CONOR MCGREGOR slammed Jake Paul with a tasteless Jimmy Savile jibe after they got into a Twitter row last night.
The 33-year-old The Notorious tuned in to see his compatriot Katie Taylor beat Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden.
Paul was Serrano's promoter and appeared on the coverage.
McGregor was not surprised that the Problem Child played a part in the success of the event.
On Twitter, the Irishman wrote: "Who the f*** was this jackass wearing pink Jimmy saville glasses?"
Paul, 25, replied in less than half an hour: "I'm who has done more for fighters that you have ever."

"The fighter who has won five fights in the last 2 years, while you have lost 5, is the winner."
"The one who doesn't own Dana White.
"The one who made that fight you just saw happen.
"The 1 who got Katie Taylor your hero paid.

McGregor replied to Paul's points but did not respond with any. He instead showed a photo of Savile, a notorious paedophile.
McGregor did however congratulate both fighters for the success of the night.
He wrote, "Katie Taylor the Greatest!" ![]()

Absolutely incredible boxing!
"Take a bow, ladies! It was quite the contest! @KatieTaylor @Serranosisters @TheGarden"
Taylor, 35, won the fight by a split decision. He took the scorecards of 97-93 (96-93), 94-96 and 94-96.
The duo will be running it back with Taylor saying, after Taylor's win, "Let’s do it again Amanda." Amanda Serrano is a true fighter.
