Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

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'm a professional fighter and like most professional fighters I have had difficulties with my hands in the past. ”

Mayweather Promotions - we are the past, the present, and the future of sports and entertainment, and everybody knows Mayweather's pay is better. ”

People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other. ”

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. ”

Bernard Hopkins? He fights scary dirty. I mean, he did what he had to do in his career. ”

A lot of times, in the beginning of my career, I put pressure on myself just because I wanted to perform so well. I just wanted to be perfect. ”

I loved competing and winning and also wanted to continue my career for the fans, knowing they were there for me and enjoyed watching me fight. ”

If anyone has followed my career, they know that there's been a lot of obstacles and a lot of ups and down through my career. But day in and day out, and in the square circle, I went out there and always did my best. ”

I've never had a job. I've never needed to. ”
