The Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight noted how the fight between Floyd and Jake’s brother Logan Paul was “cancelled once already” after the first one was postponed.

“The world is watching this on Twitter,” McGregor shared. “He’d fight a half decent pro and command 20m upwards, yet it’s this shit. Whatever way you spin this, it’s sad. Fight someone for real, on your record, or fuck off mate. Slap head!”
A face-to-face took place Thursday in Miami between the legendary boxer and Logan Paul during a media event to announce their upcoming fight. An altercation then broke out after Paul’s brother Jake snatched Mayweather’s hat and took off.
“I’ll kill you, motherfucker,” Mayweather shouted at one point as he was being physically held back.
