Conor McGregor fuels speculation about fight with Floyd Mayweather

If Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor don’t end up fighting in an unprecedented meeting of superstars from different sports, it won’t be due to a lack of willingness from the Irishman.

On Sunday morning, McGregor fueled the rumors about a fight between him and Mayweather by sharing a phony fight promotion poster on social media.

Let’s face it — McGregor will tweet just about anything to create a buzz. He recently sent a tweet about UFC 200 that got his fans excited but was a complete lie. This is probably no different, at least for now.

However, the rumors of a Mayweather-McGregor fight may not be as far-fetched as initially believed. UFC boss Dana White insists it isn’t going to happen, but you might want to check out what Mayweather’s father said about it on Friday.
