VIDEO: Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather In Punch-Out! Doesn’t Get Better

-

Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather is something fight fans have wanted to see for the past year. This ever since the two champions started throwing shade at each other across every form of media that they could easily whip the other. It really started when Mayweather made it known that he did not care for people saying that McGregor was the MMA equivalent to him. Something he vehemently criticized when TMZ brought it up.

He went on to say that it’s disrespectful and racist for people to embrace the Irish-born champion for his cocky, trash-talking ways while he’s often vilified for doing the exact same thing. This in turn led to McGregor firing back on Instagram. He in turn felt it was disrespectful of Mayweather to bring race into the issue when his own people have known oppression for centuries.

“Floyd Mayweather, don’t ever bring race into my success again. 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.”

Needless to say the animosity has only grown since then, with the two stating on a number of occasions they’d be more than willing to fight the other. Hypes has steadily continued to build. UFC owner Dana White attempted to push things forward recently by offering each of them $25 million to stage such an event. Mayweather laughed the number off. So it seems fans will have to wait and wonder if it ever happens.
