@Vex Luthor haters are gonna hate. They will say ANYTHING to diminish a person's accomplishments who they don't like. Another thing they ignore, Floyd at welterweight was facing fighters who would come into the ring 10-15 pounds heavier than him. Most of his opponents were bigger and stronger, but he was faster and better To add to your point, look at what he did to Ricky Hatton. I think he could have KO 'D Miguel Cotto in the last round, but he tasted Miguel's and even made him bleed, so he played it safe.
@@kashimwoodruff7630 100% on the “Money” no pun intended...yeah he really demolished Hatton and to me it seemed like he was having fun with Cotto.....seriously, like defensively ruining Cotto.
You guys don't understand this is what he wants that's how he's so rich people pay to see him lose in his own quote "people pay to see me lose and in the end of the day they all pay" he is rich because he wants people to hate him until his career is officially over (which he said prolly 3 times now) and he might be back for another 9 figure fight
Those words said it all "if i can put myself in a position to make 9 figures.. why not". Folks.. the whole thing is orchestrated.. from beginning to end. The only loser will be the idiot that pays for this circuit act. Mayweather and mcgregor are putting on a show that would make barnum and bailey jealous.
polivo, this stopped being a show when Mayweather pushed for the races to be involved. You better believe McGregor didn't get into this to be viewed as a racist. You think he really doesn't want to kick mayweather's ass? You think a champion in his physical prime wants to go down to a retired champ? If you think McGregor is doing this for money, you might have been right at first, maybe he did want to give the people a an exhibition show, but it escalated and got personal real fast. He wants to crush Mayweather, and Mayweather is going to have to ware him down, get him exhausted and knock him down because Conor will just keep coming.
I got goosebumps at the end...Woah!....and he did exactly that too. Wow!...I'm gonna miss Floyd, he's confidence and intelligence is on a whoooole other level.
everybody statement was good but the best one stands out to me has already been said..AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ARE ABOUT TO COUNT THIS 65 MILLIONS DOLLARS FOR LESS THEN 1HRS OF WORK ..THERE IS NOBODY ON THIS PLANET MAKE 65 MILLION DOLLARS IN 30MIN..LOLOL YOU ARE THE GOAT AND THE SMARTED MAN ON THIS PLANET I LOVE YOU BROTHER..MY NAME E-LU 🤣
I'm not sure what u meant but its funny cuz I'm watching on stereo n this comment made me realize that Floyd=right sound=left and interviewer=left sound=right
LMAO, he don't fuck with black people. When all the blacks were boycotting Gucci, he told TMZ he don't fuck with anyone but himself and only cares about what he wants to, when he wants to.
It took him forever to say it. He kept saying for my American fans, for my people (without clarifying) and he said for my Mexicans. He should have said for my black people. Mayweather will always put self and money before anyone else.
Money May did a great job in marketing this fight. They way he compliments Connor made people actually believe he had a shot at him so even more people wanted to watch. This man is brilliant
Mayweather is great at managing his psychology. Illiterate or not, he is still arguably the strongest mental athlete (maybe Roger Federer ranks up there) of all times. Having taken down 49 men, many the best the world has to offer outside of himself, and non have come out victorious against Floyd. I also really like Conor. I really respect both athletes as much as they may not like each other.
Only ppl that have vouched for Mcgregor so far: 1. Dana white aka "cm punk has a chance" 2. Skip Bayless "No, I don't know what a pull counter is" 3. Casual Mma fans who didn't know who Floyd was before 2015 4. Mma analysts 5. Joe Rogan "Ronda Rousey would beat up Floyd in a real fight" 6. Brendan Schaub "Floyd has never seen Conor's style before" (Yes dummy, cuz Conor has fought at the highest level vs boxers that have Floyd's style right?) Yes...so please lets hear your expert analysis as to why Conor has a "puncher's chance"...
Michael Harris gtfoh you dont even believe that stupid shit you just said like seriously bro white ppl and mexicans were expressing their hate and racism to floyd bc of the fact that he is a successful wealthy blk man truth be told most whites ppl or ppl in general are sexist and hit females mfs really dont care about the fact he hit a woman mainstream media just use it as a tool to bring the man down
Lol that's what floyd wants tho that's how he makes his money people hate him like he said "people pay to see me lose but in the end of the day they all pay"
Before this interview I thought he was dumb with all the 'he can't read' controversy .... But after watching, wow. He's very intelligent. He doesn't use a high vocabulary, but you can sense his mental power. You don't get this far without having intelligence. Despite his power & prowess, you can tell dude is on another level. Like he said 'I know when to post things to social media, I know what to say, I know the moves to make .... And I happen to know cool people in high places". Salute this man. None of us would even last a week through his training regimen let alone his impeccable fight record. *drops mic*

Mayweather fights may generally look boring but admit it or not he is very good in his defense and his precision. Pro boxers like Sugar Shane, Miguel Cotto, Andre Berto, and even oscar dela hoya himself (who says mayweather is a disgrace in boxing) etc. etc. says he is a very elusive and a very effective counter puncher. To be honest, I love the style of Pacquiao more (always the aggresive type) but this damn man is on a genius level in the ring. Whenever this man fights a beast in the ring, he makes them look just an ordinary fighter (like canelo, marquez, oscar, pacquiao and list goes on)..
Bale Gadaffi nahh man , I’m Hispanic bro and I admire Floyd and so does my family.. maybe some dislike him but I don’t think it’s because of his color...
Post comment: many viewers were surprise how agressieve Floyd was during McGregor fight. Usually he is a defense fighter, but this interview weeks before the fight 20:21 he already reveal his gameplan.
I like floyd's American speech sentiment. And I've always thought that African american title only makes sense if white Americans were weirdly called European Americans, like he said. And I was born in England. Emigrated to slc ut at age three. I love England like floyd loves his African roots. Why not? But we both are just american.
This is true but if you speak to people they will claim Italian american or sweedish american etc. Being white is a mentality. I was listening to some old Jews speaking about it in a interview. They were talking about the first time they were called or claimed white was in america. They said they were asked if they were white or Jewish when getting on a bus. They looked in the back of the bus and the front and understood that if they said Jewish they be lumped in with "blacks". So they adopted being labeled as white to avoid that and get better treatment. I thought that was deep when I heard it. I've also heard blacks from other places tell me they were never referred to as black until they came to america...
@@1stNumberOne yeah I don't know the credibility of that . I'm from the UK and Afro Carribean people are called black same as in other European countries like France, Germany, Spain.
I agree with him because he is undefeated for many reasons he promotes his own fights, he fights only in his own backyard Las Vegas and too much hugging worth of deduction
@@CCbat33 ok m not sure. Im sure Floyd can read on a basic level. Even if you can't you have Audio books and with the money Floyd has im sure he can work around not being able to read if that's true. If I was that rich not being able to read wouldn't bother me and if it did I'd learn
This was a really great interview! Stephen A. is a very talented, likable, and exceptional individual. In short order, you realize this was going to be an exceptional interview-and it was! As for Mayweather-his mind is also excellent, and no one should attempt to say otherwise! Not only is Mayweather a great boxer, he’s a brilliant speaker! Keep up the great work, Money!
Man when floyd says dont u ever disrespect another american it fired me up and officially won me over. Floyd really has done an amazing job conducting himself over the years, and I do believe he gives back without seeking clout so mad respect... who wouldnt wanna be floyd for a day
Exactly. SAS doesn't know boxing like people think he does. If it's not basketball, don't quote him. He has made public mistakes about boxing, football, and other sports to his embarrassment.
I use to think Floyd ran etc. after watching 12 of his fights over again I now see why he’s the absolute best there’s ever been. Love or hate him he’s the hardest working and absolutely the best boxer ever.
I'm a white American, and I was hoping Floyd would win.I'm a true Christian, so I live a life of love towards everyone, because I know God made us all equal (The Bible says "God looks at the heart")... Remember, money and materials don't mean anything in the end. We can't take anything with us when we die. Jesus is the only one who can totally satisfy us and purify us (with His Holy Spirit) and make us complete, and acceptable to God. God is Love. ❤️
Nick L. Take your bullshit childish Jesus story to uninformed mindless drones ... people here don’t care about which desert dwelling story you subscribe to... this is a boxing interview .. look up money grabbing pastors with their guidable sheep for your satisfaction... all hail lord Satan ...

TheIGGod LMAOOOOO
Nick Curry Zero lmao the beat dropped in my head
I just came back to watch this interview and see Floyd's Business & Fighting Genius at work!
@9:55 Stephen A Smith said "Joe Horn! from Australia" I think he means Jeff Horn😂😂👊
Nah you just misunderstood his accent
OoWee BJizzle Floyd point exactly
lmao im so dead at how he yelled out " JOE HORN FROM OSTRELLIAAA"
To Floyd’s point nobody even knows his namr
JOE HORN WAS MY MAN FROM THE NO SAINTS THAT DID THE CELLPHONE TD CELEBRATION..😃
Stephen A killed this interview and Floyd put it in a bodybag! Real recognize real.
He's a surprisingly compelling and passionate fellow, this Mayweather.
Mayweather fights may generally look boring but admit it or not he is very good in his defense and his precision. Pro boxers like Sugar Shane, Miguel Cotto, Andre Berto, and even oscar dela hoya himself (who says mayweather is a disgrace in boxing) etc. etc. says he is a very elusive and a very effective counter puncher. To be honest, I love the style of Pacquiao more (always the aggresive type) but this damn man is on a genius level in the ring. Whenever this man fights a beast in the ring, he makes them look just an ordinary fighter (like canelo, marquez, oscar, pacquiao and list goes on)..
Exactly hit and do not get hit casuals wanna see a bar fight. We want to see the art form
Kenneth Versoza to be fair Canelo was very young he learned a lot from that mayweather fight but still 50-0 don’t lie
Keep your eyes on Canelo now because he learned a lot after that Mayweather fight.
Don’t know what I did Last Night be just sighed his death certificate going up that heigh in weight class
Let them fight in other state or country well who gonna wins.IMHO Floyd is not great because of these reason😂
Why people hate on floyd so much the boy is nice
That's because he's a black.
Bale Gadaffi nahh man , I’m Hispanic bro and I admire Floyd and so does my family.. maybe some dislike him but I don’t think it’s because of his color...
@Down on the Upside WhY u saying I'm an idiot
@Down on the Upside There is no proof of that. We don't know the truth, and we probably never will.
These two are good friends always mad respect for each other
"I don't even know his name right now!"
LOLOL
Post comment: many viewers were surprise how agressieve Floyd was during McGregor fight. Usually he is a defense fighter, but this interview weeks before the fight 20:21 he already reveal his gameplan.
I like floyd's American speech sentiment. And I've always thought that African american title only makes sense if white Americans were weirdly called European Americans, like he said.
And I was born in England. Emigrated to slc ut at age three. I love England like floyd loves his African roots. Why not?
But we both are just american.
This is true but if you speak to people they will claim Italian american or sweedish american etc. Being white is a mentality. I was listening to some old Jews speaking about it in a interview. They were talking about the first time they were called or claimed white was in america. They said they were asked if they were white or Jewish when getting on a bus. They looked in the back of the bus and the front and understood that if they said Jewish they be lumped in with "blacks". So they adopted being labeled as white to avoid that and get better treatment. I thought that was deep when I heard it. I've also heard blacks from other places tell me they were never referred to as black until they came to america...
@@1stNumberOne that's interesting, mate. Thanks for the insight.
💯💯💯
@@1stNumberOne yeah I don't know the credibility of that . I'm from the UK and Afro Carribean people are called black same as in other European countries like France, Germany, Spain.
Man i give you credit for what you said,btw im african.😢
I'm not a big Floyd fan but I respect his work ethic, drive and
love of his family and passion for helping others.
Damn, I can't believe this man is 40. I hope I'll look that good at 40 but I probably won't lol
Daniel Lovegreen drink lots of water and work out then U will
THE RESPECT WARMS MY COLD LIPS
Daniel Lovegreen pause
Reality Check Yourself pause
It has to do with the melanin in your skin.
White people age like grated cheese, by the time they reach 35 they start looking by Bob Arum's hairy ass.
22:44 “u put em in front of me and I beat em”
I agree with him because he is undefeated for many reasons he promotes his own fights, he fights only in his own backyard Las Vegas and too much hugging worth of deduction
Idk I feel There's a Tupac vibe with mayweather when it comes to misconceptions.
wisdom offor So Mayweather is gonna fake his death.
lmaooooo
wisdom offor i thought I was the only one who notices
Chris Nance naw you’re not the only one man
I fucks wit him
Mayweather: "idc if it's on my boxing record just give me that check"
I respect him even more for this interview. Very humble SMART and not only is he selling the fight, he's giving respect to McGregor!
‘The guy pac just fought we don’t even know who he is’
‘Joe horn!...from Australia!’
Jeff horn 🤣🤣🤣🤣point proven
😭
Floyd keeps it real in his interviews, he is a clever man and i respect this brotha!
He knew that people wouldn't buy a one sided fight, so he under played his abilities, saying he wasn't what he use to be. Genius....
"have you actually thought you might lose??"
*sips more of his water*
Best chairs ever.
A lot of people saying that he can't read and write, but you can still see that he is a genius.
Don't need to read and write when you sign 100million dollor checks
realnesx It must still be shitty not to be able to read... I mean reading is a fundamental part of our lives
@@CCbat33 ok m not sure. Im sure Floyd can read on a basic level. Even if you can't you have Audio books and with the money Floyd has im sure he can work around not being able to read if that's true.
If I was that rich not being able to read wouldn't bother me and if it did I'd learn
If he is a genius, he would be working at nasa right now
@@josevillalobos663 a lot of geniuses don't work at NASA so what's your point? If I was a wealthy as Floyd and a genius I wouldn't work at NASA
Fascinating multifaceted guy , great interview , he is probably one of greatest boxer‘s ever, at the end of day a great personality
This was a really great interview! Stephen A. is a very talented, likable, and exceptional individual. In short order, you realize this was going to be an exceptional interview-and it was! As for Mayweather-his mind is also excellent, and no one should attempt to say otherwise! Not only is Mayweather a great boxer, he’s a brilliant speaker! Keep up the great work, Money!
Say what you want about Floyd, the guy is a genius.. Very mature answers from Floyd.
Man when floyd says dont u ever disrespect another american it fired me up and officially won me over. Floyd really has done an amazing job conducting himself over the years, and I do believe he gives back without seeking clout so mad respect... who wouldnt wanna be floyd for a day
That awkward silence after he stated the guy name that fought manny had me so weak lmaooooooooo
9:55 lol Joe Horn, Floyd's point exactly. His name is Jeff Horn.
Goank MAHDI Joe Horn made the phone call touchdown
Exactly. SAS doesn't know boxing like people think he does. If it's not basketball, don't quote him. He has made public mistakes about boxing, football, and other sports to his embarrassment.
LMAO!!!
@@jaiminor don’t quote him on basketball either he makes mistakes like that all the time lol
Blood is thicker than water.
Orcdaddy Ignorance is dumber than a open mind.
I just love how Floyd is not saying how he will fight and saving it all for the ring. Smart man 👏🏻 keeping it real
Great interview. Great man. Exposes the double standards. Gives back to the people. We love you Floyd!
Yes ❤
I use to think Floyd ran etc. after watching 12 of his fights over again I now see why he’s the absolute best there’s ever been. Love or hate him he’s the hardest working and absolutely the best boxer ever.
A Sensei
Then you woke up , gtfoh 😂 best defensive fighter I'll give you that, but that's about it .
@@DRAGOINTHEHOUSEcant lose if you dont get hit
50-0 G.L.O.A.T greatest legend of all time 🔥🔥🔥
I love how Floyd talked up Conor as if had a good chance to beat him. Very clever Floyd you suckered them.
Great interview! Floyd u mentioned Spanish, Irish, American and..... " My people???" Say black/african!
Kamal Patterson the statement was asinine we know who we is lmap
America implies black and white both that live there. He cant claim africa when he not from there
Agreed say Black Damn it
Jason Kelley he said American that equates to the world as black and white
You ain’t here him say he fighting for all the blacks around the world???
I'm a white American, and I was hoping Floyd would win.I'm a true Christian, so I live a life of love towards everyone, because I know God made us all equal (The Bible says "God looks at the heart")... Remember, money and materials don't mean anything in the end. We can't take anything with us when we die. Jesus is the only one who can totally satisfy us and purify us (with His Holy Spirit) and make us complete, and acceptable to God. God is Love. ❤️
Nick L. Amen
Nick L. amen brother
Amen
Nick L. Take your bullshit childish Jesus story to uninformed mindless drones ... people here don’t care about which desert dwelling story you subscribe to... this is a boxing interview .. look up money grabbing pastors with their guidable sheep for your satisfaction... all hail lord Satan ...
U sound like a Muslim?
Host is absolutely phenomenal!👏👏👏
he really is extremely smart with what he says, he said his body aint the same and came out in the fight still looking like his younger self😂🤦🏽♂️that man is a genius whether we like it or not.
Instant classic interview!!
