LOS ANGELES — Floyd Mayweather Jr. reached into a backpack and held out a $100 million check for the crowd of 11,000 fight fans to see. Mayweather and McGregor kicked off a four-city promotional tour Tuesday at Staples Center, facing off in front of a raucous crowd that thoroughly enjoyed this circus’ first stop in Hollywood. That enough is reason why this is what it is.”All but the most naive fight fans realize the promotion for this bout could be much more entertaining than the historic 154-pound fight August 26 in Las Vegas. McGregor got more personal than Mayweather, going after everything from the boxer’s apparent money troubles to his attire. “He’s in a ... track suit,” McGregor said, looking at Mayweather.
