Attendees will include promoters, network executives, public relations representatives, hakemler, fighters and others, and come from diverse backgrounds, cultures and levels of experience. Women who have attended Raging Babe events have networked, forged business and personal relationships and have been inspired by the stories of success and persistence shared by the hundreds of attendees over the past few years. There may be no woman that better personifies a story of success and persistence than Kathy Duva, who will be honored with the Raging Babe Luminary Award at the brunch.

Duva, the CEO of Main Events, and a mother of three, has been involved with boxing for nearly forty years, entering the business while in college with her then boyfriend Dan Duva. The Duvas teamed up to promote some of boxing’s top talent over the years under the Main Events banner, including Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Pernell Whitacker, Arturo Gatti and Fernando Vargas, all while cultivating powerful relationships with HBO and other networks. Kathy continued her husband’s legacy after his passing in 1996, becoming one of the most recognized figures in boxing.

“Kathy Duva is the perfect honoree for our first New York City Brunch,” said Raging Babe founder and namesake Michelle Rosado. “Boks, like the ‘Concrete Jungle,’ has so many hard edges, and can be tough to navigate…but like New York City, it is full of opportunity for the right type of person, and Kathy Duva is that kind of person. She’s a headstrong, smart and persistent woman, who has an uncanny ability to endear people to her while not taking any gruff from anyone. It’s our honor to recognize her at the brunch.”

Past Raging Babe event honorees have included the “First Lady of Boxing” Jackie Kallen, Halkla İlişkiler ace Kelly Swanson, TV öncü Claudia Trejo, heart transplant recipient Kennedy Cunningham, Şöhret COO Nevada Boks Salonu Michelle Corrales-Lewis, and Golden Boy’s Monica Sears. “It’s a privilege to stand in a room with women of this caliber,” dedi Rosado. “The Raging Babe Brunch started as a concept…something we might try to do yearly, but it’s become such a powerful and valuable event for attendees, we’re growing and doing more than one event per year. We’re able to do this because of the women of boxing that continue to support the event, and of course, thanks to our event partners.
The East Coast is well overdue for a Raging Babe Brunch, and I’m so pleased to be able to work with our partners to bring the event to New York City.”

Leonard Ellerbe

Teşekkür ederim, herkes, çağrı üzerine bize katıldığınız için. Biz fazla uzatmadan bu işe hakkını atlarsınız. Floyd Mayweather kendisi dışındaki Yok.

 

Floyd Mayweather

Hey, Herkes nasıl yapıyor? Ben Leonard teşekkür etmek istiyorum. Ben Kelly teşekkür etmek istiyorum. Ben ekibimi teşekkür etmek istiyorum. Ben bu kavgayı kapsayan olmuştur dünyadan tüm medya teşekkür etmek istiyorum. Ben herkese teşekkür etmek istiyorum, Ben sadece siz büyük bir iş yaptığını söylemek istiyorum ve seni takdir ediyorum.

 

S

Geçen gece SportsCenter o şey, Eğer boks tarihinin içinde yer hakkında konuşuyorduk ve derken sen Muhammed Ali daha büyük sanıyordum. Eğer bu şekilde hissediyorum neden size nedenlerle genişletebilirsiniz?

 

F. Mayweather

Ben gibi hissediyorum, Daha önce söylediğim gibi, Ben şapkamı çıkarmak ve daha sonra geçmiş şampiyonları tüm kabul. Are, Ben o bir efsane olduğunu düşünüyorum. Ben başka bir şampiyon saygı gibi Ali'yi saygı. Ben sadece her şeyi yaptım gibi benim bütün ömrü boyunca bu sporda yapabilirsiniz hissediyorum, 30 şey yıl. Ben Ali gibi ben bu sporda sadece kadar yaptığım gibi hissediyorum.

 

Hiçbir saygısızlık ona var. Ben gibi hissediyorum, Eğer baktığınızda, Ali bir ağırlık sınıfında büyük, hangi ağır olduğu. Ama o iyi bir neden için ayağa kalktı; Onun döneminde bir neden bir cehennem için ayağa kalktı.

 

Bir adam beni dövmek için zor olduğunu düşünüyorum. Ben hala keskin değilim, hala çok, yaşta çok keskin 38. Hala yaşta güçlüyüz 38. Ali hiçbir saygısızlık yok, Daha önce de söylediğim gibi. Ben en iyisiyim gibi hissediyorum, kendini 'Greatest denilen nasıl farksızdır,’ Ben 'TBE kendimi diyoruz.’

 

Ben söylediklerim için eleştirdi alacak eminim, ama ben daha az bakım olabilir. Ben tepki umurumda değil. Ben o büyük olduğunu söyledi muhtemelen belirli bir anda eleştirdi var gibi inandığımız inanıyorum. O Sugar Ray Robinson daha iyiydi gibi hissediyordu. liste uzayıp gidiyor. Ben gelip gidiyor başka savaşçı olması oluyor eminim ve o Floyd Mayweather daha iyi olduğunu söylüyorlar ve o eleştirdi almak için gidiyor.

 

S

Eğer Manny Pacquiao kötü adam ve tüm bu diğer şeyler geldiğinde Freddie Roach diyor ki bir şey inanıyor düşünüyor musunuz? Ya da o sadece duman üfleme sence?

 

F. Mayweather

Ben Freddie Roach hakkında olumsuz konuşmak için gitmiyorum. Ben hiç gerek yok. Ben adam hakkında bir şey söylemek durumunda, Onlar Floyd bir adam topluyor düşünmek için gidiyoruz, kim değil 100 Sağlıklı yüzde.

 

Sonra, Ben bazı şeyler hakkında yorum varsa diyor, O bu temelde bir Tanrı ve şeytan tipi şeyi yapıyor. Böyle bir durumun üstesinden gelmek için en iyi yolu, hiç bir şey söylemek için değil, Eğer söyleyecek olumlu bir şey yoksa. Orada ve kavga etmek yoktur, bu yüzden o aşağı geldiğinde, iki savaşçı kalmış.

 

O demek istiyor ki hakkı var, ama savaşçı böyle konuşan değil. Iki savaşçıları aşağı gelir çünkü umurumda değil. Ben iyi ama Freddie Roach şey diliyorum; Onun hakkında söylenecek negatif bir şey yok. I’m truly blessed to be where I’m at and I’m thankful to be where I’m at.

 

S

The magnitude of this fight, I know you treat it like just another fight, but what about your team? How has your team dealt with the press?

 

F. Mayweather

Çok mutluyum, Daha önce söylediğim gibi. A little bit of everything got me to this point. Everybody played a major key. I try to keep my team grounded. People talk about the money. That plays a major key. My place in history plays a major key. Performing well plays a major key. Everything plays a major, major key.

 

I just try to keep my team grounded and try to keep them focused and just try to teach them every day how to go out there and fish for themselves. That’s the only thing I try to teach my team. I tell them to stay positive, and what I’ve heard was keep a positive environment around myself, which keeps me comfortable and happy.

 

S

Are you excited at any point of this fight? I know you say you treat this like a job, but are you excited to finally get in the ring and have this fight happen?

 

F. Mayweather

It’s just like I said before. I’m not really going crazy. It’s just a fight to me. I know it’s the biggest fight in boxing history, but I can’t approach it like that because I’m not going to put any unnecessary pressure on myself.

 

He’s a fighter that’s extremely talented, he’s a very good fighter also, and my thing is just to be Floyd Mayweather. People actually don’t know, how is this fight going to be fought? I can’t say. Sanki daha önce söylediğim, I’m not a psychic. I cannot predict the future. But I will be at my best May 2nd.

S

Listen, if you believe Bob Arum, this fight might not happen. That there’s issues with tickets, there’s the contract has not been signed, whatever. Do you know anything about that?

 

F. Mayweather

When it comes to the business side, that’s for Leonard Ellerbe. I don’t try to worry about tickets; I try to worry about the guy that’s in front of in me, which is going to be Manny Pacquiao. That’s my whole focus. Tickets are something I don’t really deal with.

 

S

Have you trained harder for any previous fight than you have for this one, and would that be down to your respect for Manny or the fact that you need to work a bit harder the older you get?

 

F. Mayweather

When you’re trying to perform, when you’re at this level, you always want to perform extremely well. You don’t want to overtrain. You want to train to where you know you’re completely ready. Go out there and be at just 100 yüzde. As far as this training camp, I’ve trained extremely hard. I believe that we’ll just see how everything plays out.

 

S

I’m hearing reports, Floyd, that you’re looking stronger and fitter than ever.

 

F. Mayweather

Iyi, some people say that, you might not believe that depending on who is telling you. Inşallah. Hopefully I am. We’ll just have to see. That’s why I’m at this level, at the pinnacle of my career, because I’ve been pushing myself for so long and working so hard.

 

S

Can I just ask you about Amir Khan? Is he still in your plans?

F. Mayweather

My focus right now is the guy that’s in front of me. My last fight is in September. I never want to overlook anyone. I believe you take it one fighter at a time. As of right now, Manny Pacquaio is the guy that’s in front of me, and that’s my focus.

 

S

My question is regarding, Manny Pacquiao has said he thinks it’s Floyd’s time to lose. He’s almost implying that it’s maybe, God is on his side. I was wondering how you think, if God actually does care who wins prizefights?

 

F. Mayweather

I actually believe God loves us all. The people that are on this call, every writer, every fighter, every athlete that goes out there and competes. God loves us all. Bir kez daha, Ben bir savaşçıyım. What I do, I’m a professional prizefighter. I believe in God and I love God. I don’t think God takes sides.

 

S

Lot of stuff gets reported in the fourth or the sixth weeks leading up to this. We don’t always get a chance to ask you yourself, so I want to give you the opportunity. Is there anything that was reported that you want to clear up that you want to actually say no, that isn’t true, you guys got it wrong?

 

F. Mayweather

Yapamaz, nothing at all. Because once my career is over, that’s when I’m going to read everything, neyse, all the articles that people have written. When I come home, I leave boxing at the boxing gym. When I go to the gym or when I go to train, I work. I dedicate myself to my craft.

 

When I come home and I’m not on the computer, I’m not looking at myself. I’m not buying magazine covers with me on the cover. I’m not on the computer looking up articles. I could care less about all that. My job is to go out there and perform and be at my best, and be the best that I can be in the sport of boxing.

 

S

My question for you is, in your opinion, what would a victory against Pacquiao do for your legacy? And then how much would it enhance your legacy.

 

F. Mayweather

It’s just another fight. I just look at the situation. He’s another guy that I faced. You’re just going to say in history, that these two faced each other at one particular time. It was hard to make the fight happen, eventually they made the fight happen, and we faced each other.

 

S

Do you believe, gerçi, that a victory would in some way enhance your legacy?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m not sure, because I’m not the one that’s putting myself in the history books.

 

S

Do you think it’s true that the winner of the fight will be declared, in essence, by the public, as the king of this era?

 

F. Mayweather

I can’t really say. I don’t really know. Just look at Ali’s career. When he fought, he looked like the best when he fought. I think he lost seven fights. When I got older I noticed that he lost seven fights and lost some other fight that he lost. He still was known as the greatest. Because that’s what he put out there. Yani, that’s what it is.

 

S

The wonderment on a lot of people’s minds is when the career is over, will you have enough money for the rest of your life? Do you ever worry about losing at all?

 

F. Mayweather

Kutsandım. I made some good investments to where if I wanted to retire today, I could.

 

S

That means there’s no fear of bankruptcy whatsoever in terms of the gambling and the other involvements that you’ve spent?

 

F. Mayweather

I made some good investments, and if I wanted to retire today, I could.

 

S

My question is, you said at the press conference that you though that Pacquiao was surprised at how much bigger you were than him. Can you talk a little bit about that, and then also some of the strategic aspects of being the bigger fighter in the ring on Mayıs 2?

 

F. Mayweather

Normally when I face an opponent, they normally outweighed me by 17 için 20 pounds on fight nights. This has been going on for a good while now. You can read a guy’s body language. When Pacquiao first saw me in Miami, he didn’t expect to see me over there at the basketball game. He looked shocked, gibi, ‘Damn, he is taller than me. He’s bigger than what I thought he was.’ Just being in the sport for so long, you’re able to read body language; you’re able to read a fighter’s eyes.

 

S

Do you feel that some of the trash talking is Freddie Roach being nervous about the fight and trying to get a psychological edge on you?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m not fighting Freddie Roach, so I’m not worried about that at all. Freddie Roach, he’s Pacquiao’s trainer and he’s going to do what he has to do for his fighter to win. If that’s trying to get an edge, then that’s what he should do.

 

S

All of your other fights, you’ve always been a very vocal, always been a vocal fighter. Why the silence this time?

 

F. Mayweather

This is exactly what I’ve said. Even in my interviews, I’ve said we had to bring a game plan. Even from day one when I was with Bob Arum, I said I wanted to work extremely hard to get to a certain point in my career, which is to get to a point to be the first fighter to ever make nine figures in one night.

 

It took a game plan to me going out there on my own. It’s just me speaking out with a very, very loud voice. Having a lot of personality. But as you get older, you mature. After trash talking for 17, 18 yıl, and constantly saying, look what I’ve done. Bana bak. Bana bak. You know what I’m saying? I’m the best. Bana bak. And everybody they’ve put in front of me I’ve beaten.

 

I’m at a point where you just say, Biliyor musun? Neyse o. I know what I can do. Ben masaya getirmek biliyorum. God has truly blessed me to be in this situation. I have a good team. My children are healthy, so I don’t have to do all that.

 

It’s more like I did all that loud talking and everything to get to a certain point. I’ve still got a lot of personality, I did what I had to do to get to a certain point in my career, ve bu ne yaptım. It was a brilliant game plan.

 

S

From your personal point of view, how has this fight and this promotion been different from the many other big events that you’ve been a part of?

 

F. Mayweather

It’s actually been kind of the same. It’s just a little bit over the top, but I just try to stay relaxed. That’s my main thing. It’s a very, very huge event. I can remember every day.

 

Sometimes I think about when Mike Tyson got out of prison and he was boxing, and when he was fighting at the MGM Grand. I would go to the MGM Grand, because I wasn’t a professional at that particular time. Just starting. I would go to the MGM Grand and some people would know me so I would take pictures and just sign a few autographs. I was like, bir, MGM Grand would never be this packed again. That’s what I thought. Ben sadece oldu 19 years old at that particular time. That was in ’96. I kept believing though. I always believed that I could do record-breaking numbers. I just needed the right team with me and it took a little bit of everything. The right fights, the right team, and we made it happen.

 

S

Beyond all the trash talk and salesmanship, you’ve always been a guy that, ne zaman o aşağı gelir, is very respectful of his opponents. I think it’s part of your secret. Is there anything that you admire about Manny Pacquiao, either the fighter or the person?

 

F. Mayweather

Iyi, he’s got to this point by doing something right. It’s obvious he’s done something right to get to this point. I have to respect that.

 

S

The Filipino fans are expecting or hoping for a very aggressive Manny in the ring. Is this something that you’re training for, or are you just going in the ring to fight your fight, make the adjustments along the way as you have so successfully throughout your career?

 

F. Mayweather

If you’re basically asking what’s my game plan, my game plan is to win. That’s actually what my game plan has always been is to win.

 

S

A lot of the animosity from the Filipino fans towards you is not directed to you as a great boxer, but more as someone who can put an end towards a Filipino hero’s career. Do you honestly believe that you would put an end to a Filipino hero’s career?

 

F. Mayweather

Iyi, my thing is this. I’ve heard that we’re all God’s children, whether you’re American, Filipino, African, Dominican, Asian, we’re all God’s children. People are going to root for who they want to root for and simple and plain I’m pretty sure I’ve got Filipino fans that like me, and I’m pretty sure that you’ve got some black American fans that like Pacquiao.

 

I never try to focus on anything like that. My focus is to give the people what they really want to see. Just facing the facts. That’s what I’ve done throughout my career. He’s one of the last guys, he’s one of the last good fighters of this era. It’s a fight that has to happen, and I’m glad that the fight is happening.

 

S

How much strength and effort and support from family does it take to get you where you are right now?

 

F. Mayweather

Iyi, the support came a lot. I had a hell of a supporting cast to get to this point, before I became a professional. There’s this guy that I never talk about to anyone. I never say anything about him to anyone. And he’s doing extremely badly right now, not financially but health-wise. I believe he’s lost his memory, which hurts extremely bad. A guy by the name of Frank Brown, I’ve known him since I was the age of three.

 

He has supported me more than anyone. He has always said that, “Floyd, one day you will be the best fighter in the world.” He’s always taking me to church, taking me through different activities. He was like a grandfather to me. Frank Brown. When I used to fight, he would drive anywhere. It could be in Little Rock, Arkansas. He would drive from Grand Rapids, Michigan to come support me. He would sit in the room with me and say prayers with me.

 

He’s a guy that I would never forget, because he was there from the age of three until after I fought De La Hoya, because he’s up there in age now. He eventually lost his memory, so he’s at a home. He’s at an old folks’ ev. It really hurts, but I love that guy so much. I think about him all the time.

 

K. Swanson

Tamam, that’s our last question. Teşekkür ederim, herkes, Bize katıldığınız için. Floyd, any final comments?

 

F. Mayweather

I just want to tell everybody, thank you for all the stories, and all the articles you guys wrote. Çok teşekkür ederim. My team appreciates you all, as well as myself. Teşekkür ederim.
