The 43-year-old Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) beat McGregor (22-4) via 10th-round TKO in a boxing crossover “superfight” in 2017. However, “Money” still has lingering hatred towards “Notorious” after previously claiming he made racist comments at press conferences leading up to their fight.
McGregor, who was TKO’d in the second round by lightweight contender Dustin Poirier last weekend, denied any racially charged motive at the time.
“I seen this post and my take on it is that the world knows Con Artist McLoser can steal everything from me and be loved but I’m hated,” Mayweather wrote in an Instagram post, responding to the supposed double standards in treatment despite both men carrying themselves in a similar way.
“That just lets you all know that racism still exists. Just know, that bum will never beat me or be on my level. I’m just built different, my mindset it on another planet, my skills are second to none, I’m a natural born winner and yes, I talk a lot of trash, but every time I back it up!
