00:00:53.340 Yes.
00:00:54.280 Some of the biggest fights ever were here.
00:00:56.880 You and Pacquiao, you and Oscar, you and, I think, Cotto.
00:01:00.560 I think you and, am I saying it, Corral Ortiz?
00:01:03.400 A lot of record-breaking fights were held in this arena.
00:01:09.480 And out of the ten biggest fights in history, six fights was Floyd Mayweather fights.
00:01:16.660 Out of the ten biggest fights in history, six of them was you.
00:01:19.740 Yes, but I couldn't do it without the fans and the people.
00:01:22.660 I love it. That's amazing.
00:01:24.180 and and so floyd your your story there's so many different angles i want to go on you know i had a
00:01:30.060 short time to prepare for it but i know your story i know what you've done so i've been looking
00:01:33.820 forward to this for a while um so i i think the biggest thing when i think about you know we got
00:01:40.660 to go through business your boxing career family other things that you've been doing maybe let's
00:01:45.280 start off with the first thing here one day you know you come out and you buy out your contract
00:01:53.140 something that's never been done before
00:01:55.460 you come out and you pay $7.50
00:01:57.400 to decide to own your own thing
00:01:59.780 and you were always calling everybody
00:02:01.400 you would say you go talk to your agent
00:02:03.460 you go talk to your manager 0.90
00:02:04.620 you go talk to Aram
00:02:05.740 you go talk to this 0.99
00:02:06.580 I don't need to talk to anybody
00:02:08.120 what got you to make that business decision?
00:02:11.820 Well you know each and every day
00:02:14.000 you know when I was in the sport of boxing
00:02:16.700 you know I would take my time and study
00:02:19.860 not just what was going on inside the ring
00:02:22.860 but economics far as outside the rank like well who's getting the extra money for the merchandise
00:02:28.860 and who's getting all the money for the tickets and so eventually one thing led to another
00:02:34.080 and um i told the promoter i said let's become partners he said no so finally when i had the
00:02:42.140 chance to become my own boss um they had me in a headlock then i said what would it take for me to
00:02:49.060 become my own boss and let me become my own promoter. And they said $750,000. That's the
00:02:56.340 best $750,000 I ever spent. That's it? That was it. Why did they only, I would have never given
00:03:01.900 you up for only $700,000. Well, they didn't own me now. You know, this is, but could they have
00:03:06.980 said seven and a half? No one owns, no one owns no one. They had me in a contract and my contract
00:03:14.040 had came to an end, but they still had options on me.
00:03:18.380 So I took it upon myself, wrote the check for $750,000.
00:03:23.320 And when I left the company in three fights,
00:03:27.620 I think McGregor, Pacquiao, and Canelo, I made $750 million.
00:03:33.640 Okay, when I sell my business,
00:03:36.160 I want the best tax and investment advice.
00:03:38.340 I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community.
00:03:41.500 Ooh.
00:03:41.720 Then, it's the vacation of a lifetime.
00:03:45.860 I wonder if my out-of-office has a forever setting.
00:03:49.300 An IG Private Wealth Advisor creates the clarity you need with plans that harmonize your business, your family, and your dreams.
00:03:57.040 Get financial advice that puts you at the center.
00:04:00.020 Find your advisor at IGPrivateWealth.com.
00:04:02.720 Okay. So let me flip it on you. Now that you're in the business of having fighters,
00:04:16.340 if you were on the other side and one of the guys came up to you offering 750 and that guy's name
00:04:22.020 is Floyd Mayweather, would you have taken his check? I'll let him loose. I don't want to hold
00:04:25.920 nobody hostage. I truly believe in letting people go out there, explore the world so they can
00:04:32.700 accomplish and and do the things that they want to do if you want to be free i mean i can have
00:04:39.080 two or three hundred fighters if they all want to leave let them leave because i know how to fish
00:04:43.800 and i know how to climb got it so so you so your your linchpin would be you want to go work with
00:04:50.820 somebody else good luck i know what i'm capable of doing go anywhere you want to go to i'm not
00:04:54.220 worried about it that's the mindset for you my mindset is if you believe in something go for it
00:04:59.280 If you believe that you can be better somewhere else or you can accomplish more being by yourself or being independent, go for it.
00:05:10.760 People would always criticize you saying, you know, he's not that smart.
00:05:15.540 He's not this.
00:05:16.140 He's not that.
00:05:16.580 You would hear the people that would say in the marketplace.
00:05:19.060 But there's no way in the world somebody makes a business decision like this and they don't know what they're doing.
00:05:23.700 Was somebody in your ear?
00:05:25.120 Was somebody mentoring you?
00:05:26.340 Was it truly your own decision?
00:05:27.740 Well, a lot of times what these people tend to hear certain stories, like as of lately, we have con artists and thieves in all type of business.
00:05:37.680 Of course.
00:05:38.100 That comes with the territory.
00:05:39.800 Now, have I dealt with that throughout my career?
00:05:42.300 Absolutely.
00:05:43.460 But remember, I always tell people the best thing about myself and the best thing about my life is I was born poor.
00:05:50.780 I was born broke.
00:05:52.060 So I was able to work myself from nothing to something.
00:05:56.080 So if I go all the way to the top, if I go all the way to the top,
00:06:00.520 and once you go to the top, I can go all the way to the bottom, but I can go back to the top.
00:06:09.500 You know why?
00:06:10.180 Because I started at the bottom and I know how to climb.
00:06:12.280 Got it.
00:06:12.920 So as long as I know how to climb, I will always be okay.
00:06:16.360 So then let me ask a question for you.
00:06:18.020 To increase your identity, did you ever flirt with the idea of being a little bit reckless with your money?
00:06:24.680 because you're like, I don't mind going to the bottom
00:06:26.440 because I've been there before?
00:06:27.580 Or did you make a new floor that you're like,
00:06:30.180 I will never drop below this number?
00:06:33.660 Well, life is really short.
00:06:35.440 A lot of times we think life is long.
00:06:38.360 Life is really short.
00:06:40.380 And we can never tell no one how to live life.
00:06:46.120 We live life the way we want to live it.
00:06:48.120 And so I can be here today and go on tomorrow.
00:06:50.860 But one thing I can say,
00:06:52.200 I live my life the way I wanted to live it.
00:06:54.060 So, do I like to have fun, you know, with my funds when I make money?
00:06:59.280 Of course, but I also make my money work for me. 0.98
00:07:05.100 So, you know, things happen, shit happens. 0.89
