After wrapping up shooting duties for his role in the upcoming season of TUF, former UFC double champ Conor McGregor has been quite active, making multiple appearances on different platforms as he heads into a possible fight against Michael Chandler later this year. Coming off two losses against Dustin Poirier, and a lengthy layoff due to the injury suffered at UFC 264, the Irishman will be hoping to make a statement against ‘Iron’ and prove that he’s still among the top contenders in the promotion.

While the possible bout against Chandler might end up achieving big PPV numbers, there’s no denying that it wouldn’t come close to the numbers that the Irishman’s boxing debut pulled back in 2017. Squaring up against Floyd Mayweather, ‘The Notorious’ made the biggest paycheck of his career, which was reported to be around a hundred million dollars.

Now, while making an appearance on the show ‘Hannity’ on Fox News, the 34-year-old made a serious allegation against the undefeated boxer. Interestingly, all these came after McGregor dropped the F-bomb on live television shocking viewers.
