So much for the rivalry! Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor share private jet for flight from New York to London hours after almost coming to blows

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor arrived in London on the SAME private jet this afternoon – hours after they almost came to blows on stage in New York.

The pair jetted in to London for the final stop of the world tour to promote their super fight on August 26 in Las Vegas.

Tensions have simmered all week in Los Angeles, Toronto and New York with the fighters engaging in intense trash talk which threatened to spill over on Wednesday night.

McGregor attempted to defend himself from racist accusations after telling Mayweather, “Dance for me, boy,” by insisting he was “half black from the belly down” and that it was a “present for my beautiful, black female fans.”

Outrage immediately followed with Mayweather slamming the Notorious for his remarks.

“We can’t judge a man for what we hear from others, we must judge a man for how he treats us,” Mayweather said.

“He totally disrespected my daughter, the mother of my daughter, he disrespected black women and he called black people monkeys. I’m proud to be a black man and to be an American.

“He can’t do that. You cannot disrespect black women. You cannot disrespect black people. Period.”
