(Mayweather is) too big of a fight not to happen, but obviously, it has to happen without Top Rank.

If you don't want to make fights with our fighters, if I fight Floyd Jr., then you're not going to be involved. It's not giving him the satisfaction. It's like saying, 'OK, you're not going to be involved in the biggest fight in boxing since (my fight against Felix) Trinidad. If he wants to play that way, I'll play that way, too.

But I feel that I was blessed to have her in my life, and I believe she's still looking out for me.
