Did you spot the not-very-subtle message in McGregor’s suit at the press conference?

You know the way they say a picture paints a thousand words? This only paints two...

All eyes were on the first Mayweather/McGregor press conference, but did you notice that Conor was getting a dig in even at subliminal levels?

First we got McGregor calling attention to the fact that Mayweather seemed a little more casual to the event than usual – “He’s in a fucking tracksuit, he can’t even afford a suit anymore!”.

And then everyone got caught up in Mayweather’s comment on a particular type of glove, but you might have missed the teeny, tiny, but still very pointed statement that McGregor was making with his suit.

You know the way they say a picture paints a thousands words?

Well this one doesn’t.

This one only has two.

It takes a lot of work to antagonise someone in such a way that it also doubles as an eye exam.
