0:00Fuck what you guys think about. I'm gonna live my life the way I want to live it. This guy changed the game in his business. Pound for pound, the greatest boxer of all time. Please stand up and give it up to the one and only Floyd Mayweather. So 550 million stolen from him? Yes, and I still live a great life. Was there anybody who were in the middle of the fight You're like, alright, this thing is a little bit close I better make some adjustments No, everybody easy I'm made with everybody, that's easy Tell me if these stories are true or not Or if these are That's unbelievable, Floyd, to say that Yes Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait You mean the guy that took my whole swag And took it over there to the UFC?
0:52Fuck Floyd Mayweather If nothing can humble a person Boxing can humble you One thing everybody know when they face me I ain't got to worry about you. You got to worry about me.
1:15Hey, everyone. How y 'all doing today? Yes. How's it feel being here? It feels great. Just to wake up and see another day is truly a blessing. So every day we wake up, we got a choice and a chance in life. I love it. But when you come here, is this like a special place? I think you are 15-0 here, right? Out of your 50 fights, 15 of them were here. In this arena right here, I believe I'm not mistaken, 15-0. 15-0. Yes. Some of the biggest fights ever were here. You and Pacquiao, you and Oscar, you and, I think, Cotto. I think you and, am I saying to Corral Ortiz? a lot of record-breaking fights were held in this arena.
2:00And out of the 10 biggest fights in history, six fights was Floyd Mayweather fights. Out of the 10 biggest fights in history, six of them is you. Yes, but I couldn't do it without the fans and the people. I love it. That's amazing. And so, Floyd, your story, there's so many different angles I want to go on. I had a short time to prepare for it, but I know your story. I know what you've done, so I've been looking forward to this for a while. So I think the biggest thing when I think about, you know, we got to go through business, your boxing career, family, other things that you've been doing. Maybe let's start off with the first thing here.
2:38One day, you know, you come out and you buy out your contract. Yes. Something that's never been done before. You come out and you pay$750 to decide to own your own thing. And you were always calling everybody. You would say, you go talk to your agent, you go talk to your manager, you go talk to Aram, you go talk to this. I don't need to talk to anybody. What got you to make that business decision? Well, you know, each and every day, you know, when I was in the sport of boxing, you know, I would take my time and study. Not just what was going on inside the ring, but economics as far as outside the ring.
3:17Like, well, who's getting the extra money for the merchandise? And who's getting all the money for the tickets? And so eventually one thing led to another and I told the promoter I said let's become partners. He said no. So finally when I had the chance to become my own boss they had me in a headlock. Then I said what would it take for me to become my own boss and let me become my own promoter. And they said$750 ,000. That's the best$750 ,000 I ever spent. That's it? That was it. Why did they only, I would have never given you up for only$700 ,000. Well, they didn't own me now. You know, this is.
3:56But could they have said$700 ,000? No one owns no one. They had me in a contract and my contract had came to an end, but they still had options on me. So I took it upon myself, wrote the check for$750 ,000. And when I left the company in three fights, I think McGregor, Pacquiao, and Canelo, I made$750 million.
4:31Okay, so let me flip it on you. Now that you're in the business of having fighters, if you were on the other side and one of the guys came up to you offering$750 million, And that guy's name is Floyd Mayweather. Would you have taken his check? I'll let him loose. I don't want to hold nobody hostage. I truly believe in letting people go out there, explore the world, so they can accomplish and do the things that they want to do. If you want to be free, I mean, I can have 200 or 300 fighters. If they all want to leave, let them leave. Because I know how to fish, and I know how to climb. Got it. So your linchpin would be, you want to go work with somebody else?
5:12good luck. I know what I'm capable of doing. Go anywhere you want to go to. I'm not worried about it. That's the mindset for you. My mindset is if you believe in something, go for it. If you believe that you can be better somewhere else or you can accomplish more being by yourself or being independent, go for it. People would always criticize you saying, you know, he's not that smart. He's not this. He's not that. You would hear the people that would say in the marketplace, But there's no way in the world somebody makes a business decision like this and they don't know what they're doing Was somebody in your ear was somebody mentoring you was a truly your own decision?
5:48Well, a lot of times what these people tend to hear certain stories like as of lately We we have con artists and thieves in all type of business of course that comes with the territory Now have I dealt with that throughout my career? Absolutely but remember I always tell people the best thing about myself and the best thing about my life is I was born poor I was born broke so I was able to work myself from nothing to something so if I go all the way to the top if I go all the way to the top and once you go to the top I can go all the way to the bottom but I can go back to the top you know why because I started at the bottom and I know how to climb.
6:33Got it. So as long as I know how to climb, I will always be okay. So then let me ask a question for you to increase your identity. Uh, uh, what did you ever flirt with the idea of being a little bit reckless with your money? Because you're like, I don't mind going to the bottom because I've been there before. Or did you make a new floor that you're like, I will never drop below this number? Well, life is really short. A lot of times we think life, life is long. Life is really short and we can we can never tell no one how to live life we live life the way we want to live it and so i i could be here today and going tomorrow but one thing i can say i live my life the way i wanted to live is so do i do i like to have fun you know with my funds when i make when i make money of course but i also make my i like to like uh make my money work for me so you know um things happen shit happens um i like to have fun and live life out of the 1.4 billion that you made in boxing 750 million in three fights that you've had right what is the most money you've made out of boxing on a business deal um well you know i was i was working at one particular time i was in real estate doing the skyscrapers after the skyscrapers then eventually I moved over to apartments.
7:55So right now I'm working, we're doing some big deals in real estate. So mainly right now, the main income is real estate. Today? Today. That's the main income that you have? Yes. Okay. And you know, when you get the money that comes to you in a big way, what philosophies did you have for you not to lose the money that comes? What did you do? Did you say, hey, for every hundred million that I make, I'm going to put 20 % of it here. I'm going to put 40 % of it here. Did you have any of those rules that you followed? Well, my rule for everyone in this room is always to put half up, no matter what.
8:31Always put half up. So if it's$100, put $50 up. If it's$200, put$100 up. You always have to save money for a rainy day. Got it. So that was the philosophy going in. Again, I want to ask the question one more time. When you did that deal the 750 was there anybody you'll give credit to that said hey floyd try to get out of contract by asking for this was there anyone that gave you a hint or a tip or was it all you well i always try to surround myself with smart people you don't only you don't want to be the only smart person on your team fully you guys you have to surround yourself with people that's smarter than you and that's what i did throughout my career was there somebody in that moment that give you a tip anyone that gave you and said maybe this is a good idea how to how to move to make it happen was it a lawyer was it a person in the sporting game was it somebody outside of it it was a it was a it was a guy who was sort of like a father figure but he stole 350 million from me holy shit so i didn't so that's why i didn't even want to speak his name i got it so he told you to go by 750 but he got 350 out of you no he told me go right to shit well no i was my idea to be free sure um he connected with me because he knew i was the face of boxing and he knew if he he played he played chess like i play chess in life meaning that if if i'm able to get a floyd mayweather then i'm able to get two or three hundred other fighters because he's a face of boxing if he speak about me other fighters will follow so eventually um it was my idea to become free um i paid the 750 i became free he was helping me at least i thought he was helping me at least i thought he was was a friend eventually you know um we started looking at the paperwork years later and then we come to find out 350 million was stolen did you ever get that money back from him um we in we in litigation right now right now right now we're still in in litigation right now about the money.
10:41Is that the thing that I saw, the$164 million right now? Is that part of it or that's different? Which one? The$164 million. $164 million. No, that's the same guy now with the, we don't want the$200 million. Now, it's a guy who was sitting next to me, acting like he was a friend, helping me clean up business, and he stole$200 million. So this is a complete different guy. Yeah, this is a completely different guy. So$550 million stolen from you? Yes, and I still live a great life.
11:15okay so why do you think there's a pattern of so many great boxers having people that steal money from them you hear these stories from a lot of different people why do you think that happens it's no different from the bernie madoff story at this level is is totally different it's not like like what you think like with the 350 million it's not like no one went to me and took 350 million or what happened was showtime i've done a deal with showtime yep money on the back end spoiler came to mayweather promotions spoiler came exactly to floyd mayweather and they sent it to someone else account and that's what happened so floyd i'm looking at you you seem very happy yes you seem at peace.
12:01Yes. You seem grateful. Yes. Freaking beautiful to see that. Yes. How do you tell apart now and filter people out for not coming in because you've seen people take advantage of you? What is your process now? My main thing right now is trust, but verify. Trust, but verify. How do you verify? I mean, a lot of times you can look over paperwork, but you can have the best lawyers things happen in life we live we learn we keep moving i'm a climber i'm a fighter i've been a fighter since birth so i will always stay on top any any plans is that is that pacquiao fight gonna happen the the fight that you guys are flirting with well december you know december we got uh uh mayweather mike tyson exhibition we you know that's in december and i think uh Pacquiao Mayweather would be somewhere in 2027.
12:58So you think it's going to happen? Yes, yes. You know, we already talked about it. You know, for that fight, I'll be guaranteed$110 million. So, you know, we'd be okay. What's he going to get? Is it a decent number he's getting? Manny? Well, the reason why the fight hasn't happened as of lately, I know you guys kept hearing, well, why this fight is not happening. So let me kind of explain. Um, it was a guy, the same guy that stole the 200 million. He was in the middle of, uh, trying to defraud, uh, committing fraud against numerous people, I should say. And, um, we was going to fight on Netflix and with the deal, they tried to offer me as well as Pacquiao, uh, the same amount of money.
13:45And so I said, okay, on the first Pacquiao fight, I was guaranteed$101 million. He was guaranteed$25. So we come back and do the rematch this time, and they try to give both of us$27.5 million. I said, well, he lose, and he get the exact same much as I get? I said, absolutely not. So I said, go back to the drawing board, get your numbers right, and when y 'all got your numbers right, then come talk to me. Who taught you how to negotiate, Floyd? You're a very good negotiator. How did that happen? Things happen. Things happen. I mean, life experiences. You live, you learn, and that's how it is. So it's just through experience you became a bad boy.
14:26Or if I was like, if I was friends with you at 14 years old. Yes. And I know you're boxing at 14 years old. Were you still a very strong personality just as much as you are today? Well, we are educated different. it. Some of us are educated in school and some of us are educated in life. I'm educated in life. I know how to survive. Yeah, that's a complete different kind of training that you can't get from school. You're going to get it from streets that you're going through. I want to show a video to you. I want to show a video. I want to get your thoughts on this. So if you can pull this video up, I'm curious to know how you're going to react to this.
15:04This is a video of you. If you guys can pull it up in the back. Kelly, let me know if you have the video or not. Humberto, let me know if you guys have sent it to them or not. Okay, right. I want you to watch this video. Pause it, please. When you look at Totoro. Pause, pause. Okay, you know what video this is? Yes. Okay, so if you want to let them know what video this is, and then we can get into it, because I want to ask you about this. Okay, so 30 years ago, I went to the Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. I represented the red, white and blue my country that I love so much and as you can see the woman not right behind me but the third the other woman right there is my mother and people don't really know my story you know I come from seven of us in a one bedroom with no light no heat and I beat all eyes to get to where I got to.
16:07So my mother was on drugs. My dad went to prison. And it was always one of my goals since I watched the Olympic Games in 1984. I think I seen Mary Lou Retton. She was a gymnast. I seen Mary Lou Retton competing in Olympic Games and different people competing in Olympic Games. And it was always one of my goals was to go to the Olympic Games. And I was able to compete in the 1996 Olympic Games. And right there, that night, I fought, I was 19 years old, and I fought against the amateur world champion, Seraphim Totorov. He's from Bulgaria. And I know I really beat him. I beat him, that was in the semifinals in the Olympics.
16:55And I ended up receiving a bronze, receiving a bronze medal. And I didn't win, so my tears right there, I was hurt. because I felt like I let my mother down. I let my country down. I let my father down. But things happen. And you live and you learn. And actually, that was the best day of my life because I knew I didn't want that feeling anymore. So I went out there and turned professional. And now today, I'm 50 and all.
17:27By the way, I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video. 100 plus times and I can't tell you how many times I've shown this video to people that had a loss that they didn't think it was fair Because of how he reacted. I just want you to watch this and feel the sheer emotions Out of a 19 year old Floyd Mayweather watch this clip go for it On the on the score When you look at total off a three-time world champion, do you feel like he got some consideration from the judges?

Because you got to realize, with me, everything is black and white. No gray areas. And I'm not a person that's full of shit. I'm just, I'm real. I'm authentic. So, you know, a person like myself, and even like with me being here in front of the world, my thing is this.
21:53We all of us in this room want the same thing. Whether you see Floyd Mayweather with a diamond watch or Rolls Royce. We all want the same thing throughout life. We want peace, happiness. We want to love our families and we want a comfortable life. So that's why we make certain sacrifices to make certain money so we can have a comfortable life. Money is nothing but comfort. Did you and him ever unite, ever reunite since that day or no? Who the guy actually? The guy, yeah. Who I lost? Yes. No, actually, the guy that I lost to, I think he's homeless now, actually, from what I'm told. So, you know, everything happens for a reason, but I don't wish bad on no one.
22:35So if I can find him and give him money or give him a handout, no problem. You would do it? Absolutely. How about you let me go find him, and I'll schedule the meeting? Find him, and I'll do something for him. I'm going to schedule the meeting. Absolutely. I'm going to go find him. Yeah. Okay. because you know what it made me think about? Do you remember when the whole no mas, you know, the no mas, no mas, no mas, the Roberto Duran? I'm a student. Of course, I know you are. So I'm saying it. I'm a student of boxing, of course, because that's Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard's second fight. Now, Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard's first fight, he gave Sugar Ray Leonard his first loss.
23:20and um of course you know i'm a fan of sugar ray leonard um he's one of the guys that paved the way for me to be where i'm at and also sugar ray leonard is one of the guys that beat my father you know in in my father's career so he's a hell of a champion a hell of a fighter yeah and do you remember the clip of when they got together and they reunited and i think showtime or hbo did a documentary of sugar ray and duran coming together what they third i think they They fought three times. They did. They did fight three times. But many, many years later when it's like, hey, did you really do the nomas, the visiting of each other?
23:54I don't know if you've seen that or not. I didn't see it. It's a very good moment. I don't have it here with me, but I'll send it to you to look at. But it would be fascinating to see you and him reuniting from 19 years old till today to see what that conversation will be like. Yes, you know, just being able to. But I think it's truly unbelievable. But even like with my career for me, there's no other fighter that's my age. Because I've never really took no abuse in a sport because the first thing my father taught me was the less you get hit, the longer you're able to last. And that's whatever you do.
24:26That's like in business. You try to take less hits. You know, you try to take as many less as many. You don't want to take too many losses. You always want to win. So my dad taught me about defense, taught me about being smart, being intelligent. and I applied it in boxing. So that's why I'm still able at my age, and in a couple months I'll be, what, 50 years old, and I'm still able to go out and make$100 million. That's unbelievable, Floyd, to say that. Yes. That's unbelievable to say that. By the way, there used to be stories. Tell me if these stories are true or not. There was a story about you would go to the nightclub with your boys, but you would never drink, you wouldn't smoke, and you're in the back doing sit-ups at a nightclub.
25:11Is that a true story? Not really sit-ups, but hanging out at the nightclub, my team, they would drink. They would party. They would have fun. I would party too, but no alcohol, no drugs because I just, you only have, you only have, this is your real wealth. So take care of this. Your body is your real wealth. So you have to take care. God only give you one body. You only get one temple. Take care of it. So a lot of times we're hanging out. If I'm in training camp, I would run from the club. I would run probably 67 miles from the club. You would run from the club? Yes, absolutely. I mean, that's crazy to just say.
25:52So you would go to the club, you would party, but you're running home? Yes. How did temptation of drugs and alcohol not get you? How did you say no? It's not an easy thing that you're in that environment. How do you say no? My dad was, of course, I see my mother on drugs. I see my mother doing drugs. My dad was a drug dealer because his career didn't go good. So once I seen those certain things, I said, you know what? You know, that's not for me. So I took it upon myself not to do drugs, not to drink. I was always on my mother about I was I was always on her case about smoking and drinking. So I didn't want to be a hypocrite.
26:34So I said, I'm not going to do it. So then what do you do? That's major respect, but it's not easy to do so Floyd when when you all of a sudden are you know one of the most famous people in the world Everybody wants to be around you, you know the hip-hop folks show up everybody else shows up You know you're partying with all these guys, you know some some you know people that may have bad habits zero temptation nothing think well i have to look at my life and look what i got and i say to myself well floyd how did you get to where you got to was you smoking was you drinking to get there when you was living a clean life being thankful saying your prayers working hard dedicating yourself and and god was answering your prayers when god was answering my prayers i asked for a lot of things and i said god God, please help me get to the Olympics.
27:31Help my mother get off drugs. And I will continue to obey you and help me, help my family become great. And I'll follow you. And that's what happened. Wow. It's amazing. Did you, I don't know if you're, are you following the Keefe D trial with Tupac? Are you following any of that stuff on what's going on right now? I don't really be on social media because you only got 24 hours in a day. You only got 24 hours. Eight hours we sleep. And a lot of people that work at 9 to 5, that's another eight hours. So I can't spend with another eight hours on social media. So I'm out there building generational wealth.
28:14Respect. Did you ever hang out with Tupac? Or was Tupac, did you guys ever spend time together? I met Tupac in 1993. 93, I was in Indianapolis Black Expo in Indiana, actually. 93. So 93, has he, yeah, 93, Tupac is Tupac. Yes. Tupac, I actually, Tupac, the day he got killed, I was in this arena and he was in this arena because Mike Tyson was fighting in this arena, actually right here. And I was supposed to go to the after party at Shug Night Club, which is on Flamingo. You're supposed to go to the after party. Yes. Wow. You know, after the fight, it's always after. Yeah, of course. Most definitely.
29:00And so, interesting, because they just came out with a story saying the guy that killed Tupac is a guy named Keefe D. And the story, anyways, this is an area that I follow a lot of these things. I thought maybe there was a story with you and Tupac. Did you listen to his music? Were you a fan of his music? He was one of the best. One of the best. What do you listen to when you're training? When you're training, you're getting ready for a fight. What are you listening to? Well, a lot of times when you see me jogging with my headphones on, I prefer to listen to more R &B music. Yes, more relaxing music.
29:32But now I like to listen to Afro Beats and Afro House. Good taste. Okay, any specific thing? Black Coffee. Okay. He's a great, he's one of the best DJs. How about R &B? What were you listening to with R &B? R &B, a little bit of everybody. Cool. Brian McKnight, Keith Sweat. Like, who were? I like Brian McKnight. I like Keith Sweat. I like Mary J. Even though they don't like R. Kelly, I still like R. Kelly. I like a lot of artists. Yeah, you can't listen. One thing about R. Kelly's music, it's like so many of them that, you know. It's timeless. Even though he, I mean, it is what it is. But the music.
30:19Did you ever meet him? You ever meet him again? Yes, yes. Yeah, he's had a couple interviews that were epic, epic interviews. Yes. So, Floyd, your career fighting. Hardest hitting puncher that you walked away, you couldn't show it, but you knew this hurt when they hit you. Who was the hardest hitting puncher? Victoriano Sosa. A guy, Victoriano Sosa, a Dominican guy. now is this this guy's not a top 50 he's not a famous fighter he's not he's not but he can hit he can hit he can hit yeah he can it it felt very different than everybody else marcos mcdonald marcos mcdonald hit hard but not like sosa sosa hit he hit like the baseball playing out the park.
31:15Floyd, who'd you go up against where in the middle of the fight, you ask yourself, you said, this person may give me the first loss. I better change my approach. Was there anybody where in the middle of the fight, you're like, all right, this thing is a little bit close. I better make some adjustments here. Because you know the stories where everybody says, I'm wondering what you would say about this question. I don't really want to say lose, but I can go back to my corner and they said, Well, we need to pick it up a little bit. We need to pick it up a little bit, so I'll pick it up. Anybody? Any specific fight?
31:50No, everybody easy. Everybody easy? I'm Mayweather. Everybody's easy. Floyd, everybody? I'm Mayweather. Everybody easy. Where does the confidence come from?
32:07if if I don't believe in myself who's going to believe in me? Self preservation is a law to land. I'm the best. At what age? And the reason why I'm the best because when you do your homework because you have to be a student you just have to be a student at whatever. You can't talk boxing without talking Mayweather. Okay? Now Now, do you think that a lot of other fighters are my age and they still can go out there and demand the money that I demand? No. You're one of one. No one's ever been able to do that. Okay. So even at my age now, we got in a few months, I'll be 50 years old. Now, you tell me another athlete that can go out there at 50 years old and say, you know what?
32:56I need$100 million every time I go out there. Or if I do an exhibition, I need eight figures. Jake Paul's 32. He's saying 50. Well, the one thing about Jake Paul, now one thing about him, I take my hat off to him, but someone had to open up the floodgates for guys like Jake Paul. Now, if Floyd Mayweather is doing exhibitions and Floyd Mayweather is fighting guys like Conor McGregor where we make this sport, where we cross over and make things like this happen, you would never know nothing about a Jake Paul.
33:43Now, one thing about Jake Paul, we have to give him his flowers. One thing about Jake Paul, as well as Logan Paul, they know how to hustle. And I like their hustle. but in the sport of boxing you can play basketball you can play baseball you can play football you can't play boxing now jake paul was fighting you know basketball players little guys not really good fighters when he finally fought somebody that can fight he got his jaw broken in two places So you can't play boxing Floyd there's there is a There is list that they say the most difficult sport in the world I don't know if you guys seen this or not if you look up what is the most difficult sport in the world Boxing is always at always at the top.
34:32Why why is it the most difficult sport in the world? Handmade in Portugal The craftsmanship is a way of life For those who move through life differently From sunlit decks to nights that never need an occasion Every detail is considered Every step, effortless Crafted from fine suede and built with builder technology Designed to move with you Because true luxury isn't about being noticed It's about how you feel when you arrive The FLB Icon Loafer Made for the life you've earned
35:19Boxing sometimes, if you're not in tip-top shape, or if you're not conditioned, or you're playing with the sport,
35:32it'll make you question yourself just about life. It'll humble you. If nothing can humble a person, boxing can humble you. you can be you can be a gangster but you everybody against in boxing everybody's tough in boxing
35:52and on any given night it's just like it's just like a cop one shot can end your whole career so that's why i was very very smart you know um the best really the best thing about my career is is my mental so whatever you so if when i face a guy this is exactly what i'm saying whatever your best attribute is I need to take that away from you and make you resort to doing something that you don't want to do how would you do that? easy, if you got a good jab, I take your jab away if you got a good right hand I know I stay away from it if a guy got a good hook, then I know that's the only thing I gotta watch out for this episode is brought to you by Google Chrome you think you know a browser but Gemini and Chrome, that's new it can help you with practically anything on the web like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50-page restoration block or finally break down that long article you've had open for weeks.

I don't have to worry about them One thing we one thing everybody know when they face me he can fight I ain't gotta worry about you.
39:15You gotta worry about me Because everybody know I can fight So the onus is on them
39:24Basically basically Okay, so you know the game of Boxing like if you go look at a lot of people would say the greatest UFC fighter of all time is khabib or john jones they'll give those names right but they'll say no one was a better promoter than conor mcgregor now wait wait wait wait wait you mean the guy that took my whole swag and took it over there to the ufc so you're saying conor copied you and took it to ufc you tell me as soon as as soon as conor mcgregor faced ploy mayweather I mean, he was big as life. What do you mean? I mean, his career wasn't like that before. What was his biggest payday?
40:10What was his biggest fight? Prior to that,$5-10 million. Okay, so when he got me, what kind of money did he make? Was it$200 or$150? I don't know. He probably made, I think I made... You made$300. I think I made about$300. You know, I don't like to count another man's pocket, but he ate good. He ain't good. I'm pretty sure he ain't good. Floyd, if you've made, by the way, that one day when you guys were promoting this fight. Yes. I've never in my life seen a fight like that. No, not a fight. Promotion like that. That's why I had to become my own boss. But Floyd, you were sitting back and letting him do his own thing.
40:53Was it your way of saying this guy can do this better than me? Or was it like go do the show and sell the ticket? You didn't say a lot in that fight. It was mainly him talking. What do you mean, like, mainly him talking? So you're sitting there with your bag over here and your friends are over here and Conor's going around doing his thing. Yes. Selling it, talking trash, and you're just sitting there like this, not saying anything. What were you thinking when you were sitting not saying anything? Are you just telling yourself, this guy just made me a, you know, this guy just made a ton of money the way he's promoting the fight?
41:24No, actually what I was saying is Talking doesn't win fights One thing you can do He can do all that he wants I know that when you get in there with Floyd Mayweather I mean, I'm the truth When you get in there, it's go time So This whole arena could be filled with Conor McGregor fans But they can't fight for you The fans can't fight for you and as you like you see um and i think actually i think man connor mcgregor may lock up again actually yeah absolutely you encounter may lock up again yeah i i he didn't break his hand he broke his foot right right okay well we're going for the shoulders that's a good point that's a good point from the shoulders oh and i think that would be and by the way is there a friendship there or is there true animosity between the two of you do you guys have a friendship um I don't, I don't really, I'm not really upset with anyone.
42:26I mean, it is what it is. I mean, I don't, I don't live with Conor McGregor. He's not my friend. I don't have to see him. It's just when it's time for us to do business and lock up, let's do it. So it's not a friendship. You guys are not texting each other, calling. Absolutely not. That's what I'm saying. So you just changed, your body just changed right now. So you're not going to dinner together at Cipriani's and, you know, breaking bread. I mean, if we got to sit down to talk. For business. For business sake, if we have to put the fight together by sitting down, having dinner, then we'll do it.
42:56But all in all, I can care less about, I don't need to be friends with anyone. Was there anybody you ever thought that you had true animosity, that you wanted to destroy them? Anybody? No. Never? I mean, I want to win, but you can't go into boxing like that. It doesn't work like that. Tell me why. because if you, it just, this is a different, this is a different, boxing is a different creature. You cannot do that. Is it because you can't lose your emotion? You can't lose control of your emotion? You have to stay calm and relaxed and focused at all times because anything can happen. You can't go in there trying to kill a guy.
43:36You got to go in there with a game plan. That's just what it is. How much of you learning how to stay calm under pressure in the arena with 15 ,000 people around you, millions watching. How do you prepare for that behind closed doors? In a boxing gym. Where in a boxing gym, we always, we got this thing that we call the doghouse that I created. Where every day we let people from all around the world come watch me train. So sometimes there's 200 people in the boxing gym watching me train. So once you train around 200 or 300 people every day for 30 years, you're used to it. So when you're fighting, when you're in the ring, it's just like you and the guy in the ring.
44:18It's just like y 'all two in the arena by yourself. Do you even see the audience when you're fighting? No. You don't see the audience? I don't see my opponent. I don't even see the referee, just the guy in front of me. But sometimes when you were fighting, the announcers were talking, you were talking to them. You would go back and forth with the announcers. Well, I was just letting you know how angry it is. You would do that. Who knows what I'm telling you? You ever seen Floyd do that when he's fighting somebody? He's telling the announcer how easy the opponent is was hilarious watching uh you know some of those fights of yours okay so going back to connor if if they invited you if connor said hey floyd let's do let's do ufc fight would you ever do it in the octagon i don't have to i'm the a side always so you choose the grounds that's why i that's why i spent 750 000 to become my own boss got it got it so you you tell everybody It's my rules.
45:08This is how we fight and it's boxing. It's not my rules. It's let us negotiate so that both sides are happy, if that's safe to say. Both sides are happy. Okay. So if you've made$1.4 billion in your career, how much money you think you've made others?
45:30I'm not sure. What do you think it is? What do you think that number would be? Because you started We can't count no one else's pockets. We can't worry about what nobody else is getting. We got to worry about what we get. No, but the reason why I'm asking the question is to say like the impact. Because right now, right now in the audience, everybody's trying to worry about how they can gain more and grow more and grow their business. Not about nobody else who they're competing against. So I can't worry about my competitor. I got to worry about Floyd. Right, but I'm talking about like when, because you made a lot of people money, Floyd.
46:02You made a lot of people a lot of money. You know, you were one of those guys that if there was a Floyd fight, like we know Cinco de Mayo, you know, the things you would do, the hats, all of that stuff. We would look forward to it every flipping year. You make the industry a lot of money. Is there a Floyd Mayweather right now in boxing?
46:24Not yet, but my grandson could be the next Floyd Mayweather. My grandson is boxing every day. Stop. Yes. How old is he? He's five. You're not joking. No, I'm not joking at all. So at five years old, you think he has what it takes to be like you one day? My daughter makes sure her son goes to the boxing gym every day. Stop. He goes to school, then he go to his second school. For how long does he go at five years old to his second school? A couple hours, two hours. So what do you train? Do you train him or are you working with him or who works with him? Well, right now, I'm just letting him. He don't want to listen.
47:03He want to do it. All he want to do is spar. All he want to do is spar. But I'm telling him every day, you have to learn the techniques about boxing. But all he want to do is just spar. He want to box everybody in the gym. Do you say that because you see something in him that you're a member of yourself? He's super, super, super smart, intelligent. And if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change nothing because I won't be able to get that same grandson. Wow. That's my pride and joy in life. And I will always stand on this. My dad is the best man God ever blew breath into. But one of the best gifts God has ever given me is my grandson.
47:57What are you most proud of right now at 49 years old? What is your greatest accomplishment in life? Um,
48:06just being able to get up and work out, being able to jog, run, work out, play with my grandson, and just travel the world and live life. So just being free. Just being free, absolutely, yes. Wow. Being free, greatest accomplishment. Yep. Five years old. I would have never guessed you were going to say five-year-old. So at five years old, you're thinking this kid can be. We have kids every day in the gym that we help, that we push, just like Floyd Mayweather. If we're looking for the next Floyd Mayweather, we can't start him off at 16. You got to start him off from the beginning. The only reason why I'm where I'm at is because my dad basically pushed me to be a fighter.
48:50At what age? My whole life. What age? How early? From, what, one, two years old. I was in the gym every day. From one, two years old, you're in the gym every day? Every day. Yes. Folks, we're screwing up. Can you imagine? I mean, it's no different from if they want to, whatever you want your children to be in life, you have to start them off early. Even if they don't want to do it. I'm glad my dad pushed me to become a fighter. I'm glad. That's the best thing. That's the best thing in my life that my dad did for me. That's why he's the best. Did he ever push you away from boxing or no? No. How did he sell you how amazing the sport is?
49:32He didn't sell it to me. He would go every day. He would take me with him. Once he'd take me with him, eventually, by the time I was 14, I was ready to turn pro at 14 years old. 14 years old. At 14, yes. You and him had a lot of conflicts over the years. Some of them were public when you guys would go back and forth. Yes. How did you manage that? How did that, you know, and was it your way of saying, I know what I'm doing? What were the conflicts about? The conflicts was my dad went to prison. My dad went to prison when I was 16. When my dad came back into my life, I was 21. So I had my own house, my own car, my own everything.
50:17And me and my dad would agree to disagree on certain things. the same the same vision I had when I was 16 is totally different from when I'm 21. I'm on my own and I already I'm already living my life. I'm already traveling the world doing certain things. So I wasn't against what my father was telling me. But we would just bump heads. But at the end of the day, whatever I had to say about my dad in the past, I apologize. I come on record and apologize to the world to say, I apologize. My dad is the best man I've ever known. That's so beautiful. That is so beautiful, man, to say something like that.
50:58Guys, if you want to ask questions, this is the time to line up because I can go another hour. If you've got any questions you want to ask, this is your opportunity to be able to ask the great one. Any questions? Sean, I'll come to you first. Go for it. Yes, sir. So, money, man, brother. Thank you, brother. I know my guy's name. I know my guy's name. Thank you. Thank you, man. And thank you for being honest, transparent, authentic, and not allowing people to take you out of your game and start fighting rough and losing your senses. I appreciate that. Personal branding is what I do. That's the thing I want to ask you about.
51:32You were pretty boy Floyd and your purse was a certain thing. And then you became money Mayweather. Talk about the difference. what was the difference and how did the world respond to you and how did that affect your thinking and your purse well once i know we got to a certain point where we did record-breaking numbers once we once we've done record-breaking numbers now it's time to cross over and we got to change up we got to change up the whole look we got to change up everything and that's what we did thank you fantastic manny soto back there money mayweather man i'm excited i gotta pee like a racehorse bro but i had to talk to you dude you are bad you're a bad dude wherever there's players there's always player haters like all over the place man how do you deal with the haters like i'm there there's like little whispers i'm like man i'm gonna he's gonna whip your ass after this little interview here you keep talking this madness i love that but how do you deal with the haters bro like i know you get a lot of bad publicity yes come on like and don't filter it either like tell me exactly the real deal what do you like how do you take it and how do you develop it and how do you use it for yourself instead of against yourself um i feel like hating comes with success i mean if i wasn't successful i'd have nothing to talk about So that comes that comes with with your journey You know when it's all said and done We all came here the same we may not lead the same way, but we all came the same way So we all got a story to tell we all live a certain we all live the way we want to live and and that's life um Good press bad press write about me Is that literally the mindset that's my mindset that's the mindset good press, bad press, write about me.
53:33I'm something to talk about. Yeah, but does it, I know it's got to affect you, like, on a level of one to ten. What's the level that it affects you, and how did it affect you? If it affected me, I wouldn't be 50 in all. See, that's what I'm talking about. See, that's what I'm talking about. I'm telling you, if Manny Pacquiao won't fight you, bro, I will. Manny Soto, you know what I'm saying? Money, business, Manny, come on, baby. Yeah. Okay, maybe not. Quick, first round, Manny. Maybe save your a good looking face. Gary John, what's happening? Go for it. What's on your mind? How do you know all these people?
54:04I know my guys. I know these are my friends. These are people I do business with. These are my guys. Go for it. Pat, thank you, bro. This is an honor for you to be here. Pat's my high school friend and we grew up together. Yeah, we went to high school with each other since 15, 16 years old. So for you to be there with Pat, this is remarkable. But tell me one thing about your career because you admire me as an athlete being very good at what you do. is probably the best boxer out there pound for pound. And how did you pivot that one time to say, now I'm going to go into business and I'm going to be one of the best entrepreneurs because with your brands and things that you do, everything seems to be going great.
54:41So how do you take that from boxing to business? Well, we know that, I knew that I couldn't fight forever. So you always got, so at one particular time, boxing was my main source of income. But then you got to look. You got to look at certain fighters, you know. We can't fight forever. So what's going to be your next source of income? So while I was fighting, I took it upon myself to start investing in real estate while I was fighting. So it wouldn't be too hard to transition once my career was over. So that's what I did. You did a great job. Thank you. Fantastic. Right here. Actually, you know what?
55:24Let me go. Is there somebody up there? Is there a question up there? Right up there. Go forward. Hey, Floyd, how you doing? My name is David. And I just want to say, you know, I admire everything you did with the sport of boxing. And, you know, you're one of my inspirations to start training. I've been training for about a year now. Yes. And I just wanted to ask you, you know, you master turning your skill into a business and, you know, turning yourself into a brand, you know, a very successful one at that. So, you know for a kid like me trying to learn business and trying to be someone in life What's one piece of advice that you wish you knew at my age?
56:01Invest in yourself first invest in yourself first and It could be a lot of people around you that don't believe but you have to believe first So no matter what it is if you feel like it's something because even if you fail Failure is a failure is a part of the journey So whatever you're trying to do in life, go for it. Yes, sir. Thank you so much. There you go, buddy. Right over there. I got the hands up. I see you all the way at the top, Section 20. Floyd, so my name is Artemis Johnson. I actually met you five years ago in Miami, Florida at Matt Buchanan's event. I stumbled on my words, so hopefully I don't this time.
56:46you have a video where you say dedication hard work dedication hard work I'm a one-man army the world can go in against me I'm gonna still end up on top that has motivated me and probably so many other people's you know when I'm working now I always listen to that the question I was going to ask you five years ago was with your mindset how were you able to sharpen that and you know keep that fight through fight as you were getting to the record that you're at um because i feel like your mindset is like the the best thing that you have with you and um i'm just curious on how you were able to develop that to get where you're at well you have to realize just like when uh the young man was right there uh talking just now and the other little young man was right there and people like yourself every day I come out my home and I'm well when I move around just move around the world I have people like yourself that's inspired that I that I touch I touch their lives by them seeing uh certain videos or I touch their lives about they're hearing my story those are the people that count though because you got to realize hate and jealousy that is a that is people that don't believe in themselves i believe in myself i believe i can do anything there's only three ways you can learn in life hearing seeing and doing and doing meaning meaning physically hands-on so um i need people like you to to inspire me to push me to continue to be great so i can inspire others to be great so thank you I love it.
58:44Right there.
58:48Yes, right there. Yes, ma 'am. Thank you so much for being here.

1:01:42Well, what we talked about there earlier in business, what I had to learn the hard way, the trust but verify, I had to learn that the hard way. We're talking about 550 million. But every day I get up, my life is still great. my family is healthy and the main thing like I said before I'm gonna keep climbing no matter what I'm in a great position comfortable life great life and and like I said when I come to play I'm not coming to places like this the people inspire me to be great you guys push me to be great and so I will continue to come back and give my time and talk to the people no matter what Thank you.
1:02:29Awesome. Floyd, if we can talk about it, you guys can stay here because I may come back to you on a question. Can you tell me about the Money Team Legal Network that you're working on right now? What's that all about? Okay, so a lot of people around the world that can't afford the right team. When I say the team, meaning the right lawyers, and they're put in a certain position that's not good. So I took it upon myself, and I was talking with a couple of my buddies. One of them is James McNair and another guy by the name of Brian. And we reached out to some attorneys. We sat down and we talked, and we came up with a game plan.
1:03:20And the game plan was to start the TMT law firm so we can help those that can't really afford the lawyers and give them, you know, good representation, help them when they're in certain positions. And it's called the TMT law firm? Yes. TMT Legal Network. Yes. TMT Legal Network. And is that national? Is that Las Vegas? Is that Nevada? Where's it based out? It's nationwide. It's nationwide. It's nationwide. And we study growing. Yes. Fantastic. And you just started that? You guys been doing that for a few years? We've been doing it for a little while. You got to realize everyone is not wealthy. Everyone is not rich or wealthy.
1:03:59So we want to put them in position for them to be treated fair. And life is all about being treated fair. So that's why we started to help people that want to be treated fair. Fantastic. I love that. Respect to you. Let's do two more and then we'll wrap up right here. Thank you so much, Floyd, for being here. Your story is very inspirational. You have an amazing record. We all have fears that we have to go through, either as an entrepreneur, as a business person, or as a champion. I would like to know what process do you go through to overcome a fear so you can get to the next level? Belief. Belief.
1:04:42Everyone in this room, we have to believe first. Believe in yourself first before you can believe in anyone else. Believe in your dreams first. And one thing about me, I believe in Floyd first. And I continue to gamble on myself. Gamble on yourself. If you feel like it's something that's going to really be big, if you can be, everybody can be working for, everyone in this room right now can have a boss. But you still can be a boss. so in this new era i look at social media as a gift and a curse the gift is you can become wealthy overnight the curse is when you see so many negative comments it it hurts your feelings when you really got to say fuck what you guys think about i'm gonna live my life the way i want living.
1:05:36Thank you. Put that on your wall. Put that on the wall. That's all good. All right. By the way, I think Stephen Bartlett was nonstop as well himself. Go for it right over there. Man, it's a long time coming. I've been wanting to ask you this for a long time, but my name is Ron. The world knows me by Coach Holly the Scarring Night. I'm a coach, trainer, mentor, public speaker and life coach like yourself. I come from adversity. I broke generational curses. I'm the first one to graduate high school, college, first millionaire in my family. And man,
1:06:20my question that I want to ask you, being someone who is developing leaders in human development, right what was something that you did through the pressure the adversity and successes that you had that really drove you to become the man that you were required to be for your next level
1:06:45um everyone in this room we really need positive people around us people that genuinely care around us. Meaning surrounding yourself with assets. And a lot of times we surround ourselves with liabilities that we think are assets and we are too afraid to let certain liabilities go when we think they are assets and they're not assets. Even with certain people, it's just like a basketball team. If someone is not right for this program, trade them. Not only we dislike you, so if you, I mean, it's no different from a marriage. Sometimes in marriages, if I see red, white, and blue, and she see orange, pink, and yellow, and we don't see one color alike, then we're no longer on the same page.
1:07:46So surround yourself with assets. Surround yourself with positive people that really want to see you win Whether you got more than them or less surround yourself with positive people By the way, do you do a lot of affirmations? Were you would you do affirmations of repeating positive things to yourself? Because you are so bulletproof confident like you protect yourself with I'm the best I'm the best that's affirmation though. Were you were you always telling yourself this were you always yes? My dad always told me, I can remember one of the first tournaments I went to. My dad, because I was 16 when I went to the tournament.
1:08:30So you fight guys that's 28. You fight guys that's 30. I was 16. My dad said, oh, my son going to win the whole tournament. But he's, and he was like, what? Your son is only 16. These guys are 32 years old. I won the tournament. Then the next year, my dad was in prison. I won the tournament again when I was 17. The year after that, I won the tournament again without my dad. Then I went to the Olympics without my dad.
1:09:01But if I don't believe in myself, then who's going to believe in me? Like me. I have to love me first. So continue to love yourself. Know you the best. Know there's nobody better than you. Know you can grow. Know you can become better. Know you can climb. You think that's your number one quality?
1:09:28I don't know. It's bulletproof. What you got is bulletproof. I don't know. What do you put above that? But I just know whatever you teach me, whatever I learn, I can master it no matter what it is. It's such a powerful thing to have that level of confidence in yourself. I mean, you know, I got four kids. You wish your kids have that kind of confidence in themselves to go out there and do big things for themselves. Two last things before we wrap up. Why do you love America? You're very patriotic. Why do you love America? We should all love where we were born at. You know? Why wouldn't I love America?
1:10:09Do you think this is the greatest country in the world? Do I think America is the greatest country in the world? Absolutely
1:10:24What do you think about some of this stuff that's going on America right now, you know socialism they want to bring socialism to America versus capitalism What do you stand with that? I'm not gonna put me in the middle of that. I ain't gonna get in the middle nobody bullshit I'm not getting in the middle of that Absolutely, not I'm not getting in the middle of nobody business if it if it got nothing to do with me I'm not getting in it. Yeah, but if you have to charm raise, you know, I have children, I have to worry about my house first. Yeah. I have to worry about my house first. I love my country.
1:10:52I love my people. I love the red, white, and blue, but I have to take care of my house first. I respect it. But if you have to choose between high taxes and low taxes, which do you choose? You know what you choose. You know what you choose. No taxes. No taxes. It's what you choose. Give it up to the one and only Floyd Mayweather.
