As per the reports of Bjpenn.com, this is what the money man of boxing had to say:
“I’m gonna tell you like this. He’s blowing smoke up everybody’s ass. He don’t really wanna fight because I went to his boss and I’m gonna tell everybody and I’m gonna came and break it to you. He’s just wanted to keep himself good, keep his name alive, you know what I’m saying? To stay relevant. He don’t really wanna fight. He’s doing that to build his followers. He’s smart.”
Here is a video of Mayweather’s interview:
The five-division boxing champion also said that the UFC fighter is excellent at marketing himself but warned The Notorious one that he would slap the s**t out of him, the next time he sees the Irishman.
Mayweather hasn’t mentioned what White had to say during their conversation. But the UFC President in the past has remained adamant on having Mayweather fight McGregor in the Octagon rather than in a boxing ring.
McGregor, on the other hand, has claimed to have no problem switching sports and is ready to take on Mayweather in a boxing ring.
