Floyd Mayweather wants Conor McGregor down his boxing gym in Las Vegas. But the UFC star is having none of it.
The Irishman is slated to return to the famed Octagon following a hiatus away from MMA - which included a professional boxing bout against Mayweather.

He's set to face UFC lightweight kingpin Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October.
And ahead of the Las Vegas main-event, Mayweather has offered his services to him leading up to the championship bout.
"I'll talk with Dana, I may talk with Conor to get some tickets," the American told TMZ Sports via MMA Fighting.

"But leading up to the fight, when McGregor gets to Las Vegas, we'd like him to train at - I know the UFC has got a training facility - but we'd like for him to work out at the Mayweather Boxing Club."
McGregor has since replied to the offer in typical McGregor fashion.
"Fuck the Mayweathers, except Senior and Roger. There is no peace here kid. Step up or step down," he wrote on Twitter.
While the pair of combatants ultimately worked together to create a mammoth event last year, they won't be teaming up prior to McGregor's UFC return.

Meanwhile, last weekend marked the one-year anniversary of the mega-fight and both Mayweather and McGregor have taken to social media.
Not long till we see McGregor back in the cage.
