“Floyd Mayweather, whenever you’re ready for that promised MMA fight, I’m here. I heard the White House is nice in the summer,” McGregor wrote.
The provocation came with the fighter's usual confidence, who guaranteed that a confrontation under mixed martial arts rules would have a quick and brutal outcome:
"Floyd in MMA? EASY. 10 seconds," he added.
Fun times @danawhite, @ufc!@FloydMayweather, when you are ready for that promised MMA bout, I am here.

A Billion-Dollar Rivalry
The story between McGregor and Mayweather is one of the most lucrative in sports. In August 2017, they starred in the "Money Fight," with Conor relinquishing his UFC title and temporarily switching to boxing.
McGregor pocketed US$100 million, approximately R$537 million at the current exchange rate, while Floyd took home US$300 million, more than R$1,61 billion.
On that occasion, Mayweather won by technical knockout in the 10th round, extending his record to 50 wins, none in boxing. Since then, speculation about a rematch has never ceased, although Mayweather has remained retired from professional boxing, participating only in exhibition fights.
McGregor frequently brings up the idea of a "verbal agreement" for an MMA fight, claiming that after he entered the world of boxing to face Floyd, the American should return the favor by stepping into the octagon.
