Conor McGregor calls Floyd Mayweather ‘a man who beats his wife in front of his kids’ as bitter war of words continues
CONOR McGREGOR’s war of words with Floyd Mayweather escalated after the Irishman labelled his opponent “a man who beats his wife in front of his kids”.
Mayweather was sentenced to 90 days in prison in 2012 when his former partner Josie Harris claimed she was punched and kicked by the American boxer.

UFC star McGregor’s “dancing monkey” comment caused uproar within the Mayweather camp, but the Irishman said the quote was taken out of context.
The 29-year-old said he was referring to the circus in Mayweather’s gym and he would “not disrespect any race like that”.
But McGregor added: “”If I was to label him as any animal, it would be the rat.
“I wouldn’t even label him after the great ape, he is a f****** rat and a weasel, because that’s what a rat and a weasel does, tries to manipulate words and create something that’s not there.
