We already know there will be no extensive world tour but Chael Sonnen, speaking on ESPN's 'Ariel and The Bad Guy', claimed fans would have to settle for one presser. He stated:
"I hear they are going to do a press conference in New York. They're not going to do a world tour... Can you imagine them going to Dublin, can you imagine them going to Moscow for a press conference? "That would be the most unbelievable ting in the history of combat sports, but it sounds like they are not going to do it.

We'll get through this and then we'll announce all the media stuff we've got planned for Conor and Khabib. "It won't be anything like that [Mayweather vs. McGregor] but there should have, but there isn't enough time. "First of all, this is the biggest fight in both of each other's careers. They need time to train and get ready. It's a month away but, yeah, we'll have some good stuff for the press and fans."McGregor is not expected to travel to the United States until mid-September so it is conceivable that he would stop off in New York for an East Coast press conference before something at the T-Mobile Arena during fight week.
