I think a lot of people like to gamble, and they don't want to go to the casino to gamble. Sometimes they want to do it in the privacy of their home. They can't concentrate the way they want to in a gambling casino.

More quotes by Larry Holmes
Kenny Norton hit me so hard that it still hurts. Now there was a case of two fighters who did not like each other.
Larry Holmes
I'm happy with my career but I could have been happier if I could have been treated like a champion should have been treated because management and fighters take advantage of fighters.
Larry Holmes
I don't like Larry Merchant. He thinks he knows everything about a sport that he was never in. He walks around with papers and studies what he writes, he just pisses you off.
Larry Holmes
When you constantly hear people talking about going the distance, going the distance, you can't help but wonder about it. I learned a lesson: next time I will fight my fight without that doubt.
Larry Holmes
Boxing is already stable, as far as the opportunity to fight, opportunity for fighters to step inside the ring and make some money - I think that's OK, that's fairly legit. I just think fighters need to be represented when it comes down to making sure the i is dotted and the t is crossed.
Larry Holmes
Mike Tyson always had a big heart, but one of his problems is that he's short. And he's got kind of a personal attitude. But that don't make him a great fighter.
Larry Holmes
This is the lying thieving mother who cut me $500,000.
Larry Holmes
I don't know if I have any regrets, I have had a pretty successful life. I have learned good, bad, and ugly.
Larry Holmes
I don't think boxing needs to be regulated. I think boxing needs to have a complaint board. And I think the complaint board should be able to look into boxing situations - as far as if you're getting what you should be getting, whether you're being managed, not being managed, etc.
Larry Holmes
Everyone still wants to see [Floyd] Mayweather and [Manny] Pacquaio fight. When the talks start though, it always seem like it is all about Mayweather, and I think the people hate that.
Larry Holmes
Don King was good to me through my years as champion, but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. He's a wheeler dealer and you've got to be careful. He's a great con artist.
Larry Holmes
I cursed [Larry Merchant] out once, and I told him that he was a phony.
Larry Holmes
I always enjoy myself fighting in Mississippi. I enjoy myself fighting anywhere.
Larry Holmes
I achieved something once again, I think we all want to put a mark on life. I dream, and my dreams always come true. I dreamed I was the heavyweight champion of the world. I am the heavyweight champion of the world.
Larry Holmes
Set a goal and make a commitment to meet that goal. Do the best you can, but never forget your roots, never forget where you came from. After you have succeeded, look back and see if there are others that you might help to achieve what you have accomplished.
Larry Holmes
Tyson is a lot better than I thought, a lot better. People can talk about Spinks all they want... Tyson is the true champion.
Larry Holmes
You can't put those guys like Marciano or anyone else in with today's class of fighters.
Larry Holmes
It wasn't about Larry Holmes, if I would have fought a brother I wouldn't have gotten the money I got. Give me 10 black guys and I make eight dollars. Give me Gerry Cooney and I make $10 million.
Larry Holmes
Oliver McCall was someone who I never really got to know too well, and he had some well-publicized problems.
Larry Holmes
We put our life on the line to fight for them, put on a show and these guys take our money so whatever happens to Bob Arum, Don King or anyone else is fine with me.
