Mayweather doles out $10,000 to fan for caption on McGregor defeat video

As the feud between boxers Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor continues, Mayweather has uploaded a fight video of McGregor on Instagram and offered fans $10,000 for the best caption.

McGregor was beaten by Nate Diaz at UFC 196 in March 2016. Although he had a revenge in August, Mayweather won’t let McGregor forget the defeat after he was left a bloody mess by Diaz.

The boxing legend posted a clip of the famous defeat on Instagram, alongside a picture of himself pointing and laughing.

The Instagram post read: “CAPTION THIS! Best caption wins $10,000.00. The winner will be announced on Monday, Dec 19. Stay tuned ! #TMT”. And a message at the end of the film reads: “49-0 vs Connor The Notorious Quitter.”

This Instagram jibe comes after Mayweather vowed to slap the Irishman next time he sees him.

Mayweather and McGregor have exchanged verbals for months amid rumours they will face off in a super-fight. But McGregor, who was issued with a boxing licence in California at the start of December, had said he wasn’t bothered if the fight between them takes place or not.

“Since I’ve got that boxing licence, Floyd’s fat boxing manager came out and was like, ‘Floyd’s in the Bahamas. He doesn’t care about Conor,” McGregor said.
