Here's what the 12-time world champ had to share with ABC News' Robach that aired on Monday.
''Oh, my gosh. Please forgive me. Please forgive me,'' the 62-year-old pleaded--both to America as a whole and to his daughter Brooke Hogan, whose black boyfriend was the focus of his racist attack. ''I'm not a racist but I never should have said what I said. It was wrong. I'm embarrassed by it. I was upset about something that happened between her and her boyfriend. People need to realize that you inherit things from your environment. And where I grew up...Port Tampa...was a really rough neighborhood, very low income. And all my friends, we greeted each other saying that word.
He added, ''I was to the point where I wanted to kill myself. Just because a person makes a mistake, just don’t throw them away. You don’t throw good people away. People get better every day.''
