New footage has emerged of Floyd poking fun at McGregor for getting busted over damaging a fan’s phone.
Enter Mayweather — wearing a super bright yellow sweatshirt so everyone could see him — instructing the photogs to “Shoot me, man! Shoot greatness!” Floyd knew exactly what he was doing … and so did everyone in his massive entourage — just look at the smirks while Mayweather puts on his show in the middle of the most famous part of L.A.

A few hours after getting busted, Conor made bond and had his attorney release a statement.

He made $12,500 bond at around 10:30 p.m. local time. “Last evening Conor McGregor was involved in a minor altercation over a cell phone that resulted in a call to law enforcement,” McGregor’s attorney Samuel Rabin said in a statement. “Mr McGregor appreciates the response of law enforcement and pledges his full cooperation.” (MMA Fighting)
According to reports, McGregor allegedly smashed the phone outside of Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau hotel.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, at around 5 AM Monday, the owner of the phone was walking out of the hotel at the same time as Conor and as the fan attempted to take a photo, Conor slapped the victim’s phone out of his hand, causing it to fall to the ground. McGregor then allegedly stomped on the phone several times, damaging it. According to cops, McGregor then picked up the phone and walked away with it. (TMZ)
