“I can get a black eye, a bloody nose. I can have a bad day in the gym. At the end of the day, I don't have a bad payday, and I don't have a bad night under the lights... I get bumps, bruises... but I don't have a bad night.”
“My kids are the future of the Mayweather family and of the Mayweather brand. I feel our family is stronger if we stay together.”
