Floyd Mayweather Catches Heat in the Media After Shot at Conor McGregor’s Net Worth Backfires

January 20, 2017

WrestleMania star and undefeated boxing Champion Floyd Mayweather continues to fan the flames of a potential fight between him and UFC star Conor McGregor, as Mayweather recently posted the Tweet below, taking a shot at McGregor’s earning power.

According to Forbes, however, Conor McGregor made $22 million last year alone, and his overall net worth is estimated at around $35 million, compared to Mayweather’s $650 million net worth.

Mayweather took a lot of heat yesterday and today on Twitter and in the media, h/t to Fox Sports, for botching the actual Conor McGregor net worth by grossly underestimating it.

As we noted last week, UFC President Dana White made a big money fight offer to both Mayweather and McGregor, an offer which Mayweather later laughed at.

Before you ask for $25M, be worth more than $25M. You have the “2” and the “5” right but you meant to say $2.5M not $25M. pic.twitter.com/07vaWF0hen
