lol, at least we'd have another canidate for anorak's "What's the most famous press conference ever?" thread..

Its an unusual practice but why the hell not i say. Adds a bit of intrigue and Rahman has always plenty to say!

I'm 100% sure he's simply there to further promote Toney/Rahman coming up soon (which is a very good idea in a business sense).

I heard Toney might show up to accompany his homie Pacquiao. We might see a heavyweight fight earlier than expected.

That would be different!

that could really make the weigh-in interesting as im sure Toney will at least be at the fight tommorow night.

[bumboclott]

yeah I hope Toney will be attending as well.

[DiegoFuego]

Who cares about Pacquiao and Morales, I hope Toney and Rahman throw down! Don't forget Toney smacked Booker at their press conference and we all know what Rahman did to Lewis on ESPN. This press conference suddenly got a whole lot more interesting.
