[Music].

i'm alive at another edition of club. shay shay i'm your host. unk shark and look who dropped by the. club today. this is the one and only floyd money. mayweather tbe floyd how are you doing. oh man i'm doing great you know just um. you know in this pandemic and it's.

it's crazy everything going on but i'm. just spending time with family you know. taking one day at a time. that's the only thing i really can do. just um but you know what i'm doing. actually. is i'm working with fighters every day. you know i'm on my way to the gym. and you know after after we get finished. talking on my way to the gym. i'm working with um a lot of young. fighters. of course uh uh javonte tang davis he's. fighting on pay-per-view. so hopefully uh he does great numbers.

but um. working you know every day floyd you. mentioned this pandemic but i wanna. take the time to offer you my. condolences you lost the mother of your. kids. you lost your uncle your trainer a. friend. a father figure in your roger mayweather. so i want to send condolences out to you. and your family for your losses. thank you i mean it's been it's been. difficult you know you hear a lot of. different things. you know just about when you at a. certain level you hear different things. about people's personal life. you know if i wasn't uh a huge name.

or a huge figure you would never hear. anything so. i mean she was a great mother. great person and someday we'll see each. other again. and my uncle roger great man. great trainer um the will to win. just in life period and so um. things happen in life you know uh what i. tell my children. as well as people around me uh dying as. a part of life.

right so you know we have to enjoy uh. every second that we're on this earth. and cherish every second that we're on. this earth. you mentioned that you're working with. fighters i've seen you upload uh things. on your ig account that you're working. with your son you're working with your. nephew. um and some of the fighters when you're. an all-time great and and i. and i'd say this in my sport floyd. normally the greater the player is. the harder it is for him to coach. because he thinks everything is easy. because everything came easy.

well how difficult it is for you to. train people when you're arguably the. greatest fighter of all time. well what i teach my son is this what. i'll be teaching. my son is how to protect himself and. protect his family. just in case anything happens right i'm. no longer here. you still have to be the man in your. home in order to protect your loved ones. so that's why that's why i teach i try. to teach my. my children my two boys as well as uh.

my daughters it's about protection not. to go out and start any trouble. or start any problems but you have to. you have to protect yourself. and protect your family just. hypothetically say. something happens down the line and far. as just um working with fighters as far. as. a lot of time they like to say well. a great a great athlete can't be a great. trainer. right um i just try to be the best that.

i can possibly be. right um i'm not looking forward to a. fighter. being a floyd mayweather hopefully we. can find the next floyd mayweather. and hopefully we can do record-breaking. number as far as pay-per-view but. everything takes time. and right i'm gonna continue to go go. out there. and give back to the sport of boxing you. know uh. day in and day out i work with these. fighters so you're not teaching your son. to per se go into the sport. you're teaching him how to be able to. protect himself if that situation should.

arise. absolutely that's what i'm trying to do. just teach them how to protect. themselves. um hold down the fort as far as the. house. um you know their own home right protect. their family. which uh someday they will have a family. and you have to be the man of your home. in order to protect your family. so are you still in the gym do you. because i remember you saying that when. you were. when you were actually fighting when you. were active you were training three. times a day. so how active are you now are you.

training or do you just. go or as i say work out well actually. it's crazy. um as of lately i've been uh. running okay clean uh i've been. you know when i was fighting when i was. competing right while i was running. miles. right as now i just run for time i run. between. 30 30 minutes and one hour it all. depends. on how i feel you know that particular. day um. running um also uh every once in a while.

i hit the heavy bag. in the gym jump rope uh i'm doing uh. push-ups. and sit-ups on the regular just for. myself you know i truly believe that. your health is your wealth so uh. you don't want to make you know make a. fortune in the sport. and um let yourself get out of shape so. i try i try to work out just for myself. right. so when i go on the beach and uh or if i.

go out by the pool. i want to make sure i can take my shirt. off just for myself right. so when uh when i look at you. and i watch you fight it's not like you. have to do like a lot of fighters. because a lot of fighters have to drop. 25 30 pounds you're a guy that seemingly. only has to drop like 10 pounds because. you're so close to your fighting weight. all the time so you don't have to kill. yourself to get in shape and say a six. or eight week training camp. well you know it's crazy. because i was fighting i was world.

champion i was world champion at five. different weight classes. correct but i when i was competing at. the highest level. it was mainly probably at 147 as well as. one. fighting at 147 as well as 154 right. so right now i wait you know i keep my. weight around. uh between i'll say 155. 150 go up and down i try to keep my. weight. around 150 155 if i go up a little bit.

higher. uh then you know i push myself a little. bit more you know. it's just the dis discipline for myself. i do it for myself. right so in other words you're fighting. at you know welterweight 147. even when i was fighting at 154 right i. was always walking around at. 150 152 right always so. that's light middleweight correct well. super waterway super waterway in junior. middleweight. is the same weight class oh okay because.

it's you you right above water weight. right which is because water weight is. 147 correct you if you're above water. weight. you're a super watch weight and if. you're under junior middleweight because. middleweight is 160. if you're in the middleweight it's. junior middleweight so anytime you. hear uh super or junior. right same weight class i appreciate. that appreciate the education. so you stay within your you stay within. striking this are you trying to are you. telling us something are you trying to. get ready for something because you said. you're running.

30 minutes to an hour well um. you know i don't really know at this. particular time right but i get calls. all the time. all right i get calls about uh. doing exhibitions and um you know um. i seen something somebody has said. something you know uh somebody from my. staff has to. send me something about what i said. about uh. being a pioneer of exhibitions correct i. don't want to say. i'm the pioneer of exhibitions okay but. what i want to say as far as.

the pioneer for getting crazy money for. exhibitions. right that's safe to say you know to be. able to make. um i just got a number thrown at me not. too long ago. to do an exhibition we talk about uh. you know my number it varies it goes up. and down whereas. for some for some exhibitions uh. i make 10 million you know and some go. all the way up to. 70 million so that's not a bad thing. and i talked about this um with that joe.

it's crazy and i talked about this a few. times it's crazy that. like us you know like you. i mean say if if. i no longer i'm no longer competing in. the ring right. no longer fighting but it's okay for me. to still pick up. if i go make a quick appearance overseas. it's okay for me to make 350. 000. it's okay i mean i said.

the watsons is still making money. from walmart correct bill gates is still. making. money yep running bus off it's still. with your money. yeah it's still making money right i go. out and do a little sparring. or you know make appearances or make a. couple dollar dinners. all floyd's hurting for money um one. thing about me. i was very smart got a very very. smart team people uh a lot of smart. people around me.

you messed up on yourself with smart. people and i made. uh uh great investments so. i'm not hurting at all the the thing is. floyd is that what people don't realize. the more money you make the harder. people normally work when you get that. upper echelon you get those billionaires. and those high-end. 100 millionaires they work they don't. sit around. they work they can continually try to. grow their capital. i got to where i got you by working not. sitting. right retirement for me is not just.

coming home. sitting back kicking my feet up just. watching tv. um i still want to go out and have fun. and enjoy life and i'm still going the. uh. the twos and fews and them extra dollars. it never hurts. they add up huh they add up them to. absolutely yes. absolutely um floyd you said you said. exhibition. i look at what you did in japan when you. fought that guy as an exhibition.

i don't look at what you did with conor. as an exhibition because. you know for me it's how do you do it. like i can play flat like. i was the next professional football. player i can do flag football. okay if you're a basketball player you. can go to like the celebrity. all-star game you can do that but how do. you celebrity box. i mean those licks hurt i mean. somebody's really trying to land shots. on you. and they hurt so i'm trying to figure. out how do you how do you exhibition box. um well they told me in japan uh.

i was going to go out there and just. move around with the guy. right and um you know. take it light right with three rounds. thinking like they said. no we want you to go out there and. really get it in. we're asked for that fight as you can. see i looked a little heavy. so i was i wasn't the same i wasn't. working out like i'm working out now. right that's why i really wasn't working. out okay i went to the gym. and said let me spar uh i sparred a.

couple of times. then i went over to japan and uh picked. up like nine to ten million. right okay now you you talk you you said. you mentioned conor mcgregor. now you had to take this fight seriously. obviously you train you put the work in. because you know he's coming he's coming. to try to win this fight he wants to say. i did something no other boxer can do i. hung the l on floyd mayweather. jr well conor mcgregor a lot of people. must realize this. before conor mcgregor got involved in.

the mma. right he was a boxer. okay he's a former boxer whether it's. amateur or professional. from amateur fighter uh fighters. they got a lot of amateur experience. meaning if you got three or four hundred. fight. three or four hundred fights as an. amateur you really. basically is a semi-pro right so um. he never fought semi-pro but um he had a. little experience and. majority of his fights in the mma is.

stand up right i mean. so in other words even though he's not a. professional fighter he has the basic. understanding. of boxing because like as you mentioned. when he's in mma. he's not trying to take people to the. ground he's not trying to arm our leg. lock someone. he's trying to get them to stand up in. the middle of the ring and land shots. the basic fundamentals and every time. conor mcgregor. has taken the l in the ufc.

it's been because he has got he has. gotten taken to the ground. correct you know his ground game is. really not that effective. but i mean my head off to him it's crazy. that. a guy can steal uh a caucasian guy. can steal my whole remedy and and go to. ufc. and become huge but it is what it is. you you may so talk us through the fight. with conor mcgregor obviously he's a you. a a ufc guy mma and it seems like.

to me your game plan was like you would. just walk i've never seen you just like. you just like t you was like taking. punches you like walking through his. punches. do you not feel he could take he could. knock you out. oh absolutely not like i said before um. you know when you've been in there with. the best. right when i say the best meaning. um i mean i could throw so many. different names out. you know out there because um.

we'll get to those names in a minute. we're going to talk about that. because floyd i don't think you get the. credit you deserve. for the fighter that you are you beat 16. world champs. you're 50 and 0. but people always make. excuses. i don't know i think no i think i beat. i'm not mistaken i'd be 23. you beat. wow okay somewhere upwards today. it really doesn't matter okay uh it is.

it's all about at the end of the day. it's all about am i satisfied. okay i'm satisfied with my career and i. remember. you know uh you guys uh when we talked. about. uh anthony another decade right i can. remember you guys. when we had a you know a crazy debate. about. me and uh lebron james right sports. illustrated yeah. and my thing is this. i don't i don't talk about anything.

i speak facts and i'm gonna. always uh stand behind. uh athletes that compete. and go out there and give it a 100 every. night. and i was one of those those type of. athletes. so why don't you think do you think some. of the things that have happened. in your career often outside of the ring. hurt you when it came to this well.

okay my thing is this are we talking. about my personal life. or what i do inside that square circle i. mean i'm just trying to find out. because what i do in my personal life is. my personal life correct and what. someone else does in their personal life. is their personal life right it's so. i'm there to you know i'm there to. compete. and be the best that i can be right uh. in the sport of boxing. right or whatever you know or what. whatever i'm doing whatever field.

i'm involved in i'm always gonna give. give it a 100 right. so um people are entitled to to judge me. for. uh what they hear hearsay okay. making assumptions um just because i. never came out. and said oh let me explain i don't have. to explain in the nobody. only people only people that i feel like. i have to explain. something to is my children. and and my relation and because at the.

end of the day only god can judge me. let's let's go back to where it all. started you grew up in grand rapids. yes uh michigan uh your father was a. fighter your uncle was a fighter. both uncles two okay both uncles were. fighters so it was almost like you was. like destined. it was predetermined you were ordained. to be a fighter. yes um. that's all i knew you know but um did. you ever want to do anything else.

i was coming up yeah well you know i. played football actually i played. it okay what position did you play. running back. oh you told that skin running back i was. always. i was always the fastest one on my uh. football team. right uh i had fun a lot of fun. and if i chose them if i wanted to play. football. i could have played football if i wanted. to play basketball i could have played. basketball. that's what it's whatever i wanted to do.

floyd when i look but it's not easy. because i have a son. now i played professional football my. brother played professional football. but he wanted no parts of that and i'm i. was perfectly fine i didn't say. you need to play because i played your. uncle played your grandpa. i didn't do any of that i let him chose. his path did you feel any outside. pressure to do this. or because your uncle and because your. uncles and because your father. were fighters did you feel any pressure.

to do that none whatsoever. i'm glad that my dad. pushed me my dad pushed me and wanted me. to be the best. it was never good enough. and that's what i like about my dad he. was very very strict. um i mean i mean. when you when you when you when you say. a strong willing hard-working man. that's my dad and i don't care what we.

what we have been through in the past is. it's all about growth and growing. i love my dad because without my dad i. wouldn't be the man who i am today. i wouldn't have accomplished the things. i've accomplished. and um i wouldn't be known as tbe. if it wasn't for my father so i love my. dad my dad uh. every day no matter what my dad did my. dad would run the streets my dad would. hustle.

but every day my dad would make sure i. went to the boxing gym. every day and i love my dad for that you. said you you said. because i heard roy jones say this exact. same thing because he had his dad as a. trainer. he ended up parting ways with his dad. you ended up parting ways because. you felt that it was never good enough. and it was he was adding more pressure. than needing to be there. how did you come to that decision say. you know what. i'm gonna part way i'm gonna keep it in. the family but. that has to be a hard decision floyd.

because your dad is like. you got my name i get help give you life. and you you you parting ways with me. it's not it's not really part and ways. this is what people don't know okay um. we forget when my dad my dad left me. at the age of 16. my dad went to prison. so i was on my own at 16. from 16 um. to the uh to the age of 19 i was working.

by myself. then i started working with my own back. with my uncle roger so it's always been. in the family i'm gonna work with my dad. i would work with my uncle roger i will. always work with both. so it's really not like i was like. departing just. leaving my father right and i'm not that. jealous. type uh when my dad was working with. other fighters. as far as working with oscar and just. uh chad dawson and other fighters i was. happy that my dad.

was was able to still work with fighters. and make great money. right i'm not like that floyd you had a. very. you you win golden gloves in three. different weight classes you're a. champion. you go to the olympics talk us through. that because i remember. watching that yeah and how you got. robbed now. back you lost six fights as an amateur. all of those fights you lost by one. point. yes losing those fights so tell me. what's going through your mind. after a loss tell me how do you get how. do you get over and said oh man i should.

have won that. did you think any of those fights not. the olympics we're gonna get to that in. a minute. but did you think you should have won. any of those fights that you amateur. fights you lost. i mean i mean absolutely i mean if you. if you. if i lost six fights all by one point. one point. then there's really something today i. mean. i was fighting on the computer scoring. system right so. i mean that was kind of difficult when i. was fighting on the computer schooling. system. but you know just as far as how how i.

looked at amateur boxing. it's just uh uh uh. it's a learning program uh preparing you. for. the professional ranks if that's some. way you choose if that's something you. choose. to do am i really worried about am i. happy with. my amateur career absolutely if i happy. with. receiving the bronze medal and not. winning and. not winning gold absolutely.

boy that gotta hurt the floyd no it's so. bad. the judge raised your hand he thought. you had one no. you mean the referee referees yeah raise. your hand. the referee raised my hand because he. thought i won yes. but i'm glad that the fight went like it. went. wow if it did it made me work that much. harder. as a professional not to feel that same. pain. again so you believe. losing that fight was the greatest thing.

that ever happened to floyd mayweather. jr. that was that's that was one of the one. of the. the best things that happened to me one. of the best things one of. yes and um. that same guy. is you know and i feel bad that same guy. that i that i lost to. is now is somewhat homeless yes.

i read that story you know that's crazy. you know i wish nothing but the best. and i i don't know why he didn't become. a boxing trainer. because at that particular time when we. fought he was all he was already old a. lot older. than i was because you know i was. fighting at the elite stage. uh of i was fighting at the elite stage. at 16. and um you know i wanted to turn. professional. at the age of 14. but you know uh it.

never happened. five years later i turned professional. at 19. uh then within a year. a year a little bit over a year or. something i became world champion. and with world champion almost well i. mean somewhat like probably like 20. years. you you you turn pres you turn pro right. after the olympics the olympics in 96. were held in atlanta. you become world champ in 98 you stop. hernandez. so what's going i mean that's that's a.

fast turnaround floyd i mean. normally guys need eight ten twelve. fights. before they even get a title shot and. within since inside of two years. you're world champ well this is the. reason why because i was active. okay i was very very active i told him. um sometimes i would go. um to the promotion com to the promotion. uh uh to the well basically i would go. to top rank which. uh my neighbors it was my promoters okay. i would go to the office i would go to.

the board uh. uh bruce tramplet a guy named bruce. tramplet was. the matchmaker i would go go in there uh. say i'm gonna fight this day they said. floyd you know you're one of our top. fighters and we know you demand. you know uh you know a heavy payday i. said listen. uh uh pay me what you think i deserve. pay me something solid i just want to. stay active because i know where i'm. trying to get to. you know as far as with my career right. they would keep me active.

i think it was it wasn't even a full two. years i fought 17 fights. then i fought for the title. but boxers don't fight like that. immortal floyd i mean you're basically. fighting every every couple of months. you're in the room upset i'm gonna i. should be upset with myself. with what i did to the sport of boxing. right everybody. every fighter now wants i want to floyd. mayweather play that. right you know but i'll put it i put it. in a lot of hard work. right i got you it was it wasn't easy. very very difficult and i.

and i really wasn't crying and. complaining i was just like yo. put me in put them in front of me i'll. beat them to show the world that i'm i. i'm the best. and someday uh i would go down in. history as the best. do you believe they were hesitant to do. that because they knew. they didn't want you to take a nail you. knew you weren't going to take the nail. but sometimes promotion companies they. protect their fighters because they feel. they're protecting them from themselves. um it's crazy.

that the promoter um. bob hamm i can't say these fighters. don't. don't don't see this uh. one minute here say um. uh ali is oh ali is one of the best that. i had. in his dennis mayweather in his pacquiao. and. then his uh uh lomachenko dennis this. guy. i mean boy i mean these these promoters. they kill me i mean.

floyd you did something that no one had. done at that time. you broke with the promotion company and. struck out on your own. how did you come to that decision how. did you say you know what. instead of me fighting for him and him. getting a chunk of this why not i fight. i'm fine. in the ring he ain't taking no blows let. me get all this. let me keep 100 of the revenue yeah um. i can't see how fighters right now and. it's no. there's no it's not like i'm throwing.

shade it's just that if. i accomplish everything that i've. accomplished and i've done everything. that i've done. how can you go to a i mean i look at. guys like. terence crawford right terence crawford. can be a lot bigger than. he is how can you come. you can how can you. make i mean and this shows i mean this. shows that.

racism still exists how can you say that. lomachenko is better than terence. crawford. not at all not in a million years not at. all. are they unsure floyd you were sure. yourself you were sure. you could do it are they unsure do they. not like okay. they're fighting why why haven't more. fighters struck out on their own. it's not really i mean i got loose. because. me as a promoter right now me as a.

promoter. i know what fighters want because i've. been on both ends. right i was a fighter so i know what you. what you're looking for. i know how you need to be i know how you. need to be promoted because. right now right now. jovante tank davis. is one of the most exciting fighters or. if or. is the most exciting fighter in the. sport of boxing right now.

okay who you trying to line him up with. it doesn't matter who we line him up. with. he's exciting he's whoever we put in. front of him he gonna do what he got to. do. and he's and he's still learning and um. i got an. uh uh another fighter that's about to. fight for the title. within a few days uh a fighter uh. that goes by the name of rolly i want. you to check him out. he's another fighter he's he's 11-0 with. 10 knockouts and he's going to fight for.

the world title. he's a heavy hitter also and he's very. very excited. so my job is to put these guys. in position to make a lot of money. and to entertain right. whereas you got to you know a lot of. fighters was fighting on. uh i never actually i never watched uh. the zone he said it's on an app on the. phone. right who asks i believe in putting.

fighters. on television right old school we. believe in putting fighters. on time. or fox or pay-per-view we're gonna we're. gonna build these fighters. and we're gonna continue to take these. fighters to the next level. floyd what people don't realize is that. early your career. and they floyd doesn't have any power. floyd you were stopping people. yes you were stop no no no and and. that's. and and that goes a lot that and i think.

that have a lot to do with how you were. able to ascend so but. you were stopping champions yo i'm not. no run-of-the-mill not no guys that had. five fights. you corrales you carry corrales. well as you as your. career you know this as a football. player right your body break down. as you get older and you still have you. still have to find ways to win. right and that's why. tom brady is such a great quarterback.

because he still he still will find a. way to win. if he say guess what i don't care what. y'all got to do. give me the best line give me the best. protection. i can get the ball to any wide receiver. just give me the best protection. right so far as me i'm still so. mentally strong so i still can find ways. to win even though if my body. when my body broke down i still found. different ways to win. and that's what makes me so great what.

i mean the thing is the way you fought. you fought from a. uh a defensive stance but you were. landing shots and everybody says well. floyd doesn't have any power. i said well if he didn't have any power. why don't people just walk him down. why don't they walk through those. punches if he has no power. why don't people walk him down. you just see um i'm gonna take my head. off to another. you know another hell of a fighter uh a.

guy that i faced. canelo okay this man um. you see um he won the light heavyweight. championship. he didn't beat all these these guys what. they say is. uh you be troubled. he beat a lot of great yeah i can't take. that i can't take it in away from him. but then when you face floyd mayweather. they say and remember. you're at your best when you're younger.

right. young now you go look at a floyd. mayweather. when i was. 21 that's when i got i got fighter of. the year. at 20 right i think i faced canelo he. could have been 23. 22 i don't know what was his age at that. particular time. right but then they say he's. inexperienced but. he had i think when we fought he had. more fights than i did. but that we weren't about this at the at.

the at the elite level. right you had a lot of fights and floyd. we we talked about this earlier. and that's a lot of problem that i get. pushed back and with my co-host. i said you keep saying that he hadn't. thought hell you make excuses. you say de la hoya was old you say god. it was out class. you say canelo was young you make all. these excuses. but he beat him okay so. so when okay so if i'm 20 that's 24. right so if i'm 30 he's 34.

right okay so it's not like. when he was in his 20s i was in my 20s. when mayor oscar fought. we both was in our 30s right when i. fought. manny pacquiao actually i think i'm a. couple years older than pacquiao. correct so i was when i fought pacquiao. i i don't know if i was i could have 38. i was 38 he probably was 36 35. so.

it's always going to be an excuse uh. do i care absolutely not but why why. don't you think. you receive the credit that you deserve. i mean um jealousy. jealousy i speak my mind. i'm not like it's not like. the nfl it's not like the nba.

where a lot of times the players can't. really say. what they want to say right do what they. really want to do right. you're on the team they'll kick you. they'll cut you and then you'll be. out well me myself. like you look at uh uh colin kaepernick. correct when he when he took a stand on. what. he believed in you gotta go right. so a lot of time when these guys take.

certain stairs. you gotta go whereas you can't tell me. i gotta go because at the end of the day. even right now. floyd mayweather is still the face of. boxing without even. competing the reason why i'm the face of. boxing is because of this. every time boxing come on. you don't bring up muhammad ali you. don't bring up. mike tyson name you always bring up. floyd mayweather name. because i'm still the face of boxing but.

what i don't understand though. is that this is what the great the late. emmanuel stewart said about you. when you fought he says quote there have. been very few. mortality than this kid he's going to. win two or three world. titles and he's going to be the best. ever. emmanuel stewart trained holyfield. trained linux lewis. he trained he's trained some of the. great fighters and this is what he said. about an up and coming floyd mayweather. jim lampley says i haven't seen anybody. like this since willy pep.

this is what this is what people that's. been around the sport of boxing. this is what they're saying about floyd. mayweather so i don't understand. why they jealous because i i speak my. mind. i speak from the heart and i speak my. mind is that absolutely not. i at the end of the day i'm happy with. the reason my results because. inside the ring i'm happy with my. results. on the outside because i can say what i.

want to say. right even i i say this to all. athletes right now when you guys. when we're talking about because you. know even though there's a lot going on. correct that the george floyd situation. with the brianna taylor yes no and i. have to take. you know it's so it's so much crazy. stuff going on. rihanna taylor is born and raised. in grand rapids michigan like myself.

okay. you know i know brianna taylor father. you know he actually he's in prison. right now i know her father. now we look on a court right now on the. nba court. right and we see these guys. we see these guys nailing yeah and we. see. black lives black lives matter right. this is what i want to say for the the. athletes. and the entertainers this is what we. need to do.

we need to have different policies come. in as far us. with with these these police officers. how many police interact with us. if there's something that's not done. right. if it's something that's not done right. you guys get the death penalty or you. guys get life. without parole wow if that happens. then guess what then we gonna get some. different results then this will stop. but as long as these guys are just.

getting a slap on the wrist. this will continue to happen so i don't. want these. i don't want the nba to just put that on. the court i don't want the nfl. i don't want these guys just just. kneeling. right do something about this. and if you guys do something like what i. said these guys had the officer. the same officer that did those officers. that did that to george floyd. they deserve life without parole what.

before. floyd can we we're just not starting to. get officers charged. so can we get them charged and get some. conviction before we move to the death. penalty. we i'll be guess what guess what what. happened guardians ain't gonna be number. to slap on the wrist. and they'll be back out and be back with. their families. uh well i agree i agree that because the. police unions are so strong. you see the guy that shot i think his. name was richard brooks in atlanta. he's already suing to get his job back. and because they get slapped as you.

mentioned they get slapped. slapped on the wrist they get to go. right back on the street. they go floyd where can you work at if. you got. 25 30 complaints and keep your job. you kill one two three people and you. keep your job. how. um it's rough. it's rough and it's tough i mean. we we have to come together we have to. come together.

and work together and stop being jealous. of one another. we have to we have to stop worried about. who got the most this then who got the. most debt and uh. who's the best here and who's the best. there and work together as. one we have to we have. that that would be nice but floyd you do. understand. because of the history of america and. the seeds that have been sown the racism. seeds that were planted in 1619. it's kind of hard to have an open and.

honest dialogue because when you start. talking about what transpired. they shifted conversation to chicago. okay. you can cure cancer and you can cure. heart disease i mean why we can't do two. things at once but they only wanted you. to focus on one thing. and it's crazy i was talking about i was. speaking about this last night. about you know the city of chicago. my heart goes out to the city of chicago. um. one of my best friends uh nate jones the.

guy. who wears the bodysuit that i punch when. i'm in training. right we was on the same olympic team uh. we was like i mean we've been best. friends. since he's been one of my best friends. since. 1994 and i used to hang in. the worst projects at that particular. time. for years one of the worst projects in. america. which was cabrini green green green yep.

i mean i've seen a lot of crazy things. throughout my life. just coming up in the inner city hanging. out. uh in chicago uh hanging out in jersey. being in new york. with my family just throughout my life. uh just me myself coming from poverty. we have to stop being jealous of one. another for real i really want to say. this. chicago and even in l.a we gang bang but.

what are we gang banging for. foreign what are we gang-banging for for. what. we got you know they say it always. killed me you're fighting for turk. you're fighting for turf you don't even. own no it's not it's not that. you fight and be like you know this my. block but you're written a house on that. block. exactly you're saying that uh. this our turf and i'll always talk about. this. before you can speak on uh uh turk.

own own a piece of the earth first own. something. before you can say something is yours. right. before you put your money into a diamond. chain. or or a watch own your house own. something first. so i mean you're fighting. and they say that that you know like. even like. i talk about this. we don't call the european.

the europeans that came over uh we don't. call them. european americans so don't call us. african-americans. you know what i'm saying they call us. african-americans when they want to. separate us. or differentiate and like i said before. and separate us. when they want like when i'm competing. for the olympic team. i'm an american correct but then when i. do something that they don't like. or when they want to separate me i'm an. african-american right i can compete on. an african-american olympic team.

i'm an american it's okay if you want to. say he's a he's a black american. but i'm an american at the end of the. day because. most of them most of the the black. americans. that we call african-americans in this. country. don't know nothing about africa or don't. even know what tribe they come from. so when they want to say oh um barack. obama. is the first uh african-american person. no no he's not he i mean he's the first.

black american american that's what i. want to say right. that's how i look at things i mean and. we all look we all. got different views that's just how i. view things. so everybody got their own opinion and. just in life period. i don't let nobody stop my drive. and my will to win just in life i don't. care. like a lot of times everybody oh. donald trump i don't care who's the.

president. that's not going to stop my drive and my. will to win. in life and that's not going to stop me. for teaching my kids just about you know. about life and tell them about. my struggle and tell them about. working hard and surpassing me and. becoming better than me. just in life well floyd i remember a. couple years ago. when gucci came out and they had this. this racist. they had i think the black it was a. sweatshirt or a sweater.

they had the black with the uh uh the. big they had the red lips. and then you you've uh ig'ed yourself in. the gucci store. and you're like i'm not gonna let. anybody dictate to me what i can and. can't wear. explain your decision that went into. like because you know a lot of black. people were upset. with you but like you said you're your. own man so talk to me. talk us through what went into your your. mindset in doing that. i'm i'm wrong for having my own my own. i'm i'm not wrong for having my own. opinion. right i mean because if that's the case.

if you guys want to say i'm gonna stop. wearing gucci. then guess what stop one everything else. because all the all those people run. together. right they're all net they all uh. network and run together as one. i have my own opinion and guess what. i it's it's crazy when you speak about. that. because when you go look at i want.

everybody to go back. and look at when i posted you know when. i. went with the gucci post when i when i. when i post what up. never said nobody named never said a. name right. never called out one particular person. but. my voice is so powerful and when i speak. that it it's very very touchy it hurt it. hurt feelings in certain ways. where like i said before i can't be. broke. no matter i'm saying i can't be broke.

first i'm unbreakable. nobody can get to me nobody can hurt my. spirit because like i said before. i'm i'm i'm i'm a proud black man and i. got the will to win just in life. period so i'm gonna wear whatever i'm. gonna wear whatever. whatever i wanna wear when i want to. and and and how i want to floyd you. mentioned you. you to go back and you're talking about. the gang bang and you say well look. whether you. bang it or not look before you buy.

jewelry but. before you buy cars and before you buy. you know all this expensive stuff. get you a home but floyd they see you. post that stuff they see you with bands. after bands they see you with these. hermes bags they see you with all this. stuff and they say well i wanna i wanna. i wanna drip like like money. get what but i'm dripping in a house. that i own. i'm dripping it every every house that. you see me. i own right so when i whatever i'm. posting. that's the life i'm really living so i'm.

not. i'm not i'm not telling these these. artists. or these artists or these athletes you. shouldn't be able to do nothing right. enjoy. enjoy it that's what you work for you. enjoy it yeah absolutely. i'm not i'm sorry i don't want to move. the camera because she. i know she said she set me the right way. do whatever make you happy okay but i'm. just giving you some pointers. and dropping some jews.

on these athletes and these entertainers. and these celebrities. one thing about me my cars. my homes and in everything that i do. i own so. you can do whatever you want to do but. i'm telling you what i do. you know what i choose to do floyd. i i don't know if you know this but. there's a wide receiver that played in. the nfl i think he played like 13 14.

years brandon marshall. and he says he wants to be heavyweight. champ of the world. do you think there's a realistic chance. that a guy that got into the sport of. boxing. let's say at the age of 35. is he from actually ain't he from vegas. no no not that brandon marshall not that. brandon marshall this brand of marshall. played wide receiver. for the broncos for the dolphins for the. bear this this brandon marshall is from. florida. the wide receiver he's about six for. about 235. well how the heavyweight.

well you know um the happy way division. ain't like it. it was back in the day. it's not it's not the same but even. though it's not the same. do you believe a man that can get into a. sport a combat sport. like the sport of boxing at the age of. 34. 35 and become heavyweight champ with no. proud background. you believe that heavyweight division is. that diluted.

any any anything is possible anything is. possible. if you believe in himself then i mean. you can't knock him but you do know hold. up. andrew joshua is a gold super. heavyweight. olympian gold medalist tyson fury. is six foot nine and a half 255 260. that's skilled and you believe a guy. that has. minimal high security chasing three gun. he's solid he got skills he does.

he's solid he got skills. deontay wilder you didn't mention him. why who deontay wilder. deontay walter he i mean i mean he he. got bombs. i mean that's why you call yourself the. bronze bomb the bronze bomber he got. bombs now. we can't say that but we can we can make. his skills a lot better. well have you reached out about training. him do you believe you could train him. and get him to be a fury get him to be. the anthony joshua. do you believe he has the skills i know.

he has the raw. power but does he have the skills fury. is skilled. joshua is skilled they're technically. sound. boxers but one shotgun what when. shocking. one equalizer can in you know in the. fight. yeah um. only thing he need is the basic fun. fundamentals and i could do the rest. i could do the rest but floyd what you. could do. is you could walk people into punches. and that would be coming up.

i can't walk people into punches because. remember i'm a defensive wizard. man stop stop i don't want you to. punches. no you walk people in the punches you. know that because you catch them. they follow you around the ring and take. a beating i remember the. uh the baltimore fight the dude threw. almost 700 punches and landed 79. how's somebody throw 700 punches in lane. 79. um you landed 244. out of 400.

um i can't yeah yeah. i can help him i can i can really help. him all he got to do is. i mean i mean he's with the i mean. deontay water is with us anyway. he's without him in any way right. because you just get uh uh floyd here's. the thing i mean i look at buddy mcgirt. buddy. turned into a great trainer um there. there's some. virgil heal i mean there have been some. there's some guys that fought that were.

good fight that would that were great. fighters in the in their day and time. and their weight. you're arguably the best you're one of. the top two or three fighters i mean. someone said you're the the first or. second best fighter of the 21st century. why wouldn't guys come to try to pick. your brain. get that knowledge from floyd mayweather. i'm here i'm here to help fighters so. even like deontay water. i'm here all you got to do is let me. know uh let me know what you want to do. and we can we can make it happen. i'm here to help fighters you caught a.

lot of flag. you said your top five fighters who are. floyd mayweather's top five fighters. now you can go your weight cl you're. smaller guys or you can go ahead. you just yeah i forgot last week like i. told you before every week is different. who was my last fight who was my father. okay i know you. first of all you left ali and you left. ray robinson out that's why you got the. flag whoever else you put in there is. unimportant. you left those two guys out at the. end of the day floyd mayweather is not a.

follower. i have my own opinion this is my this is. my opinion. right it's what i think. and there's a reason why if there's. always a reason why. you know and i would love to always. i would always love sugar ray robinson. because. he paved the way for muhammad ali right. you know i will always love muhammad ali. because he paved the way for for a.

sugar ray winner correct and then sugar. ray leonard paved the way for. a guy like a a mike tyson and and. and so forth and so on that's like. that's how you go. we all paved the way and and we all got. we all. we all care and love one another but. my opinion and what i think is my. opinion and what i think. well floyd you can understand ray. robinson have 175 wins. 109 knockouts he lost 19 he draws six.

times. hot and and one uh belts over. numerous classes i'm leaving go ahead. what's numerous because when you say. numerous i think about. i think about manny pacquiao and floyd. mayweather when you say rumors. uh i would say three did he win five. like you he ate like pacquiao no. no no okay but floyd the guy but. but here's the thing when i look at a. guy when i look at.

and because your soul head and shoulders. above everybody that you fought in your. heart. when we say this we will come on record. and say this out of all these guys. in a history of boxing yes i've. accomplished more than every fighter in. the history of boxing. you mean you mean as far as when as far. as undefeated as far as built as far as. prize money i mean you. you you tell me and i'll tell you and i. and i'll say. uh and i'll tell you why tell me. something i'll tell you why well the. only guy that retired uh.

under that was undefeated that was that. hadn't tasted defeat when he retired. was rocky marciano okay so go ahead. how many worlds champions have rocky. marciano be. i would say probably what archie moore. of the joe lewis maybe. maybe three four high-end. so so we already know. i'll be i i beat more i beat more. champions that's going. in the hall of fame then he'd be the.

then he'd be in this career period so we. already so we're going we're going to. we're going to exit more bye. we got rocky mountain off there so if he. 49 00 and i'm 50 you know. okay so he 49 i'm 50 you know which that. even if. even if we both were still 49 and uh. we're talking about the accomplishments. so we know i accomplished more than he. did. go to another guy but floyd here's the. thing i don't want to hear. let's go okay you want another okay uh.

another guy okay ali. is ali the same fighter that got beat by. a fighter with seven fights. leon stinks beat muhammad ali when he. only had seven fights. yes and and if we really tell the truth. and we if we really tell the truth we'll. tell that what you're here for you're. here to tell the truth. uh what's the heavyweight guy. that ali fought three times ken norton.

actually norton. can not really be olly all three times. go back and look at the fights. i mean we just tell them the truth and. and i love ali of course. next let's go but floyd here's the thing. i don't want to hear it next let's go i. floyd. you're 49 to know i mean you're 50 you. know you. what you what you want different weight. classes. give me give me another fight come on. let's go because everybody else has a.

defeat. that's the jordan argument because. jordan hadn't had any defeats in the. finals. you know what i got i got one for you. you just said sugary robinson right. yes you had what he had 180 200 fights. he was 175. 19 and six and i still beat more world. champions than him so talk to me. okay roy jones roy jones roy jones jr. still beat more world champions than roy. jones. and roy and i take my hair out to roy. jones. but you did you know see.

roy i always said this roy jones love. roy jones. roy jones and muhammad ali. is the same fighter they defense. is their legs when they came when they. was young they were young. and at the top of the game they could. move. once their legs went away then they was. they sat and done a rope-a-dope right. whereas. that's why the mayweather defense and i. don't want to hear nobody call it the.

philly ship. it's the mayweather defense because like. i said before. i mastered it once you master it it's. mine now you took it over. oh okay okay i know a guy that had. defense very comparable to yours and you. know where i'm going with this and now. with it. oh sweet pea that he was sweet now come. on come on floyd now get that man to do. is he what are you in my top five yeah. huh yes okay then. okay then he was he was special i bought. i boxed him when i was on.

a boxing when i was like 17 or 18. i think i bought like 18 i brought like. 18 and 17 when i boxed them. okay obviously in your top five you got. sweet pea. uh pernell whitaker you got floyd. mayweather. of course i got to be in everybody top. five i have to be in everybody type up. okay who else i have. uh. i cannot believe i i mean i'm just.

baffled that you don't have ali and you. don't have ray robinson. i don't i i know you don't uh. i'm trying to think who who knows. you like durant you talk about you know. right first you know sugary land. the first loss came from. uh lightweight i know okay so you got to. respect that so roberto duran went from. i think lightweight lightweight to. waterweight. to to i think to middleweight to 168.

so i think he went to four he went. somewhere like four-way glass two yeah. i think he i think he fought yeah 160 he. fought hagley at 160 i think. and you know he won world titles in all. the way. and i mean he got uh and. you see he was uh i think he went to. like four or five. he was like four or five oh duran duran. had dynamite so what about marvin hagler. but that was the golden er that that was. okay okay. give me your golden era boxing then.

explain like what do you i mean the best. the best era of. boxing in the history of the sport was. what a decade said maybe the 70s. maybe you like the 80s or the 90s maybe. you like when you fall. you can't you can't really you the. golden area had to be the 80s. i do see yeah it was special those guys. you had tommy you had tommy hearns. marvin hagler roberto duran sugar ray. leonard but whatever you can leave it on. larry home. i was just gonna get to him larry home.

larry doesn't larry doesn't get a whole. lot of credit i know larry holmes gets. the credit that he deserves. i have no idea cause that jab. why if you tell me you the boxing expert. why doesn't larry holmes get ready. it's crazy that i be hearing all these. quote-unquote. so-called boxing experts and i've been. doing this i've been. i i know about the sport from. from the beginning uh to now.

you know is it is it because if we look. at all that i mean ali fault as you. mentioned he fought ken norton three. times. he fought joe frazier he fought joe. frazier he fought uh. joyful i want to say this okay. ali will always be a pioneer. because of what he stood for. you know in that era okay. and i commend him for that and i would.

have done this. done the same thing if i was in that era. he done what he's supposed to do in that. era. whereas i think in that era still. we were more we we would stick together. we as. we would stick together because you will. see muhammad ali. with will chamberlain mm-hmm and you. know and. you remember the summit that they had in. 67 with ali with ali. ali with will chamberlain uh jim brown.

uh no it was over with three and three. bill russell. i'm not saying that i don't want to i. don't mind. us coming together as one me and. different athletes. and entertainers us coming together as. one. and and building and growing as one i. don't mind. but so many of us the jealousy. i guess there's so much jealousy going. on now like i said. you you're talking about in in within.

the black community or you're talking. about boxing specifically. i'm talking about within i'm not within. just. our community yes why. don't you wouldn't don't you think we. should be happy that we see. one of ours make it ascend to the top. shouldn't we. we we applaud that instead of trying to. tear that person down. absolutely you look. i mean it's just it's i mean. so so many different things going.

through my mind it's it's crazy. floyd hold on hey i just got i just got. this card handed to me. floyd's top five floyd mayweather. pernell whitaker. roberto duran larry holmes and the. cincinnati cyclone the hulk. aaron pryor who's. but i ain't really got to say myself. cause y'all listen. you you ain't gotta put me on the top. five cause everybody already know i'm on. the top five okay so. put me on that so in other words we.

gotta come up with four cause you're. gonna be at everybody's top five. got to be i could be. but aaron prior aaron pryor. um he did carry alexis arguelle no. that's who. that's who sugar ray leonardo knows. that's who that's what sugar ray linda. was ducking. man sugar ray wasn't there no aaron. pride man sugar ray would carry their. pride you better do your homework see. that's what you don't know. the behind the scenes stuff and you know.

i love. and i love and i love sugar right now. but uh. did you hold on aaron pryor did not have. dynamite in his hands. like hitman hearns and he carried hitman. hearn. the reason why tommy hearns. didn't go to the olympics was because he. got beat by who. aaron prior man although. you do know hollow amateur like you said. the guy that beat you in the olympics. is now living on a pension making.

getting 434. 35 a month so you floyd don't do that. you. know olympic boxing pro fighting is. different. say it again i say you know olympic. style boxing. is different than pro fighting because. as you said it's a point system. and a lot of times you know things get. missed so the guy that beat you in the. olympics. because the scoring system when i was. fighting and when the score system went. uh the guys from the 80s was fighting.

is totally different actually that was. the 70 that was the. 76 olympic team yeah yes so the reason. why. tommy hearns didn't go to the olympics. was because he got beat by. aaron prior yes but i get i get that but. i'm saying. uh olympic boxing and pro boxing is. something entirely different. you can be a great you can be a great. olympian and not a great player. defeated as a professional. do you believe aaron brown could have a.

pro do you believe aaron prior could. have beat tommy hearns. as a pro anything can happen man don't. do that floyd no i know anything can. happen we put man on the moon. i ask you a simple question a simple yes. or a simple note do you believe the hulk. aaron pryor could have beat tommy hearns. as a pro. absolutely man you ought to be ashamed. of you. because because of the pressure because. the hulk keep the pressure. and they stay on you and one thing about. even like when sugar ray leonard.

when sugary leonard beat tommy harris. when he beat him what was that 81 to 80. 81. okay so like i said before you know i. know this sport. he he beat him with him he beat him. because of the pressure. he walked out with pressure he was a. fatigue fighter. he beat him with pressure yeah he i i. didn't i didn't. i took shoe ray but i was worried. because i've seen. because i i knew the kind of the kind of. dynamite that tommy hearns had in that.

right hand. one of my favorite fighters what about. what what about marvin hagler. i can remember when tommy harris picked. me up when i was five years old. one of my one of my favorite fighters. when it was hard in that air. it was hard because i ran barkley. no because of the three in that area. because of the three. it was hard for me i i i love marvin. hagler. i love sugar ray leonard and i love. tommy harris. so when those when they fight against.

each other i didn't really know who i. wanted. i didn't know who i wanted to pick and. duran and duran was in the 80s. he was but i'm talking about it oh out. of those three guys. even you could put duran because he was. a part of that. that fabulous sport right these are part. of the fabulous four. but tommy hines sugar ray leonard. uh marvin hagler when they fought i. hated that they had to fight each other. so when so when i look at the sugary. litter fight.

in the haggler fight some some days i. say. leonard won some days i say hack with. one right. floyd mayweather in his prime he's. fighting margaret marvin haggling his. prime. sugar ray and his prime hearns and his. prime duran and his prime. who wins i got to tell you how you i got. to tell you how. i i will fight these guys so you tell my. how i would fight. uh sugar ray leonard sugar. cigarette leonard got a lot of speed.

but sugary. when when cigarette leonard beat my my. father when he beat my dad. my dad went into the fight. with a with a messed up hand but you. know. you know even though he had a messed up. hand you still got to put food on the. table. right so how i would approach. the sugar ray leonard fight i come out. and fill him up.

you know the thing is this we know he. got he got speed and i got speed. okay right but you don't got timing. like me there's a difference he don't. got timing like floyd mayweather. right and sugary leonard. i'm a counter puncher also i could be a. counter puncher. right i'm versatile all around the board. to whereas do i think it'd be a very. a a very exciting fight absolutely but i.

think that. his shots his punches come too wide. i'm sure everything's short short. whereas. spanish fighters is more go go more with. wider shots. right ray leonard super fast. fighter. super good super good uh crazy leg. movement. uh how you how do you fight how do you. fight uh marvin haglin. uh marvin hagler don't he's not on a.

pivot. he's not he's not on the pivot he's not. gonna pivot so what i what i use. is i all i use is a is is a is a range. fight a range fighter. in in uh different shots. because marvin had marvin hamlet kind of. remind me of a miguel cotto. so you know what i do is um. he does a lot marvin hagler did a lot of. this and. miguel cotto is more like this too none. like this.

and pacquiao he does it in a fast way. like this. so he does well that's what got pacquiao. got knocked out but pacquiao is always. on rhythm and marquez caught it. he timed it because pacquiao does he. loves a lot of different throws. and marquez time in inches. and timing is is very important yes. anything even like in football yeah as. well as basketball anything in life. it's about timing in inches so. uh uh martha hagler um.

tough tough okay. what about your top five guy roberto. duran how you fighting him. uh huh i gotta be at my best. but i got to be at my best. you got the ultimate respect for the. ring because because that man is tough. that men come from lightweight and he. come up and fight marvin hagler. he fight them all and he was world. champion all of those different weight. classes. that's not easy i'm a fighter i know it.

was easy for me. well floyd hold on floyd you came up. from what you came up with what from 130. to 150. actually actually. i was fighting in olympia i was fighting. 125. at 57 kilograms which international. is 125 and a half but. if you fight in the u.s it's 125. so. it's safe to say. i was fighting at 125 went to 130.

135 140 40 147 147 and 150 before. yeah i wouldn't for a triple g but i i. never even made i never even weighed 154. pounds. when i was fighting right so even yeah. because when you. even when you you you way under when you. fought uh when you fought de la hoya. yes wow. so let's transit let's go to. i you love you love sports you love all. sports. yes football.

give me your top five players in. football um. i have to well that's kind of tough but. i got. i have to go jerry rice that's right. you're right. okay how to go jerry rice and he don't. get the props that he deserves. okay um i gotta go i gotta go brady okay. um even even peyton manning. i gotta go pay money but you can we go.

quarterbacks a lot. peyton manning did a lot of. record-breaking things yeah. you like the quarterbacks you you're not. going to take a defensive player you're. not going to take dion sanders lawrence. taylor. you're not going to take any defensive. players we we we got we got to go launch. state of that moment. like i said it's really hard i mean i. okay. i mean it's tough because it's. any given night in any given night. anybody can be great.

in those sports in boxing you i had to. be great every night. because that's one on one right because. yeah what makes boxing so tough there. are basically there are no timeouts you. can't say well hey let me call the. timeout and let. you get coached in your corner for a. minute and then you can't be off. if i'm off i could have a teammate have. an outstanding game that can cover up. for me. you off you catch the l. so i mean you got emma smith. you got uh walter payton you got barry.

sanders so. you can't put me you can't put me you. got to say. you got to say what's your favorite 15. and that tim. without your favorite fun okay oh i got. one for you says you love sports you. love the hoop. we've been seeing you you play little. basketball lebron james or michael. jordan. i think the eric let me say this okay. i'm gonna give you the break now okay.

okay. i love lebron right yeah. but one thing about michael jordan he. gonna come out there. every night to try to kill you. every night right lebron be seeming like. he's kind of playing kind of. nonchalant sometimes which i don't like. but michael i mean lebron james.

i i'm gonna i'm gonna choose. if they played against each other lebron. james two is too big and strong and too. fast. but if i had to choose one i'm gonna. choose michael jordan. because the reason why is because i i. gotta go with somebody. that's gonna go out there and give it. they all every night. well maybe lebron maybe lebron is giving. it his all he just making it look easy. making it look nice no it's not.

would you be hold on hold on floyd. that's what people said about you. you made it look so easy that you make. it seem like you wasn't even like you. were fighting bombs. no it's not that because i told them. there's a difference there's a. difference between being. talented and god gifted right you know. i'm god gifted so. at the end of the day this is the reason. why. every time might go out there every time. lebron. when the clock is ticking lebron don't. supposed to pass it. he's supposed to shoot and that's how yo.

you got to make the right play guess. what. what lebron james is selling shoes. not because he's passing the ball. because he's going for it because he's. supposed to go for the kill. man look here the average seat floyd. this is what see this is where you and i. and a lot of people disagree. okay we we're gonna we gonna agree to. disagree. come on let's talk let's talk about this. come on okay i want. because i believe if you make the right. play.

the right play if okay so if i could. pass the ball to a guy. you remember that double nickel game. michael jordan i think it was like five. or six days after he came back out of. retirement. he had a double nickel game he had it. going. but the game-winning shot came on a path. for michael. and william i just seen michael jordan. pass it to steve kirk. i'm not saying i'm not saying lebron got. to take every shot. yeah i ain't saying you got to be a kobe. bryant i said you got to take. every shot but it's it's certainly i.

mean. i like to see i'd rather play with uh uh. drop even if you ain't. if you don't feel like you're gonna make. it at least. attack the basket at least because we. know you're super strong. right but um. but i i mean that's just me i got the. killer instinct in me. that's why that's why i'm 50 i'm 50 you. know for a reason and. even right right like right now they got. a fighter that's over in asia that's 54.

no. and they said oh this is a new tbe. because he about to retire. i said oh y'all tell me about this. fighter that fought one world champion. and he's 54 know right now and he. retired at 54.00 it only beat one world. champion. and this is what you're trying to call. tde i said okay. y'all some comedians. [Laughter]. yeah okay let me ask you this what. basketball player or football player you. think. currently playing would have been a.

great boxer. jimmy butler uh. jimmy jimmy uh jimmy butler probably. could jimmy butler probably be a good a. good boxer. lebron james lebron jacob would have. been a good boxer. why could he talk no no no he couldn't. be a good boxer just. his excuse you just said he didn't have. to kill anything now you talk about he. gonna be a good boxer. but guess what what every fighter don't. gotta kill killer interesting they don't. mean any.

champions oh so now now you won't flip. that because jordan had to kill an. instinct that's why you gonna take him. over lebron. but now you don't really need that in. boxing because you could still be a. champion you said who i said there can. be a. good fighter you didn't say everybody. could be a world champion i want to know. who. i believe hold on. you said be a good you said good be a. good a a good boxer. okay a champion fighter who could be a. champion fighter not nothing see now you. now i'm telling you you just switched up. on me.

first you just said be a boxer that. you're right i said who can because. anybody could be a boxer but i'm gonna. be a champion. um. i mean they got so many they got so many. um. i say charles oakley. [Laughter]. ugly tough yeah that's that's really. that's michael jordan low key security. for real. this is low key run.

run our test two yeah oakley roughly. oakley. and ron our test. and ben wallace so we got some boys that. can go a little bit. what about football players a lot of. them. [Laughter]. a lot of people another football player. floyd that's what i tell i said you. don't understand the difference between. mindset between a football player and a. basketball player. it is totally different yeah man it's. just um.

see if i would if lebron was hanging. around me. if lebron lebron you're supposed to be. hanging around me from the beginning if. you think about me from the beginning. may your mentality be totally different. you believe so you believe you robbed. albany. if if he even with me his mentality just. be totally different. i i i your mental be when you get with. me when athlete get with me. your mental is just totally different. even like um isaiah thomas. yeah isaiah thomas was playing when he.

was when he was communicating with me. every day. he's hanging with me every day he got. the starting job. in the nba and he went to the all-star. game right once he stopped kicking on me. and hanging with me and listening to me. things kind of changed. and why you got to stick with me he got. hurt boy. huh he got hurt still we can get through. that i've been i've been broken up i've. been broken up all through my career. and i got through it i know to get floyd. you floyd your hands. your hands were you had some your hands.

were a little brittle but that was it. man bro you know come on man i've been. through a lot more than that. i know you told you wrote you told your. rotator cuff once right again uh. after the castile fight well before the. castile fight. and you caught you fought castile twice. yeah. i'm still ready come back. let me ask you a question would you. would you fight conor mcgregor again. oh man you know i gotta i got it i easy. 300 million absolutely.

so would you fight would you fight him. different or you fight him the same way. same way same results. so in other words you're going to drag. him to the deep and drown him because. that's what you did. that's what i'm gonna do you know. i bet dana white i bet dana white some. high-end liquor. that connor couldn't knock you out. because he said connor because you see. conor knocking people out with those. four-ounce gloves. i said but he don't know how to punch a.

boxing glove i said watch floyd walk. through it. it is okay for me to eat yeah go away. okay. um then white good guy good dude i've. been doing that. white 20 24 years. and this year. um me and dana white or next year. me and dana white will do um some big. business. um soon.

so this year or next year. so you would so you would fight conor. let me ask you a question. is there any boxer that you would fight. say for 150 million not enough. absolutely not 150 million ain't enough. my health is more important conor. mcgregor can't punch. he can't punch blood i knew he could. knock you out when he hit you flush with. that uppercut. and you walked through it you never saw.

that punch. normally it's the punches you don't see. to get you out of there he hit your. flush and you walk through it i don't. remember it. i'm having fun i'm like i was like oh. man this dude is so soft i said it's. cool. blog it seemed like you were. because they panned the camera on you. and you turned and smiled at the camera. do you remember that. when i was in the corner yeah you know. why i remember that. why because i didn't take no punishment.

i still got all my faculties. so that was so great about my career so. why would i go out there and fight these. these young fighters these young lions. and risk. my health right you know you look at my. uncle roger. you look at muhammad ali you look at. these different fighters you're like. i just said on the beginning in the. beginning when we first started talking. your health is your wealth right so as. far as me going out there. competing against a guy like conor. mcgregor uh.

uh oh absolutely or a guy. that's really inexperienced and picky. huh you fight khabib or absolutely. you know those are 300 million dollar. fights see. you have to make it make sense right. real sense. make dollars and makes sense huh if it. make dollars it makes sense. certain type of dollars because i need. to be able to have. my faculties also right and still be. sharp. still be able to you know be agile hang.

out. you know with my kids uh still make. smart investments. all those type of things are very. important and play a major major part. in my life so. oh you need to fight this guy you need. to fight that guy listen for what. it is it's called it's called. uh errors for a reason i had i had my. time i had my hair. so it's it's these young fighters era. now. so but it's okay for me to go fight a.

khabib or a connor and pick up. with those two fights alone i could pick. up 600 million. so that don't hurt to fight guys that. that uh just to entertain or. entertainment but conor said conor say. he knows what he did wrong he knows what. he can do. he said he you know you know he know. what he did wrong but he also know what. he did right. what he did wrong is get in the ring. with me. was getting in the ring with me first he. can get a big payday.

so you willing to fight do you have have. you and connor had any conversation. no i don't like him i don't like him at. all at all. this this interview was two years in the. making i bumped into you at michael. jordan's par. uh uh uh all-star game party in 2018. and i asked you and you was like nah he. said but you told me. if you ever do your own thing i got you. i'm here your executive sister. i've known him for two decades kitchen i.

reached out to her. i said ask floyd when he come on my. podcast she called me the next day. floyd said he got you i but i apologize. until two years but i'm here. well it took me two minutes to the. podcast. no matter how long it took i'm here you. here you you hey you're a man of your. word bro you told me you got me. you got me and i appreciate that thank. you. we talked about this earlier we touched. on it i offered you my condolences. uh uh to roger and you and the mother of.

your children. let's talk about roger because roger was. more than an uncle. roger you you guys almost had a. relationship like. like brothers and then at the time your. father was away. he served as that father figure um. he was like a father he was like a. father. a brother a uncle he been through a lot. like he went with a lot of ups and downs. small garage.

it's like the last couple years. you know roger wasn't the same. but i never wanted to come out publicly. right and say that i knew he was going. to pass away. in in due time it's just when i when i. think about this. and um it hurts. it hurts just when i just talk about it. um love him so much. you gotta uh you know i'm still gonna be. there for his children.

as as um as a father figure for his. children. because his son is so young and his. daughter. this is so young you know um. that i mean great i got enough. i got an opportunity when we were. promoting uh the fight. the your fight with conor mcgregor we. had your father on a couple of times. yeah i have pops do it um. like i said before he's my dad's going.
