly, the two had to be separated when they squared each other up at the end of the press conference.

McGregor has some believers, but not many, though he didn’t act like an underdog on Tuesday. This is only the first stop of the press tour, and there’s surely more of this to come.
