Following an epic night of donations to future college tuitions, Floyd Mayweather took a brief moment to speak with TMZ Sports. While we’re still waiting for the official Conor McGregor deal announcement, Floyd went to break down how boxing has always been superior to MMA. While saying that he undoubtedly responds the UFC brand, he cited the lack of real legends and big pay days the main reason for why he feels it’s no comparison at the moment.

Much like himself, Floyd considers Conor a fighter and broke down how the majority of his victories are with him standing and the victim briefly knocked out from punches.
