Mayweather Talks McGregor Fight, Big Payday On ABC's "Kimmel"

Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night, with ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel noting Mayweather retired with a “perfect record of 49-0, his only loss came on ‘Dancing With The Stars.’” Kimmel said he “returns to the ring” to fight Conor McGregor in the “unlikeliest matchup since Batman versus Superman.” Kimmel: “They’re saying this is going to be the biggest fight of all-time. Do you think it will be?” Mayweather: “At the pace right now that we're going, it's going to be bigger than the Pacquiao fight … I feel like I owe the fans. Since me and Pacquiao didn't give the fans a blockbuster, me and McGregor should give the fans a blockbuster.”

Mayweather said of McGregor, “I don't like him at all.” But he added, “If the payday is there and the fans want to see it, then we're going to make it happen.” Kimmel said of the possible $350M payday for Mayweather, “I know you love money.” Mayweather: “It's cool, it's cool.” Mayweather noted at one time he owned a Brinks truck to carry his cash around, but he sold it to “another guy who loved money” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 8/15).
