FLOYD MAYWEATHER is seriously stirring up a frenzy over his proposed fight with UFC star Conor McGregor.

If quotes from famous American boxing trainer Freddie Roach — saying he had been approached to coach the Irishman - were not enough to get the bout over the line and announced, Money seems to have done the job on Instagram.

The 49-time unbeaten boxer Mayweather has been in talks with McGregor's representatives for most of the month over getting the pair in a boxing ring together.

And if Mayweather's latest social media post is to be believed, a date is sure to be announced soon.

But hang on a second, doesn't that graphic look a little amateurish?

It looks more like something you would see advertising your local amateur boxing match than one of the most lucrative fights in history.

If McGregor does make the crossover from MMA to boxing, even for this one bout, he wants Mayweather to be straight about the cash situation.

The Ireland star told ESPN: "I hear that boy talking. It was him that leaked the rumour that he'd get $100million, I'd get $7m. That'd be a pay cut for me.

"I don't take pay cuts. I thought boxing was where the money was at. Seven million is absolutely laughable.

"He's talking $100m, I'm also talking $100m. I'm 27 years of age and I'm only just about half-way through a $100m contract.

"At 27, Floyd Mayweather was on Oscar De La Hoya's undercard, so compare that."

Famous trainer Roach — who has been recently coaching Amir Khan — admitted a flying visit from 39-year-old Mayweather put him on his toes over the fight actually happening.

Roach said: “Mayweather did come by my gym last week and he asked me to take that job if it’s offered to me, because he told me the fight is going to happen and we’re going to make a lot of money."

But Roach also warned that it could take McGregor three YEARS to get ready to fight him, admitting: "I don’t think it’s really fair."

Tell that to Mayweather, it seems fair is fair when Money talks.
