By Ben Thompson | April 20, 2014

The first episode of the Emmy-nominated SHOWTIME Sports series ALL ACCESS: MAYWEATHER vs. MAIDANA debuted tonight in the lead-up to the May 3 showdown between WBC welterweight champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather and WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana. For those fans wanting to learn more about Maidana and his feelings towards Mayweather, it did not disappoint. "I'm not intimidated by anything. Not the crowds nor the lights nor my opponent...I don't really care about fame. I think if the fights weren't televised or if we had to fight without an audience, it would be better. I only want to fight...Mayweather better be ready. I know that I can knock him out with one punch," Maidana would comment. Check out what else Marcos Maidana had to say in episode 1 of All Access: Mayweather vs. Maidana.

MARCOS MAIDANA:

I'm not intimidated by anything. Not the crowds nor the lights nor my opponent.

I don't really care about fame. I think if the fights weren't televised or if we had to fight without an audience, it would be better. I only want to fight.

The most important thing is the birth of my daughter, but I have to train hard so I can be ready for the fight.

I had to roll over him [Adrien Broner]. I had a responsibility to the public to win and shut him up.

Some kids in town were training and I walked by. I asked if I could train and they said yes. I started without knowing what I was doing and every time a new fight rolled around, I got better each time.

Now that the whole thing with my daughter has passed, I'm going to focus on the fight and winning so we'll have more to celebrate.

My son is coming to the fight. My mother, father, and siblings is coming as well.

Mayweather better be ready. I know that I can knock him out with one punch. Every time I go to the United States, I fight as the visitor or the underdog, but I don't care. It doesn't effect me at all. I prefer it actually. I don't have to prove anything to anybody.
