"I bust my ass to get out of the ghetto - and brought my family with me."
Mayweather Jr discusses being brought up into a fighting family.
Details security team and coaching staff.
"Genaro Hernandez gave me my first opportunity, Diego Corrales [was] my first undefeated fighter, I fought Arturo Gatti on his turf, Oscar de la Hoya [was my] record-breaking fight and then Ricky Hatton… I say bring on all-comers."
"I'm from a family of hustlers."
"As world champion I've dominated this sport since 1998, I go to the gym and work-out and then I come home to my $17 million mansion and think; this is God-given talent."

Notables - Victor (29-2-2, 22ko)
Story of the underdog and 'fighting from behind his entire life'.
Reviews childhood: his mother left when he was 7-years-old, his father physically abused him and his brother Temo.
[Temo] "My dad was an older Mexican machismo type-of-guy and he would find anything to beat us up with: a stick, a two-by-four, an extension cord, whatever…"
"My brother and I were two stray dogs."
"I did a job I wasn't supposed to - I raised my parents' child."
Ortiz as an all-round athlete, surfer, paddle-boarder, kayaker, yoga student and more.
"The moment I touch someone, the next thing they're on the canvas [and I'm like] that's nice!"
