Conor McGregor runs the whole f**king show these days…according to Conor McGregor.
‘The game answers to me now’ the Irishman claimed in an Instagram post which took a shot at Floyd Mayweather.
To be fair to the new featherweight champion, he broke some serious records in his 13-second knock-out of Jose Aldo and earned the UFC a sh*t load of cash.
But the world is still waiting with baited breath to see whether McGregor will be fighting Rafael Dos Anjos for the lightweight belt at UFC 197 on March 5.
We already know Holly Holm and Miesha Tate have been confirmed for the fight and Dos Anjos is already straining at the leash to have a pop at the Dubliner – so what’s the hold up?
Well, according to Brazilian outlet Combate , it’s actually McGregor himself that is holding up the announcement.
Why? Well they claim that The Notorious is holding out for more money before the Brazilian champ can rock out the red panties.
Combate claims that, despite a verbal agreement being in place, ‘The Notorious’ is attempting to negotiate a bigger payday with the UFC after information about the March 5 event leaked late last week.
While there is no confirmation of that, it’s interesting to note the social media activity of Dos Anjos’ manager Ali Abdel-Aziz on Monday morning.
Abdel-Aziz took to Twitter to post multiple messages that lent credibility to Combate’s story as he suggested, using Emoji’s broken English, that the bout agreement had yet to be signed by the Irishman.
