In an interview with the North American podcast “Hollywood Unblocked”, “Money hinted that he 'took it easy' on Conor to prevent him from having permanent brain damage. Floyd said his rival has his entire career ahead of him and didn't deserve to get hurt.
“He has a career. I mean, he still has a career. He is still young. It could be very bad for him. We have to think about the fighters. Even my uncle, for example, a former fighter. I just got a call before I came here. He keeps walking around, getting lost from everyone. And he ends up in a hospital. So brain damage is a real concern for fighters,” said Floyd, who admitted discomfort in praising McGregor after the fight.
“If I had finished him in the first round, people would have had something to say. If we let the fight go a little further, people say something. I can't win. They are praising him. They're not praising me. I'm 40 years old, I was retired two years ago. He is 28 years old, active. I am inactive. He is taller, bigger. He may not be stronger, but he is bigger. He has a bigger wingspan and is younger. I trained for three weeks and was partying every day…” Mayweather said.
