Conor McGregor retired for the third time in four years on Sunday, but Floyd Mayweather Jr. had a few words for him.
In May, McGregor told Mike Tyson, “I will beat Floyd. I promise my life on it.”
Since that statement was made, Mayweather responded on Conor’s retirement post: “If I’m not mistaken, didn’t you tell Mike Tyson you could beat me if we fought a second time? Now you’re quitting! I thought you wanted to beat the best? Well, if you decide to come back, I will be waiting to punish you again.”

UFC boss Dana White was still willing to take McGregor’s retirement announcement at face value.
He said: “If Conor McGregor feels he wants to retire, you know my feelings about retirement. You should absolutely do it. And I love Conor. There’s a handful of people that have made this really fun for me, and he’s one of them.”
