Beneath him stood a crowd of countless people—one of whom wore a TMT shirt. And guess who it looked like? None other than Floyd Mayweather—at least, someone who closely resembled him.
Now, you might think it might not be Mayweather after all—why would McGregor bring up their rivalry years after the fight? But let us remind you that the abbreviation ‘TMT’ carries its own significance. Why? Because it stands for Floyd Mayweather’s team name: ‘The Money Team’. Why would he invoke his rivalry now? We may not have known it, but Conor McGregor’s Tidl brand has achieved something significant, putting McGregor back on the business frontline once again.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Conor McGregor shared a story that showcased TIDL’s Cryotherapy Pain Relief Spray. In the caption, the company claimed, “TIDL secures official government contract. “Now available on the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS).” “Mystic Mac’ just had one response to this achievement: “Excellent.”
Floyd Mayweather has yet to respond to this seemingly blatant attack by Conor McGregor. However, the undefeated boxer did call him out in a different context back when their rivalry was at its peak. So, what did he say? Let’s find out.
When Floyd Mayweather said Conor McGregor was a better fighter than Canelo Alvarez
On August 26, 2017, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor faced off in a battle for the ages. The fight was scheduled for 12 rounds—significantly longer than a typical MMA bout—with each round lasting three minutes, totaling a maximum fight time of 36 minutes. McGregor surprised many by landing a few clean shots on the then-undefeated 49-0 Mayweather. However, his cardio ultimately failed him, and a composed Mayweather capitalized on McGregor’s exhaustion, securing a TKO victory in the 10th round.
As the dust settled, Conor McGregor reportedly received $130 million, while Mayweather took home a reported $280 million. Well, this fight was a financial boon for both the combat sports heavyweights. So, was this Mayweather’s easiest fight? Back in 2018, in an Instagram post, Mayweather took shots at McGregor by calling him McQuitter, but he revealed that his easiest fight was not McGregor but Canelo Alvarez.
“Connor McQuitter was a way better fighter than Canelo’s cheating a— and I beat the brakes off him too! It takes me 36 mins or less to make $ 300 million plus. It literally takes me one night and one fight to make what you might make in five years and 11 fights!” wrote Floyd Mayweather on his Instagram back in 2018 after Canelo Alvarez called him out for a rematch.
Floyd Mayweather has moved on from his rivalry with Conor McGregor after their fight, with only a few comments here and there since then. For now, the question remains: will the undefeated boxer ever respond to McGregor again? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
