Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. has continued to
troll UFC star Conor McGregor, who suffered a serious leg injury in
Saturday’s loss to Dustin Poirier.
Mayweather posted a picture Monday
depicting McGregor’s injury on Instagram:
The former five-division world champion
previously posted a betting slip that showcased a significant
windfall from picking Poirier to win the UFC 264 main event:
Mayweather defeated McGregor by
10th-round knockout in an August 2017 boxing match for the 50th win
of his undefeated boxing career.
Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather
Promotions, said in June a rematch was still possible.
“Most definitely,” Ellerbe told
reporters. “That, right there, is very personal.”
McGregor, who underwent surgery on his
left tibia and fibula on Monday, had expressed interest in another boxing
matchup with Mayweather in a January 2020 interview with MMA journalist Ariel
Helwani.
“I’d like to rematch Floyd,”
McGregor said, calling the first fight a “great experience” despite the loss. “I think we should rematch Floyd.”
Mayweather has shifted his focus to
exhibitions since the win over McGregor, facing off with Japanese
kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in December 2018 and YouTube star Logan
Paul in June. It’s unclear whether a potential rematch would be a pro
bout or an exhibition.
For now, it appears the leader of the
Money Team is content trolling the Notorious as he begins his
recovery.
