No one has seen the type of skills Conor McGregor will display in his debut as a professional boxer against Floyd Mayweather. However, there is little doubt that he is a world champion in shit talking and psychological warfare. The Irishman pulled off another stunt by wearing a CJ Watson Golden State jersey to taunt Floyd Mayweather. The maneuver was reminder of the incident where Floyd found messages from NBA player CJ Watson in the phone of his baby mother Josie Harris. Which prompted Floyd to hit and kick Harris, according to reports given by his son to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Although pulling out the jersey was intended to jab at Mayweather; it was not appreciated by Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green. The outspoken Green went on Instagram and said “We rocking with Floyd bro not you…take that off bruh.”
That statement prompted McGregor to fire back “Now ask yourself why I’m rocking C.J. when I don’t know or give a f–k about basketball. I dribble heads off the floor. Not a ball. This is no game here kid.” Even though people are expecting Mayweather to easily beat McGregor, the antics surrounding the fight have made it more appealing to watch.
