Conor McGregor used his go-to platform Twitter to shed light on the topic that he intended to highlight this time. While he is known for posting and deleting his microblogs, this time the post has remained on the medium. Here's what he posted.

"Has any competing fighters bet their purse against each other and then followed thru? We should stop doing this. Fighting is tough. It can go anyway. Luck plays a hell of a part. Don’t be saying you are betting your fight purse against each other. Because it never happens. And it’s stupid. Train hard. Fight hard. Earn your dough. And then enjoy it. God bless"
