Boxing: Snoop Dogg celebrates Floyd Mayweather win over Conor McGregor in typical style

There were no prizes for guessing where Snoop Dogg's loyalties lay after the megafight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor.

The rapper is a long-time friend of Mayweather and celebrated his fellow American's victory over McGregor in an appropriately coarse fashion.

He was recently hired by the UFC as a co-commentator on UFC boss Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series - and is technically McGregor's colleague.

Snoop posted an expletive-laden video to his Instagram account after Mayweather's win in Las Vegas on Sunday, hailing the victor's undefeated 50-0 career record and dishing out a fair bit of abuse to his amateur opponent.

"Fifty-and-O, n*****," Snoops begins in the video. "The m*****-f****** champ, n*****. Fifty-and-O.

"F*** that m*****-f****** punk-a** McGregor. You b****. F*** him. M*****-f****** champ, n*****. Yeah, n*****.

"That's what you get for coming to a m*****-f****** gang fight with a butter knife, you b**** a** m*****-f*****. F*** you, n*****.

"Money Team champ, n*****. Where the party at, Floyd?"

After a brief interlude to welcome a "honey" walking by, Snoop appeared to have had a change of heart and offered the Irishman some praise.

"McGregor's a bad m*****-f*****, though. I'll give him this - he got heart. He got heart."

McGregor's heart was enough for him to take Mayweather to the 10th round of the so-called 'fight of the century', before the referee stopped the fight and the veteran boxer was awarded a TKO victory over the mixed-martial arts champion.

Not everyone took kindly to Snoop's post, with a number of followers - including UFC fighter Alan Jouban - calling for him to be fired by White.
