Self-preservation is an important thing to me.
I don't have to fight if I don't want to.
When they put me on ESPN and they talk about negative things, or when they put me on TMZ and they talk about negative things, I'm just glad that I'm relevant; to have lasted this long being relevant.

Me myself I park in handicap, the reason why... ya know my bankroll make me walk with a crazy limp.

I got a granite chin.
There is no fighter smarter than me.
Anything I've asked of MGM Grand, they've done for me in a heartbeat. They're all about making entertainers and athletes happy.

Hopefully, some day I help some of this up-and-coming talent and promote them. Boxing is growing and is here to stay.
When it's all said & done only God can judge me. I'm going to go out there on 5/5 to give my fans what they want to see.
