A biography for Floyd Mayweatherhasn’t been written yet.
“Don't ever know who you may meet, or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy, don't mean they're not an important person. You just don't ever know who you're gonna meet in life. So that's why I look at everybody as equal. Can't just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.”
“I like to play table tennis, spend time with my kids.”
“I knew Dana White as a good guy, a good square guy.”
“Every time I go out there and compete, my number is, of course, $100 million or better.”
“I land a higher percentage of punches than any boxer in boxing.”
“My skills are still my skills.”
“I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.”
“Even though I made $800 million, I am still grounded.”
“Worry about going out there and making your own legacy.”
“My dad was in a hospital for months. The doctors told my dad he would never be able to walk again. My dad beat all the odds. He came back and was able to walk and start boxing again. He went to No. 1 in the world at welterweight to fight for the world title. But he never had his chance to fight for a world title.”
“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'll back up anything my dad says.”
“I always put my boxing first.”
“I push myself to the limit.”
“When they put me on ESPN and they talk about negative things, or when they put me on TMZ and they talk about negative things, I'm just glad that I'm relevant; to have lasted this long being relevant.”
“Everywhere I go, I will make a good payday. But we got to choose the right opponent and the right time and the right venue.”
“I'm not here to judge. We don't know what Trump can do.”
“When no one knew who Dana White was... Dana White used to run around with me, hang out with me, and I treated him just like anyone else in my camp.”
“Once I am in the square circle, I am in my home.”
“I know that there's a god because I was able to survive everything that I've been through - all of the tough times - and I'm still at the top of my game.”
