Floyd Mayweather, Jr. quotes about
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.
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.
I don't talk about my personal life - or what I do with no females. Just know that I love women. A lot.
But it's me taking a stand for something that means something. And it's for the fighters who are up and coming. It's sort of the same stance Martin Luther King and Malcolm X made, so we could have freedoms, so everybody could tell the world that we're equal. The only thing I'm saying is that we are equal. So if you're not on nothing and I'm not on nothing, then let's go take the test. That's all I'm saying.
My spirituality is more private. I've got my own personal relationship with god. I know that there's a god because I was able to survive everything that I've been through - all of the tough times - and I'm still at the top of my game. With all the rumors and all the hate, I'm still strong, still happy, still blessed.
I've done some things that I shouldn't have done but I know I'm not a bad person, and I know that I can become a better person... Only thing I can do is work at it.
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.
Your body is your temple. You do your body good, your body will do you good.
When people see what I have now, they have no idea of where I came from and how I didn't have anything growing up.
I don't fold under pressure, great athletes perform better under pressure, so put pressure on me.
Canelo's a different breed. A lot of people think because of the way I made Canelo look, they're going to be able to do the same thing, but that's not true. He's a strong fighter.
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.
I walk around at 150-152 pounds to weigh 147 pounds. Other boxers weigh around 160-170 before coming down.
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.
