HBO's award-winning franchise "24/7" returned tonight with episode 2 of "24/7 Mayweather/Cotto", the all-access reality series following undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather and WBA jr. middleweight champion Miguel Cotto as they prepare for their May 5 Cinco de Mayo showdown at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Episode 2 was not short on quotes from both fighters. "I am the doctor. I'm the doctor. I'ma tame him and I'ma operate come May 5th. Watch me operate. And you know me, I'm still going strong. Still look good and young. Feel strong, still got big muscles. You know how it is. Still flamboyant. Still shit talking," Mayweather would comment. Check out what else he had to say in episode 2 of 24/7 Mayweather/Cotto.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER:
I'm texting Miguel Cotto right now. How you doing Miguel? Hoping you had a great day at training camp.
We gonna dance like the stars on May 5th. We gonna tango.
Don't be late for your funeral on May 5th.
We don't want to put a label on Ms. Jackson and say she's my fiance. She's my better half.
My dad want that 24/7 exposure. He ain't crazy. But I'm not going to tell him he can't come to the gym. Fuck no, he's my father. We beef a little bit, but we alright. Right now, it's okay. Next week, we'll be arguing because he'll be trying to take over the gym.
I'm glad that Miguel Cotto's trainer is a doctor, so when I open his ass up, he can close him up.
I am the doctor. I'm the doctor. I'ma tame him and I'ma operate come May 5th. Watch me operate. And you know me, I'm still going strong. Still look good and young. Feel strong, still got big muscles. You know how it is. Still flamboyant. Still shit talking.
My uncle Roger is a great person, unbelievable; that's my uncle. I love him. I'll do anything for him.
Mayweather loves Mexico.
50 cent, of course, my best friend. Unbelievable person. Some of the best music you ever heard. Strong mentally, phsycially, and a very, very smart individual.
He [50 Cent] has a very, very busy schedule, but I like him to be around for that inspiration. I feel like, going into this fight, this rmeind me of Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
How the fuck do Miguel Cotto got a loyal team when he keep changing trainers every fight?
If I had to go to war, you know, it's certain soldiers that I got to have wtih me. 50 Cent, I got to have with me...gotta to have Roger with me. I have to take my father with me 'cause he gonna go all out. His mentality is like mine...it's kill or be killed.
If I'm with you, I'm with you till the end. That's what I truly believe in.
