I used to watch Babita and Vinesh win medals. I was happy for my sisters but at the same time I felt bad for not being a part of the contingent.

There was no roof where we trained, so it used to get very hot during the day and the mud used to feel very cold during the evening.

I come from a village where traditionally girls don't go out and play sport so I struggled a lot to come this far and to get to this position where I am at the Olympics.

Our akhara was very basic. It was just a little opening next to where the animals were tied. We had to first dig the soil with our bare hands, make it loose, before we could begin our session. I used to hate it. It also used to be either too hot or too cold. There were no mats, no mattresses, nothing.

Film as a medium has a power that sports like wrestling lack.

It's about hard work and not gender.

I don't like to rush things.

Everywhere I go, I will make a good payday. But we got to choose the right opponent and the right time and the right venue.

The American fans would love to see me fight anybody.

Floyd Mayweather is in the sport to give great performances.

Some people are just right for you.

I would lie in bed, and I was nine years old, and say to myself: 'I want to be the richest man in the world.' I've come a long way from there.

When they put me on ESPN and they talk about negative things, or when they put me on TMZ and they talk about negative things, I'm just glad that I'm relevant; to have lasted this long being relevant.

What's so crazy is when you give interviews to reporters that don't really care too much for you, basically what they're going to do is write what they want to write and discredit you. They're going to write and say what they want to say, no matter what you tell them.

I'm a professional fighter and like most professional fighters I have had difficulties with my hands in the past.

I love basketball.

I ain't never nervous. Never nervous.

I like to play table tennis, spend time with my kids.

I always put my boxing first.

Well, you've got certain obstacles that get in your way throughout your career, but you have to be a strong individual.

When I step in the ring, I bring everything I have.

I think I already proved that I wasn't just fighting for the money, because I fought as an amateur. I fought 90 fights for free.

I got a big mouth.

I feel like everybody is against Floyd Mayweather. I don't get any respect.
