In the latest episode of his ongoing saga with Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather briefly went on FaceTime to chat with his "buddy" and one of McGregor's bitter rivals: Nate Diaz. "I think you won that second fight, too," Mayweather tells Diaz, referencing The Notorious's victory via majority decision at UFC 202. “I won that second fight, too, and he’s trying to hide from me now,” Diaz responds. “He’s hiding out.”
Mayweather talked about meeting up with Diaz in person, and possibly getting him a TMT sponsorship in the future. Their conversation eventually switched over to their mutual foe at the moment: McGregor. "Tell me what I got to do," Mayweather said. "I seen what you did to him, now I'm gonna put the finishing touches on him."
Over the last week, Mayweather has been throwing a verbal combo at McGregor. When asked about The Notorious acquiring a boxing license in the state of California, Floyd struck down any idea that they're inching closer to a potential fight, adding that Conor is "blowing smoke up everybody's ass." The very next day, Money Mayweather ripped the UFC lightweight champion during an Instagram live video, threatening to "slap the shit out of McGregor" next time they met face-to-face. "You a punk ass, McGregor," he said. "I'm gonna slap McGregor. I'm gonna slap the shit out of McGregor when I see him."
UFC president Dana White has repeatedly made it clear that as long as McGregor is attached to the organization, there will not be a fight between these two guys. So, for now, all the talk going on is just that.
