Floyd Mayweather, Jr. quotes about
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.
I don't fold under pressure, great athletes perform better under pressure, so put pressure on me.
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.
I don't duck or dodge anybody.
All 48 of my fights have been hard. None have been easy. All played a major key. It's the 'Mayweather Era.' I feel that every fighter is an artist and they all take pictures their own way. I'm just one of the very best artists.
It's about having personality...it's not about being the bad guy, it's about entertaining people.
Anything I've asked of MGM Grand, they've done for me in a heartbeat. They're all about making entertainers and athletes happy.
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.
I'm not scared of any opponent. I fight who I want to fight.
A true champion can adapt to anything.
It's about being smart, taking your time, keeping your composure, just going out there and being the best that you can be
Hard work, dedication!
