Long time Conor pal Justin Bieber shared a photo on Instagram of Conor holding the Tricolor with the caption, “Love this guy win or lose.”  More than two million of his 160 million followers agreed.

Boxing king Floyd Mayweather, who beat Conor in a 2018 match, showed no mercy to his old rival, calling him “Con Artist McLoser.”

"Just know, that bum will never be me or be on my level. I’m just built different, my mindset is on another planet, my skills are second to none, I’m a natural-born winner and yes I talk a lot of trash, but every time I back it up!” Floyd added. 

Conor himself might get a laugh out of the memes of him and Senator Bernie Sanders, who went viral after a photo of him with his cute mittens at the Biden inauguration made the rounds.
