Straight after this, his team mate James Gallagher was pretty quick to pile on with a healthy dollop of abuse for Mayweather.

Yhe can bate the wife but yhe can't beat the champ champ @TheNotoriousMMA

The wife beating obviously being tied to the murky past of Mayweather whom I personally find to be a scumbag.

Conor followed up with this to Dana White as reported by Ariel Helwani.

White says McGregor told him today, "The McGregor clan has been taking over villages for 300 years and the Mayweather village is next."

Angela Hill wasn’t a fan of that though…

He stole that quote off a whiskey bottle. #ClanMcGregor #McGregorMayweather https://t.co/U575VcK4fo

It started to get a little bit ridiculous and Forest Griffin chimed in with his own tired take on the whole affair.

Dear waiter at CheeseCake Factory and every one else I really have no special insight into @TheNotoriousMMA V @FloydMayweather

Scottish UFC star Steven Ray gave his opinion on the fight feels McGregor has a better chance than people think.

However, things got pretty interesting as Stipe Miocic, the UFC Heavyweight Champion threw down the gauntlet to Anthony Joshua and offered a fight on the card as co-main. Could we see Stipe take on Joshua?

Hey @anthonyfjoshua let's have a proper tussle and still have time for tea and crumpets before the main event! #MayweatherMcGregor
