If the fighter doesn't want to fight, you're not gonna want him to fight. If the fighter doesn't want to fight, the promoter doesn't make him fight. And if he wants to retire, then it's time to walk away.

Scott Coker

I will tell you right now, I want to fight the No. 1 fighter in the world. I always said that I want to fight the No. 1 fighter.

Nick Diaz

I do not care who I fight. Line them up. I will let the fans pick. That is the way to do it because I am a fans' fighter. I want to fight the people they want me to fight. I will fight Tyson, Lewis, Tua, Rahman, whoever. I am a real fighter. You do not see too many real fighters out there today. You have these patsy papier - mâché champions.

James Toney

At the end of the day, we fight for the legacy, but you don't want to be just a fighter with legacy with no money.

Danny Garcia

I'm a prize fighter. Titles don't pay bills. I fight for money. I'm making money. They're making money. Everybody's making money. That's what this is all about.

Brock Lesnar

I'm a very respectful fighter, I don't get out of character and start talking crazy, but if you don't want to fight a fighter, or you don't think it's a good style, or it's just not time, then say that.

Andre Ward

I guess there hasn't been a tough enough opponent for me to fight. But fighting a southpaw is OK. It's something different and maybe I need something different. I look at a right-handed fighter then I look at a left-handed fighter, and it's even better.

Brandon Rios

I did my part. I signed it for UFC 205 in New York. I signed my part, and Julianna turned it down. She didn't want to fight that time, but I don't care about this because I am a fighter, and if she don't want fight, we was looking for another opponent to make fight.

Valentina Shevchenko

The difference is that the money I make from Reebok is per fight, meaning I have to fight to get that money. If I don't fight, there is no money. It's not based on me being a good spokesman or one of the faces of their company. It's a per fight thing. It's a very different thing. It's more like a fight bonus than a sponsorship.

Carlos Condit

I think everyone is pretty excited about me. I have a style that any fight fan would love. I am a real value-for-money fighter. People want to see me against the elite.

Ricky Hatton

Yes, I think about having a career in boxing, but I want to start from the bottom, start from zero. I want to get ranked and one day fight for a belt. I don't want to fight just to fight, for money, to go after big fights and challenge a great champion.

Jose Aldo

I got paid about £5,000 for my first fight against some fat nobody in Wembley. If you're an amazing fighter you'll get between £20,000 and £50,000 for your first fight. I spent all that money on clothes.

Dereck Chisora

I want to fight a UFC fighter.

Logan Paul

He's complicated and complex, a labyrinth I want to lose myself in. He's my fighter, and I really want to fight to be with him.

Katy Evans

You don't want the fight to stop on a cut or something like that. You want to finish the fight. You always have the idea that you have the chance to stay in a fight, because one blow can end it all.
