These days, any time Conor McGregor is in the news, Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s name ends up not being far behind.
On Saturday, Conor McGregor knocked out Eddie Alvarez to claim his second UFC championship. It was a historic feat that stirred up questions about what would be next for the two division champion; it also sparked a war of words with the former pound-for-pound boxing king.
When Mayweather was asked his opinion on McGregor, he dismissed the Irish superstar as merely "piggybacking" off the Mayweather name, comparing McGregor to an ant and himself to an elephant.
