Conor McGregor was in peak trolling mode as he directed a cheeky dig at Cristiano Ronaldo, while also taking aim at familiar foe Floyd Mayweather Jr and rap star 50 Cent, all in one typically brash Instagram post.
The big-talking UFC star has landed a lucrative endorsement deal with fast food chain Burger King, and claimed he has now surpassed Real Madrid s Ronaldo on Forbes list of highest-paid athletes.
McGregor said he promised Ronaldo he would do so when the pair trained together in 2016.
Writing on Instagram, he said: Making deals and TAKING deals! Kings recognise Kings!
I am also really interested to see this years [sic] Forbes highest paid athletes list.
I have now surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo as I told him I would in 2016.
Mayweather, who defeated McGregor in a lucrative Las Vegas boxing bout last year and is rumoured to be considering facing the Irishman in the MMA octagon, was also typically on McGregor s hit list.
Floyd as a retired fighter that makes ZERO substantial revenue outside of them ropes is not on the list, and in the long game, is already dead.
Mixed Martial Arts is a glorious game, Floyd. You are going to love it hahaha.
