Conor McGregor vows to disfigure the face of Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.
It’s Christmas eve but still, the McGregor-Mayweather hype just refuses to let off.
Irish UFC fight star Conor McGregor is in the festive mood to dish out some more anti-Mayweather jibes towards the American:

Interestingly in his photo shop image above he is donned with a pair of boxing gloves, adding further growing speculation to the notion that he is getting ready to make the jump from MMA to boxing having recently been granted a professional boxing license by the California Athletic Commission.
To many though, this will be another further marketing ploy from the man they call the ‘Notorious One’ who is currently waiting for the arrival of his first child and has no scheduled fight in the UFC next up just yet.
One can only imagine a McGregor-Mayweather boxing spectacle could happen with the blessing of McGregor’s new employers who recently purchased the UFC for a whopping $4.2 million earlier this year.
McGregor has been rumored to have asked for a meeting with the new UFC owners recently.
One would also suspect they’d only give the go ahead on something like this if they were involved in a co-promotion with the event, where they would also benefit financially, in no doubt what would be an event that would generate enormous interest and revenue.
Mayweather is thought to be at his heaviest ever weight for some time at the moment (160lbs), so there is no telling if he’d have any interest in the first place in getting back into a combat sport situation.
Time will tell.
