The rivalry between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor was already pretty fierce.

In little over a month, the two will go face-to-face as the MMA-legend, Conor 'Notorious' McGregor, makes his boxing bow against the man with a 49-0 record, Floyd 'Money' Mayweather.

Over the last couple of weeks, the pair have been taking verbal blows at one another in a series of four press conferences.

It's seen everything from Mayweather branding McGregor a 'racist' and wearing an Irish flag on stage, to the Irishman branding Mayweather a schoolboy and getting the crowd to chant 'Fuck The Mayweathers'.

Now, McGregor has taken yet another dig at Mayweather, this time over his criminal record.

In 2012, Mayweather was sentenced to 90 days in county jail for the battery against Josie Harris - the mother of his three children. He was also told to complete 100-hours of community service, attend a 12-month domestic abuse program, and pay a £2,000 fine.

He was charged with beating her up after discovering she'd allegedly slept with NBA player, CJ Watson.

McGregor was seen in an Instagram post wearing a Golden State Warriors top with number 23 on it. It's the same-style top worn by Watson during his term there between 2008 and 2010.

Many saw it as a severe trolling by Notorious.


Although both Mayweather and Watson have remained quiet on the matter, one man who was vocal is the current number 23 at the Warriors, Draymond Green.

Posting the picture on Instagram, he wrote: "We rocking with Floyd bro not you... take that off bruh."

McGregor soon fired back: "That's CJ Watson mate. I don't know who the fuck you are. No disrespect tho kid, keep hustling and stay in school.

"Now ask yourself why I'm rocking CJ when I don't know or give a fuck about basketball.

"I dribble heads off the floor. Not a ball. This is no game here kid."

Green wasn't going to take it lying down however, and soon replied: "Hahahaha that number won't be worn again when I'm finished with it clown!

"Gold medallist, NBA champ, all star, DPOY [Defensive Player Of The Year] etc!!! Hahahaha stop it boy!

"Nate Diaz (Bay Area stand up) whooped you in your ring! Money May about to destroy!!!

"Take that warrior jersey off bruh you're an incredible internet troll we don't rock with you! Go train bum!!"

Ladies and Gentlemen, please mark your diaries for August 26. It's going to go off!
