A true champion will fight through anything.
— Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I'm always going to love my father.
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.
I basically raised myself.
I'm not in this sport to say a guy can beat me.
I'm always focused.
I'm looking to expand my portfolio while I'm on top and while I'm young.
I feel like everybody is against Floyd Mayweather. I don't get any respect.
I like to control my own personal life.
I'll back up anything my dad says.
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.
You can never overlook a guy.
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've set the model of showing fighters how they should conduct their business.
I want to be promoted in the urban areas. A lot of African-American people should know more about me.
I land a higher percentage of punches than any boxer in boxing.
I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.
When I was about 8 or 9, I lived in New Jersey with my mother and we were seven deep in one bedroom and sometimes we didn't have electricity.
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.'
All the money I have, I got it legally.
