Floyd Mayweather Jr – Conor McGregor Feud Is On: UFC Champ Challenges Boxer To A Fight
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor fight are currently tangled in a feud after the undefeated American boxer raised racism in comparing his trash talking to the UFC champ.
It took a little while before McGregor responded to Floyd's claim. However, his words are spicy enough to start a heated feud and set the stage for a Floyd Mayweather Jr-Conor McGregor fight in the ring, although that might seem impossible.
In his lengthy Instagram post, he asked the boxing champion to not bring up racism card again as he, too, has been through a lot for being an Irish.
"Floyd Mayweather, don't ever bring race into my success again," he wrote. "I am an Irishman. My people have been oppressed our entire existence. And still very much are. I understand the feeling of prejudice. It is a feeling that is deep in my blood. In my family's long history of warfare there was a time where just having the name 'McGregor' was punishable by death. Do not ever put me in a bracket like this again."
Conor McGregor also brought his feud with Floyd Mayweather Jr. to a whole new level as he challeged the undefeated boxer to a fight, and at the same time threw shades at the turnout of the American's last fight with Andre Berto.
"If you want we can organise a fight no problem," he said. "I will give you a fair 80/20 split purse in my favor seen as your last fight bombed at every area of revenue. At 27 years of age I now hold the key to this game. The game answers to me now. "
This Floyd Mayweather Jr and Conor McGregor feud started when the pound-for-pound champ claimed people are biased about their perception. He lamented the fact that when the UFC featherweight champ trash talks, he is being admired. When he does it, the press labels him cocky and arrogant.
"I don't really know the McGregor guy, never seen him fight...they say he talk a lot of trash and people praise him for it, but when I did it, they say I'm cocky and arrogant," he said in interview with Fight Hype adding that it is "So biased!"
"Like I said before, all I'm saying is this, I ain't racist at all, but I'm telling you racism still exists."
It might impossible to see the feud between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Conor McGregor into a full-blown fight since they are from different disciplines. But if that happens, it would certainly set record sales.
