Floyd Mayweather hits peak desperation with latest attempt to promote McGregor super-fight

A poor effort

JOE

With all the money at Floyd Mayweather’s disposal, you’d have thought he’d have been able to hire the most talented Photoshopper in the game.

Mayweather is continuing to bang the drum for a cross-sport, cross-promotional super-fight against Conor McGregor and while most sane people are writing the whole discussion off as a publicity stunt, the conversation around it seems to be going nowhere.

The most desperate attempt came late on Sunday night when the former five-division world champion threw together a promotional fight poster for the Mayweather vs. McGregor match-up and, well, you can’t exactly picture it pasted to the side of the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The effort looks like it was hurriedly produced on Microsoft Paint and was bizarrely posted as a video rather than a photograph.

To show you just how much of a piss-poor job he did, here are three that are just as terrible and took us a maximum of one minute each to produce.
