Boxing is what pays my bills.
I'm going to always bleed the red, white, and blue. I represented the U.S. in the Olympics; I love my country. But the U.S. fans will love you on Monday; if you lose, they'll hate you on Tuesday. If you win, it will be back to loving you on Wednesday.
A lot of times, we get stuck, and we are followers. When you hear one person say, 'black lives matter,' or 'blue lives matter,' all lives matter. It's not right what is going on in this world on both sides.
When they said, 'Why is Floyd Mayweather not fighting Manny Pacquiao?' it was because Manny Pacquiao had a boss. I don't have a boss.
I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.
I land a higher percentage of punches than any boxer in boxing.
I think my grandmother saw my potential first. When I was young, I told her, 'I think I should get a job.' She said, 'No, just keep boxing.'
I knew boxing before I knew anything else.
I always put my boxing first.
My kids are the future of the Mayweather family and of the Mayweather brand. I feel our family is stronger if we stay together.
I commend Chris Brown and Soulja Boy for going out there for so many years and entertaining the people.
You hear certain things, negative things, all the time that aren't true, but you never hear about the positive.
A true champion will fight through anything.
I turned pro as a 20-year-old, won a world title a year later, and remained a world champion ever since.
We talk about these legendary fighters, talk about how they had hundred-something fights, hundred-something victories... but when you look at the history books, I still beat more world champions than any fighter in history.
I got a granite chin.
Once I am in the square circle, I am in my home.
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.
When I was in the ring at the Olympics, it was my father's words that I was hearing, not the coaches'. 'I never listened to what the coaches said. I would call my father and he would give me advice from prison.
Larry Merchant's just a commentator. He don't know nothing about boxing.
