“I don’t care about losing. How many times did Michael Jordan lose before he won his first championship? It wasn’t about the number of losses with Sugar Ray Leonard or Tommy Hearns.”

I wasn’t too excited about school, I’m not going to lie.

Some people are just naive to what they say.

I love to box, because I think boxing is an art.

I’m trying to involve the fans and bring in a crowd where not only do they love boxing but they love me as a person.

You can be a champion and you can be flashy with money and cars but you have a big platform. What are you trying to change?

Just like I have all the capabilities to become a big star, Golden Boy has all the tools to get me there.

If you settle in life, you don’t go further.

The more I get better, the opposition has to get better.

Every time I throw, I hate to miss. It’s like those timing games in the arcades. I win every single time. Guys watch me and they pay me to keep playing.

I just want to lean on my team to make the best decisions for me because, knowing myself, I won’t say no to anybody.

I’ve been boxing since I was 7 years old.

If I’m fighting the best, then I can inspire a younger generation. I walk into the gyms and see girls boxing. They say I’m their inspiration. I love that.

Madison Square Garden has held some of the best fights of all time. Many legendary fighters have fought there. Being able to fight there is an honor.

Promoters need you. You don’t need them. The boxer has the leverage, and a lot of boxers don’t know that.

That’s one of my idols, I really look up to Pacquiao. This guy is everything I would want to be.

There’s so many people who come to me here in L.A., promising me this and promising me that. What I’m learning is figuring out what’s real versus what’s just talk.

You cannot win if you’re not at the table. You have to be where the action is.

Talking about class terrifies me. There is no way of winning.

I try to live my life like my father lives his. He always takes care of everyone else first. He won’t even start eating until he’s sure everyone else in the family has started eating. Another thing: My dad never judges me by whether I win or lose.

Whether it’s good talk or bad talk about me, as long as your talking and making me the center of your world, I win.

You learn nothing about someone by the way they win the fight, you learn everything about the way they lose and keep coming back.

Happiness is worth a daring deed; we are both free if we but will it, and then the game is won.

I think that [Chris] Christie’s endorsement is, you know, it’s a sign that – you know, he is who we thought he was in so many different respects. He’s someone who ambition is the only thing that I think is bigger than his appetite.

Let’s just win it and go home.
