After a source revealed to Yahoo Sports earlier that a date had been agreed for the highly anticipated McGregor-Mayweather fight, the Irishman took to Twitter.
As you'd expect, there was nothing too serious about his post, but rather sarcasm, as has been the case recently with 'The Notorious'.
He Tweeted the words: "THE FIGHT IS ON,"confirming the news, though many failed to realise the elephant in the room.
People saw the picture of the pair, assuming the person on the left is his future opponent, but if you look closely it's Floyd Mayweather Snr.

It's just another one of McGregor's 'old' jokes aimed at the undefeated boxer.
Either that or he typed "Mayweather" into Google and got the wrong person during the midst of excitement.
Anyway, that didn't matter, as people began to lose their shit for what will be the biggest fight of the year, and probably the decade.
Floyd himself posted to Instagram to confirm the fight, uploading a video with those oh so familiar words... "ITTTTT'S SHOWTIIIIIME."

Saturday, August 26, make a note of it, it's going to be a big one.
Here we, here we, here we fucking go...
