Cowboys' Dez Bryant calls Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor 'misunderstood'
Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant called Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor “misunderstood” and vowed to be part of a potential record pay-per-view audience for Saturday’s bout.
"People mad just because of how successful they are ... (Mayweather) cares about what he does -- same with McGregor," Bryant told reporters on Thursday (per The Dallas Morning News). "You say something negative, they're going to bite back at your ass. That's my type."

Bryant said he’d watch the fight inside the AT&T Stadium locker room after Saturday’s preseason game against the Oakland Raiders.
