It appears UFC President Dana White’s idol will not be rooting for UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor on Saturday night.
During a recent interview with ESPN, Floyd “Money” Mayweather revealed he is close friends with Tom Brady, who is the quarterback for the New England Patriots.
It is no secret White is a major fan of the Patriots and idolizes Brady. On top of White being a huge fan of his, Brady also owns a percentage of the UFC.
“Tom Brady’s a very, very close friend. An unbelievable guy with unbelievable talent. He’s a great guy,” Mayweather told ESPN.
Actually, Tom Brady texted me (Tuesday). We have a cool friendship. He texted me and asked me how everything’s going, and I texted him back, ‘Everything’s cool, how are you doing? How’s the family?’ He said everything’s going A-okay.”
Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
