Conor McGregor is known for his outspoken and often controversial comments. The Irish superstar doesn’t hold back from saying what he thinks and recently boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather has been on his radar. ‘The Notorious’ has been calling out ‘Money’ for a second boxing fight for a long time. This callout may be due to the financial benefit that both these fighters bring to the table. However, ‘Mystic’ Mac would also be looking to settle the scores against the undefeated boxer.

Conor McGregor is confident of getting the ” job done” against Floyd Mayweather

In a recent tweet, just hours before taking the sly dig at Mayweather, the Irishman seemed confident to get the “job done” against the famous boxer.

McGregor said, “Round 9. I was playing ping pong with this guys head in there at many times in this fight. If you don’t think there is some real nice adjustments that can be made and implemented in a second fight, to get the job finished, you’re silly”.

McGregor has repeatedly expressed his desire to avenge his loss to Mayweather. ‘Money’ on the other hand, has been more hesitant to accept the challenge. Despite Mayweather’s reluctance, McGregor remains determined to secure a rematch. He has continued to taunt Mayweather on social media.
