UFC superstar Conor McGregor has no plans of breaking bread or getting an in-person pat on the back from his sports rival. The MMA fighter has responded to a peace offering from Floyd Mayweather.
Conor went to social media this week with some direct messages aimed at Mayweather.
Fuck the Mayweathers, except Senior and Roger.
There is no peace here kid.

A few hours ago, Floyd returned to trolling McGregor despite initially trying to make peace.

This week, Mayweather extended his hand to McGregor and even offered to let him train for his upcoming UFC fight in his Las Vegas facility.
“Conor’s not gonna back down and he’s not a scared fighter at all, win, lose or draw,” Mayweather said at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City … “Conor gonna come to fight.” “I know that UFC got a training facility but we’d like for him to work out at the Mayweather Boxing Club.” “I don’t really have a prediction because I’ve never seen the guy fight that’s facing Conor McGregor — from what I know he’s a hell of a guy that’s on the ground — hell of a grappler — and he can wrestle.” “But, the fans want to see you stand up and fight. That’s what the fans like to see. But, Conor McGregor, he’s a tough competitor, like I said before Conor McGregor’s not gonna back down from anyone, he’s not scared, he’s a warrior.” (TMZ)
In June, Conor McGregor put a little respect on his name after landing on a Forbes highest paid athletes list.
