Floyd said Mc Gregor's behavior and antics are not being criticized like his behavior
was back in his day. Says it smacks of pure racism!
Here is Mc Gregors response:
"Floyd Mayweather, don't ever bring race into my success again," McGregor said. "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."
The UFC featherweight champion wasn't finished with his tirade either, because he then challenged Mayweather to a fight while trashing the retired boxer's last bout, against Andre Berto, which earned paltry numbers on pay-per-view by comparison to most of his fights and didn't sell out the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
McGregor has welcomed a fight with Mayweather in the past, and the outspoken Irish fighter certainly didn't back down this time either while issuing another offer to the undefeated boxer.

"If you want, we can organize a fight no problem," McGregor wrote. "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."
As of yet, Mayweather hasn't responded to McGregor's post.
