CONOR McGREGOR has advised pals to back him for “easy money” against Floyd Mayweather — and will bet £900,000 himself.

SunSport can reveal Mystic Mac, 29, is even sure when the fight will end.
A source close to the two-weight UFC champ told SunSport: “Conor is as confident as ever ahead of this fight and he’s prepared to put his money where his mouth is.
“The message to his friends and family has been simple from Conor, he’s telling them to get rich off his back.
“He has told a lot of people to back him if they want to earn some easy money.
“They will have been reassured by the fact that he says he’s putting one million euros (£900k) on himself to win, that’s how confident he is.
“We know how accurate Conor’s predictions have been in the past and that’s why people close to him will find his tip hard to ignore.”
