[Of] the last ten fights that he had, seven have been for charity.

They believe with him in the charity event they'll be able to raise it.

It was an exciting day today. We flew out [to New York]; we were treated like royalty, rubbed elbows with the best in the business. He's on pay-per-view. He's at Madison Square Garden. That's like being in the Super Bowl. That's like being in the national championship. Fighters who have fought for 10 years -- title-holders -- don't get a chance to fight at the Garden.

I thought that he would have been a better boxer than a football player, because being a football player you have to have size, you have to have speed. It's a lot more difficult to get a scholarship for football than it is to go into the gym and go box.

He's been doing this for 10 years, of course he gets hurt. It's a blood sport. You're supposed to get hurt. ... Every boxer gets hurt. When you come back from sparring, you're hurt.

Of course if he loses that first fight, there's a good chance there's not going to be a second. That's how boxing is.
