Meaning
This reads as a comparison between visible pain and professional payoff. Mayweather is saying that boxing may leave marks, but it does not leave him with the uncertainty or disappointment that can come in other jobs, so the physical cost is framed as worth it. It lands in any discussion of risk in sport, where hardship is measured against control, compensation, and the certainty of the result.
