Floyd Mayweather has taken a break from calling out UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov to focus on Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez. And he wants his 21.8 million instagram followers to help in roasting De La Hoya, specifically.
Mayweather trolled the former boxer by posting a photo of the "Golden Girl" wearing fishnets and high heels along with a caption that reads, "#TBT 11yrs ago, I fought her and her name is Oscar “Golden Girl” Dela Hoya. Please leave the most disrespectful caption you can think of."

Mayweather also called out Alvarez, describing the 28-year old boxer as a cheater and the easiest fight of his life. Alvarez, who recently inked a record $365 million deal, has challenged Floyd to come out of retirement for a rematch, but he's not the only fighter who is looking for a big money bout.
Mayweather's company CEO, Leonard Ellerbe, recently ran into Khabib Nurmagomedov in Russia during the World Boxing Super Series and shared a video of the 27-0 UFC star asking Mayweather for a fight.
"Let's go Floyd," said Khabib with a smile. "We have to fight now: 50-0 versus 27-0. We are two guys who never lose.
"[But] in the jungle there is only one king. Of course, I am the king because he cannot drop McGregor but I drop him easily. Let's go."
TMZ Sports has since caught up with Mayweather regarding Khabib's comments, and he told them directly, "We're fighting." He added, "I'm my own boss. I can't say what's going on on Khabib's end, but on my end we can make it happen."
