Four major cities will host next week’s press tour for “The Money Fight” between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
Officials recently announced Staples Center in Los Angeles will kick off the “Official Mayweather vs. McGregor World Tour” beginning this coming Tuesday, July 11.
Stops are now also official for Toronto, Brooklyn and London. They’re all open to fans.
Mayweather, who brings a perfect 49-0 boxing record into the fight, meets UFC lightweight champ McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) on Aug. 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The ballyhooed crossover fight, which is being held under boxing rules, airs on pay-per-view at a price tag expected to be in the triple digits.
Before the mega-fight, though, the two combat-sports vets will meet with fans and media to officially kick off the pre-event promotion.
