Personally, I have nothing against Bob Arum. I can say, 'Hey, let's shake hands, patch things up and that's it.' It's him that has the problem.

Once, I was at a party, ... This was at a time when it seemed like I had everything. I was young. I was undefeated. I had money. I'd just moved into my own home. People at the party were laughing and having fun. And I missed my mother. I felt so lonely. I remember asking myself, 'Why isn't my mother here Why are all these people around me I don't want these people around me.' I looked out the window and started crying.
