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.

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.

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.

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.

Boxing won’t retire me, I will retire from boxing.

I don't fight for bragging rights.

I know how I could beat myself: by not being disciplined, by slacking, by not dedicating myself to my craft, by not working hard, by not listening, by thinking I know it all - short like that.
