Conor McGregor, the man who somehow talked his way into a zillion dollar fight with Floyd Mayweather, might be the worst product pitchman…ever. I’m not even exaggerating.
How a man who has never been short for words at any moment in his professional career as a mixed martial artist could be so bad at selling something as simple as toothpaste is beyond me.
Yet here we are.
On Monday, McGregor posted a video of himself hawking some toothpaste. I can’t even remember what brand it was and I watched the video at least three times. Not because it was good, but because I was so incredulous at just how bad it was.
Remember when Rocky Balboa (who, coincidentally, we just discussed today) had to do commercials when he was broke?
Yeah, well, McGregor’s effort wasn’t a whole lot better. Get ready to watch and cringe…
What the hell did I just watch?
Naturally, since this appeared on social media, both Instagram and Twitter, people had thoughts. Hilarious thoughts. (A couple of which you already saw above. I’ll also save you all the “you sold out” tweets. There were many.)
All that being said…
Also…
Between Mayweather eating Burger King and hanging out at his strip the week of the fight and now this, could this sporting event possibly get any weirder?
