Conor McGregor continues to tease a possible boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr. after getting his boxing license for the state of California. He also had some choice words for Mayweather's camp, as well as former boxing world champion, Paulie Malignaggi.
McGregor was in Belfast over the weekend and he held a Q&A at The Devenish bar. He said that the next move should come from Mayweather's camp. He added that if the retired boxer is not willing to fight him, he is looking at other boxers to fight.
"They're scrambling right now, but that's OK. I'll leave them scrambling. I've got some other boxing opportunities, some potential opponents in mind. Some previous Floyd opponents. I can bring in anyone in the game. We'll see what happens," McGregor said via MMA Fighting.
The former two-division champ was also asked about his thoughts about Malignaggi. It should be noted that the former boxing world champ blasted McGregor and said that he would "knock the beard" off of the Irishman's face.
"Who the f*** is that guy. I don't know who the f*** that is. I don't even know who the f*** that is, but I'll slap the nose off him if he ever mentions my name again," McGregor responded.
McGregor is currently on hiatus from mixed martial arts as he waits for the birth of his first baby. He is also waiting for the UFC to give him a stake in the company. But during his short absence, the UFC has stripped him off of his featherweight championship.
The talk of McGregor vs. Mayweather has heated up in the past couple of days. However, Mayweather's camp seems to be uninterested in talking about McGregor. But if "Notorious" gets a license Nevada, the dream fight now has better chances of happening.
On the other hand, UFC President Dana White is not buying the McGregor vs. Mayweather talk. He told Yahoo! Sports that the boxing match has no chance of happening. Nevertheless, it is not impossible and fight fans surely want to see it.
McGregor has also claimed that he still a two-division champ and the UFC has to take the belt away from him personally. The company has already announced that Jose Aldo is now the UFC featherweight champion.
