“Most of leaders in Philippine politics come from rich family.”

I’m not against gay people.

Imagine what I would have done with my fire-breathing fists.

It’s just a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I never compare myself to anybody. I don’t look at my accomplishments compared to anyone. I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished in boxing.

Obey God’s law first before considering the laws of man.

Nothing personal – I am just doing my job.

I know what poverty is.

I come from a poor family.

Nobody can say that I’m lazy in training.

I’m happy to help people.

My success is not about the wealth and fame. I am most concerned with my relationship to God, which is the most important.

The religion is a personal thing in my life and fighting in the ring, it’s boxing. It’s my profession. God always gives me strength.

I was in tailoring business, I sold flowers on the street, I worked construction and many odd jobs.

I’m doing this for my family and my country.

I’ve always fought for my country, in my own way, showing that Filipinos are a strong people and can do anything that they put their minds to.

I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years.
