When Noah Lack asked Khai Wu about Mark Zuckerberg’s reaction to Conor McGregor’s message, he didn’t appear to know much about it. However, he did mention that the 39-year-old billionaire has a tight schedule and is too busy most of the time to think or take notice of anything else. Wu said, “I think he’s too busy with work and life to kind of like, ‘Hey, did you see this guy’s [message]?’ I don’t know he’s way too busy.”

Khai Wu further mentioned that Mark Zuckerberg has thousands of people working for him. This is where he spends most of his time. “He’s got like 70,000 employees or something like that. So I don’t know,” said Zuckerberg’s trainer. Moreover, Wu mentioned that ‘Zuck’ meets many people frequently, which seems to him like Conor McGregor is just another one of those individuals.
