FLOYD MAYWEATHER reckons he is solely responsible for keeping boxing in the spotlight.
Many critics claim the sweet science is in decline with a lack of big bouts and the rapid rise of mixed martial arts turning fans away.
But Money, who faces Shane Mosley in Las Vegas on Saturday night, believes the fact he is still around proves the sport is alive and kicking.
Mayweather said: "People fail to realise that Floyd Mayweather's keeping the sport going. I'm the face of boxing.
"You put in the hard work, dedicate yourself and put together the best team, so you're going to get the biggest and best payday.
"Of course you have to have great results once you get inside the ring. I've always had great results.
"The ultimate goal in boxing right now is to find a fighter that can beat Floyd Mayweather — and it's not going to happen."
Mayweather has often been accused of dodging fighters that could threaten his unbeaten record.
Mosley, 38, is expected to provide him with a stiff test when they go toe-to-toe at the MGM Grand.
But that has not stopped the bookies picking Mayweather as the clear favourite.
And the 33-year-old insists he cannot be blamed for the fact so many people are backing him to win the 41st fight of his career.
Mayweather said: "I can't help that it's so one-sided they say the fight is boring. That's not my fault.
"I'm just that good. Some fighters are God-gifted and I just happen to be one of those athletes that are exactly that."
