Every time I go out there and compete, my number is, of course, $100 million or better.
I loved competing and winning and also wanted to continue my career for the fans, knowing they were there for me and enjoyed watching me fight.
Conor McGregor is a tough competitor. He proved throughout the years in the UFC that he can fight standing up.
My whole outlook on life is, never judge a book by its cover.
If I'm scared and I'm a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?
Most people should be talking about how Floyd Mayweather is a great undefeated future Hall of Famer that's his own promoter and that works extremely hard to get to where he's at. Instead, all you hear is hate and jealous remarks from critics who criticize me and, you know, most of the time, the people that criticize me can't do what I can do.
People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other.
Mike Tyson was one of the fighters who motivated me. How? We both used to train at the Golden Gloves boxing gym. I used to see his Rolls-Royce, his diamond Rolex on, and I said, 'You know what? Those are the things that I want.'
What I learned from boxing and what everyone can take in real life is to follow directions, follow order. Don't give nobody a hard time.
What's so crazy is when you give interviews to reporters that don't really care too much for you, basically what they're going to do is write what they want to write and discredit you. They're going to write and say what they want to say, no matter what you tell them.
My dad was in a hospital for months. The doctors told my dad he would never be able to walk again. My dad beat all the odds. He came back and was able to walk and start boxing again. He went to No. 1 in the world at welterweight to fight for the world title. But he never had his chance to fight for a world title.
There's ups and downs with boxing, layoffs are part of the sport and they can either help or hurt a guy.
Don't ever know who you may meet, or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy, don't mean they're not an important person. You just don't ever know who you're gonna meet in life. So that's why I look at everybody as equal. Can't just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.
I'm not here to judge Mike Tyson. I'm not here to judge nobody. I'm not here to monitor no other fighters. I respect him for what he did in the sport of boxing. He was an entertainer.
Mayweather Promotions - we are the past, the present, and the future of sports and entertainment, and everybody knows Mayweather's pay is better.
When they put me on ESPN and they talk about negative things, or when they put me on TMZ and they talk about negative things, I'm just glad that I'm relevant; to have lasted this long being relevant.
If you were my friend, I love you unconditionally. I like you the same way I like everyone else that's around me.
I'm looking to expand my portfolio while I'm on top and while I'm young.
I was able to retire from the sport with all my faculties and not let the sport retire me.
Nobody is faster than me.
