Floyd Mayweather followed Conor McGregor and battled with fans in general after the Irish TKO defeat at UFC 257.
McGregor (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) finished second in the second round with Dustin Poirier in the main event on the “UFC Fight Island”, as the last appearance of the Irishman’s octagon ended with the third defeat in his last six UFC appearances.
After the fight, Mayweather, who stopped McGregor in the 10th round of their boxing match in 2017, jumped on his Instagram page to slam his former opponent and criticize fans for supporting Dubliner while I hate him.
Mayweather shared a post asking “Why is @floydmayweather ugly for the way he behaves, but @thenotoriousmma is loved for the same way he behaves?” and responded with a lengthy debate about Dubliner, whom he called “Con Artist McLoser,” while calling out fans for racism because he doesn’t feel as loved by fighting fans as the former two-division UFC champion.
“I saw this post and my opinion is that people know that Con Artist McLoser can steal everything from me and be loved, but I’m ugly,” he complained. “It simply comes to our notice then that racism still exists. You just know that that tramp will never be me or I won’t be at my level. I just built differently, my mentality is on another planet, my abilities are not equal, I am a natural winner and yes, I talk a lot of garbage, but every time I support it! Here’s what they hate.
“It’s sad that you can be a poor black child in the ghetto who has been racist all your life and you work hard to put yourself and your family in a better position, and most of the hatred comes from to my people. ”
Mayweather then turned his attention to McGregor, while mocking the suggestion that the Irishman could face his former rival Manny Pacquiao in the boxing ring later this year.
“Connor (sic) can’t even win in his own sport,” he said. “But talking about going back to boxing to fight Pacquiao. Nobody wants to see that, it’s like my leftovers eat leftovers. ”
