There's been another revelation about the heated London press conference between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor last night.

The boxer and UFC fighter entered a packed Wembley Arena to trash talk each other ahead of their fight on August 26, as part of a world tour.

At the press conference Mayweather referred to McGregor as a 'faggot' in between describing him as a 'hoe', 'pussy' and a 'punk', drawing criticism that his language was homophobic.

Now a representative for Mayweather has made a shocking claim about a remark the Irishman allegedly made off-mic to the 39-0 boxer.

Mayweather's rep told TMZ: "The reason Floyd called Conor the F word is because Conor called Floyd a monkey. Floyd has nothing against gays or lesbians at all ... Floyd has them on his staff. Floyd has nothing but the utmost respect for gays and lesbians."

TMZ were told the monkey comment allegedly happened off mic when Conor was storming around the stage and hyping up the crowd.

Here's what people have been saying about the alleged racial slur:

It goes without saying that neither man should be making these type of comments.
