Moving speech from Floyd Mayweather.

Floyd mayweather received the award for the fighter of the year at the nevada boxing hall of fame awards and as he received the award he made a speech that was tinged with some real insight into the man and what he has gone through.

Some quotes from the speech:

Floyd on his branding:
Yes everyone sees us on all access or where when i was with hbo 24/7 they see all the flashiness,shiiit talking,the trash talking, i had a game plan.
When I say I'm tbe that is no disrespect to no legendary champions because every fighter has to feel he's the best , if not you're in the wrong sport.

Floyd on his goals:
My ultimate goal was to become a 100 million dollar fighter, when mike tyson and I seen it myself with my own eyes, when I seen that Bentley at the boxing gym and that diamond rolex, I said I want that, and i knew what it took. So I know when my opponents asleep I'm out there working, to this day. But I got the will to win.

Floyd on performing when it matters:
I have my good days and bad days, I'm only going to have my bad days in the boxing gym, because I'm an under the lights type fighter, because when I go under those lights, no matter how I win, I win.

Floyd on Pacquiao:
You guys are the one that said this guy throws a 1000 punches a round, you guys are the ones that said he's on my level, well i'm going to let everybody know, any guy you think is extraordinary, mayweather is going to make him look ordinary, because the name of the game is to hit and not get it.

Floyd on critics of his fights:
Oh mayweather is not exciting, oh mayweather is running, Yep i'm running, i'm running to the bank.

Floyds advice to young fighters:
To get something you have to sacrifice something, and what I did, I put everything aside my whole life, boxing has always been first.

You're so gay for Floyd

Moving

Just appreciating the greatest fighter of this era. 1 more month and we won't ever see him in a boxing ring again. No all access or 24/7 with floyd in,no press conferences, no hype around who he will fight.Boxing will go on but when i look around i don't see any fighter out there that will fill the void.

No chance is he retiring after September he'll do the 50-0

Be glad to see the back of Mayweather, unexciting fighter worried about protecting his 0.

He wont retire he has nothing outside boxing he will be back next year.
