Conor McGregor sends a message to Floyd Mayweather after training camp starts
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Conor McGregor is making it clear that he's started training camp for his proposed showdown with Floyd Mayweather later this year.
The reigning UFC lightweight champion posted a photo of himself in the gym a few days ago with the tagline "day one" attached to the picture.
McGregor's rigorous training scheduled has continued since that time and it prompted the Irishman to send another message to Mayweather about inking the deal that will put the two of them together in a ring later this year.

Mayweather's representatives including Al Haymon are expected to meet with UFC president Dana White in the coming days to begin negotiations on the lucrative fight that could become one of the biggest events in combat sports history.
Just recently, White came to an agreement with McGregor on their part of the deal, which likely included the split of revenue that the fighter would receive in as a UFC fighter competing in another sport.

"They say I've got no chance. But they say that every fight," McGregor wrote.
Of course, McGregor has certainly proven a few people wrong during his tenure with the UFC including his 13-second knockout over former featherweight champion Jose Aldo as well as his win over Nate Diaz just months after he was choked out by the former "Ultimate Fighter" winner.

Still, McGregor isnt lacking confidence as he digs into his first training camp since winning the UFC lightweight title last November in New York.
