Part two of our interview with Floyd Mayweather discusses what the boxer did during his nearly two year layoff from the ring and why he feels he gets a bad reputation from the media. Mayweather takes on Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday, Sept. 19 live on pay-per-view.

I was able to spend a lot of quality time with my kids. These are the years that are most important to me and most precious to my kids. These are their developmental years and it’s very important as a father that I spend quality time with my kids. During my time off, that’s what I was able to do. I got a chance to know myself a lot better.

On if his kids gave their approval on his return to boxing:

(Laughs) Of course. I’m daddy to the kids so no matter what I do my kids always support me.

On staying focused on the fight and not caught up in the distractions outside the ring:

The press tends to blow things out of proportion. There aren’t any distractions. My focus is on my fight. I had nothing to do with the alleged incident and my focus is solely on Marquez on the 19th.

On how hosting WWE Raw compared to his appearance at Wrestlemania 24:

It was an unbelievable experience. I’m thankful Leonard put it together for me and I had another great opportunity to have a platform to go out there and showcase my talent. We have a great relationship with the WWE that we hope to continue for many, many years. It was great working with Vince and Shane and I’m just glad to be a part of their family.

On why he doesn’t get more press attention for the positive things he does outside the ring:

I just think that’s how society is. They just tend to focus on the negative instead of the positive. Negativity sells I guess. You see a press release that comes out that says Mayweather’s house gets searched weapons, bulletproof vests and something else. They fail to tell you the guns were registered to my security and were legal weapons. They paint the picture that the weapons were my weapons. They weren’t my weapons. They talk about the bulletproof vests … I use that as a form of entertainment. The vests that they were talking about were giving to me by the police. Tell it like it is. If we being to focus on the more positive things like how I go out and feed the homeless and how I donated $250,000 to Grand Rapids so the kids could come and fight in the nationals. If I didn’t do that, they wouldn’t have had an opportunity to come out and pursue their dreams. These are the kind of things they don’t talk about.

Access Granted: Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Part I

In the eyes of Floyd “Money” Mayweather, “to be the man, you have to beat the man.”

And at 39-0, nobody has been able to beat the 32-year-old welterweight.

Mayweather makes his return to the ring after a nearly two-year layoff on Sept. 19 against Juan Manuel Marquez live on HBO PPV.

Marquez is no stiff himself with a 50-4-1 record.

Mayweather chatted with BET.com just two weeks before his epic return to the ring.

On training for his fight with Juan Manuel Marquez:

Training has been coming along great. Having a great training camp. I’ve had excellent sparing. Just looking forward to coming back and putting on a great show for the fans.

On if his rib injury is 100 percent:

100 percent. I had a freak accident and I gave my body a chance to heal. Come September 19th I’ll be ready to go.

On what he has seen on the tape of Marquez:

Well, everybody knows that I don’t watch film of no boxer. What I’m able to do … I have been blessed with a great talent and I’m able to adjust to anyone’s style once I step in the ring. I don’t watch no tape and I never have for any of my opponents. I leave that up to my Uncle Roger. No matter what Marquez brings to the table, we’ll be ready come September 19th.

On if his trainer Roger Mayweather has noticed anything on the tape:

No, not at all. My uncle will be able to devise a great game plan on that night and I’ll be able to go out there and execute.

On when he knew he was “ready to dance again” and return to the ring:

Actually it was the fans. It was the fans. No matter where I went the fans asked me the same question. They said ‘Floyd, when are you coming back, we truly miss you.’ I feel as though I miss my fans too. So both of those combined and I had been around the gym and I said if I’m going to be here I might as well do what I do.
