"It is [realistic]. It's just a case of like... Gib wants $1 million doesn't he,"
"I don't know how big Gib is. I don't think he's as big as Jake Paul but I must say, I really enjoyed being around those boys and I thought they were brilliant all week."

"I can't sit here and say it has nothing to do with me, but the bottom line is, I am not a politician.
"As ruthless as it is, I've got a job to do for my fighter. It doesn't matter what I think, but I am happy and excited at how everything has gone."
