Boxing icon Floyd Mayweather Jr. is blasting away at Conor McGregor. Money Mayweather has lit up social media to troll the prized fighter after his Saturday night knockout punch in his UFC pay-per-view fight.
Floyd Mayweather Trolls Conor
The sports star went to his Instagram page and didn’t hold back on going off on McGregor. Mayweather questioned how Conor could want to really make a name for himself in the boxing world when he couldn’t come up with a W in his own sport.
“I seen this post and my take on it is that the world knows Con Artist McLoser can steal everything from me and be loved but I’m hated. That just lets you all know that racism still exist. Just know, that bum will never be me or be on my level. I’m just built different, my mindset is on another planet, my skills are second to none, I’m a natural born winner and yes I talk a lot of trash, but every time I back it up! This is what they hate. It’s sad that you can be a poor black kid from the ghetto that has dealt with racism your whole life and work extremely hard to put yourself and your family in a better position, and most of the hate come from my own people. Connor cannot even win in his own sport, but talking about coming back to boxing to fight Pacquiao. Nobody wants to see that, it’s like my leftovers eating leftovers.”
Despite taking the shocking loss by knockout punch, McGregor has since lit up Instagram with an uplifting message about returning to the octagon.
“Thanks for the support everyone! Was not my night/morning in there but a great contest to improve on. I’m excited at the blockbuster trilogy I now have on my hands. Dustin is a hell of a competitor and I look forward to going again. Elevating the leg and the spirit on my way home! God bless us all, happy Sunday ❤️”

In June 2020, McGregor shocked the world for a third time by appearing to announce his retirement from MMA fighting. However, months later he returned to training and preparing for his bout.
“Hey guys I’ve decided to retire from fighting. Thank you all for the amazing memories! What a ride it’s been! Here is a picture of myself and my mother in Las Vegas post one of my World title wins! Pick the home of your dreams Mags I love you! Whatever you desire it’s yours” -Conor McGregor’s Twitter

The announcement came just months after winning a huge comeback UFC fight. Media outlets also considered the news being a possible negotiation tactic.
McGregor returned to the Octagon in January at UFC 246, finishing Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in just 40 seconds. Considering this is the third time McGregor has done such a thing, not a lot of people are buying this as a legitimate retirement —‚and feeling that this is just a negotiation ploy. In fact, the previous two retirements were announcements via social media as well. (Fansided)
The Track Record
In the past few years, Conor McGregor has retired multiple times. The first one came in 2016 while he also retired as recently as last year.
The first time McGregor retired came back in 2016 during his rivalry with Nate Diaz. After the rematch between the two was pulled from UFC 200 due to McGregor not showing up for a media event, the Irish superstar retired…for all of a day. The rematch did end up taking place at UFC 202. McGregor then took to Twitter to announce retirement in 2019, once again during failed negotiations between himself and the UFC. Around the same time, it was reported that McGregor was facing his first of two sexual assault charges in Ireland. (Fansided)
