00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: That?

73
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: Was? That was an immensely popular sporting event. I'll never

74
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: forget that Friday night, everybody's jammed into a bar to

75
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: watch you fight Jake Paul.

76
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: Did you have any idea that you would have.

77
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: The reception that you got, not just from the crowd

78
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: that night, but from people who are excited to see

79
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: you step in the ring again.

80
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: Well, I did expect it, but not that big. To

81
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: be honest, no one expected to be that big. Come on,

82
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 4: there's nobody expected that. I didn't expect i'd be. I'd

83
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: be lying if I said I did. You know my

84
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: ego is not that. I'll be lying if.

85
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: And now this one, you've got to think, you know

86
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be massive. Nothing against Jake Paul, but

87
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: I think of like two of the biggest names in

88
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 3: boxing over the last forty years, Floyd Mayweather versus yourself,

89
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: a complete and in total contrast of styles.

90
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

91
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: I think it will be awesome.

92
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: When I'm growing up right in the in the late eighties,

93
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 3: early night of these Mike Tyson fights were an event, right,

94
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: Like I beg my dad, we've got to get the

95
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: pay per view. I got to watch Mike fight. It

96
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: feels like boxing isn't where it was. What needs to

97
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: happen for that sport to get back to that point?

98
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: Hey, the best need to fight the best. That's all

99
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: it needed to be said. Number one need to fight

100
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: Number two, the best to fight the best. Just like listen,

101
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: you be so crowfor did right? They fought the best

102
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: to do best foot.

103
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 1: Do you follow the sport closely? Now?

104
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: I'm trying to, but it gets it gets tricky on me.

105
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: No one fighting bit of meat. It has a lot

106
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: to do with promotion. The best, you fight the best

107
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,480

00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: the best.

110
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 3: No question about it, no question about it. So when

111
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: you fight Floyd Mayweather, will that be it? Or do

112
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 3: you see yourself fighting after that one?

113
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: I really don't see myself doing it again. But you know,

114
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: anything's possible. You know, people just I don't miss so
