"I'm not gonna set up a fight for 400,000 when I'm making over 300million" jheeze said like a boss that he is 💯🔥🔥
Can’t hate on him only the dummies that tune in
Money are your new god,
aveugle par choix
He didn’t make that
@@rupert6001 you crazy. he had 100m dollar checks that hasnt been cashed too.
People hate Floyd but hes a very smart business man for an athlete. He doesnt do drugs, hes smart with money and he promoted himself. Lets hope he stops buying 18 million dollar watches though lol.
why not buy the 18mil watch? When you have over a billion $ 18mil becomes 18 dollars.
Don Hines Hes made a billion, he probably has 300 mil left.
i'm sensing anger issues
@hagler10033 What year did Floyds prime end?
$18 million dollar watches aren't a problem because diamonds don't lose their value. Million dollar cars or clothes or $2 million dollar spending sprees for clothes or strip clubs are a problem. That's money down the drain.
Floyd looking like he just finished a productive light workout.
LMAO
Stanlayy7000 that’s because he did. LOL
He won the boxing match put him against him in the UFC. He'd nock him out in ten seconds
@@chadreno9834 no he wouldn't ......who wants to roll around on the ground with another man...??? Not manly at all. More money and dignity in 🥊
@@chadreno9834 hurr durr
McGregor went from finishing him in 3 rounds to celebrating lasting 10 rounds.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂🤣
maybe you're doing mushrooms or something but everybody saw he was upset with himself more than with that fucking crooked referee. what he ever celebrated was the paycheck. was never proud of his performance which he could be. When a guy keeps bending over, turning your back on you and the ref keeps ripping you off of him most of the time for no goddamn reason you better be sure there is something wrong going on
Yo! Is this really you?
Jordan Schlansky Floyd coming to ufc anytime soon??
I used to hate Floyd. But I have now love Floyd's boxing mindset, defensive skill set, and genius business acumen. This man is a legend.
Best boxer of this era dominated boxing for 3 decades 1900s 200s 2010s
The man is a genius! he mastered the sweet science
Floyd “he’s a tough competitor” mayweather
Floyd "Like I said before" Mayweather
Floyd “he’s helluva fighter” Mayweather
Floyd "See my thing is" Mayweather
@@tonecorleone7592 floyd "my thing is this" mayweather
Floyd "at the end of the day" mayweather
Stephen A. Smith is the most casual boxing fan ever
Jason Clyburn he’s also commenting on ufc now and it’s painful to hear
Imagine us mma fans lol
@@airoHYT ESPN needs to justify paying him that fat contract
He is a casual. Period. He doesn't know sh*t about anything.
he’s a lil less than casual even lmao
“Let me retire”
I’m here from the future to say he fights a guy called Logan Paul
He said nobody from mma or boxing don’t call me out anymore... here come the RUclips stars
@@Nnlly he fought an mma guy from Japan though.. lol
@@mamamymammasaidthat6764 He was a kickboxer I believe
Well thats the easiest huge payday in boxing history so yeah makes sense lol
Here after the fight
It must count as 50-0 because if he would have lost then everybody in the world would look at him as 49-1 and would say he is not undefeated because he lost. So that must go both ways and must count as 50-0
Who’s watching this with no socks on?
whack code me
Me
No socks
Does a condom count
im watching this with house slippers.true story
He’s made Roger proud every single fight. Never let his family down not even once.
Nothing but respect to the best pure boxer of this era. His ring IQ is unmatched even amongst the current top guys in the sport.
i wouldnt say unmatched, Crawford now is pretty damn good. Floyd record is perfect but the reality is some fights were close, some even controversial
Floyd runs every fight hes a pussy
@@kuntysonnn6999 then you dont know boxing to make a dead comment like that
Hahahhahahah fought an MMA?? Lmao
@simion pop he's NEVER lost a fight.50-0 end of discussion!
He was smooth, composed and professional in this interview and the fight. That Man Floyd a pure bred champion
0:45 “shoot his load” . . . cmon Floyd . . . cmon man . . .
Gone sexual😂😂😂😂
he had to say it 4 times as well lmao
@Black Lives Don’t Matter This is America! doesnt matter if you have 20 women living with u if u say something gay it still sounds gay
Sounds gay really
"We knew he was coming with big shots early, I let him just keep coming until he shot his load"
Lmao only in boxing could the athlete himself freely admit to gambling on the very fight he is fighting in
Jose Alfonso, that’s fine because it was a positive bet. It would be a illegal if he’d bet against himself
Sam James what you mean positive? He bet the under. If the money made sense, he coulda took a dive.
Boa Bags, positive as in for himself to win, it would be a negative bet to bet against oneself. He couldn’t put $100,000 on his opponent to knock him out but he could the other way around.
Sam James he bet the under, as in total rounds the fight will last, doesn’t matter who won. He coulda took a dive and a loss just to make sure the under hit if he wanted too
Boa Bags no it was for him to win and under 12 rounds. Try to use your brain bro. Obviously that wouldn’t be allowed. Please don’t argue with this, accept you’re a stupid person and start thinking next time.
THE GOAT!!!!!!!! 💪
Boooooo!!!!!!!
Ginger onions and tomatoes
THE CHAMP 🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌
Money
He is. More than all of them
🗣 Don't let this distract you from the fact that they fought today a year ago
Zenigundam first off GGG is a middleweight while Floyd is welterweight, that’s a massive difference so no way Floyd or anyone in that position would take that fight. Second GGG only became known to casuals AFTER Floyd retired so the PPV wouldn’t have made much since not many casuals knew GGG back then
Man the hate this man gets is ridiculous??.. He fought canelo when he was heavy consider to be next up ..Hatton when they thought he was gonna knockem out...I don't even really like Floyd...but I respect his craft..he a hard worker ...so he deserves what he have ..
@@Zenigundam what are you talking about 😒? Do you even watch boxing. Floyd started his career at lightweight. No way he should be fighting a natural middleweight in ggg. Besides ggg ducked Ward
At least people didn't have to waste their money to watch the fight on youtube like the ksi vs logan
#CeazeBred Happy 50-0 day
People talk on mayweather but he just mentioned maidana,pacman,cotto,canelo have power respect
Stephen smith talks so loud but never actually says anything
That takes skill
Floyd was ahead of his time, he'd have thrived in the social media generation when it comes to creating attention and interest he's amazing whether you love him or hate him. He basically had no dance partners who got it during his career who knew how to create a show before fightnight
Floyd did have dance partners but he was just the bad guy
Then he "fought" Tension Nasikaua 😂
No he didn't. It wasn't a real competitive fight, and everyone knew that going in. That's why it's billed as an exhibition.
Dummy
Made 10 mil in 2 minutes
Un1234l That’s why he accepted Khabib’s challenge
Un1234l doesn’t matter that he didn’t fight him at the end.
Say what you want about Floyd but dude risked so much for this fight. Imagine beating all those pro boxers and losing to Conor who has not had one pro boxing match. Respect
Mayweather really blessed McGregor because it’s waaaayyyyy more money in big time boxing fights than big time ufc fights
u crazy floyd never did 1m ppv, while mcgregor has like 5x 3m ppv buys in ufc
@@smoothcriminal7118 floyd vs manny did like almost 4M ppv buys you idiot casual
@@smoothcriminal7118 LOL
He wouldn't have made as much fighting anyone else. Connor was the biggest name in sports at the time. You can't sit there and give one man credit without the other.
He may be a smart business man, but he's also a genius technical boxer. He may not be very likable, but he's good at his profession.
AJ need to contact him for some training.
@@friendly1870 You can't train a bad chin
@@Hpscopezz he didnt really get KO'd so his chin aint that bad. he needs to learn better movement and get off the drugs.
Good? He's spectacular.
Mayweather: Can you let me retire and be happy
Logan paul Peeking out the corner:
Floyd is a legend and he’s proven it with his record idc what anyone says 🏴
72 people believed idiots like Skip Bayless and lost money betting on McGregor
now 108 people believed that Mayweather would be brave enough not to have ref protecting him in the most important fight of his life
72 virgins*
Future UFC champion it’s been a year and you’re still salty that’s crazy
Skips nearing death like 😂
@@knuckle-sandwichmma681" the most important fight of his life" this fight was not remotely important to anybody.
Wow a year later espn release this that's ridiculous.
Fernando Sanchez shit been out
I guess it took them that long to get over floyds win
It’s crazy how amazing Floyd is he said he was gonna let him shoot his shot the first three round , and 2 of the judges only had Conner winning one round and the other hand Conner only winning those three floyd was talking about
“This is a multi-mullion $ belt right here...”
Reporter: “Can I have it?” LMFAO headass moment
The Floyd drop all them names he beat is amazing. His resume is full of heavy hitters. How people thought mcgregor would hit harder than them is beyond me. Mayweather deserves everything he got. Pure talent and discipline.
Over here in London he was one them fighters worth staying up for all the time.
Kind of strange, but I always enjoyed how much love and respect Stephen A. Smith gives Mayweather.
Connor was 28yrs old in the prime of his career against a 40yr old man who was retired for 2years and got straight skooled and out worked, it was embarrassing, it was a joke.
i Mr go hard embarrassing for Floyd! Lol foh!!
Floyd got his neck snapped backward. Stop making up story we all saw Floyd clumsy as fuck.
Mcgregor suffered a traumatic brain injury. He could of died. So umm yeah fuck Mcgregor Mayweather waz toying with him
@@CK...... he made 30 million
@@ez1582 Oh yeah you're right. But still, 30 million is definitly worth it and if you say otherwise, you're lying to yourself.
I like how Floyd defends Conor in this interview. Shows respect. This made me like Floyd more
The most balanced fighter i've ever seen.. Always able to adapt to his oppenents stategies in every fight.. so wise and so smart
This is actually a really impressive interview. Floyd knows the boxing game better than anyone. He showed respect to Conor, he was composed and he showed respect to other fighters. A guy that’s just made $300 million, heck he’s allowed to have an ego
Take notes if you're a fighter. THIS is *FIGHT I.Q!*
And this man is a _GENIUS!_
Love how he always mentions Canelo last haha
so this proves that floyd can finish mcgregor in 1 round if he decided to goe toe to toe..he just followed the gameplan..damn.
And what do you expect... Mayweather is one of the greatest boxers ever. One of the top 20 ever? Man mcgregor is not even a professional boxer ffs. The fight was a farce.
@Floofy shibe 😂😂😂😂😂😂 boy you have to give mcgregor something... He is so FOS he is selling the next fight straight away
Nah, the only way he wins is if he follows the game plan, cause if he doesn't McGregor might win, that's the point of a game plan.
You’re delusional lmao
zu1875lu
I bet you weren’t saying that before
Floyd "tough competitor" Mayweather
How tf has it been a year already
Do you want the long descriptive answer or the short one?
wade wilson both please
@@ekathproductions legend says he is still typing his long answer
Katakuri HAHAHA
2 years now.
Hardest part for Floyd: trying not to laugh immediately 😅🤣😆😂🙃
50-0 TBE TMT
‘Retired’ and now he is going to fight again in 2 months lol
I feel like I've heard Floyd say all this before
"he's done"
me at 2021: lol
Floyd’s so smart EVERYWHERE it’s ridiculous.
HARDWORK AND DEDICATION 💪
The older I get the more I like the guy👍
I love this dude. Brilliant inside the ring. Brilliant outside the ring. He once said "I'm going to retire boxing, not boxing retire me." The greatest legend go enjoy life without boxing.
Why can’t they just post this when it actually happened??
They did post it when it happened. It's a repost
When the caster said if he could have the belt Floyd brought out he thought in his mind for a little "sure why not" this man is so rich he would give away a multimillion dollar belt like five bucks insane respect for floyd
"Can you let me retire and be happy? Please, please, please" - and then he decides to legally rob the bank with Logan Paul. Lol!
Floyd had WAAY tougher opponents than Conor. He fought Zab Judah in his prime, Canelo in his prime, Miguel Cotto, bruh, Pacman, Conor is nothin compared to em. No boxin fans betted on Conor
Cancelo 22 years old in his prime🤔
@@1997malek Canelo was 42-0-1 when he fought Mayweather just for context on how unbelievable good he was then. So for sure he was in his prime but he said afterwards he learned so much from fighting Mayweather and mentally he is probably better now. According to Canelo during post fight interview he said, "I just couldn't find him". I think Canelo will be the next big face of boxing (if he isn't already) but it goes to show how otherworldly Mayweather is when it comes to boxing IQ and skills.
Why so late SportsCenter?
KZ1994able They posted this when it happened, this is a one year anniversary repost lol
@@amadeuschavez. I think he was joking...
that belt just sitting there on the desk like its dust.
These comments be crazy cats still hating Mayweather when he clearly giving Connor the UFC and boxing legends before him mad respect smdh
He’s done then he goes and fights Tenshin
this interview made me like floyd, very well spoken and seems much more humble
I'm so happy for Floyd's victory win!
Well deserved and retirement happy champ! 👑🥊👊🏼
Great fighter. One of the greatest of all time.
I'm not gonna set up a fight for $400,000 when I'm making over $300 million. Champ
Connor dont punch like Maidana, Canelo or Pacquiao. God dam thats an elite list
canelo shouldn't be in there it was one of the easiest fight of floyd
dke pb yea he had to feel his power at least sometime when he got hit , he barely got hit but he had to get hit at least a couple of times
@@pietro4352 stfu U heard the champ he don’t hit like canelo
They're trying to get Mayweather to talk trash about Conor so bad but he won't fall for it. Pure class
I'm not gonna set up a fight for $400,000 when I'm making over $300 million. Champ
I would have liked to see him and Julian Jackson. Timeframe bit off for it.
It’s soo hard to fish a complete from Floyd. He really loves himself
It is honestly insane that anyone would allow Floyd to bet on his own fights. He could’ve tripled his money, or much more throughout his illustrious career.
0:30 - He's thinking about whether or not he should say this.
I only watched floyd to see his sick defence and counter punching. Maybe you should think about that floyd when your looking for a new pfp champ
Floyd the promoter ✊🏽❤️
Old interview..
Floyd “Paved the way to be where Im at” Mayweather
The entire Mcgregor crew fell for the "Ol'Brittlebones" trick.
7:33 stahp stahp noooo!😂😂😂😂
Very humble
Lmao humble.. ye right
Can somebody tell me what kind of watch that is or at least the brand
Love Floyd his boxing his interviews dedication he's just fucking great...
For someone who can't read. He's pretty tactical 🤷
He reads people and situations.
@@abramlittle7102 tht was good
Why are they posting these
einfamous Because it’s a one year anniversary, casual.
Mohammad G obviously 🙄. It just seems unnecessary
einfamous boxong just got resurrected from those gay youtuber fighting lmfao
espn just made a deal with the UFC and Conor is making a come back so it's pretty relevant
Reporter: Floyd, how you feeling today?
Floyd: My thing is this, He's a helluva fighter.
Its hard to be on top but you have the keep on pushing yourself above the limits
GENIUS MAYWEATHER
That wasn’t a knockout.
That was a TKO, they stopped the fight because Conor’s gas was no more. Conor never even fell to the ground.
He would have KOd him after as the punches he was throwing at mc g..
@@igganrajkolii9453 he was landing them punches because conor was gassed 🤣🤣 it was obviously floyds game plan
So tell me what would have happened if the ref didn’t stop it there
been lookin for dis
That Phillip Plein jacket is crazy I need that !
I thought Conor did really good wasn't expecting him to land as many shots as he did
Yes he did
2:38 - You can if you got that Floyd money - like his career has proven. LMAO
2:20 "But he's solid, he's a tough competitor" 🤣Y.R.
ESPN post the video a year later 😭
Stephen A smith is a dummy. "If you didn't miss some of those rights you were throwing" Mcgregor slipped them....it wasn't mayweather 'missing' Mcgregors reactions are too fast for you to notice them Stephen.
@@TheEvilPenguinGamer and he slipped a couple punches hes fucking amazing oh hang on he got fucked up still
@@TheEvilPenguinGamer is that an excuse? If so its a horrible one "floyd only hit connor when he was too tired to defend him self with 2 whole rounds left " connor is a high level fighter and im sure he wasn't dodging by luck but be realistic connor wasn't winning that fight
TheEvilPenguinGamer hating ass bitch shut the fuck up broke boy
U SOUND AS FUCC
Stephen is the most unknowledgeable man i've ever seen when it comes to boxing😂
For 5:30min long i thought the belt was a undercooked pizza
Floyed.... Genius inside and outside the ring
And he's back XD
You know Floyd never gets true credit everything he's done he's phenomenal.just look back on his career speaks for itself # Way to get paid on the way out the door# MTM The Money Team
Thats the man that he once talked trash about ali's strategy with George Foreman and he did the exact same thing with conor.
Why is this Uploaded now?! 🤔
So are they just posting these interviews because of the ksi vs Logan Paul fight.. ..
One year anniversary
Wow
mayweather vs McGregor was on the 26th of august, one year anniversary
thank jake paul fans for that not fight fans
Ksi v Logan is irrelevant now
