"I don’t do debt. Me and debt don’t get along. A lot of times you hear about guys who bought a brand new car, buying a big old house.
I’m going to invest in my body. I pay for a particular type of training; I pay for a particular type of chef; I pay for a particular type of sleeping habits."
Furthermore, he added:
"If somebody’s going from $7 million a year … They stop playing football, and now they’re working a corporate job. Let’s say they’re starting to get $100,000. Seven million to $100,000 … That is a $6.9 million difference."
