Video After The Jump
Conor McGregor (21-3) made history Saturday, November 12, by beating Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, to become the only fighter in the organization's history to hold titles in two different weight divisions at the same time.
A TMZ reporter caught up with Floyd Mayweather Jr., who retired from boxing with an undefeated 49-0 record, and said McGregor was the MMA version of him.
Floyd wasn't happy with the comparison. He stopped to remind the reporter of the reasons why Mystic Mac isn't in his league.
"I didn't know Conor McGregor was undefeated," Floyd said. "I didn't know that he reigned in MMA for 20 years and was undefeated. And was world champion in 5 different weight classes. That's something I didn't know, so I guess you guys telling me something new, if you say he's the Floyd Mayweather of the MMA. Have he ever made $300 million in one night? Have he ever made $100 million in one night? Have he ever made $70 million in one night?"
"As far as trying to say he's the Floyd Mayweather of the MMA ... it's OK to say it, but it's not true," he continued. "I'm a legend. A living legend. I gave to the sport of boxing years and years of hard work. It was blood, sweat and tears. I had a tremendous team, had a tremendous run. I think it's time for Conor McGregor to go out there and do what he do. But never compare Conor McGregor to me. It's a total disrespect. I'm an elephant. Elephants don't beef with ants. An elephant is so large he don't even see ants."
