00:00:00.000 $750 million in three fights that you've had, right?
00:00:03.280 What is the most money you've made out of boxing on a business deal?
00:00:08.800 Well, you know, I was working at one particular time.
00:00:12.440 I was in real estate doing the skyscrapers.
00:00:16.020 After the skyscrapers, then eventually I moved over to apartments.
00:00:21.440 So right now I'm working, we're doing some big deals in real estate.
00:00:26.500 So mainly right now, the main income is real estate.
00:00:29.380 today today that's the main income that you have yes okay and you you know when you get the money
00:00:35.360 that comes to you in a big way what did what what philosophies did you have for you not to lose the
00:00:40.880 money that comes what did you do did you say hey for every 100 million that i make i'm gonna put
00:00:45.840 20 of it here i'm gonna put 40 of it here did you have any of those rules that you you you followed
00:00:50.180 well my my rule for everyone in this room is always to put half up no matter what always put
00:00:57.540 half up so if it's a hundred dollars put fifty dollars up if it's two hundred dollars put a
00:01:02.720 hundred dollars up you you always have to save money for a rainy day got it so that was that
00:01:09.380 was the philosophy going in go going back again i want to ask that last the question one more time
00:01:14.060 when you did that deal the 750 was there anybody you'll give credit to that said hey floyd try to
00:01:20.220 get out of contract by asking for this was there anyone that gave you a hint or a tip or was it all
00:01:25.300 you well i always try to surround myself with smart people you don't only you don't want to be
00:01:34.240 the only smart person on your team fully you guys you have to surround yourself with people that's
00:01:39.340 smarter than you and that's what i did throughout my career was there somebody in that moment that
00:01:44.980 gave you a tip anyone that gave you and said maybe this is a good idea how to how to move to make it
00:01:50.040 happen was it a lawyer was it a person in the sporting game was it somebody outside of it
00:01:54.280 It was a it was a it was a guy who was sort of like a father figure, but he stole three hundred and fifty million from me. 0.99
00:02:03.020 Holy shit. So I didn't. So that's why I didn't even want to speak his name. 0.99
00:02:08.060 I got it. So he told you to go by seven fifty, but he got three fifty out of you.
00:02:14.320 No, he told me to go right to shit. Well, no, I was my idea to be free. 0.99
00:02:17.660 Sure. He connected with me because he knew I was the face of boxing and he knew if he he played.
00:02:24.280 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.
00:02:33.620 Two or three hundred other fighters because he's a face of boxing, if he speak about me, other fighters will follow.
00:02:40.020 So eventually it was my idea to become free.
00:02:45.040 I paid the 750. I became free. He was helping me.
00:02:48.860 At least I thought he was helping me. At least I thought he was was a friend.
00:02:51.540 eventually you know um we start looking at the paperwork years later and then we come to find out
00:02:57.180 350 million was stolen did you ever get that money back from him um we in we're in litigation right
00:03:02.980 now right now right now we're still in litigation right now about the money is that the thing that
00:03:08.360 i saw 164 million right is that part of it or that's different which one the 164 million 164
00:03:14.600 million now that's the same guy now now with the we don't want the 200 million now it's a guy who

00:05:56.320 Yes, yes.
00:05:57.060 You know, we already talked about it.
00:05:58.360 You know, for that fight, I'll be guaranteed $110 million.
00:06:03.220 So, you know, we'd be okay.
00:06:05.460 What's he going to get?
00:06:06.380 Is it a decent number he's getting?
00:06:08.400 Manny?
00:06:09.120 Well, the reason why the fight hasn't happened as of lately, I know you guys kept hearing,
00:06:15.060 well, why this fight is not happening.
00:06:17.160 So let me kind of explain.
00:06:20.480 It was a guy, the same guy that stole the $200 million.
00:06:23.120 He was in the middle of committing fraud against numerous people, I should say.
00:06:30.900 and um we was gonna fight on netflix and with the deal they tried to offer me as well as pacquiao
00:06:38.960 uh the same amount of money and so i said okay on the first on the first pacquiao fight i was
00:06:45.460 guaranteed 101 million he was guaranteed uh he was guaranteed 25 so we come back and do the rematch
00:06:51.620 this time and they try to give both of us uh 27 and a half million i said well he lose and he get
00:06:58.080 the exact same much as I get?
00:06:59.720 I said, absolutely not.
00:07:00.980 So I said, go back to the drawing board,
00:07:04.020 get your numbers right,
00:07:04.920 and when y'all got your numbers right,
00:07:05.920 then come talk to me.
00:07:07.100 Who taught you how to negotiate for?
00:07:08.520 You're very good negotiator.
