If you thought that Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr. were on their way to becoming drinking buddies, think again.
TMZ Sports recently interviewed Mayweather and asked him about the upcoming fight between McGregor and lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov scheduled for UFC 229. Not only did Mayweather refer to his Irish rival as a “tough competitor” and “a warrior,” but he essentially invited McGregor to train at his gym in Las Vegas.
“I’ll talk with [UFC President Dana White], I may talk with Conor to get some tickets,” Mayweather said.
