But the American has continued to box in exhibition bouts since, most recently against the grandson of notorious mob boss John Gotti.

Although it ended in chaos after Gotti was disqualified and then tried to attack Mayweather in the ring, resulting in a mass brawl.

McGregor – who has not boxed since the loss six years ago – was left more entertained by the post-fight scrap.

He told TMZ Sports: “I wasn’t that impressed to be honest with you. I wasn’t impressed. Would have a go off him, if he wants.

“I dunno what he’s at. There’s no meaning behind it, he’s just here and there, there’s no meaning behind the bouts.

“There was nothing to it. I enjoyed the brawl afterwards more than the actual bout.”

Mayweather, 46, was largely dominating before the fight was abandoned in round six by referee Kenny Bayless.

But Gotti, 30, was having none of it and went after the boxing legend, causing mayhem in the ring.
