CONOR McGREGOR has sent a sick tweet in Floyd Mayweather’s direction taunting the unbeaten boxing legend about a “funeral home”.
The controversial Irishman lost their megabucks boxing showing in Las Vegas and there has been talk of a rematch, this time in McGregor’s MMA domain.
It’s odds-on the showdown will NOT happen but McGregor obviously thought an open invite might push things along.
In a thinly-veiled dig at the ‘safer’ world of boxing, he took to Twitter to show the two fighters in UFC action.
And McGregor’s caption read: “Shin bone to the cheek bone. The rule set kept you out the funeral home.”
McGregor has been left “shaking in bed for two days” by a serious virus and was forced to cancel his New Year’s Eve bash.

He said: “I’ll leave that with the rest of the bad behind me in 2017 and take with me the many great experiences I’ve had this year!”
Whether that includes multi-millionaire Mayweather into the octagon remains to be seen.
