My father offered me a dollar for every pound I would lose as a kid. It didn't work. And it doesn't really work in the long run. Who are you competing against? It's you. You need to be doing this for you and only you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a gambling-man. I have never bet a dollar in all my life.
Why would you give me so much money and not try to win? What on earth is the point of that? They have to be serious about winning going forward. There's no other logical explanation.
I'm not really a betting person. I work too hard for my money to give it away.
I'm a prize fighter. Titles don't pay bills. I fight for money. I'm making money. They're making money. Everybody's making money. That's what this is all about.
I never set money as a goal. It was a result.
I'm a professional athlete. I've been paid since I was in my early 20s to go out there and fight with guys who were 40 or 50 pounds heavier than I am and fight for my life. I got into a business where people make decisions based on some of the most stupid things.
Economics is about creating win-win situations. But in sports, someone loses.
You can win, it'll just cost you some money.
I've never chased money. It's always been about what I can do to motivate and inspire people.
Money isn't something I play for. I want to compete. I want to win.
