So 20 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: coming up through the amateurs, got a chance to know 21 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: Roger Boy his uncle, and we were friends for many years. 22 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: And actually I used to come back and forth from 23 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: DC to Vegas and he used to work with me, 24 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: and he always used to talk to be talking about 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: my nephew, my nephew, my nephew. So, um, I was 26 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: in Vegas one year and em Floyd came through and 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: I think we might have been like thirteen years old, 28 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: and Em Floyd was the same way he he was 29 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: until this day. This is you know, full of joy, 30 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: just always flashy, played boy. He was that way. He 31 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: was that way of thirteen years old. And then, um, 32 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: so we got a chance. He was actually in Vegas 33 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: for fight I think was a Tyson flight. We got 34 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: a chance to meet and you just had some good dialogue. 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: Like I said, he was a young there. And then 36 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: we kept in contact, you know, as I was coming 37 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: back and forth to Vegas and and um, when he 38 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: was getting ready to turn pro, Roger you know, suggested, hey, 39 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: once you come during the team and it kind of 40 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: all started there. And that was in like when he 41 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: moved from Grand Rapids to Vegas. Yeah, so you service 42 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: cu CEO and financial manager of Floyd. What's that journey 43 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: and experience has been, like I mean, arguably the greatest 44 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: fire of all time, unblemished records. So I'm sure there's 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: been a bunch of money rolling in and a bunch 46 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: of crazy experiences talked to us about some of that. Man, 47 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: it's it's been an incredible journey. Um, But I didn't 48 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: do it by myself. I had a wonderful team still 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: had that same team, and I have a great partner 50 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: in Al Hayman, you know, so that's made the transition very, 51 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: very smooth. Al is one of the most smartest guys 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: in the entire world. Harvard graduate, you know, and so 53 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: we worked closely hand in hand day by day and 54 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: in you know, managing an incredible portfolio like Floyd Mayweather. 55 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: You know, it's just again it's a tremendous task, but 56 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: you know, we are Floyd has been a tremendous sacrifice, 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: and but it's been an incredible journey. You're credited with 58 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: helping fighters keep more of the proceeds than they were 59 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: able to do in the past. Where did that business 60 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: acroman come in? Because that's one thing to me. I mean, 61 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: the big guys get a bunch, but just as far 62 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: as everybody kind of eating you've been instrumental and guys 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: being able to get more than they normally did. And 64 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: that's that's one of the men Al's model has been 65 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: from day one is that the fighters deserve the line 66 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: share of the money because you know, for so long 67 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: there have been two guys in the business who controlled 68 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: the entire playing field. That was Bob Aaron Don King 69 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: and and unfortunately, you know, a lot of fighters um 70 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: had got taken advantage of, you know, and um, um, 71 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: that's not my opinion, that's what know. They And so 72 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: we had the philosophy that we wanted to change the 73 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: entire mindset, you know, let the fighters, because the fighters 74 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: are one that is going out there, risking in their 75 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: lives and putting everything on the line. So they deserve 76 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: the line share of the money. And that's kind of 77 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: where it all started. And and you see now that 78 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: especially like in Al's case, you know, we we work 79 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: hand in hand with a number of great fighters in 80 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: the industry, and everybody's happy, you know, because they have 81 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: a tremendous platform and they're making the most money that 82 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: they've ever made. And and again they have people who 83 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: are behind them who are instrumental in guiding their career, 84 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: you know. So the whole objective, like a guy like 85 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: Earl Spence for an example, is that you you go 86 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: out there and you you you fight the biggest and 87 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: best fights, but you have to think big picture post boxing, 88 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: you know. And that's what Floyd has been. He has 89 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: definitely been the leader by at because we put him 90 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: in a position where again, not only did he make 91 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: over a billion dollars in the sport, but um, he 92 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: has nine figures in the bank. He gets a seven 93 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: figure check every month for the rest of his life. 94 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: And he still looks you know what I'm saying. He 95 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: was able to go fifty and old and have an 96 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: illustous career and be able to walk away, walk away 97 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: with all his falconies at a young age, you know, 98 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: forty two years old, you know. And he has the 99 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: ability to go off and do anything that he wants 100 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, and and everything is paid for, Everything 101 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: is paid for, beautiful, And so tell me this maybe 102 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: other promotions. Um, looking back at it, looking back at 103 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: when y'all were starting and where it is today, what 104 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 1: was the vision? The vision was Floy's vision. He wanted 105 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: to be his own boss, want to be his own 106 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: bosson and he's always talked like that from day one, 107 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, because he had saw so many you know, 108 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: so many fighters who had paid the before him, that 109 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: had gotten taken advantage of, you know, so he didn't 110 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: want to do that. You know. He wanted to surround 111 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: himself with smart people and be able to make good, 112 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: sound decisions and set itself up for you know, post boxing, 113 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: where he didn't want to end up in a situation 114 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: like fighters before him that you know, so many of them, 115 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: they had given their entire lives to the fans, you know, 116 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: but then they didn't have anything to show forward after 117 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: their careers were over, and most of them were not 118 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: able to you know, speak, you know, and then again 119 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: their brains all. You know. Yeah, it's been so unfortunate, 120 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: and he wanted to be able to set a positive 121 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: example for the younger generation because you know, hey, you 122 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: can you can come into the sport, surround yourself with 123 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: a good team and be positive and then set yourself 124 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: up for the rest of your life. Leave with your money. 125 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: Attack transferring to Tank Davis, who was a guest of 126 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: ours during the quarantine, to come a long way since 127 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: his two thousand seventeen splashed on the scene, talk to 128 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: us about some of his ups and deals and used 129 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: to the maturity you've seen to him as not only 130 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: as a fighter, but as a man as well. That's 131 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: a great question, matt Um. You know when Tank first um, 132 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: he first got signed to us, you know, being from 133 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: the Baltimore area, I'm from d C. So I know 134 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: the things that he's experienced and coming from the background 135 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: and he's come from and you know, you oftentimes your 136 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: product of your environment, because that's all that you know. 137 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: And so our our goal, envision was to remove him 138 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 1: from that situation. Him and his family, especially his mom, 139 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: you know, as they had they had was building a 140 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: close bond, you know together they had been through so 141 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: many things as a kid, you know, when he was 142 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: a youngster, him and his brothers and be able to 143 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: remove him out of that situation and show him a 144 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,679 Speaker 1: different side of life. And that was for its sole 145 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: objective is to remove him out of that environment because 146 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: he was such a meen this talent, and being in 147 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: that environment, all you're gonna be is subjective to the 148 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: same kind of things because the people are still doing 149 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: the same things. And you guys, see that tell us 150 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: how you know, people he was boxing with growing up 151 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: were dropping like flies. His friends were dying everywhere. And 152 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: it's still been happening. It's still been Yeah, And I'm 153 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: so proud of him because again, you know, he's made 154 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: definitely over the last couple of years, last two years. 155 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: You know, he's had some missteps along the way, just 156 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: like any any young any young athletes, and all of 157 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, has this instant stardom and then 158 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: making millions of dollars and so they don't make good 159 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: sound decisions. But I can honestly say Floyd has been 160 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: a great, great role model in that aspect for him 161 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: because he's actually been in those similar situations, you know, 162 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: and going through that as being a young fighter, and 163 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: he made something. He made some experience, i mean, some 164 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: um mistakes along the way, but he learned from those mistakes, 165 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: and he learned at the right time. Time, He caught 166 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: he got it all together at the right time where 167 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: he was able to take control of his entire career, 168 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: you know, before he had messed up really bad and um. 169 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: And that's what we've been able to do with Tank 170 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: and and Ford to show him because he's been through 171 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: those similar things that look, look, this is how you 172 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: deal with this. Don't put yourself in this situation because 173 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: this is gonna lead to this. Watch the women, watch 174 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: this and that because you know, you know, keep keep 175 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: the people who are down with you your day ones 176 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: as close as possible, but you're gonna lose people along 177 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: the way. You know. Loyalty is everything, and that's the 178 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: that's the great bond of me and Freda Stabbish because 179 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: you know, coming up, you know, it was all about 180 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: I was focused. You know, I'm still I was still young, 181 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: young myself, but you know I was working twenty hours 182 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: and twenty hour days, seven days a week for fifteen 183 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: years straight. You know. Our rejective was getting getting to 184 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: the finish line, you know, and we were focused on, 185 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, the goal in hand, and that was being 186 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: in control of his own career, making good decisions, you know, 187 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: and taking it from their setting a positive example for 188 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: all these other fighters. I'm I'm a I'm a big 189 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: time boxing fan. And I said this after tank last fight, 190 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: and I impressed it with the knock. I said, now 191 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: you see when you take him by that environment, and 192 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: he locked in to training and away from all the 193 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: nonswers how great he can be. And I had to 194 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: say that because a lot of people didn't know what 195 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: Take had been through. But I knew the shift he 196 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: had made because I could tell how he was hyper 197 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: path for the fight, you know what I mean, And 198 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: I've seen it, and I said that on Instagram. I said, 199 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: when you're taking by the environment, you put him around 200 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: the right people and the right training, this kid is 201 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: gonna be real scary man. And he was able to 202 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: see that. You couldn't have said that any better. And 203 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: that's why we've been very impressed with him, because Floyd's 204 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, gold was to get him out of that 205 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: environment and show that you could come to Vegas, you 206 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: could lock in what's your team, because this is all 207 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: what it is about, is the preparation, the mental preparation, 208 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: you know, to get ready for these big fights. And 209 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: this is how you handle the pressure, This is how 210 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: you handle the media. You know, you have zero distractions 211 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: out here in Las Vegas, and now when it's time 212 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: to go to war, you can go handle your business. 213 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: Because I think you said some very interesting and unknosed 214 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: former athletes. We know this too. The fight is kind 215 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: of the prize but there's so much mental that goes 216 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: into it. How much would you say is mental? We 217 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: think it. I mean, once you get to the NBA, 218 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: we kind of feel like it's nine percent mental to 219 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: be able to avoid and stay away from other distractions 220 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: to focus on the task in hand. Would you say 221 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: it's similar in body? I would say the same. They 222 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: not about about, you know, and that's you know, when 223 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: you got a guy like Floyd who's leading by example, 224 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: and that's how he's always man. He always keep his composure. 225 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: That's when impressed me that that the whole the mental 226 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: makeup of him is just I've never seen nothing like that. 227 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: That dude is able to focus under any circumstances. And 228 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: he when it comes to his job, he takes his 229 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: job very very seriously. You know, when it comes to 230 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: family friends, he's like, nope, y'all, y'all deal, y'all get 231 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: at the air. I gotta focus on my job because 232 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: this is how we eat, you know. And and that's 233 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: that's kind of he's always led by example, and he's 234 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: done a tremendous job with guiding Tank in that way. 235 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: You know. That's why it's it's like that bond that 236 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: those two have. It's just and that's what so to me, 237 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: what's so impressive about Floyd, especially in the day and 238 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: age where it's just so many distractions and so many 239 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: people get once they get to the top, they get 240 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: tired of it, or they want to find something, or 241 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: they want to wrap, or they want to play basketball, 242 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: they want to do some other ship. That was the 243 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: one thing that impressing me with Floyd was just his 244 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: mental discipline and focus to be the greatest the whole 245 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: entire time period still period. It's so crazy that y'all 246 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: mentioned that, because there have been times where you know, 247 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: like especially early on, you know, when he first got 248 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: his big check, you know, um, especially the very first 249 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: pay per view fight, like after the Oscar fight, and 250 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: I can I can recall this on Saturday night, you know, 251 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: he gets to check and it's time to go to 252 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: the bank on Monday morning, and you know, mostly everybody's thinking, oh, 253 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: we're getting going on vacation, but it's like, we ain't 254 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: going nowhere. You're talking about we're going to the gym. 255 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: And that's just been his whole mindset. After hundreds of 256 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: millions of dollars, you know, he's the one that again, 257 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: he stayed always stayed locked in like he and his 258 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: work ethic has always shown that. Again, no matter how 259 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: much he's maybe, he always trained and thought like he 260 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: was broke and it always kept him hungry. You know, 261 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: I love the last Tank fight Lio Santa Cruise fight. 262 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: What was what was y'all thinking going into that fight? 263 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: It was a big fight for him and what what 264 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: was what was your thinking going into the fight for him? 265 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: It was a huge fight. It was Tank's first pay 266 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: per view fight. He's fighting a tremendous champion and Leo 267 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: Santa Cruz a four division world champion. And you will 268 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: hear the critics out they're saying he was too small 269 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: and he was that, but that's just because you know, 270 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: jealousy plays a big role in everything everything. You know, 271 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: we knew it was or they project their fears on you, 272 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: like I'm worried about this, So let me try to 273 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: make you like that's not that. We knew that that 274 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: was a pathway that would lead to you know, him, 275 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: Tank established himself as a as a pay per view star. 276 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: You know, he still has a ways to go, but 277 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: it was it was a great segue because again Leo 278 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: Santa Cruz was a four division world champion and recognizing 279 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: all the boxing as an excellent fighter. And we knew 280 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: that he you know, he was gonna put his country 281 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: on his back and he was coming to bring it. 282 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: Was coming to bring it, and he showed you that. 283 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: It was a terrific fight, you know, with a lot 284 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: of back and forth the first few rounds and then 285 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: Tank to set him up and hit him with the 286 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: big shot that obviously went viral. You know that was 287 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: especially that of a bro man. We we didn't with that. 288 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: That was the one when they posted, right, they had 289 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: us film ourselves kind of watching the fight. Women knockout happened. 290 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: It was incredible. Everybody was comment on that Brown everybody, magic, everybody, everybody. 291 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: But that's what you want to see in boxing, Like 292 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: you don't see too much of that, especially from a 293 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: smaller guy, you know, with so much power. You know, 294 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: everybody like what Tank Davis, Tanking Davis, But y'all don't 295 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: know the Tank Davis we know, and and the power 296 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: that he showed that fight to get that knockout. You know, 297 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: people want to see knockouts. You don't see that that 298 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: much these days, not even in heavyweights. That's exactly why 299 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: Jack that he's the most exciting fighter in the entire sport, right, 300 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, because he has the ability to to connect 301 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: with this younger generation. And that's why in his case 302 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: that you know, they's he's been through a lot of 303 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: the things that most of our culture understand, you know. 304 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: So he's a very very relatable person. That's the dog. 305 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: That's why they gravitate to him. They come from everywhere 306 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: to support this kid. And again, he has a style. 307 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: You know, in today's generation, everything is like right now, 308 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: and he has that the style where he gets the 309 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: fans exactly what they want to see and being h 310 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: you know, being a pay per view, being involved in 311 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: pay per view and people are paying that money. He said, 312 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: that's what they want to see that and he gives 313 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: them excitement just like and I'm not comparing the two, 314 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: just like Mike Tyson was when he was much younger. 315 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: And that's what I love about Tank is that you 316 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: know when he comes to when he steps up in 317 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: that ring, he ain't gonna play with it. He ain't 318 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: gonna play with he ain't gonna fill you out. You know, 319 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: He's coming there to knock your head all the way off. 320 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: I was as I was at last fight here in 321 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: the landing.

It wasn't 326 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: the best performance, but everybody came out to support him. 327 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: And it ain't like that in Atlanta.

We're in Black Hollywood, man in 342 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: black Hollywood. What should we expect this weekend? What kind 343 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: of problem does us pose outside of the size of vantage. Well, 344 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: the size advantage, it means a lot. It means, it 345 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: does mean a lot. And you know, especially like if 346 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: you you saw them at the press confidence or you've 347 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: seen any of the pictures with them to stand, you know, 348 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: next to each other. You know, he that reminds me 349 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: that she reminds me of Tyson. Remember Tyson always had 350 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: to look at his people a little Barrios is six 351 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: inches taller, he has a much longer reach, he has 352 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: very good speed, and he has excellent power, and he's 353 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: a much bigger fighter. You know. So it's a very 354 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: dangerous fight. And that's why Tank you know, he understands 355 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: that it's a tremendous challenge. But you know, that's what 356 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: defining his legacy is all about. And there's no other 357 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: fighter out there that can do what he's doing right now. 358 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: You know here it is that he's he his last 359 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: fight against Santa Cruz was that a hunting thirty pounds, 360 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: and he's moving up two way classes two way classes. 361 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: You know, that's just kind of like walk around it 362 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: that way though, right, yeah, yeah, exactly, And you know, um, 363 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: but what has allowed him to do is the show 364 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: these this this younger generation that you put your mind 365 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: doing anything, and you know he wants to be different 366 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: and set a good example because there was a criticism 367 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: from from the haters out there, you know that Santa 368 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: Cuse was you know, much smaller.

And with Chad, he's the greatest tame A 521 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: good friend of mine' been knowing him for years. And 522 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: what he used to do when actually when he was 523 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: playing football, he used to come out to Vegas once 524 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: in a while and he used this far. You know, 525 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: he always wanted to He always had an infinity for 526 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: the love of the sport and he wanted to stay 527 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: connected to the sport. And um, so the opportunity came. 528 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: We was gonna when Floyd told me he wanted to 529 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: do this, this exhibition with logan. Um we wanted to 530 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: be creative and bring something else, you know, to the table, 531 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, another type of exhibition. And then I reached 532 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: out to Chat and I was like offering him the opportunity. 533 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 1: He was like, heck, yeah, yeah, outside of the outside 534 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: of getting up here. Yeah, one of the majority of 535 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: the raims outside he was all balanced when that happened, 536 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, but he had fun with it. Was a 537 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,239 Speaker 1: great opportunity. And actually we just spoke yesterday. He's like, Yo, 538 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: hit me up. I'm with it because he say, good dude, 539 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: solid brother, solid brother. April. Okay, that's right. You made 540 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: your you made your debut on Instagram posting the picture 541 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: saying Floyd made me do it. Talk to me about that, 542 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: but then also what you've learned of the power of 543 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: social media since then through promotions and just kind of 544 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: showing the world what's going on. That's a great question, 545 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: mat because you know, early on obviously from the business aspect, 546 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, me and al are locked into so many 547 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: different things, you know, on the day to day base. 548 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: So when when social media kind of evolved, you know, 549 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: being a little old school and they called me the 550 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: old head, you know, um, I then't initially kind of 551 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: wasn't receptive to it. And then you know, for it 552 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: was like, yo, hell, you gotta get you gotta get 553 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: up on this man, because this is the way. It's 554 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: the way of the world. What you know, what the 555 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: culture is all about now and how we're gonna be 556 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: able to market and do our stuff. So I was 557 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: like And then so from the aspect of when he 558 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: was getting ready, I think for a fight or something. 559 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: And so when you're interacting, you know, you see stuff 560 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: and the fans are responding to something. So I found 561 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: myself getting into it with the fans and Floyd was like, no, no, no, no, 562 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: we don't do that. Man. He's like, look, it's like this, 563 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: he says, why are you gonna sit there and argue 564 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: with somebody you don't know and who actually has no 565 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: impact on anything that we're getting ready to do, he says, 566 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: he said after the fight, when he says, on Monday morning, 567 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: when we go to the bank, who's going with us. 568 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: He said, So why does that matter with anything anybody saying? 569 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: He said, let them say whatever they want to about me, 570 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: because you know I would always get piste off because 571 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: they're saying things that you know obviously aren't true. And 572 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: then you know, I'm defending him. He said, don't worry 573 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: about that. He said, yeah, he said, we don't care 574 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: about nothing. They say nothing. Nobody said. We in our 575 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: own lane, doing our own thing, and we're gonna keep 576 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: on getting money. And that's what it was. And so 577 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: that was one of the tough lessons that you know, 578 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: I had to learn early on about social media. You know. 579 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: But my team, actually my team actually does a great 580 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: job with our platform. They're the ones that do everything. 581 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm not as active, you know, especially on Instagram, and 582 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: because I'm too busy, you know, you know, I'm focused 583 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: on the business and you know, we got so many things. 584 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: You only need to post number pictures and you clean anyway, 585 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: that's what I need to do. Let him know how 586 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: clean you is every day. Yeah, that's it. But you 587 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: have to be attribute your style to just just you 588 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: being you. Yeah. Yeah, it was something you know going 589 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: up as a youngster, you know, d C. It's just 590 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: all about that swag the men and the women, you know. 591 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: So a couple of old heads, you know, coming up, 592 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: it was like, you know, dressing was everything. You know, um, 593 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: looking good, smelling good, keeping yourself, growing well, groom you know, 594 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: and and you're able to get in a lot of 595 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: doors that way. People you know, you know what, they 596 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,959 Speaker 1: respect you and look at you a little differently, you know. Um. 597 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: And I've always taken great pride in that, you know, 598 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: how you present yourself and you know, so it's been 599 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: a thing from ever since I was a kid. I 600 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: took great pride and how I look, you know, whether 601 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: it was the elementary, junior, high, high school, college, whatever. Yeah, 602 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, Dion sand has gotta say and you look good, 603 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: you play good, they pay good, and and that's you 604 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: know here is I'm I'm representing the biggest guy ever 605 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: in our sports. So you know, I'm representing the brand, 606 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: right you know. I know you're real close to Dame Lily. 607 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: He's a big boxing fan. You mentioned how Ocho used 608 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: to train when he played. I use boxing as a 609 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: training tool during my basketball career. Thoughts on the evolution 610 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: of kind of other athletes using boxing as a tool 611 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: to prepare for their other sports. Man, I'm not a 612 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: great question. Man. Dame is a great example. I have 613 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: such great admiration for that brother. I mean, because what 614 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: he's been able to do is get better and better 615 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: each and every year and add more and more to 616 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: his game. And so he's taking boxing as a tool, 617 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,959 Speaker 1: uses as a tool to extend his range. You know, 618 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: um throwing a lot of punches until your arms get tired. 619 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: So he's able to obviously go further and further back. 620 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: You know, we're just shooting, and it's just you know, 621 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: obviously the range of motion just and it's just automatic 622 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: and I'll never get tired, and it's just it's like 623 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: it's automatic. And that's why I mean that dude, he's 624 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: so locked in. It's so impressive, and he's like the 625 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: biggest boxing fan. He could actually be a commentator. Yeah. 626 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: And when I said he knows his stuff and me, 627 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: he'd be hitting me up. I hit him up and 628 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: and we talked about this. We talk all the time, 629 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: like my almost every day, almost like every day. I mean, 630 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: when he's in the bar letting Miami, he's trying to 631 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: get him to come out that day. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, 632 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: just out. I talked to him last night. He's telling 633 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: me he wouldn't be able to make it because he's 634 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: in Mexico and you know all of that stuff. So 635 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: before we get to these uh quick hitters, you've been 636 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: blessed to be around the greatest boxer of all time. 637 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: You've got someone else coming through the pipeline and Tank Davis. 638 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: What is it you've talked about them? What is this 639 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: ride and experience been like for you? Personally? It's been 640 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: an incredible ride. I mean you know now, um, since 641 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: over the pandemic, I've actually had an opportunity to kind 642 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: of just sit back a little bit and just kind 643 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: of watch a little bit of our journey, you know, 644 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: because I've just been so locked and it's still really 645 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: locked in. But um, now you know with Floyd, you 646 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: know he's retired. Now, UM, I don't have to work 647 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: twenty hours a day. I have a tremendous team, and UM, 648 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: so I'm able to, um just kind of really appreciate 649 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: things much better. And then I actually have uh a 650 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: different look, you know, especially like a lot of things 651 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: we went through and not a lot of things I 652 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: didn't know and see because you just be so locked 653 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: in the moment, you don't get a chance to appreciate 654 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 1: a lot of different things. Much like, wow, like we've 655 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: we've done a lot, you know, and I look back 656 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: on it, and it's just like because we started when 657 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: I say we started at the bottom, I mean, I 658 00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: can remember us driving from from Las Vegas cross country 659 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: to Grand Rapids, handing out flyers, you know, grass food 660 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, you know, telling you know, people to 661 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: to watch his fight on is being you know, and 662 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: that's just kind of how it all started. And this dude. 663 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: People thought he was going to the clubs, you know, 664 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: they're not. But see he was just keeping his face 665 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: out there and staying standing close to the streets where 666 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: people felt comfortable with him, like okay, that's a cool. Yeah, 667 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: And he's out here in our environment. You know, we 668 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: could go anywhere in New York anyway, in the streets anywhere. 669 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: He was always respected, you know. So it's been a 670 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: great opportunity to kind of look back and you know, 671 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: over over these last twenty four years and just have 672 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: a greater appreciation. It's just truly a blessing being this 673 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: you know position. I see, That's what I was warning 674 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: because as athletes sometimes being so caught up in the 675 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: moment you never appreciate the actual accomplishments at each step that, 676 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And you see it now 677 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: too as someone that was writing to him, just kind 678 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: of understanding the significance of the history you guys made 679 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: during the process. So now you kind of get to 680 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: look back out of that, like, damn, we really did 681 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,479 Speaker 1: some ship. Yeah. I mean, it's just like this dude 682 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: was actually like the highest paid athlete in sports, not 683 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: just boxing, in sports for a number of years, and 684 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: I used to get the calls. He got the calls 685 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: bron Tom Brady, every every top player in each sport 686 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: were like, what are y'all doing? You know, because you know, 687 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: ball players gotta you know, get a big contract for 688 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 1: four fives years to get the hunting something man and 689 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: Floyd going out, then get one night, one night, one night, 690 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: twice a year, right, and then go get a hundred 691 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: in an exhibition fight. Yeah yeah, fair quick hitters man. 692 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: First thing to come to your mind, let us know, 693 00:36:55,040 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: who do you have? Who do you like in the finals? Atlanta? Nice? Nice, 694 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: but you're just talking about it before Trey Young is 695 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 1: out here doing this thing. He's doing this thing man, 696 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: and gotta give you know credit obviously the coach NICKM Millan, 697 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm doing, you know, and they got a good, solid 698 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: young team and man, very proud of, very proud of. 699 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, good core. Rank your top three Floyd fights 700 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: of all time Oscar Della Hoya, um Canello and a 701 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,479 Speaker 1: tural Gotti. You know, I thought she was gonna say 702 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 1: Si Shane, Si shan't rocking, and Floyd flawlessly beat him 703 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: after that flat he walked him down, but she shan't 704 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: cut a little differently. He actually thought that he was 705 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: much stronger than Floyd and all of that. But see, people, 706 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: Floyd is a different kind of beast. He's like, you know, 707 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: he looked one way, but it's different when you get 708 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: up in there for dog dog and when he got 709 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: caught with that big shot. That's what I've seen in 710 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: the gym, not get hit with the shop, but like 711 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: how he's aggressive like that he walks the guy out 712 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: and he talking to him. See that's see, that's that's 713 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: what meant. That's what I love. I got so much 714 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: respect fro him because he was rocked and he wasn't 715 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 1: the type when he get rocked.
