My whole outlook on life is, never judge a book by its cover.
When God wants me to lose, then that’s when I’ll lose. But until then, I’m going to be at the top of my game and keep working hard anddedicating myself to the sport of boxing and to being the best entertainer that I can be.
No athlete works harder than Floyd Mayweather.
When I was younger, my dad did want me to be perfect, so that’s probably why that’s installed in me to this day. I want to be perfect at whatever I do. I can’t help it. It’s just installed in me.
To be honest with you, I normally beat guys with my C game and I don’t have to pull my A or B game out.
Cotto is a talented fighter but I’m God gifted.
I’m the best at talking trash I’m also the best at going out there and backing it up.
There comes a time when money doesn’t matter.
Showing is better than telling.
He can have heart, he can hit harder and he can be stronger, but there’s no fighter smarter than me.
When I was about 8 or 9, I lived in New Jersey with my mother and we were seven deep in one bedroom and sometimes we didn’t have electricity.
I like to control my own personal life.
All the money I have, I got it legally.
Any fight that Floyd Mayweather is in is going to be entertaining, regardless. People come to see an icon, a living legend, a superstar.
If anyone has followed my career, they know that there’s been a lot of obstacles and a lot of ups and down through my career. But day in and day out, and in the square circle, I went out there and always did my best.
Everywhere I go, I will make a good payday. But we got to choose the right opponent and the right time and the right venue.
Of course, we all know what UFC stands for – Undefeated Floyd’s Champion.
I’m not in this sport to see how hard I can get hit or to see how many big punches I can take. I am in this game to fight as long as I can. I am trying to dish a lot of punishment.
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.
My team calls all the shots out of the ring, I call them in the ring.
