- Rio Ferdinand sat down with Floyd Mayweather back in 2017 before the fight with Conor McGregor had even been agreed.
The two discussed Money's favourite boxing prospects, the suicide of a close friend just before a fight, Conor McGregor and who he thinks could be the toughest opponent he's faced.

Glad to hear Mayweather is totally against murder, hats off to the man
😂😂
He was the reason his friend killed himself and his girlfriend. Floyd was messing with her that's why he was face timing Floyd while he done it
Ewan Edwards good one!!
Thats a common sense
😂😂😂😂
Actually a fantastic interview by rio tbf
Tom Mangan 👍
Tom Mangan what do u expect from an ex Man Utd player 👌
Floyd “at this particular time” Mayweather.
John Frankenheimer 😂 just as I was reading this he said it
Damn Beaches same lol
Floyd ‘as I said before ‘ Mayweather
Floyd "in the sport of boxing" Mayweather
DATA WOLF floyd ‘when its all said and done’ mayweather
Rio, with the sportsman hints.. wanting to talk about his football career. Floyd not even asking him or saying he’s heard of him lol
Floyd just thinks it's another journo
Rio not on same level to what Mayweather represents as a boxer to what RIP did on the field.
The ref had rios back kicking and fouling Torres and Ljungberg etc when he really conceded 50 penalties.
Not on john terries level and im no fan of terry.
@@amajeet stay of the drugs son...
no disrespect but he probably doesnt know who he is lol
@@amirdurant7592 ofcourse he doesn't k know who he is. What makes it cringeworthy is that rio is playing it out as if Mayweather knows him well.
He probably just about heard of Pele, Maradona or even beckham.
Props to Ferdinand. Great interviewing
I didn’t realize this was before the mcgregor fight so I was confused when asked about 50-0 and the Conor fight because I thought they were talking about Mayweather doing mma
Just realised how close their legs were must felt uncomfortable
Clever comment
I noticed that to!!
This made me laugh for some reason
Lol u must be very bored and not knowing what to.do to notice that kinda stuff
Hahah
Is Floyd wearing MJ’s Thriller jacket
Hahah
PARK ?
PARK straight off the short bus i see
PARK false, it’s dajjal, the false messiah that is coming, Jesus (Isa) will come later on.
Bal Boughan - at that particular time, yeah.
One of his very best interviews honestly. He was in a very good mood. Bless up, legend.
Floyd “Particular time , when its all set and done” Mayweather
*said
Mayweather Jr is undoubtedly different from the other fighters he’s fought almost every big name and beat them all, not many boxers can retire with 50wins and not a single loss shows he’s finesse in the ring!
Yeah but he never fought anybody of any kind of note
Julio Cesar Chavez it's more than 50 Win, he only loses in his 91 fight, before losses he got 90 fight
@@boxingexpert9919 he fought All the fighter's that the people that hated him wanted to see him fight
TheBigcat68 Chavez didn’t retire undefeated and he got battered by De La Hoya
@Naeem Islam At one point yes he was but didn’t retire undefeated!
Love or hate him, he accomplished his goals,sorted his family members for life,he got my love..
I do both , what is done in the ring deserve to be loved , but his persona outside has not to be loved . Arrogance can not mask insecurities that are so obvious to see , he never been defeated and in the long run he would had been better for his peace of mind to distant himself to the "Money Goat" identity .
@@snowhuskybaalkaii8621 his persona outside of the ring is not relevant
He has earned the right to be this Arrogant lol
or waived his earned right to be humble.
He's not arrogant he's staright forward about it, he's happy the happiness isn't arrogance because he wont disrespect any opponent
Yeah he got his tooth from maidana fight and still won decision . He need to be arrogant to sound like a winner.
It should be 47-3 not 50-0.
Fake record.
47 - 3 is still really good imo hahah..
Floyd wanted to say no so bad when Ferdinand asked if he thinks Gervontas gonna be the next Floyd lmao
To be honest there will never be another fighter like Floyd he’s a one in a million.
This is like 3 years old but I still watched the whole thing
Virus TV
I believe this was Rio's first interview and it against the best defensive boxer in our generation..he did really well even though at times it felt he was in awe of floyd which made part of interview a little awkward but still an awesome interview.
These 2 have combined for 51-0 , world champion across 5 weight divisions, 2 legends of the sweet science.
Which I was totally against my friend killin his wife, yes I'd like to think so
Could u imagine how horrific that would b tho.to witness something like that
@PARK ok u can stop repeating yourself now
John Doe What? So he did that to piss off floyd?
@@kellyritchie4256 i know, and how was it not mentioned before
Was thinking exact same thing lmao
Floyd “He’s a hell of a fighter” Mayweather
I am going to count how many times Floyd will talk about money, each time i drink a beer. I'm starting the video now, wish me luck😂
Numerius Negidius alcohol poisoning yet?r u in an ambulance?🤣
😀😀
I had a terrible night, I just came out from the hospital now, due alcohol poisoning
😂😂 money May
Great interview. Love seeing a humble Floyd. But it's also the interviewers job as to which side of the person he wants to bring out and Rio did a good job letting Floyd describe himself as opposed to butting in like a lot of our American journalists do. I think a Graham (forgot his last name) interview with Floyd would be great as well..
Unbelievable boxer 💯 we are blessed he was/is in our era 👏
@Wat ching u delahoya and Naseem called him the best of all time. Hater.
Thanks for posting. Is this the first time this interview got released?
Rio: “As a sportsman...” 😂😂😂
2:27 Rio having doing a Froch.
Just pulled up short of mentioning his Wembley days 😂
😂😂👌🏼
In a sit down interview I love how Floyd is
Floyd is like a broken record at this stage. Every single interview exactly the same
Its sad ain't it
Stop watching
Daven Hilliard I stopped a few days ago now
Just saying it as it is
Hes broken every record
Every time Floyd talks throughout his entire career, it sounds like he is tuned in to the same station, but on repeat
Rio ‘has a sportsman’ Ferdinand
"I'd give anything to have your fans" Floyd Mayweather to Ricky Hatton.
😂😂😂 Never read the comment section and then watch the interview.
I made the mistake of reading the comments then watching the interview. Now, everytime I hear Floyd say "At this particular time" I can't stop cracking up 😂😂😂
Mayweather SHOULDER ROLL BLOCK DEFENCE IS LIKE A SHIELD HARD TO BREAK DEFENSIVE GENIUS
Duran would've knocked his ribs off
Love his confidence! It inspires me
One of the most awkward handshakes ever recorded
🤣🤣🤣
No bond
Out of all the times floyd said “ I take my hat off to him” he actually did this time lol...
Rio. Discovered playing on a tarmac pitch on The Frien Road Estate ❤️
Solid interview
When Mayweather tried to sound profound he reminds me so much of David Brent. GOAT tho.
Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
sugar ray is the true GOAT.
@@rudy8409 people only say that now because they can't find anyone to compare floyd to. Sugar ray R might or might not've been better but there's not enough footage of him in his prime to judge it. According to the evidence that's available, floyd is the best. Anyone confidently declaring that Robinson is better is just trying to bend over backwards to not say that floyd is the goat.
I’m the G.O.A.T
Nice job, Rio. Great interview!
Tank Davis has a flawed character, he reminds me of Mike Tyson, a angry young man, he won’t eclipse Mayweather.
Gervonta is a punk, there is no comparison to Tyson whatsoever for me. Tyson lost his mentor and still overcame unbelievable odds .. Gervonta has a whole team behind him, and still can’t maintain his behavior, he wouldn’t be anybody w/o Floyd. He has a bright future if he can get his act together , but he will never surpass Floyd, Floyd came up at the perfect time, when 130-154 divisions were stacked with legends, and he beat them all .
I Rod He just doesn’t have the work ethic and the personality
💀😂😂😂😂
I thought he'd mention Shakur Stevenson , he has way more talent and I.Q then Davis.
IceCubE4425 this is old so very early in shakur’s career
Sharpest I've ever seen Floyd in a sit down. Articulated himself well and wasn't crazy arrogant. Was pretty humble here.
he’s always been like this though
Why do anyone cares about another man being humble or not?
@@suleymanmohamed1018 especially if he's not insulting someone else
@Oor Haye Cade the same people will be okay if their favorite person bully someone as long as he's funny
But someone who praises himself so much is considered a bad person
so whos paying $1500 for a webcam session..of him talking the same sh*t
Floyd is the man anytime....best Champ ever
All Floyd’s interviews are the same
That means they ask the same questions it's an interview weirdo
It’s truly fascinating to watch a FM interview. Also infuriating - the number of tangents he goes off on is incredible. I’m not sure how many questions he truly answered. He likes to stress that his faculties are intact but I’m not too sure.
He clearly, clearly, has slight brain damage. Just look at his earlier interviews and compare him to his current ones.
Thing is that he trained himself (or was trained) to be able to monetize everything he does and that's why he seems stuck on repeat - it's a combination of his slight brain damage and his mental monetary conditioning.
Great interview Rio 👌
Great video 👌
Rio was scared to fight after he sparred
17:16 I can answer that for Floyd, since he had extreme difficulty doing so. A tough gentleman by the name of Castillo.
Loma v Tank needs to happen.
Lomachenko would run circles
Pretty boy,turn to money Mayweather ,all work is easy work
Boxing was Mayweathers destiny and he put the time and effort to make that destiny work to the highest pinnacle.
Mayweather God bless for saying rip to the fighters that are no longer with us who he boxed. Pure class and class boxer
Two legends. 🔥🔥 Big up Rio and Floyd
He is absolutely great no question about it. He’s earned it.
Both of them are legend!!
Why upload this after the McGregor fight BT ??
The fact that he can not give other boxers props or conveniently forgets names really takes away his shine when really most people regard him as one of the best ever!
He gave props to Manny before in other interview
16:43 What name does he say after Michael Dokes please anyone?
Aaron prior I think
Mark Owusu 👌
1:01 Jimmy Wilde made it 101-0 with beating the best in his era
When Rio met Floyd Mayweather... and went mute for 20 minutes
Rio let a golden moment go for not doing his research… floyd was ready to talk about earl hayes but rio interrupted him with boxing
I love Floyd but it annoys me how he doesn’t admit who gave him his toughest fight. I personally think it was the first fight with maidana
castillo beat him in that 1st fight.
Danny Hawthorne here we go again..
Anonymous true Castillo lost fair and square
Ricky Hatton would of beat him if the ref let him work on the inside.
100% twas Castillo
Legendary boxer 💯💯
@instant truth best defensive boxer in history and beat every opponent people that don't think floyd is good are ones that don't understand boxing 💯
@instant truth he did fight the best Ricky Hatton in his prime Shane Mosley , canelo, pacman , oscar dela hoya his won in multiple weight classes his a legend
Joselico gracias 🇺🇸🌍Joselico Your güera es uno de los boxeadores que ha sido grandes storia no perdido su título todavía me gusta su estilo de pelea hace ver entonces todos los demás para mí es un buen boxeador 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥊👑💪
I wish this was newer
Rio is a great interviewer..!
Pac-Man and floyd support Man Utd.
Hate him or love him he is the best to ever do it
Jord Broad I know he is, floyds pretty good aswell tho👍
@@josephcassidy1854 🤣🤣🤣
He ranks some where between 30-50 top boxers of all time
Julio chavez was like 87-0 at one point Ricardo López was 51-0,Marciano was 49-0 AT HEAVY WEIGHT and they didn’t fight wrestlers and taekondo fighters
@Kerrin Henry sugar ray robinson, Ali, sugar ray lenard, roberto duran, Hagler, Thomas hearns, Chavez, Tyson, Jack Dempsey ,George Foreman, Chavez, Carlos Monzon, Marciano, hary greb, joe louis , Holyfield ....off the top of my head way above Mayweather
The Legend lives
Silence : the GOAT speaks #TBE
He seems down to earth.
People always forget where he started. They just see the "money may" character.
Because he’s on earth
@@egzy101 yeah true
@Wat ching u Are all boxers rich or something?
Floyd is great but Pacquiao is a legend respect for both fighters who gives big contributions to the sport of boxing. We are very lucky to witness this two great fighters in this Era.
I think Floyds toughest fight was Jose Luis Castillo, Most people felt Floyd lost the first fight including myself but Floyd clearly won the rematch.
@Lions Hunt Floyd did not win that first fight he got a gift but thats your opinion i respect it
Worse questions ever, Rio just kissed his arse the whole interview
This man put in work though no joke.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. living legend
Rio being a boxer would have been mad
Prolly has no chin for that
That interviewer was super cool 😎
This is old interview by the way
“Uhmm, I love England” 🙄
What records?
Oh my, Floyd, is the best --track and field boxer in the ring. Bar none. Incredible skills
- Run, box, run, repeat.
The greatest to ever do it TBE
Say 'EPIDEMIC' for us Floyd
He is just the king of boxing on this generation, love or hate ,hats off to him
Was this before conor vs Mayweather? The first one..
TBE to lace up a pair of gloves 🥊 and a BOSS of a defender ⚽️
he actually called it Football. I'm in shock
It is football
He’s a great man
Best defensive fighter n champion
a lot respect goes to Floyd Mayweather jr... luv he’s sense of humor as well 😎😂 now as a promoter he’s Great 👍🏻
I’m so curious to know how he got on in his 3 months prison stint. Surely he was well protected or nobody dared to mess with him?
This says 7 months ago but this interview must have been years ago
Mayweather should write a biography
Understand he’s undefeated and huge respect ✊ for that, however I feel SRL (Sugar Ray Leonard) was a better fighter
Floyd "I make smart investments" Mayweather
The GOAT and Floyd Mayweather
8.40.... what happens n they have to change the scene? on a phrase like, "wanted to compete against the best" ?
weird!
TMT TMT TMT! GREAT VIDEO!
Through out this interview Floyd Mayweather speaks a lot like an entrepreneur.
