Fighters Kick-Off Fight Week Activities with Fighting Words

FLOYD “MONEY” MAYWEATHER

On Sugar Shane Mosley:

“When I beat him, they are going to say he is old.

“All these fighters get the belts that I gave up. When you are bigger than the sport, belts don’t mean anything. He needs a belt…A belt means something to him.”

On breaking records:

“All I can do is hope for the best. There is no limit to what we can do. The sky is not even the limit. If they did say a fight is going to do 700,000 homes, it will do something like 1.4 million. We can never predict a certain number.

“The ultimate goal is to always break records.”

Thank you, everybody for calling in.  We have a lot of people that have called in for this great opportunity to talk to what I think is the greatest fighter in boxing today, Floyd Mayweather.  Also joining us today is Leonard Ellerbe and Richard Schaefer and we’re going to get right to the call.  So, I’m going to pass it over to Richard Schaefer, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Boy Promotions to make the introduction.

R.  Schaefer

Thank you, Kelly, but Kelly not of today, the greatest of all time.  Good afternoon and welcome to today’s conference call featuring the money man himself: Floyd Mayweather. We have a week to go and I have to say, this is, as I just predicted, shaping up as the most heavily promoted fight of all time.  We are for the first time utilizing all available new media and all media platforms and generating a pre-fight buzz, which I frankly have never seen before.
