White appeared upset with the Irishman from the beginning of the press conference, due in no small part to McGregor's decision to show up thirty minutes late.
And White made no secret of his irritation as he claimed that the repeated displays of tardiness would have to stop.
"He's on his way," White said, when asked about the then-empty chair to his left.
"So we're starting without him. He has to start respecting peoples' time, man... yours (media), theirs (fans), mine, theirs (fighters), David Copperfields', everybody's. We only have so much time in this room.
"Listen we're having a press conference here. If it's over before he gets here then it's over. Do you have any questions other than Conor being late?"
