Via SportsGrid:
“That’s how much I believe in myself because I can afford to give up whatever. So if you believe in your skills like you say you believe in your skills, however much you’re making for the fight, I’ll bet I beat you.”
“If he believes in his skills, bet the fight. Either you’re going to bet or not. Since I know I’m probably making about $70m. He believes in his skills and I believe in my skills.”
At the time, a deal wasn’t made.
