I don't. I'm. I'm. I'm not the one to knock anyone. You know, whatever you want to do in life, go for it. You know, I just can't be stopped. Whatever I put my mind to do, I can do.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
Yeah.
Floyd Mayweather
You know. You know, when I was walking in New York as a kid, did ever. When I was young, did I ever think that I was going to own a skyscraper? I didn't think about it, but now I do own nine.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
That's incredible. Can you talk to us about maybe one of the biggest lessons you've learned from Leonard Ellaby, one you may have taken away from Vince McMahon and then someone else who's a mentor to you that's had an impact on your career?
Floyd Mayweather
Well, they say. Well, they say you are. You are the five people that you surround yourself with. That's who you are.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
Yes.
Floyd Mayweather
So, of course, I, you know, Roy Disney is one of my friends who owns Walt Disney World. Robert Smith, the richest black man in America.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
Yes.
Floyd Mayweather
And the list, Mark Holiday from SL Green, Al Heyman, all these guys are. It's not just. It's not just the money. Yeah. You know, I. Many. I've dealt with millions. Millions and billions of dollars. It's about building relationships.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
Yeah. Say they talk about that, and he always mentions that it's all about.
Floyd Mayweather
It's not really the money because you can make a lot of money, but if you don't have a game plan, it's gonna.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
You, you.
Floyd Mayweather
You're rich. You're not wealthy, because rich is when you got it for a short period of time. Wealth is long term.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Yeah. So one of the things that we've noticed, obviously you said you were in Dubai, in Abu Dhabi, we saw you there, is that you're doing business deals. Like, I see the exhibition fights, but I'm like, he's just doing that. But there's something bigger going on, obviously. I think it's the deals. And so when you're looking at. What are you looking for when deals come across to you? Right. Because I'm sure that probably a team that says, all right, Floyd, we have this. What are you looking forward to say? All right. Yes, we're going with this because, I mean, nine skyscrapers, that's pretty impressive, man.
Floyd Mayweather
Well, you. Well, I don't want to be the only smart person with my team. So I got to choose. It's chess. It's real life. Real life chess out here in the world. So I want to make sure that, you know, I got smart individuals that are, that surround me that's going to tell me, don't do. That's not smart. You know, I've been working on buying an NBA team outright. You know, there's a difference between clap.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
It up for that.
Floyd Mayweather
We look, you know, me and actually one of my other, other business partners, Brent Johnson, he's here. So we've been working on the NBA team for a while now. You know, it's kind of, it's rough.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Vegas.
Floyd Mayweather
It could be the Vegas franchise, it could be the Seattle franchise, or I could be buying a franchise that's already up and running.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Gotcha.
Floyd Mayweather
So the first offer we offered them a little bit over 2 billion for majority ownership. Do we got. Do I have it? Absolutely, I have it.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
But laugh it up for that.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Kidding me.
Floyd Mayweather
But it didn't happen. It didn't happen overnight. It didn't happen overnight. It's. It's a lot. It's a lot when you have so many different businesses all around. All around the world, actually. It's a lot. It's not easy.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Can I just follow that really quick? Because I wonder, when you walk into a business deal, right, are they respecting you as Floyd Mayweather the businessman, or are they looking at you as Floyd Mayweather the hall of Fame boxer? The greatest all time.
Floyd Mayweather
Exactly.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Right. Tb, what is that like for you?
Floyd Mayweather
Well, I had to be somewhat intelligent and smart to be able to make 100 million and 300 million. And actually at my age now, I'm still going out there picking up 20 and 30 million for 15 minutes. And 20 minutes.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Earnest, what's up? Look, you ever notice how building a website used to feel like running a relay race? Designer hands it to developer, developer hands it to marketing.

Store In sports and in life, timing is everything. You can have the right talent, the right mindset, even the right team. But if you don't act at the right moment, the opportunity slips away. That's true on the field, and it's true when it comes to your health. If you or someone you care about is facing metastatic prostate cancer, there's a treatment called plavicto lutetium LU177 vapivotide tetraxitan it's not chemotherapy. It works differently by targeting PSMA positive cells, including prostate cancer cells. Pluvicto is a prescription treatment used to treat adults with prostate specific membrane antigen positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer or PSMA positive MCRPC who have already been treated with hormone therapy and are considered appropriate to delay chemotherapy. Pluvicto involves contact with radioactivity, which may increase the risk for cancer and cause fetal harm. Patients are advised to drink plenty of fluids, urinate often, use contraception and talk to their doctor about how to reduce the risk of exposing others to radiation during and after treatment. It can also cause low levels of blood cell counts, kidney problems and infertility. If you experience weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, bleeding or bruising more easily, an infection, or changes in urination, talk to your doctor. Side effects include decreased blood cell counts, tiredness, dry mouth, nausea, appetite loss, joint or back pain and constipation. Here's the bottom line. This isn't just about treatment. It's about making the most of the time. You have time to be with the people who matter. Time to keep showing up for the moments that count. So if you or someone you love is in this fight, ask your doctor about Plu victo. Because in sports and in life, the best players don't just react. They anticipate. They prepare. They act. Visit Plavicto.com to learn more. That's P-L-U-V-I-C-T-O.com greatest trade ever.
Floyd Mayweather
So clap it up.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
So so it's obvious on numbers.
Floyd Mayweather
It's obvious that I'm the smart one if I'm able to make the people pay and I'm beating YouTubers. Good point.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
So let me. Let me ask you this. This is one thing that I always admired about you. I don't think you got enough credit for because you hear we always see LeBron always getting credit for working with his team or black young men. But when I look at you and you see Al Heyman and. And Leonard Ellerby, and your circle is all black. As far as on that business side, on the boxing, like the forefront, people. So you were early on that and was that important to you or it just kind of happened that way?
Floyd Mayweather
Well, of course, I'm going to always. I'm going to always love my people first. Always. In business, you know, I got to think about my family first. I got to think about my grandson, my daughter.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
Yeah.
Floyd Mayweather
My two daughters, my two sons. I got to think about them first. So when it comes to business, it's not. No, it's not no certain color. I work with everybody. It's just like that. But far as my team, it just ended up, you know, my team, we would. I have a real diverse team. You know, we got people from all walks of life that's on my team that I. That I'm with every day. And I. And I love my team, but when it comes to business, I do business with every. With everyone. Honestly speaking.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Quick.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
No, go ahead.
A quick question for you. You talked about using the haters fuel, and it's something that I struggle with, but I also use it as fuel, as. At what point does using negative energy become detrimental to your life? Or do you think it's because we grow with childhood traumas that makes us activate a higher gear when we hear something negative towards us?
Floyd Mayweather
Well, they said if you want to. Going back and forth. And I really want to apologize because a lot of times I go back and, you know, I never. I was always on the Internet. I was always the reaction. I wasn't the action because I never, like I said before, I love my people first.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Yeah.
Floyd Mayweather
I'm never going. You know, but sometimes you can shoot at me. You can shoot at me, and I really won't say nothing, but, you know, I got to shoot back. You know, I got to teach my. My children and my family how to defend themselves, you know, not just in the ring. So a lot of times when people are. People don't really like when you are. When you continue to be successful, you know, it's even like a woman, a woman can be in your life and she's no longer in your life, and she can think that, you know, the grass is green on the other side. She think that you're not gonna continue to be successful.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
Shout out to my exes.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
You could.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
Have been here with me and Floyd and Troy and Rashad, but shout out, bae.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
But you chose the wise.
Floyd Mayweather
And it's nothing that works both ways. So I don't want to be in this room. I don't want to be biased. It works both ways.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
True.
Floyd Mayweather
You know, a lot of times a man like me, I've never been with a woman. And we, when we went our separate ways, I was like, oh, I don't want to see her be successful. More power to you. Yeah, that's not going, that's not going to change everything that I got. That's not going to change my drive and my desire to be great at whatever I'm, you know, to be great at whatever investments I'm trying to do or whatever I'm trying to go for in life.
Interviewer / Podcast Co-host
How do you deal with managing people? Because you obviously have Mayweather Promotions and you set the precedent for boxers becoming their own boss, and you have one of the greatest young talents on your stable, Javonte Davis. But I seen recently that he's actually looking to leave. How does that relationship work? How, like, how does that work as far as, you know, grooming somebody, getting them to a point and then having some differences?
Floyd Mayweather
I've always been a gentleman. I've always been respectful. And there's nothing like taking a kid that come from the same background as you and helping them and put them in a position to become a multi millionaire. You know, you meet a kid, he just come, he come up to you for an autograph, you sign an autograph for him. Then I tell him, in a few years, when you get older, I'm gonna work with you and I'm gonna make you world champion someday. Years later, I started working with him, helped him, pushed him to be great. And if he feels like, you know, his wings, he's grew wings where he can fly and become his own boss, more power to him.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Okay, from, from, from your standpoint, because.
Floyd Mayweather
That'S not going to, I, I, I didn't get into the sport of boxing, you know, you know, after I retired to not want to see fighters grow. I want to, if I can, if he feels like he can surpass Floyd Mayweather or be the next Floyd Mayweather, I'm here to push you Go for it.
Commercial Narrator / Advertiser Voice
Yeah, that true. Clap it over that.
Floyd Mayweather
My graduates from my school being Forbes backdrop, back drop.
