He didn't even look how much money he had in the hand. He just gave it to him. And he says, this doesn't mean anything. He says, I'm not into money. He was never into that. So he was like a very, very kind of generous person. And I realized how generous he was. But he started his foundations then. He started giving money away. And he was always thinking about a bigger cost than boxing was. Yeah.

And... Then they also learned from him how he sells boxing through his personality. And so I wanted to do the same thing. So the purse went up from $2 million for a fight to $5 million for a fight, $10 million for a fight. It was all because of personalities and who draw the most. And so I wanted to do the same thing in bodybuilding.

So he was kind of an example for me for generosity and being smart and being beyond just the sport and really just beating up. Like you always say, there's a time where you beat up on guys and put them down, but there's a time where you lift up the whole sport. And this is the most important thing. I want to do the same thing. Okay, I want to pump up.

But then when I got more and more into life and the global thinking, I think people like, for instance, when I met my father-in-law, Sergeant Shriver, he taught me a lot about generosity, about service. and giving back to the community, giving back to your town and to your state and to your country in some way. And he was, of course, the president of Special Olympics.
