UFC superstar Conor McGregor‘s throwing out fighting words to retired boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. The Notorious One has once again fired off some verbal disses to Money Mayweather.
New footage has surfaced of Conor accusing Mayweather of trying to opt out of a real fight.
“Floyd’s not ready for this. Much respect to Floyd. He’s a solid businessman on what he’s been able to do, he’s a f*cking animal at what he’s been able to do. But as far as real fighting, as far as true pure unarmed combat, Floyd don’t want none of this. He doesn’t want none of this – he doesn’t want to fight. He wants a boxing match, he doesn’t want a fight. I want $100 million cash to fight him under boxing rules. He’s afraid of a real fight.” (TMZ Sports)
Earlier in the week, Conor ignited tensions with Mayweather in an on-street interview.
This week, Mayweather publicly shut down the media’s McGregor comparisons.
“I didn’t know Conor McGregor was undefeated,” Floyd told a paparazzo when compared to him. “I didn’t know he had a reign in the MMA for 20 years and was undefeated and was world champion in five different weight classes. So I guess you guys are telling me something new if you’re saying he’s the Floyd Mayweather of the MMA. I mean, if you’re saying he’s the Floyd Mayweather of the MMA, I’m trying to find out. Have you ever made $300 million in one night? Have you ever made $100 million in one night? Have you ever made $70 million in one night?” (TMZ)
During a recent press conference for UFC 205, McGregor did not hold back the possibility of getting Mayweather to fight him.
“Who the f*ck is that guy? Who the f*ck is that? Who the f*ck is that? Oh my God. When I take that guy’s belt – when I take that guy’s belt, I’m looking around, I don’t know what anybody else has – I might have to jump up and f*cking drag Floyd Mayweather and see what the f*ck he’s at.”
