watch Dana White's video blog and you'll see Conor wasn't expecting to give speeches and is a lot less contrived as you think from one side and more shooot from the hip.

Can't say I buy a second of that exchange. You don't think Dana and Conor know that footage is going on his blog? Secondly, what does Conor think is going to happen at these events? They fully know going in what they're going to harp on for the entire time. The dialogue may not be fully scripted, but the pointers are fully premeditated. Leaving the bag there? Pure set up. After it was announced that Mayweather owes money, and fully knowing he's going to brag about being money mayweather, wasn't it reasonable that Conor had it ready in his back pocket to say that he "owes money"? Nothing genius about that. To me, one hype event is enough of rubbish. To have 4+ is nonsense and to me, spews WWE. Nobody in my mind is gaining from this. Commentators can say this is helping the promo, but to me it's really killing the match's credibility more than it did before this ridiculous match was announced. Clearly there are those who drink this koolaid.
