McGregor recently mocked his former boxing opponent, Floyd Mayweather, out of nowhere. “The Notorious” reacted to a video of Mayweather from 2018, which was shortly after their fight in 2017. In the video, “Money” can be seen entering an MMA cage inside a gym and walking around. McGregor simply reacted to the photo with a “tears of joy” emoticon.
A Lucrative Payday
McGregor was the UFC featherweight and lightweight champion when he fought former five- division boxing champion Mayweather in a massive boxing match, which was billed as the “Money” fight. Mayweather tired out McGregor before stopping him in the 10th round. Mayweather’s declared payout from the fight was $100 million, and McGregor’s disclosed payout was $30 million. However, both reportedly earned much more from the fight, with Mayweather reportedly making $280 million and McGregor making $130 million. While ideas were subsequently floating about a potential MMA match between the two, it never came to fruition.
McGregor (22-6) is now scheduled to return to MMA for the first time since breaking his leg in a trilogy loss against Dustin Poirier in 2021. The Dubliner will take on Max Holloway in a welterweight bout at UFC 329 on July 11 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
