Conor McGregor couldn’t resist taking a dig at the boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.
The Irishman had recently claimed that he could face Pacquiao in the not too distant future.
But just days later both fighters announced a fight for this year with ‘The Notorious’ claiming he will return to the Octagon against Michael Chandler and Pacquiao taking on his old rival Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout.

The difference in hype around both fights was huge with McGregor’s breaking the Internet and Pacquiao vs Mayweather 2 in an exhibition fight not exactly setting the public’s imagination on fire.

And of course McGregor noticed this and posted on his Instagram story:
“A lesson in how not to make an announcement.”
