(Mayweather is) too big of a fight not to happen, but obviously, it has to happen without Top Rank. Because I just feel that things that happened in the past with Top Rank, us not making fights together and Bob Arum not wanting to make fights with our fighters ... well, OK. 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.

I mean, we have our company, Golden Boy Promotions, which is coming up slowly but surely. We're probably already there and it's a big threat to him. It's a huge threat. But I think as days go by, it's going to get worse. And it's bad, but obviously we're going to hold our ground. We're not going to be intimidated by nobody, especially not Bob Arum.

acceptance against crazy difficult felt fight fights fought gain hero ike people please ride risks took
But people get these crazy ideas, ... I went on my own roller-coaster ride to gain acceptance from Mexican-American fight fans. It was very difficult and frustrating. There were times when I felt like shouting, 'I can be your hero too.' And there were times, like my fights against Ike Quartey and even against Fernando Vargas, when I fought more aggressively and took more risks than I should have to please those fans.
