Floyd Mayweather Jr.: record, next fight and profile →
Floyd Mayweather is not getting involved in the ongoing war of words between former two division champion Paulie Malignaggi and UFC superstar Conor McGregor. Malignaggi was hired as a sparring partner and was helping McGregor prepare for his upcoming professional boxing debut, taking place against Mayweather on August 26th from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
At a recent media day, Floyd Mayweather formally apologized for calling Conor McGregor a "f*ggot" during last month’s international press tour.

Mayweather used the homophobic slur to get even with McGregor, they said at the time, for calling him a "monkey" off-mic at an earlier press conference.
In a recent interview with ESPN, Floyd Mayweather appeared to go an uncharacteristic route and concede that Conor McGregor was stepping into the ring on August 26 with several physical advantages that could spell trouble for the 49-0 boxer in Las Vegas. Those of us with any knowledge of the boxing game know better than that considering that age, size and strength have never been attributes that stopped Mayweather from having his hand raised in victory.
