Det har ryktats fram och tillbaka de senaste veckorna om en framtida MMA-debut för den pensionerade boxaren. Det kom senast på tal igen för några dagar sedan då Dana White hävdade att den potentiella matchen fortfarande kunde äga rum.
Floyd Mayweather börjar dock bli less på Dana Whites fortsatta påståenden om att boxaren ska gå match i UFC.
I natt svensk tid pratade Mayweather med FightHype om Whites senaste uttalande och hävdade att allt snack handlar om att skapa intresse då UFC är i förhandling om en nytt TV-kontrakt.
Mayweather sade följande:
Their deal with Fox is coming to and end
So they’re trying to renew a new deal with a new company what better name could they use than Floyd Mayweather? Becasue that’s a great name to use. I would use a Floyd Mayweather so I could leverage also and say ’you know what? Floyd’s gonna come back, he’s going to fight in the UFC’. Floyd’s gonna come back and he’s gonna fight McGregor in the Octagon. So they can leverage and get another big deal.
Den forne boxaren fortsätter:
I don’t have anything against Dana White. At all. he’s a remarkable guy, a very, very smart guy. Smart business man. I don’t need to fight again. If I chose to fight in the Octagon, I’m choosing to fight in the Octagon because that’s what I want to do. … If it didn’t come down from my mouth or AL Heymon’s mouth, then it’s bullshit, it’s bullshit.
The UFC, their deal, their television deal, is coming to an end. Floyd Mayweather is a good name that they can use to leverage with to get a new deal. Let’s not be stupid. So I’m not fighting, I don’t have no boxing opponent I’m looking forward to. I’m not calling no names out in the sport of box. I’m not calling any names out in the UFC.
Mayweather om Dana White:
Dana White, my man, it’s just this
I’m not worried about what kind of money you got, or what you going with your money, or what you doing with your family. Don’t worry about what I’m doing with my money, and my family. That’s the problem with motherfuckers nowadays, we’re too worried about what someone else is doing with their money.
I don’t know where he live, I don’t know what he drive, I don’t know what his girlfriend is, what his wife name is. I don’t know what he do at all. … I don’t talk about that man. I don’t see that man. I don’t Google that man name. I don’t care what that man is doing.
