Using his Twitter profile, McGregor responded to a post related to Tyson's words about his super fight with Mayweather and even posted a photo of himself after training to illustrate his response to the American.
“That's cool, Mike, but I'm the new Don Kind, son. The money is all mine. (Everyone who doubted me) will eat their own words until the end of their days, while I will eat lobster”, provoked McGregor, in allusion to Tyson's former fight promoter, who signed a contract in which he received exorbitant amounts on top. of the work of the former heavyweight boxing champion.
In an interview with the “Pardon My Take” podcast, Tyson had suggested that Conor should not have agreed to fight Mayweather under boxing rules and that this was foolish on his part.
“McGregor is going to be killed. I was crazy because I thought they were going to use MMA rules against boxing, because that's what it's all about: can a boxer beat an MMA athlete? Conor put himself in a stupid position where he's going to get knocked out, because this guy (Mayweather) has been doing this his whole life, since he (McGregor) was a little baby. And (in this fight) Conor won't be able to kick or grab and stuff like that. He won’t have much of a chance,” Tyson originally declared.
