    SOUNDBITE: (English) Floyd Mayweather Jr.:

    "I've been in the sport of boxing for my whole life, and they say I'm wrong for saying that I'm the best? Why give a sport your whole life to say that, another fighter's better than me? In the sport my whole life. Every, champion, Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, there's so many legendary champions. Larry Holmes, and the list goes on and on, that opened up the doors, that paved the way for me to be where I'm at today. I'm appreciative. But these young fighters in the audience.... they know the truth. Them fighters say 'we want to be like Mayweather. It's not cool to take punishment. You know I've got a little bump and a bruise, but it's okay. I no I made somewhere upwards of $70-million (dollars) tonight. It's okay, we live and we learn. And that's I tell these guys all the time. You know, I'm not perfect, but I was trying to be a perfectionist. And you know when I'm in a corner, even if, when my dad is giving me instructions, even if it's something I know that's not working, I'm not going to talk back, because.... 50 laws of power, never outshine the master. Show respect, and you will get respect."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Floyd Mayweather Jr.:

    "Never bet against me. Never bet against me. Can you just imagine, how you all bank roll would look if you all bet with me 49 times. Just imagine."
