“If he’s having a problem with Marquez, I mean, Marquez is a good counterpuncher, but I’m the best to ever do it. We knew where Marquez was at. When Mayweather was dominating the sport, Marquez was also dominating way back when. Marquez didn’t just pop up out of the blue. A majority of the great ones all went to the Olympics, American fighters and other fighters that come from other countries…All these guys had went to the Olympics and they knew these guys were something special from the beginning.

You hear certain things, negative things, all the time that aren’t true, but you never hear about the positive. You never hear them talk about how Al Haymon is one of the best business guys, not just in the sport of boxing, but one of the best business guys in the world. You don’t hear them talking about how we gave money to Breast Cancer research. I mean, these are things they never talk about.
