Morning Report: Floyd Mayweather Jr.: ‘I’m not just the face of boxing, I’m the face of mixed martial arts’

Floyd Mayweather Jr. went onto ESPN’s “First Take” to discuss a great many things Wednesday, many of them surrounding him and his long rumored/talked about/dreaded potential superfight match up with UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. Mayweather said that he wasn’t interested in coming out of retirement for anyone other than McGregor and even offered him a $15 million dollar purse plus a split of the pay-per-view buys but that the bout still never happened.

After his sitdown with “First Take,” Mayweather continued discussing McGregor and MMA during Facebook Live interview with Brian Campbell where he claimed he isn’t just the biggest star in boxing, but the biggest star in MMA too.
