Conor McGregor is fed up with boxers making bets and not following through with them.
On Monday, Garcia and Davis agreed to a winner-take-all bet during an Instagram live stream ahead of their fight on Saturday night on Showtime PPV.

While the two fighters insist that the bet is still on, Garcia’s father told Fighthub’s Marcos Villegas that there will be no bet.
‼️“SORRY TO DISAPPOINT ANYONE BUT THE BET WONT HAPPEN!”
Is it really worth it to bet your entire purse for a single fight?#boxing #davisgarcia #garciadavis pic.twitter.com/0Rny8FF2Lj

McGregor took to social media on Wednesday to slam boxers like Davis and Garcia, who make winner-take-all bets before the fight but end up backing out.

McGregor is also not a big fan of fighters betting on themselves before fights either and wouldn’t do it himself.
I make substantially more than everyone on the roster combined so it’s not feasible. I could bet a portion however. But it’s ridiculous, and no. This game, and the longer you are in it, gets tougher and tougher. I’m keeping my hard earned money for my loved ones ❤️ https://t.co/qayxxPFlRs
