“Mayweather Still Fight at 46 While Conor Is Scared to Come Back at the Ring”: Conor McGregor’s ‘Unimpressed’ Remarks About Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III Doesn’t Sit Well With Combat World

Imagine an era where legendary boxers are hopping out of retirement to reclaim their glory while the titans of MMA take an introspective backseat, contemplating the stakes of their return. It’s 2023, and the lines between boxing and MMA continue to blur. Yet in this whirlpool of cross-sport chaos, two names emerge and clash in an unanticipated swirl of words – Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.

Remember Floyd Mayweather, who turned 46 this year and is still dancing around the ring with a gusto that belies his age? Well, the boxing titan recently faced off with John Gotti III in an exhibition match that’s left the combat sports world reeling for more reasons than one. On the other hand, Conor McGregor, once the face of the UFC, has been on a seemingly endless hiatus following a series of unfortunate events in his career.

But the McGregor-Mayweather saga isn’t about a potential face-off in the ring – not yet, at least. It’s about a war of words sparked by a single, unforgettable exhibition match. Words that, once unleashed, have opened a Pandora’s box that neither fighter – nor the combat sports world can ignore.

McGregor’s unimpressed verdict on Mayweather vs. Gotti III fight and fans’ uproar

When confronted with the question of Floyd Mayweather’s recent performance against John Gotti III, McGregor’s response was decidedly dismissive. In an interview, he commented, “I wasn’t that impressed to be honest with you.” And when the interviewer expressed surprise, McGregor reaffirmed his stance, “Wasn’t impressed.”

Digging further into his critique, McGregor suggested a lack of purpose behind Mayweather’s bouts. “I don’t know what he’s at. There’s no meaning behind it. He’s just here and there. There’s no meaning behind the bouts. I enjoyed the brawl afterwards, more than I did the actual bout.”

Several fans took the opportunity to criticize McGregor himself. For instance, Adrian commented, “Mayweather still fights at 46 while Conor is scared to come back at the ring.” Similarly, LiveMedia TV retorted: “Bruh, Mayweather is 46 n retired! Conor is a joke!”

The reactions of fans to McGregor’s remarks were mixed. Some, like Andre, expressed excitement at the prospect of another face-off between the two fighters: “I’d love to see Conor in the ring w Floyd, again. I’d pay this time.”

Others, like Razear, refuted McGregor’s critique of Mayweather’s motivations: “There’s no meaning behind the bouts. There doesn’t have to be, dude is just cleaning up scrubs for an easy paycheck.” Meanwhile, some fans, like Jeremy Hilton, found themselves agreeing with McGregor, though perhaps not in the way he might expect: “He didn’t need to even fight well… He didn’t have a challenge, so how could he do well?? I agree!”

McGregor’s critique and these varied fan responses throw light on a complex narrative involving two of the most prominent figures in the combat world. The John Gotti fight was one of the most happening event in recent times. It’s no surprise that McGregor enjoyed the brawl more than the fight.
