    Do you know what? I've got to be honest with you. I hate seeing Floyd Mayweather do these exhibitions, talk about these other fights. I don't, if he wants to come back and fight Ryan Garcia, I'm all for it. Because that's a real fight, right? You've got a WBC reigning 147 pound champion. And by the way, I think Floyd beats him. You think Floyd beats Ryan? I do. Yes, I do. But to come back and do it, that's actually a sign of greatness. I don't like the money grab against some DJ from Greece or like whatever it I don't know what it is and you get a million quid but you get a free flight and a couple of Hermes bags or whatever. If you want to come back and fight for the world championship against a great young fighter that I'm excited I mean I'm excited to see that and as I understand it Ryan Garcia against Floyd Mayweather it's on.
