Everyone\u2019s favorite combat sports feud is heating up again, as Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor exchanged insults over social media earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The beef began over the weekend with some seemingly innocent and even complementary comments made by Mayweather. But within a few days, the two men were at each other\u2019s throats yet again.<\/p>\n

Mayweather Offers Gym, McGregor Isn\u2019t Having It<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The war of words began when Mayweather offered up some thoughts on McGregor\u2019s coming lightweight title fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. Mayweather admitted his ignorance about McGregor\u2019s opponent, but still shared his feelings on the Irish fighter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really have a prediction because I\u2019ve never seen the guy that\u2019s facing Conor McGregor \u2013 from what I know he\u2019s a hell of a guy that\u2019s on the ground \u2013 hell of a grappler \u2013 and he can wrestle,\u201d Mayweather told TMZ. \u201cBut, the fans want to see you standing up and fight\u2026Conor McGregor, he\u2019s a tough competitor, like I said before Conor McGregor\u2019s not gonna back down from anyone, he\u2019s not scared, he\u2019s a warrior.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayweather finished his comments by extending an invitation to the UFC superstar.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that UFC got a training facility, but we\u2019d like for him to work out at the Mayweather Boxing Club,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

That comment didn\u2019t go over well with Conor at all, to say the least.<\/p>\n

\u201cF— the Mayweathers, except Senior and Roger,\u201d McGregor responded on Twitter. \u201cThere is no peace here kid. Step up or step down.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Naturally, Mayweather didn\u2019t take kindly to that message. Firing back on Instagram, the undefeated boxer mocked McGregor by sharing a photo of their fight from last summer, along with a short taunt of his own.<\/p>\n

\u201cEasiest 9 figures I ever made,\u201d Mayweather wrote. \u201cAll work is what?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayweather also tried to involve his fans in the feud. On Wednesday, he posted a photo of him landing a punch square to McGregor\u2019s face, and asked his followers to repost it with their own captions for \u201cWhoop Connor Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fighters Could Meet in MMA Rematch<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The current spat is the latest chapter in an on-and-off rivalry between the two fighters, each of whom have been dominant in their own disciplines.<\/p>\n

Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired from professional boxing with a perfect 50-0 record, having won world titles in five different weight classes. Meanwhile, McGregor has a 21-3 record in the MMA world, and was the first person ever to simultaneously hold two UFC championships at the same time when he won both the featherweight and lightweight championships in 2016.<\/p>\n

McGregor also has a 0-1 record in professional boxing \u2013 losing to Mayweather by TKO<\/a> in the 10th round of their heavily hyped meeting last August.<\/p>\n

Since then, there has been speculation that Mayweather and McGregor could meet again in an MMA bout \u2013 a fight in which McGregor would be an overwhelming favorite. Mayweather has said he is working to round out his MMA skills<\/a>, while McGregor would welcome the chance to avenge his loss in the ring.<\/p>\n

Before that, however, McGregor first needs to fight the undefeated Nurmagomedov (26-0) on Oct. 6. According to Bwin, the Russian champion is a -167 favorite over McGregor (+135).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
