It's sad when a MMA fighter talks to an NFL or NBA player about how much money they make. That's embarrassing. You tell them how much you make and they laugh.
We're professional athletes. I feel like I got treated better in college wrestling. I had a physical therapist on hand at all times, no matter what, when I was in college.
When I came on the tour, I thought, 'Why don't they treat tennis players the same way they look at football players?' Because I've got news for you: when they are on the pitch, they are not saying, 'Hello, how are you?' out there.
Let's face it, there's just different access that young boys have to sport and teams than girls.
If Serena Williams played the men's circuit she'd be like 700 in the world.
Few would deny that blacks have become very dominant in athletics: football, basketball, track, now dominant in tennis and dominant in golf.
Football is the biggest sport in Norway for girls and has been for years, but at the same time, girls don't have the same opportunities as the boys.
For too long now, cricket has got all the attention and money. Look at how much financial help cricket gets from the sports federations.
Black people dominate sports in the United States. 20% of the population and 90% of the final four.
I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example, athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education.
