McGregor, of course, took this as a prime opportunity to throw a dig at the undefeated boxing champion.

However when Mayweather told him to 'take care of his business' with the UFC, McGregor found himself with mixed views from UFC fans over weather he should defend his lightweight title first or pursue the fight with Mayweather.

McGregor took the opportunity to post a strong message to the fans on Instagram.

 

I came up under Lorenzo Fertitta and the Fertitta regime. Nobody in the history of the fight game has come up as fast and as young as I have. I now, at 28 years of age, have my eyes firmly set on the 'highest paid fighter' and 'highest earning athlete' accolades. Understand and respect what you are witnessing here. Because not one of you can do nothing to stop it.
