I'm trying to involve the fans and bring in a crowd where not only do they love boxing but they love me as a person.
When hecklers stand up, I get a mental jump for joy. It gives me something to get my teeth into - and the audiences love it.
There is nothing better than having your home crowd cheer you on and scream with you in big moments and get the crowd in the pulse of the game.
When you're literally staring at the person right in front of you, you're connecting with them on a personal level. I even jump into the crowd sometimes and perform with them, sing into the mic with them and share the experience with them.
Few comedians can go to their shows and have people yell out bits that they want to hear. It's like going to see your favorite band and yelling out your favorite songs and to say the words along with them.
To me, a good event is governed by the audience.
Rock 'n' roll is a participatory sport. It ain't passive. It ain't TV. Go out there and rock 'n' roll and dance and have fun.
I like talking; I like playing with the audience.
