0:00

Nobody believes in

0:02

me before. And

0:04

I showed them what person

0:07

can accomplish with determination, with that,

0:09

believing in yourself and everything. And

0:12

I'm just starting. And

0:15

now, entering the

0:18

arena, here

0:20

is the pound for pound

0:23

king. So,

0:26

Panemo

0:31

Alvarez! My

0:33

vision changed my mind. I'm feeling

0:36

my best. I feel not just in

0:38

boxing, in life. Do you have

0:40

any fear when you fight today? I

0:43

never feel fear, really. What

0:48

is it you want your legacy to

0:50

be after that last match? One

0:52

of the best in the history of boxing. And

0:54

I'm gonna cry that

0:56

day. When you walk

0:59

into the room and hear all the

1:01

people screaming and the singing,

1:04

the song you put and everything, I'm

1:06

gonna miss that moment.

1:12

Hey, guys. We're here in a remote location

1:14

and we just interviewed Canelo, the greatest boxer,

1:17

arguably of all time. And it's been amazing

1:20

to see behind the scenes where he actually

1:22

trains some of his shoes, some of his

1:24

gloves. You've got the bag, you've got the

1:26

canelo right here, the logo. We've got his

1:28

shoes and gloves over here that are actually

1:30

drying, getting ready for a sparring session later.

1:33

And we've got the ring behind, so I'll show you really quick. Oh,

1:38

hey. It's pretty cool. And

1:41

one of the things that I was really impressed and inspired

1:43

about him was his commitment

1:46

and his passion for his sport, for

1:49

his family, for a team that he's

1:51

been with for a long time, and

1:53

for just the process of being a

1:55

champion. And he really talks

1:57

about not having the fear of... pursuing

2:00

your dreams and pursuing your passions, but loving

2:03

the process. Again, we're in this remote location.

2:05

He's got his pulse set up. He's got

2:08

a detailed regimen every single

2:10

day. Train, rest, run,

2:12

breath. You know, think about and

2:14

visualize. He's just getting into meditation.

2:16

So it's so cool to see

2:18

after nearly 20 years, almost

2:22

two decades of mastering his craft and being

2:24

at the top of his game, he's

2:27

learning meditation this year. And

2:29

he's talking about how it's changing

2:31

his mind. It's changing his life.

2:33

It's changing his ability to bring

2:35

the power to his fights by

2:39

adding more skills. So he's not

2:41

slowing down. He's only getting better.

2:43

He's only improving himself even more.

2:46

And I think it's really cool to see someone after

2:48

this many years who has made so much

2:50

money, hundreds of millions of dollars in his

2:52

career, all the businesses, all

2:55

the success, all the fame. He's

2:57

a king in his country. People

3:00

of Mexico love this man. It's so

3:02

cool to see that he's humble, to

3:04

see that he talks about love, that

3:07

he talks about his passion. And I

3:09

just think that's really cool. So we're here in

3:12

this location. It was an

3:15

amazing experience to watch him behind the scenes, to

3:17

connect with him. And I hope you

3:19

enjoy this interview. The first thing I wanna ask

3:21

you, you've almost been boxing for 20 years, almost

3:23

two decades. Yeah. Is

3:25

there a difference between how you trained

3:27

early on when you were a nobody

3:29

the first few years in your teens

3:31

versus how you train now? Mentally,

3:34

physically, is there a difference? If so,

3:37

what is that difference? Mentally, I think

3:39

is the

3:42

same mentality, the same

3:44

hungry. For

3:47

me, I train my

3:50

mind is always try to get more. Try

3:55

to get more history.

4:00

to my career and and I never

4:03

it's never enough for me really it

4:05

never enough for me I always trained

4:07

so hard because you

4:10

know I I started like that training

4:12

so hard because in my mind always when I

4:14

was kid I say I

4:17

want to be a champion and

4:19

then I accomplished that champion

4:21

and I say is something else

4:23

more is something else there

4:26

so I always my

4:29

mind is always never

4:32

enough for my mind right is I

4:34

always trained so hard and I

4:37

and I love boxing so much I enjoy

4:39

it I enjoy it they still enjoy it

4:41

you still enjoy it but it's almost

4:43

been 20 years right 20 years 19 professional

4:45

19 professional what is the three

4:48

greatest lessons

4:51

that boxing has taught you in almost

4:53

20 years of boxing is gonna be

4:57

very difficult to pick three lessons because

4:59

I think the

5:01

man I am right now I I

5:04

learned from from boxing because my whole

5:06

life I I give

5:09

my whole life to to boxing I

5:12

think boxing teach me everything

5:15

everything bad and good and

5:19

everything I think I think boxing made

5:21

me we made you yeah what

5:23

is the what is the lesson that you

5:26

would you would say to your younger self

5:28

with all the wisdom and experience you have

5:30

now if the only

5:32

thing I can I can say to

5:34

them like I'm like why you're 15

5:36

in front of my my son and

5:38

say you you you can do whatever

5:41

you want it just you don't need

5:43

to be able to to

5:45

have able to sacrifices

5:47

discipline and a hard work yes

5:50

and have a good mentality because

5:52

if you have that trees three

5:55

things discipline and

5:57

sacrifices and and hard

6:00

work. Hard work. But if you don't have

6:02

that mentality, it's gonna be very

6:04

difficult. How do you keep the hunger

6:07

alive inside of you for so long,

6:09

though? Because you were starting out as

6:12

a young man wanting to be a champion. You

6:14

became a champion. How do you

6:16

continue year after year to stay hungry and love

6:18

us so much? I

6:20

don't know. I don't know. I

6:23

always say because I love what I do. And

6:25

I have that passion on me. And I

6:27

love what I do and I enjoy it.

6:29

And I'm that kind of man. I'm that

6:32

kind of person say,

6:34

if I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna do 100%. No, in

6:36

the middle, no, 90%. I'm

6:41

100%. I always try

6:45

to do my best and try to do my

6:47

everything. And I think because I

6:50

love what I do. How

6:52

do you manage fear? Did you have a

6:54

lot of fear growing up as you started

6:56

fighting? And do you have any fear when

6:58

you fight today? I never feel

7:01

fear really in boxing.

7:03

I never feel how it's

7:05

like to feel that

7:08

fear. I always enjoy

7:10

it. I just

7:13

enjoy it a lot. My

7:15

favorite day, my favorite thing is

7:18

sparring days and a fight day.

7:20

I just enjoy it a

7:22

lot. I enjoy it and I

7:24

never have

7:27

that experience to feel

7:29

the fear or something. When you

7:31

became a champion, world champion, did

7:33

you feel fear to lose that

7:35

ever? No, really. No, never. Never

7:37

feel that fear. Why not? Did someone teach

7:40

you how to overcome fear? No, I don't

7:42

know. I always

7:44

say because I really

7:47

enjoy boxing. I really love boxing.

7:49

I really love being in

7:52

the ring fighting. I never thinking

7:55

about if this happened or not.

7:57

I always go with the mentality

7:59

to win and enjoy. Do

8:02

you ever, when you're preparing for a fight, do

8:04

you ever think about, well, what happens if I

8:06

get knocked down or if I lose? Will I

8:08

feel bad or? I

8:10

never think about lose. I

8:12

never think about lose. I always think

8:15

and train for the

8:17

win. Yes. And yes,

8:19

I do. I think about

8:21

if I get knocked out, how

8:23

I'm on a reaction and we train about

8:26

everything. Train it. If I

8:28

feel dizzy, what I'm going to

8:30

do, we always train about that.

8:33

We prepare ourselves for everything, of

8:35

course, but I never think

8:38

about losing. Wow.

8:41

What is the process like the

8:43

day of a fight for you mentally and emotionally?

8:45

How do you prepare for that fight? For me,

8:47

it's a normal day. For

8:49

me, I just. You have a cup of

8:51

coffee, relaxed, hang out? Yeah, relaxed, obviously very

8:53

relaxed. But for me, my

8:56

mind is a

8:58

normal day. Really? But the world is going

9:00

to watch you on this fight. I know. There's

9:02

so much money on the line. I don't think about that.

9:05

For me, it's normal. I'm going to do my

9:07

thing and that's it. Obviously,

9:11

I think I

9:17

put everything together that day. We

9:21

put in the whole training

9:24

camp. I put, okay, I'm going to do this,

9:27

I'm going to do that. We train for this.

9:30

But for me, it's a normal day. You

9:32

wake up at the same time. If

9:35

you see me in the locker room 20 minutes

9:39

before the fight, I'm listening,

9:42

music, chilling with

9:44

my team. So for me, it's

9:47

normal day. Are you not visualizing the

9:49

fight? Yeah, always. I

9:51

always visualize my fight in the

9:53

night. This happens,

9:55

I'm going to do this. How

10:00

much energy does it take from you

10:02

to visualize? There's a lot of energy

10:04

to train, to run every day, to

10:06

spar, to lift. But how

10:08

much energy to actually think at night

10:10

about what you're going to do in the

10:13

ring? I just think

10:15

I don't put so much

10:17

energy to think because

10:19

I just, I just, okay, I'm

10:21

going to do this and this. I

10:24

train for this and that's it.

10:26

For me, my

10:29

life routine is

10:32

not like I want to do

10:35

this or to stress

10:37

myself. It's relaxing. Wow, that's

10:39

beautiful. And

10:41

what do you think about after you win

10:43

a fight? When you prepare for months and

10:46

you win a big fight and the whole world is

10:48

watching, how does it make you feel? It's

10:50

the best feeling because you put

10:53

your life there, you

10:55

put everything in the training camp, you

10:57

left your family, you left everything for

11:00

that moment. For that moment, for the

11:03

win, you prepare yourself for the win

11:05

and it's the best feeling. Then

11:08

it's when you realize

11:11

everything, everything

11:15

you do, everything that sacrifices,

11:17

the discipline you put in

11:19

the gym, there

11:21

is the result. It's worth it. Yeah, yeah. Did you

11:23

ever doubt yourself growing up? Never. Like

11:26

self-doubt? Never in my life. How

11:29

did you learn that though? I don't know.

11:31

So many people in the world are insecure

11:33

about who they are, right? They doubt. I

11:35

never doubt about myself. Was that your parents,

11:37

your grandmother? I don't know. Did they teach

11:39

you how to put your ears? I don't

11:41

know. My mentality is always like, I don't

11:43

care who is there. I'm going

11:46

to achieve my goals no matter what. And

11:49

I started professional boxing when I

11:51

was 15 years old. So

11:55

sometimes my trainers, my

11:57

trainers, so

11:59

down. opponent and say, hey, it's too

12:02

strong and it's, it's

12:04

a dirty use all and I don't care.

12:07

I don't, I don't, I

12:09

don't, I don't really care. And then two rounds and

12:11

that. And you knock them out. Yeah. Do

12:14

you have, I mean, do you

12:17

ever have any insecurities outside

12:19

of boxing, like starting business

12:21

or, and some other ventures? Are you? No.

12:24

No. No insecurities. I

12:27

think the, the, the

12:30

priest time I jump

12:34

in the, in the bus and try to

12:37

sell ice creams and in the bus, I

12:39

feel a little, I

12:41

don't know insecure or I feel

12:43

a little shame because, you know,

12:45

I'm red hair freckles and everything.

12:48

And I feel

12:50

like a little shame and maybe

12:52

insecure. It's kind of like

12:54

five, six, seven years old. Yeah. Yeah. Five,

12:56

six years old. Something pops up. And then

12:58

I say, oh, nothing's

13:01

happened. And then I start

13:05

feeling good, but I think that moment I

13:07

feel like a little insecure because the

13:10

people saw me and say

13:13

something about me. I don't know. But

13:16

then I don't, I don't give up. So

13:18

like, so 25 years ago was the last

13:20

time you were insecure. Yeah. But

13:24

when you're starting business, cause you've got all

13:26

these businesses, if you've been building in Mexico

13:29

and USA as well, I, you

13:31

know, do you feel like, Oh, maybe

13:33

I don't understand business fully like everyone else

13:35

yet because I'm mostly a boxer. Do you

13:37

ever get worried about that? Worry?

13:40

Yes. But I know insecure. Okay.

13:42

Is different worry about, okay, I'm

13:45

going to do with the correct

13:47

persons, find the correct person and

13:49

partners, partners and everything, you know,

13:52

but never insecure because if

13:56

there are a lot of people being with business

13:58

and needs, but I I know that

14:00

I'm going to do whatever I want. And

14:03

I say, okay, I want to do this.

14:05

I'm going to find the correct person to

14:07

do it. So maybe

14:09

worry about to find

14:12

the correct people. Yeah, to make sure

14:14

it's good. Do you ever

14:16

feel, I mean, you're a legend and an icon

14:18

all around the world, but specifically in Mexico, right?

14:21

Mexicans love you. I

14:23

love visiting Mexico. Particularly my fiance is

14:25

from Mexico and people

14:29

love you there. Do you ever feel

14:31

a pressure to make

14:33

them proud or to do the right things? In

14:37

some point, yes. Really? In some

14:39

point, yes, because you know we have a huge

14:42

history in boxing in

14:44

Mexico. In some point,

14:46

yes. Some

14:52

time I say, you know, I always

14:56

do my best and I put my best in

14:58

there. So I

15:00

know my fans,

15:03

my true fans, they probably me

15:06

because they know I put

15:08

everything, everything there.

15:12

It's there people

15:15

who don't like,

15:18

but I know that they, I can't

15:22

do anything with those people. But

15:25

in some moment, yes, I feel like,

15:27

oh, I need to do this to

15:29

make my

15:33

fans happy. But then you

15:35

realize I put everything I

15:37

can in there. So they will

15:39

be happy. What is it you love

15:42

about Mexico and Mexican people

15:44

the most? Everything,

15:46

everything. Mexico is very unique. It's

15:49

very unique, you know,

15:51

the one or the

15:54

person, the service they give

15:56

you and the love. We

16:00

have a lot of places, beautiful

16:02

places in Mexico. I

16:04

think we have a lot of good

16:06

things in Mexico. The

16:10

culture, the people, the love is something that

16:13

I appreciate and really enjoy. You've

16:16

got a family, you've got kids. What

16:19

changed for you in boxing when

16:21

you started to have kids? Did something shift

16:23

inside of you? I

16:26

started having kids since I was

16:29

17 years old. So,

16:31

yeah, it changed my mind

16:34

a lot because then I

16:36

have responsibility of a big man. So,

16:44

very hard at the

16:46

beginning, but I know that I

16:48

have three jobs and

16:50

then went to train. Then went three

16:53

jobs and then went to train because

16:55

I have the best

16:57

for my daughter. That moment when I was

16:59

17 years old. What were those

17:01

jobs? What were those three jobs? Sell ice

17:03

creams. When you were 17? Yeah,

17:06

I had my dad, two of my brothers.

17:10

Wow. So, then go to train

17:12

and... Sell ice

17:14

cream? Yeah. Because you dropped out of

17:16

school, high school, correct? Yeah, when I was 15 years

17:19

old. You didn't like school? I

17:23

didn't. I

17:25

didn't. But maybe if I have

17:28

a different

17:30

life and different positions,

17:36

maybe I do like the

17:38

school, but for me it was different.

17:41

Speaking of the warmth, I heard

17:43

you talk about your grandmother really loving you

17:46

in a big way, growing up, your father,

17:48

your mother. I'm curious, could

17:50

you share the biggest thing you've learned

17:52

from your grandmother? Your father

17:54

and your mother. One lesson from each that

17:56

they taught you. I

17:59

think they... They

18:01

never surrender,

18:03

not everything. They never

18:05

surrender. Never. They

18:07

always hardworking. They

18:10

always, we love. I

18:14

think if you

18:16

walking in life with love, you're

18:20

gonna be good. Everywhere.

18:24

Everywhere. No matter what. If

18:26

you walking with love, you're gonna

18:28

be good in life. Have

18:30

you always had love in your heart or

18:33

have you ever had anger or resentment? I

18:36

think in some point, yes,

18:38

but I always have love in my heart

18:41

because I always, whatever

18:45

I do, I do with my heart. Right. When

18:48

you have love in your heart, but

18:50

you're a boxer and you're fighting

18:52

someone. I need to. It's like

18:55

an animal. If you

18:57

are whatever animal, you're

18:59

good, but if you need

19:02

to bring food for your family or you

19:04

need to take care of your family, you're

19:06

gonna do everything.

19:09

And fight. I'm

19:12

walking with love, but I'm a fighter. You

19:15

walk with love, but when you're fighting,

19:17

I'm a fighter. You're a fighter. Did

19:19

something switch in your mind when you had your daughter at

19:21

17? Did you become more

19:24

focused as a fighter or

19:28

did anything shift inside of you in terms

19:30

of I need to work harder or

19:32

was it the same type of routine? Same,

19:34

same. For me, I never

19:37

doubt about being a world champion. You

19:42

never thought. No matter what. Never doubt. Never

19:44

a doubt about it. Never a doubt about it.

19:48

My daughter comes and I say, even

19:50

more. Even more focus,

19:52

even more determinate

19:55

everything. I think My

19:58

daughter teach me a lot of things. Made

20:01

me. Put.

20:04

That. Extra? Really? To

Mentally. Emotionally, how are you able

23:38

Ah ask a lot of people

23:40

about the difference between success and

23:42

greatness. The shows called the School

23:44

of Greatness and I'm curious. What

23:47

is your definition of success vs.

23:49

Gradus, the seat of it to

23:52

say in espanol greatness, is a

23:54

word for greatness in in Spanish?

23:58

a vein this in a spine she's

24:00

like a lomé, the best,

24:02

lomé, the best. Okay.

24:06

What, in your mind, what is the definition

24:08

of greatness versus the

24:10

definition of success? Success,

24:13

I think to sex is in

24:16

life. You

24:18

do whatever

24:20

thing. If you

24:25

got success, that's a, but

24:28

a greatness. Like an accomplishment or

24:30

like a... Yeah, like a world

24:32

champion. Uh-huh. That's success. Yes. And

24:35

what's greatness in your mind? What

24:37

I, what I'm doing, that's

24:39

greatness. Go

24:41

out of your comfort zone

24:44

and do things

24:48

everybody says you're gonna, you

24:51

can't do it. I

24:53

think that's the difference and,

24:56

and, and, and in belief

24:58

and whatever you, you, you wanna

25:00

do. I think what

25:03

happened with me is nobody,

25:07

nobody believes in, in, in

25:09

me before because I'm too,

25:12

too sure for that weight

25:15

classes and this and that.

25:19

And I show them what

25:22

person can accomplish with,

25:25

with, with

25:30

that determination, with

25:33

that believing

25:36

yourself and everything. I

25:38

think, and

25:40

I, and I'm just starting. Right

25:43

now. Yeah. I'm just starting because... In,

25:46

in boxing, you're just starting in boxing now.

25:49

In boxing, I'm whatever

25:52

it is, the come

25:54

left like four or five years. I don't

25:56

know, but in my life, In

25:59

my Life. I deny one

26:01

I use one. Wanna

26:03

teach of. Other.

26:06

Both zero that at least they

26:08

need to put. Things.

26:11

Outside books into because you know that

Outside the book seen outside. Every

26:38

sport they do and.

26:43

If. You raise your life.

26:47

For. Twenty years Seen

26:49

both scene and then. A

26:52

day of the day. Five years later, you.

26:54

Going the same position with.

26:57

My. Dear.

27:01

You're worried about. My

27:04

my boxing trainer when I work out for

27:06

fun I'm not a trainer argue obviously but

27:08

when I pass for fun or few years

27:10

ago I said hey in all these you

27:12

two people were like. Boxing.

27:15

And fighting always people I said hey

27:17

would you ever trained me if someone

27:19

wanted to fight me he said I

27:21

would ensure a new and he was

27:23

Olympic medalist Olympic medalists said i went

27:25

travelling by thing. He said i

27:27

want to train your so why not a sad just. The.

27:29

Damage that people get with their the

27:31

head injuries. new now and he said

27:33

i've just seen too many fighters get

27:35

shit so many times and hurt themselves.

27:38

Has that ever worried you about just

27:40

so much care about of my yep

27:42

right. Has ever concerned you will

27:44

I Always I always. Does. Way

27:46

train I trained to. Don't get

27:48

so much heat or you very

27:51

good defense. Don't leave since so

27:53

much in the sense I don't

27:55

get out of when I get

27:57

keep this is bad. And.

28:00

I mean, this is poor. I

28:02

mean, I'm, but

28:07

I can, I'm never worried about it. I

28:10

worry about it because I train, I

28:12

don't, I don't, I

28:15

don't want to get hit, but at the end of

28:18

the day, I'm there. Yeah, it's part of the job.

28:20

When you see someone like Muhammad Ali

28:23

or other boxers who maybe have brain

28:25

injuries or older, does that ever worry

28:27

you or concern you? No. Yeah. No,

28:30

because, you know, it's what I love. And at

28:32

the end of the day, if

28:36

something happened, it is what it is. Right.

28:39

I had, I had- You can go in the staging.

28:41

And fall. Something's happened, you know? Yeah,

28:44

of course. I had Mike Tyson on

28:46

twice on my show and I had

28:48

Jake Paul on. I know they're fighting. I'm sure everyone's

28:50

asking you about it. I'm

28:53

curious, who

28:55

do you think would be a harder fight

28:57

for you right now? Mike Tyson or Jake

28:59

Paul? In a hypothetical scenario, who do you

29:01

think would be tougher for you? I

29:07

think, if

29:10

you put them together in the ring with

29:12

me, maybe

29:15

it's- Maybe both together. Maybe

29:17

it's gonna be a little

29:19

complicated. But one

29:21

or the other, they're not the same you think?

29:23

They're the same you think for you? Who do

29:26

you think would win between them?

29:30

It's hard to say, but you know, it's

29:33

risky for Mike Tyson. Risky? Why? Yeah,

29:37

because he's 57 and 58, I

29:39

don't know. And,

29:42

and it's, boxing is

29:44

no, it's no joke. It's

29:46

no joke. But,

29:50

you know, I

29:52

know, I get it. I get it. What

29:55

they, why they do this.

29:57

It's a business. Yeah, yeah. They're gonna

29:59

fight. with 18 ounces

30:03

with no bigger gloves. Yeah, yeah,

30:05

yeah. It's a business. Speaking

30:07

of business, you've been getting into

30:09

business more and more over the years, which I'm excited

30:12

to talk about as well. Real estate,

30:14

your own businesses, Canelo Energy, you know,

30:16

all these different brands that you're building.

30:19

What excites you the most about

30:21

business and entrepreneurship? And

30:26

is it a distraction to do

30:28

all that as well as fight ever? No,

30:30

no, no, no, it's a distraction because I

30:33

have my correct people

30:35

doing my team everything.

30:39

And I do what

30:41

I need to do for my business.

30:43

And I care about every business I

30:45

have. But I

30:47

like it. I enjoy doing

30:50

real estate. I go and

30:52

be in my drinks. And

30:55

everything I do, I really

30:58

enjoy it. Yeah. What is

31:00

your vision for your- My stations,

31:02

everything. You got a lot going

31:04

on. What is your vision for

31:06

your future after boxing? Is

31:08

it to be a business

31:10

leader in the world or what is the

31:13

main vision that you have for business? Yeah,

31:15

that's my goal is being

31:19

one of the best business man in the

31:21

world. Really? Yeah. Why does

31:24

that excite you so much after boxing? I

31:27

just- You love it. I

31:30

love to be involved in these kinds of things

31:35

and see how

31:37

they go big and big and big and

31:39

big, you know, starting with some

31:43

and then growing up. I

31:46

like it so much because when I

31:49

was young, I saw my brother Ricardo.

31:53

He put an ice cream store

31:57

with $5,000. And

32:00

we viewed

32:04

them five, six

32:06

months, like bringing people, being people,

32:08

being people. And then he

32:11

sell it for 30, $40,000. And

32:16

I saw him and I just started

32:19

learning. Started

32:21

learning and I really enjoyed that kind of things.

32:23

Well, that's beautiful, man. I've got three final questions

32:25

for you. But again, I want to thank you

32:27

for taking the time to do this. This has

32:29

been exciting. This

32:32

is a question I ask everyone towards the end

32:34

of my conversations. It's

32:36

called the three truths. So

32:39

it's a hypothetical question. So I want

32:41

you to imagine you get to live

32:44

as long as you want in life. It's

32:46

be 100 years old or 120, whatever it is, you get

32:48

to live as long as you want. You

32:51

have the career you want in boxing for the

32:53

next five, seven years. You become

32:55

a mega billionaire in business. You do everything you

32:57

want. You see your kids grow up.

33:01

But at the end of the day, it's the last day of

33:03

life. And

33:05

you only get to share three

33:08

lessons with the world from everything

33:10

you've learned about boxing and relationships

33:12

and love and business. What

33:15

three lessons would you share with the world on

33:17

your last day of life? I

33:27

think love is

33:30

a phrase one. Love.

33:36

I think love is

33:38

have a lot

33:40

of that three lessons I want to

33:42

say because love comes with limits,

33:45

respect and everything. But I think

33:48

love, determination

33:52

and believe

33:55

in yourself. Believe in yourself. How

33:57

do people who feel very good about you, believe

33:59

in yourself? insecure who

34:02

don't love themselves who don't have

34:05

any skills. I think everything comes from that.

34:07

How do they learn to believe in themselves though if

34:09

they don't have it? It's

34:12

very difficult because you

34:14

know it's difficult to

34:19

learn to have securing

34:22

yourself because they come with a

34:24

lot of problems not from

34:27

them from the past generation.

34:29

Yes. You know from them it's for

34:31

the past generation they have a lot

34:33

of troubles. From their parents. That's why

34:36

you're acting like because

34:38

you have problems

34:40

that not your problems.

34:43

Yes. Your generation.

34:45

So it's difficult. I think with meditation

34:48

it's possible. It's possible. Because

34:50

you had a lot of past problems in your you

34:52

know in your family in

34:54

the past but how did you? In

34:57

not your problems. Right. But meditation teach

34:59

you that. Yes. I think meditation is

35:02

one of the best things I learned. That's

35:05

beautiful man. Because when

35:08

you're walking with that

35:11

thing you carry from your

35:13

past you're acting like you're

35:15

normal but not you're carrying with

35:17

problems. From the past yeah. And you

35:19

have a lot of problems too because you you're

35:22

working with that. Yes. Always.

35:28

You're acting from the past too. Yeah. I've

35:30

got one final question for you but

35:32

before I ask it I want to

35:34

acknowledge you Canelo for your generosity for

35:37

your passion for your love for

35:40

your country for the sport for people

35:43

and just how you show up with consistency

35:45

in your life. It's inspiring to watch a

35:48

champion be a good person

35:50

as well. I know you give back to charities

35:52

in your country and you do so much good

35:54

so I acknowledge you for

35:56

the loving man that you are in this

35:59

world. Thank you. My

36:01

final question, when

36:04

you're on top of this ring with

36:07

your hands raised in the flag of

36:09

Mexico behind you on your last fight,

36:12

four, five, six, seven years

36:14

away, and it's your last moment

36:16

to stand up and say

36:19

Viva Mexico after a win, what

36:22

is it you want your legacy

36:25

to be after that last match? One

36:28

of the best in the history of boxing. And

36:33

I'm gonna cry that day.

36:36

That day? Yeah, a lot. Why?

36:38

Because I'm gonna miss boxing so much. You're missing. Yeah.

36:41

That moment when you walk into

36:44

the ring and hear all

36:47

the people screaming and the singing,

36:49

the song you put and everything, I'm

36:53

gonna miss that moment.

36:55

Better. That's life. That's

36:57

life, man. You're a legend, man. Appreciate

36:59

you. Thanks, brother. That was

37:01

a wrap. You're welcome. You're welcome.

37:04

You're welcome. We

37:07

just finished with Canelo, amazing time. The

37:09

English is getting better every time I see

37:11

them do interviews, so it was really cool

37:14

to watch him talk about love was one

37:16

of the main things, how to have love

37:18

in your heart for your sport,

37:20

for your family, for your country, for

37:23

the business that you're a part of. But he talked

37:25

about love a lot, which I thought was really cool. To

37:28

see someone almost 20 years in a

37:30

profession love his sport

37:32

and his career just as much

37:34

and have just as much hunger

37:37

as when he started almost 20 years ago is

37:39

really inspiring to see. And

37:41

to see how he keeps his family close,

37:44

his team very close. And he doesn't have

37:46

a lot of distractions. He

37:48

likes to train in an isolated location

37:50

where there's not a lot of distractions. He

37:52

likes to live in a location where he's

37:55

not distracted, but just have the most important

37:57

things in his life at

37:59

all times. So I think it's really

38:01

cool that at this age, this season

38:03

of life, he is continually showing up

38:05

training harder than ever to be

38:08

the best he can be and he has no

38:10

fear. He's not afraid to lose. He's

38:13

not afraid to get hurt. He

38:15

understands that comes with part of his

38:18

career and what he's up to, but

38:20

it doesn't hold him back from being

38:22

determined to succeed and do something beautiful

38:24

and great with his life. And

38:28

what he said at the end, which

38:30

I thought was really cool, what's it going to feel

38:33

like when you win that last fight and you decide

38:35

it's time to retire? Where

38:37

he was reflecting on how that would look after 20,

38:40

25 years plus of a career to then

38:43

feel all the emotions rushing

38:46

in on that last fight.

38:48

So have a beautiful time, amazing

38:50

inspiration with the greatest of all

38:52

time, Canelo. I

38:55
