Tom Brady disputes notion he is close friends with Floyd Mayweather
Last week, Floyd Mayweather said Tom Brady texted him in the days leading up to his fight with Conor McGregor Saturday night. He went on to describe Brady as a “close friend,” a notion Brady seemed to dispute in a radio interview Monday morning.
“Uh, no. I met him a couple of times,” Brady said on WEEI after a long pause. “I think he’s a great fighter. That was a great fight the other night.”
Brady watched the fight on Sunday morning because he was busy Saturday night.
“No, I saw it the next morning,” he said. “I had a friend’s wedding I was at. It was a fun night for me. I had a lot of my friends in town. One of my great friends got married, so it was a fun night.”
As part of Showtime’s “All Access” program in the weeks leading up to the fight, Brady was seen FaceTiming at Mayweather’s press conference with McGregor.

Brady was asked a second time about his connection with Mayweather.
“Yeah, I’ve met him a couple of times,” said Brady after another long pause. “Like I said, I think he’s a great fighter.”
