Boxing has always been work to me, a job. If I could say anything to a youngster taking up boxing it would be to "be smart and not take a lot of punches". It's called the sweet science for a reason. Hit and not be hit, make a lot of money without taking a lot of punishment. That's what it's about.

I don't fight for bragging rights.

I've set the model of showing fighters how they should conduct their business.

Hopefully, some day I help some of this up-and-coming talent and promote them. Boxing is growing and is here to stay.

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.

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

I don't know who my three next opponents will be. A lot of people ask me that. You want to fight me? Earn it.
