Floyd Mayweather and Andre Berto made their grand arrivals at MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Tuesday prior to their fight this Saturday.

Both pugilists had something to say to the public ahead of their contest, which is set to be Mayweather’s last.

Floyd Mayweather:

“To become great, you have to follow greatness. To become a great leader you have to be a great follower. I want every fighter to stay focused and on a parallel path.

“I’ve done a lot for this sport. Everyone used to be focused on heavyweights. My ultimate goal was to have everyone focus at whatever weight class I was, in my weight class. I’ve always been able to make noise at whatever weight class I was in.

“We want Andre to believe in himself and his skills. Every fighter that I’ve ever faced had the remedy to beat me, but the results have always been the same.

“I don’t overlook anyone, he’s a tough competitor, and we will just have to see what happens on Saturday.

Andre Berto:

“I had a tremendous training camp. I am in better shape than I’ve been in years. I’m looking forward to making history on Saturday.

“I don’t know anything about (breaking) any code that Mayweather has. When I want to walk through a door I just break through.”
