00:00:00.000 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 flippin' year.
00:00:10.380 You make the industry a lot of money. Is there a Floyd Mayweather right now in boxing?
00:00:15.560 Um, not yet, but my grandson could be the next Floyd Mayweather. My grandson is boxing every day.
00:00:25.340 Stop. Yes.
00:00:26.360 How old is he?
00:00:27.280 He's five.
00:00:30.000 You're not joking.
00:00:31.000 No, I'm not joking at all.
00:00:33.000 So at five years old, you think he has what it takes to be like you one day?
00:00:36.700 My daughter makes sure her son goes to the boxing gym every day.
00:00:40.220 Stop.
00:00:41.320 He goes to school, then he goes to his second school.
00:00:44.520 For how long does he go at five years old to his second school?
00:00:47.500 A couple hours, two hours.
00:00:49.560 So what do you train?
00:00:51.340 Do you train him or are you working with him or who works with him?
00:00:53.800 Well, right now, I'm just letting him.
00:00:55.380 He don't want to listen.
00:00:57.580 He want to do it.
00:00:58.180 All he want to do is spar.
00:00:59.500 All he want to do is spar, but I'm telling him every day,
00:01:02.420 you have to learn the techniques about boxing.
00:01:05.340 But all he want to do is just spar.
00:01:08.080 He want to box everybody in the gym.
00:01:11.060 Do you say that because you see something in him that you're a member of yourself?
00:01:15.260 He's super, super, super smart, intelligent.
00:01:20.300 And if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change nothing
00:01:23.960 because I wouldn't be able to get that same grandson.
00:01:27.200 Wow.
00:01:27.600 Wow. So that's my pride and joy in life. And I will always stand on this.
00:01:38.300 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.

00:01:57.600 just being just being able to um get up and work out um being able to jog run work out
00:02:08.080 play with my grandson and just travel the world and live life so just being free just being free
00:02:14.940 absolutely yes wow being free greatest accomplishment yep five years old i would
00:02:21.100 have never guessed you're gonna say five year old so at five years old you're thinking this kid can
00:02:24.740 We have kids every day in the gym that we help, that we push, just like Floyd Mayweather.
00:02:32.800 If we're looking for the next Floyd Mayweather, we can't start him off at 16.
00:02:36.380 You got to start him off from the beginning.
00:02:38.880 The only reason why I'm where I'm at is because my dad basically pushed me to be a fighter.
00:02:44.120 At what age?
00:02:45.100 My whole life.
00:02:46.340 What age? How early?
00:02:48.620 From, what, one, two years old.
00:02:51.320 I was in the gym every day.
00:02:53.440 From one, two years old, you're in the gym every day?
00:02:55.660 Every day.
00:02:57.660 Yes.
00:03:00.560 Folks, we're screwing up.
00:03:02.800 Can you imagine?
00:03:03.380 I mean, it's no different from if they want to,
00:03:05.300 whatever you want your children to be in life,
00:03:08.100 you have to start them off early.
00:03:10.120 Even if they don't want to do it.
00:03:11.900 I'm glad my dad pushed me to become a fighter.
00:03:15.880 I'm glad.
00:03:16.860 That's the best thing.
00:03:17.680 That's the best thing in my life that my dad did for me.
00:03:20.180 That's why he's the best.
00:03:21.340 Did he ever push you away from boxing or no?
00:03:23.700 No.
00:03:24.180 How did he sell you how amazing the sport is?
00:03:26.920 He didn't sell it to me.
00:03:28.620 He would go every day.
00:03:30.420 He would take me with him.
00:03:32.280 Once he'd take me with him, eventually, by the time I was 14, I was ready to turn pro at 14 years old.
00:03:41.240 14 years old.
00:03:41.860 At 14, yes.
00:03:43.280 You and him had a lot of conflicts over the years.
00:03:45.400 Some of them were public.
00:03:46.620 And you guys would go back and forth.
00:03:48.940 How did you manage that?
00:03:50.060 How did that, you know, and was it your way of saying, I know what I'm doing?
00:03:53.680 What were the conflicts about?
00:03:55.220 The conflicts was my dad went to prison.
00:03:57.780 My dad went to prison when I was 16.
00:04:01.760 When my dad came back into my life, I was 21.
00:04:05.860 So I had my own house, my own car, my own everything.
00:04:11.180 And me and my dad would agree to disagree on certain things.
00:04:15.800 the same the same vision I had when I was 16 is totally different from when I'm 21 I'm on my own
00:04:24.660 and I already I'm already living my life I'm already traveling the world doing certain things
00:04:29.960 so I wasn't against what my father was telling me but um we would just bump heads but at the end of
00:04:36.460 the day whatever I had to say about my dad in the past I apologize I come on record and apologize
00:04:42.980 to the world and say, I apologize.
00:04:46.020 My dad is the best man I've ever known.
