I'm a firm believer that before you can go anywhere, you have to conquer the level that you are at, just like young kids do it today with video games, they have to finish one level to go to the next one. Conquer one level at the time, and only then you'll get where you want to go to.
If I did want to come back, I was going to make, what, $50 million? You know what; don't call my phone unless you've got $100 million.
I come from a very rough background, and I'm saying that if you work hard and dedicate yourself that you can make it, too.
You have good days, you have bad days. But the main thing is to grow mentally.
Las Vegas is the boxing capital. During a Floyd Mayweather fight weekend, you can shop, party, stay out late and do anything you want. The city of Las Vegas has everything.
To be the best you have to work overtime.
I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.
Everybody is blessed with a certain talent, you have to know what your talent is maximize it and push it to the limit.
As long as you know you gave whatever you did 100% you're considered a winner in my book.
I've truly been blessed. I've taken my time, kept my eye on the prize and done what I've had to do. So I'm able to make a choice when to retire. Most fighters really couldn't.
Showing is better than telling.
