Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 48-year-old slammed 'The Problem Child' and 'Iron'. The Netflix-streamed fight reportedly did record numbers, but 'Money' wasn't impressed.

He said:

"Well, basically, when you're watching boxing for free, you can have millions and millions and millions, hundreds of millions of views. But when you're watching Floyd Mayweather, you have to pay."

Rogan explained that Mayweather grew up in a family of professional boxers, which exposed him to constant sparring from a young age.

Rogan said:

"Mayweather's father was a great fighter. Mayweather's father fought Sugar Ray Leonard back in the 1970s when Sugar Ray was in his prime and gave him a hell of a fight. His uncle Roger was Roger Mayweather, 'The Black Mamba.' He was a great fighter. So, Mayweather grew up as a child around some of the best boxers in the world. And he was constantly seeing the successful motions that they did."
