Floyd Mayweather apologizes for calling Conor McGregor homophobic slur on promotional tour

LAS VEGAS — In talking about some things Conor McGregor might have said to cross the line on the recent promotional tour, Floyd Mayweather brought up something he said himself.

Mayweather said he was sorry for the “negative” comment about homosexuals during the London stop of the MayMac World Tour during a press conference Thursday at Mayweather’s media workout day here at his gym.

Mayweather called Conor McGregor a “f*ggot” during their on-stage verbal exchange last month.

“I spoke on disrespect,” Mayweather said of a recent ESPN interview he did with Stephen A. Smith.
