I seen this man come into this boxing game and dominate. I seen him destroy at 130 pounds. Then he came up and went up in weight. He went to 100. I don't like him at 147. I think we're going to go down and we're going to go up. But if the man gets focused, there's no other person. There's Floyd Mayweather, then it's him.

Everybody kept saying that this was there's Floyd Mayweather than there's him. When everybody kept saying that this was the next Floyd Mayweather and now people are going on and they're giving it Earl Spence, but I know that this brother right here, if he gets focused,

he can be a five-time, six-time, maybe even seven-time world champion. Right now, we're giving it up for Adrian Brown. That makes sense.

And now it's not about building this, it's about boxing. You serious about the boxing right now? Of course, I'm serious about building, it's about boxing. You serious about the boxing right now? Of course I'm serious about boxing, but right now the space I'm in, I'm not cornering myself in. I'm God gifted. He gave me a lot of talent. I got this passion.

I had this passion for music since I was for music since I was a kid right and um right now I'm focused on my music thing and just just having fun but we not throwing boxing away

we can't do that no no no you can't throw boxing away I wouldn't be where I'm at without that because we gotta get Garcia back I don't like that I'm gonna throw that out there

I'm gonna be honest Garcia's not a better fighter than you oh no he listen I'm gonna be honest to you Listen, you are one of the most athletic people

That we got Like, we need you You've come in from the hood We need you to get focused We need you to get back And we need you to whip Garcia's ass I got you I mean, you know

You know, as of right now You know, it's about Spending time with the family Spending time with the kids That's what I've been doing But, you know, as of right now, it's about spending time with the family, spending time with the kids. That's what I've been doing. But, you know, it already been talks. You know, we doing what's best for me. You never know. I know one thing, though.

My next fight going to be bigger than my last fight. Right, right. Because we need you back on. What was it? The last fight was Showtime, correct? Yeah. We need you back on Showtime. Well, you are a pay-per-view fighter.

I just feel like... I already told him. I already told him. You know, no disrespect to CBS and PBC, but they watered me down. Yeah, when you were talking about the fights with the commercials in between. Yeah, they watered me down. So, you know, I already told him, if it ain't Showtime, I ain't rolling. Right, right.

I mean, that's how it is. So, just describe for us, how does a person even get into boxing? Because... From the ground, from the ground. I know your story, from you getting locked up. Where are you from originally? Cincinnati. Cincinnati, okay.

From you getting locked up, and how did you turn your life around and come home and boxing saved your life? I believe that's your words you said. Yeah. I've been boxing since I was six years old. Me and my twin brother. You know what I'm saying? I got a twin brother too.

Wow. But training as a boxer in the streets fighting. Huh? Do he fuck your bitches? He can. Let's make some noise for your twin brother. Fuck your bitches. God damn it.

God damn it. God damn it. I know if I had a twin brother as a boxer, I'm knocking his bitches down. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, and honestly, it's still arguments that he was better than me. In boxing? Yeah. Wow, wow.

But it's just so crazy. Like, ironically, our birthday just passed. We was 13. And we came in the house, and then my dad was right there. And he was like, Dad, if I win this next tournament, can I quit? Because he wanted to take after my big brother and all of them. So my dad was just bullshitting. He said, yeah. So we go to the tournament, and he stops everybody.

He knocks out everybody. He wins the tournament, and he really quit. And then he just left it to me. Wow. How old was he when he quit? 13. Oh, shit. So what day, what was the moment where you said, yo, I'm going to take this all away

and I'm going to become a professional boxer? Because everybody in the hood didn't make a fight. Believe it or not, growing up, I was scared to turn pro as a kid because I used to watch the fights or whatever. Well, I really didn't watch the professional fights that much. I used to just always watch amateur boxing. But then every time I see professional boxing, they always had real bad cuts. I'm like, man, hold on.

And some of them couldn't talk good. Yeah, yeah, and all that. And then I'm getting older and getting, and start going to the streets. But every day I always go to the gym. You know, it was times where I used to ask my coaches, like, can I sleep here? Right. And I'm serious. Like, I don't want to leave.

Can I sleep here? I want to sleep here and wake up in the gym. And I just stayed at it, stayed at it in trouble got out of trouble and then it was just like I remember when I was locked up I'm facing 57 years damn everybody like

they like this for the robbery? yeah this for a lot of shit so 57 years worth of shit alright alright so

so they like they like man he never getting out. That's a girl drink. We got to celebrate that you made it from the hood. Oh, yeah, for sure. I'm going to just pour the rosé if you drink some. Oh, for sure.

You know what I mean? So I'm hearing the rumors. I'm hearing the rumors like he never going to get out, this and that. At this time, the Olympic trials is coming up. I missed the Olympic trials. I was supposed to go to the Olympics that year. What year is this? What Olympics is this?

2008. Okay. Yeah. So I'm 17. I got bounded over and I got trialed as an adult. Damn. So I'm 17 at the time. I was supposed to go to the Olympics at this time.

I missed that. So one day, I remember, I was in, they had me in an man's stead 23 23 hours in one hour out okay because I was just fucking around and I was I was wrecking it I was like crazy so one day I'm writing a rap I remember like yesterday I'm writing a rap and in the middle of the rap I'm like I put the pen I'm like let's say I beat this shit what am I going to do and like it's crazy but this is how I'm really talking to myself I'm in a room by myself in a juvenile pen you couldn't have

a roommate so I'm in a room by myself I'm like what am I going to do go to school I'm like nah I mean I'm smart but I ain't fuck that school shit cause like rap I'm like rapping like who really going to make it in rapping? You know what I'm saying?

Right. Then I'm like, go back out here and hustle and be back in here? Nah. All I got is boxing. Right. So then I'm like, if I'm boxing, this is what I'm boxing right this is what I'm gonna do so um

cause cause throughout all that right you grew up but um when when when

you just made a million on your last fight just for one fight right on paper what makes you what makes you my bad

my bad my bad but what makes you even want to have a passion what makes you even want to have the passion to like pursue music like because you're already dominated in your field like anybody who got 36 minutes me and my twin brother like we've been around music since we were six years old as well. My uncle, my uncles and all of them, they had labels and studio was in our house. And every day we used to watch my uncle make beats and do all this with music.

And they was big. They was getting big, but they never caught that break. You know what I'm saying? But we was around it all day. So it was like. A lot of people don't know where you from. It's real. Oh, yeah. Like, I'm talking about real, real. Yeah, yeah, yeah... A lot of people don't know where you from. It's real. Oh, yeah.

Like, I'm talking about real, real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For real, for real. It's a war out there right now. Yeah? And what's a war out there right now? Huh? There's a war out there right now?

Yeah, it's incredible. Didn't the police arrest you over there? Was that over there where they arrested you for old wine? And you told the nigga, I'm rich, motherfucker. You were driving crazy or something. You told the police, I'm rich. That's what you doing they just had

shot up my own suburban they just shot like 30 shots at my suburban oh what so what happened was I'm I'm

I'm in my hood I'm in my hood I'm like man I ain't about to I ain't about to stay till you get laid I'm in a little bar I don't give a fuck

I'm on my side so I leave out I'm like it's a light I don't give a fuck I'm on my side so I leave out I'm like it's a light I don't know why there's light right here but it's a light

but the light literally take like 15 minutes to change so I ran a light boom and it feel right and it feel right no I don't ever

stay there I'm telling you I ran that light boom so I'm listening to my music and then I hear doom doom doom it was awkward but I'm'm listening to my music. And then I hear, doom, doom, doom. It was awkward, but I'm thinking it's the music. Right.

And then I hear, doom, doom, doom. I'm like, oh. Right. So they hitting the car up. The window's breaking. So I get out of there. I stay calm. This ain't the first time I've been through a situation.

So that's the only reason that got me out of there. Plus, I was in a Suburban. I wasn't in none of my small cars. Right. So I get out of there. Plus, I was in a suburban. I wasn't in none of my small cars. So I get out of there or whatever. But where I stayed at the time, it wasn't in Cincinnati. I stayed across the water in Kentucky. Where rich white people were at.

Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. So I'm still driving like they chased me, even though I don't think they was no more because I'm gone. But I'm still driving like, fuck it. The adrenaline adrenaline was so pumped so i get across the bridge or whatever and i get off on my exit i'm still running lights and so the police seen that right in kentucky yeah right and that's when they pulled me over and then they like so when they pulled me over in front of the place it's like four cars they all get out and they, why are you driving so crazy? Then they look at the car, and I'm like, yeah.

And they're like, oh, shit. So then it was just over after that. They was going to let me go. But they're like, do you know who did this? I'm like, I don't know. I don't know nothing. Oh, yeah, yeah. So then they're like, but we still got to take your name and stuff.

But I had a warrant from like four years ago. Oh, shit. And they took you down, but you told a years ago I'm rich it's true though I agree with you at that moment I was like yo look motherfucker just didn't know like you have you had a wallet I remember I'm pissed somewhere and I got a ticket for it. I totally forgot to pay the shit. Totally forgot.

Right. They came at me. Random shit. And I'm like, oh, shit. You know what I'm saying? They tried to give me nine months for that shit. But you didn't piss, though. Huh? You didn't piss.

What was your warrant for? I thought I was pissed here. Some shit called, what are they? Something conduct? Disorderly conduct. Disorderly conduct. Disorderly conduct. Like at a club or something? Nah.

Just so you know, AB, this is what Drink Champs is. We are disorderly conduct. God damn it. God damn it. You are here. Again, you ain't got a drink, but I feel like we should celebrate your career. You came from Cincinnati, Ohio. You made it from the bottom, and you here.

You just got a million for your last fight. That to me is something to celebrate any black man that can come out of the gutter and make these type of numbers and coming from there and doing what you did. I say we celebrate that.

Let's make some motherfucking noise. Amen. Take a little rosé. We got a little, what's that called? Tequila. Tequila. It's the best. I got some. Where's the camera at? We Tequila. Tequila. It's the best.

I got some. Where's the camera at? Where's the camera at? We got some Colombian white. It's the best tequila in the world. And Ciroc. We got Ciroc in the building. Yeah, I feel like I take a shot of Ciroc.

Are you in? I got Colombian white. You want to take a shot of Colombian white? I'll take a Ciroc and you take Colombian white. I'll take it. That's fucking awesome. That's fucking awesome. I love Diddy, but I.

So what's your passion? What is it? If you had to choose right now, like, let's say, take away your accolades, take away everything you just did. Now, you're starting off as a little kid again, right? Boom.

But now this time... Again? As a kid? As a kid again. Now this time, you have a choice. Oh, after living this life? No, no, no. You ain't lived this life. Yeah.

Yeah, you ain't lived this life yet. I don't know nothing about it. So if you had to start all over and you had to pick one, God said to you, look, you're going to be successful in one. Which would you pick? Would it be boxing or would it be music boxing boxing i i liked it he said that i wanted you to answer that immediately for real for real because because see me i grew up

like um my father was was not not nothing big he's boxing the golden gloves so i always like uh follow boxing i can't say i'm a fanatic i gotta say i'm just a follower like i'm the guy from the stands so i probably don't know as much as i think i know but me looking from the outside in i know i can tell by the way you're talking you're passionate about boxing i can tell there's certain people so let me ask you something, right? You and Floyd Mayweather. When I first looked at y'all, I looked at y'all like almost like, and this might sound crazy, but like Biggie and Jay-Z.

What I mean by that, like when I looked at Big and Jay-Z. Mentor and mentee? No, no, that wasn't mentor and mentee. That was homie and homie. Yeah. But although. You don't think Biggie was a little bit of a mentor to Jay-Z? I think he was a little bit of a mentor, but just in the game, but not in life.

Okay. In life, I felt like they were even in life. Like they had been through the same amount of stuff. Right. So when I looked at you guys— But you can't say that in life with me and bruh. No, see, I don't know. I'm an outsider looking in.

That's why I described— I respect him. I respect everything he went through, but I'm really like ten toes down when it comes to that. So, yeah, but what happened with y'all relationship?

Because it was like, this was the brother. It's still good. Everything good. Brothers, listen. Brothers fight. Me and my twin have fought

every fucking day, but we wake up and we go out and this is, what's up, bro? You know what I'm saying? Nothing happened. It's just like that up, bro? Right. You know what I'm saying? Right, right. Nothing happened. Right.

It's just like that situation, you know, when you get to that type of level of success, sometimes I do it with my brothers and they be like, nigga, you tripping. And they go off on me how I went off on him. Right. But it's like, you'll sometimes do something, but you won't think it's wrong. Right, right. You'll say something, but you, like, you probably don't think it's wrong, but, nigga, you just said some bullshit. Right.

You tripping. Right. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. And that's all that was. You know what I'm saying? But it wasn't nothing serious. Right.

Now, it was beautiful to see y'all make up. And also, he was the promoter on this last fight, correct? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was the promoter on this last fight Correct? He was the promoter on this last fight I thought that was dope So now that we're speaking about Mayweather This is probably the biggest event In boxing right now

Right? Is this What's his name? McGregor McGregor Now the thing about McGregor I hope Revolt Plays this episode very fast

Because McGregor Actually called him a monkey That part Nah that's bullshit Revolt plays this episode very fast because McGregor actually called him a monkey. That part. Nah, that's bullshit. That's some foul. I understand promoting the fight. You took it too far. I don't think I could

have stood. I mean, at the end of the day, ain't nobody going to fuck up their money. But it's just like, you tripping. Them when you get your goofies like, you know what I'm saying? See, he just turned everything racial. Although boxing is racial anyway. Let me ask you, for me, I'm the person that doesn't know shit about none of this.

For the person, they talking that it's fake, and you're close to it. None of that is fake, I'm assuming. Nah. Is any of it set up for entertainment? Of course you want to sell tickets. I can say that. No, I know there's a little bit of it, but let him talk. Listen, none of it is fake.

None of it is set up. I'm going to just tell you what it is. You got McGregor just being himself and Floyd finally fighting somebody who's as outspoken or more outspoken than him. That's just what it is. Floyd never, think about it. Floyd never fought nobody. The White Sox.

Um, that was as outspoken as him. Like outrageous. Like, yeah. He always had, Shane was trying to be a little bit, but yeah,

yeah, yeah. I know what you're saying. You get what I'm saying? It's like two villains fighting. You know what I'm saying? Shane ain't going to get up there and say half of the shit McGregor said to this man. I didn't like what McGregor said.

He said monkeys, and then he said boy. Dance for me, boy, is what. That's crazy. That did it for me. If people you hate, Floyd Mayweather, if you hate, and you black, you Latino, you all of this culture, and I don't mean to shut off a waste wall, but I'm just saying, even if you're white, and you hate people who act like that you should be rooting for Floyd Mayweather one because he's from

America and this is America motherfucker that's one and two just for that racist act let's make some noise for whipping his ass you know what's crazy I actually just did a interview and what I remember in it they asked some question and what I remember in it,

they asked some question and I'm like... Give it to Bobby. Give it to E. If the American people supported they fighters how the other countries support their fighters, Mike, we'll be on another level

when it comes to superstars. No, but I'll tell you something. I was watching ESPN First Take and it was an interesting point that Stephen A. Smith brought up. He said that the minute Floyd Mayweather fought Ricky Hatton

and then the Brits... Shots fired, man. My bad. And he said the minute the Brits start booing the national anthem, all of the USA started going for Floyd,

even though people from USA wasn't even for Floyd. So, I think that's crazy in boxing. I remember going to a bacchial. I didn't even go to the fight. I was about to say going to a fight. I would have been frightened. But another reason what people don't know, though,

is that I'm more of a star in the Europeans because over there, they don't have football, the NBA, all that. You know what I'm saying? Boxing is their next biggest sport after soccer. Soccer, yeah.

See what I'm saying? That's all they got to watch. So that's probably another reason why boxing is so big over there. But they support system over there is just crazy.

Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

But how much of it actually works? And what does it all mean for your gut,

your skin, and even your mood? Join us on Dope Labs where we break it all down in the lab like only we can. Listen to Dope Labs on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. it all down in the lab like only we can listen to dope labs on iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts all right let me ask you going back to the shit that mcgregor was saying yeah if after all the shit he was saying the fight is done no matter who wins yeah it's all good between them two no is that good sportsmanship is that is that acceptable

oh you got to do it. Let me say something. If Floyd didn't endorse Donald Trump recently, this would be in black tabloid terror! Wait, wait, wait. What about Donald Trump? Floyd endorsed Donald Trump, so

that's like taking black away from you. Like, if you say, I'm down with Trump, you're like, a stripe of black comes off. I if you say i'm down with trump you like a stripe of black comes off i'm black i'm telling you the black experience when you vote for us or you go it's like you get light skin it's out the blue you just wake up and you fucking look like kid in play the kid the kid part i'm just telling you like i'm just serious and But had Floyd been Slime or Earl Spencer, like somebody that has not denounced, because that's what it's somewhat doing when you endorse somebody that clearly hates your people. Clearly does not like the people that you are around. So, but had he had not did that, this would have been on black Twitter crazy.

It would have been on everything. But everybody's sitting back and saying, you know, Floyd is a part of that. You know what I'm saying? I think Floyd is one of the greatest. But I see why the black people ain't step up. But that still in all, I can't forgive you for saying something like that. Like, if you say something like that, that's not promoting your fight. Like, I could say your moms or something like that. But I not promoting your fight. Like, I could say, yo, your moms or something like that.

But I can't even say, like, you know, torture. This is what, like, the black struggle is not fake. This shit is not made up. Like, calling people monkeys is really, is a really bad thing. Saying, dance for me, boy. No, that's going deep. And I was cool. And Floyd grabbed his flag, put it around him, and still didn't really disrespect it.

Just did it. You know why, though? Uh-huh. Yo, yo, E, I just received my clothes, man. You know, it's like I got a personal style. It's like I got Groovy Lou on standby. You got that bombfell.com. Bombfell.com.

You whipped them because they said something. I forgot. I don't know. This is the first time you grew the beard and you had cut it off before camp and you whipped him. I'm probably. I forget who it was. Damn. Probably.

That was when I was going through that Mayweather thing, huh? And you fought an undercard? No. I remember it was somebody. They said something. And you went in there and you tore their undercard? No. I remember it was somebody. They said some. And you went in there and you tore their motherfucking ass up. I think that was Eloy Perez, but I didn't have the beard then. I think, oh, no, I thought in training camp you had the beard and you cut it off.

But all right, cool. So what's one of your favorite boxing moments? It doesn't have to be with you. What's one of, just boxing, period. When it come up to boxing, period? Period, period. When it come up to boxing, period? Period, yeah. Oh, wow. When I think about it, I get the same feeling.

It brings tears to my eyes when I won my first world title. Yeah. That was just like, I mean, don't get me wrong. I feel the same every time I win one. Every time I won one, it's like I really did it. You know what I'm saying? But my first one, it's like I really did it. You know what I'm saying? But my first one, it was just like six years. Everything just flashed like, damn, from six years old.

You know what I'm saying? Right. I really followed my dream. And going through it being, you said 57 years. Yeah. Being offered that and going to a fucking world. That's insane. Let's just make some fucking noise for that. Thank God you ain't had to deal with that shit, bro.

But that was just one. When I beat that, it was more after that. But all this shit gonna be in my movie. I can't give it to all of you. No problem. But yeah, though. And then at that time, what happened was

my mom dropped a bomb on me, man. She saved a picture. It was like a project I did. I was 10 years old for my school. And the last question of it was like, in 10 years, where do you see yourself? Where do you see yourself? And I said, I'll be a world champion.

And I was a world champion. Oh, that's crazy. Wow. It was crazy. So, yeah, it was. Well, AB, I'm going to tell you as a fan, this is as a straight fan. I could see, like, when you in that ring, and the minute, this is how I know when you're dominating, right? When you go, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

When you make them sound effects, that's the A, B I want. Like, at some point, when the Garcia fight, you didn't make those sound effects, right? And then you started to play a little bit, right? The thing about it is, you play best at 130. When you got to that little bit of weight on you, this is just me outside looking in. I'm fucking a fan. I'm a real fan. But when you start, because see, Garcia, I'm looking in I'm fucking a fan Yeah yeah I'm a real fan But when you

When you start Cause see Garcia I'm gonna tell you something He's the type of dude You shouldn't talk about Because it plays into his hands You know what I'm saying Like some people

You talk shit to And it fucks them up But it plays into his hands But if you get serious And I'm talking about serious I ain't saying you're not serious But you know what I'm saying Like because I just feel like Your ability Your athleticism But if you get serious, and I'm talking about serious. I ain't saying you're not serious, but you know what I'm saying?

Like, because I just feel like your ability, your athleticism, I feel like you're using it maybe 85%. I feel like if you give that 100%, you're going to make $100 million, my brother. Like, for real. Like, this is as a fan. I'm just straight up fanning out. You sound like Coach Norrie, though, right now. Of course. I want him to sound good. I want money on him and I lost money too.

But now I know he can do it. I know you can do it. But you know what one thing is? I always see you at the clubs. Is that a problem for AB? No. A little bit. Come on.

It's a problem for me. It's not. And now you're sitting next to me. But you got to understand. You got to understand. You know. Like when I was. You can make money.

You got to have fun. No, not even that. I don't go to the clubs for that reason though. Like all my brothers. They don't be willing to go to these clubs. Right. But I tell them all the time. Like listen.

So if I'm in a club, I'll don't even drink. So if I'm in a club, it just be like, don't get me wrong, I've drunk before. Don't get me wrong.

But I'm in a club. It's legal. I be like, all of this shit because I box. If I didn't box, I wouldn't have none of this shit. They wouldn't be saying my name on there in the time. All of this because I box. If I didn't box, I wouldn't have none of this shit. They wouldn't be saying my name on the intercom. All of this because I box. All the motherfuckers

taking pictures of me because I box. So, you know what I want to do after this? Everybody dead drunk. They don't want to do shit. I'm like, all right,

And I tell my brothers and I tell my sisters, my family, my kids. I tell them, do y'all know, do y'all understand it only takes one punch and I wouldn't be here today? Right. God bless. So every time I step in that ring, I don't give a fuck. Every time I step in that ring, I put my life on here today. Right. God bless. So every time I step in that ring, I don't give a fuck. Every time I step in that ring, I put my life on the line.

Right. You know? And then, right? So I tell him this all the time, right? And then we go to a fight. And it's a fighter. It was an upcoming fighter named Pritchard Colon. Okay.

He was undefeated at the time. He fights. He was undefeated at the time. He fights. He takes his first loss. But he leaves the fight smiling, taking pictures. He was a hell of a, he was in the war. Right? Smiling, taking pictures.

First, they was throwing punches at him, and then he was like this. Wow. But he's out of it. Wow. And then they put the pads up, and then he's punching the pads.

So it's just like, I could be like that if I take the wrong shot. Right. Because boxing is like, it's kind of like, I don't that if I take the wrong shot right cause boxing is like it's kinda like I don't even think you can get insurance right

I never experienced that. I went straight from Junior Olympics to the pros. So that's why it was way tough,

hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here and I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West

and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution.

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season One, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really, really bad.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.

It's this idea that there are so many stories out there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

I liked it that, because they were, like, good. He's real good, but they ain't never fighting. What's the dude, Kobolov? Kobolov, yeah. I liked it there because they were both like, you know, considered dominant and they shit.

You think that's good for the sport? It's going back to the older days. In the older days, boxing was so much bigger then because... Sugar Ray Fort, Lenny. Is that the older days y'all talking about? That era? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going back to that

because like back then everybody fought everybody. You know what I'm saying? Tommy Hearns fought Sugar Ray. Like, yeah. Durant fought Tommy Hearns. Sugar Ray, yeah. Everybody.

Everybody fought everybody. And the fans, they respected them both. Right. But they didn't criticize him because, oh, he lost to him right but he beat him right but they they just the fans back then really viewed it as this is a sport both of these motherfuckers is yep i agree with you one million percent you so now now you got

somebody like me who's outspoken and not afraid to say that I'm one of the best and I feel like I'm going to kick this motherfucker ass. You know what I'm saying? A lot of motherfuckers... You think boxing is definitely going to elevate? Yes. You think the UFC times boxing... I was thinking the same thing.

Is that... Me looking for the outside, and again, I'm only a fan. I'm only a speculator. But to me, it looks like McGregor's taking this fight, and he's never going to fight again ever in a UFC boxing. He don't pose to. You got to understand. He won't ever make this much money.

$100 million, right, he's making? I don't know about that. I heard that. That's what I heard. You're overdoing it with that. I ain't here to talk about prices. I heard that's what I heard. Yeah, you're overdoing it with that. I ain't here to talk about Christ. Okay, go ahead. No problem.

But he hit the lotto. So what does that leave the place of boxing? Does that uplift boxing? It uplifts boxing. Because it's bringing another whole sport. That's just like, listen, that's just like if the Cavaliers team say, fuck it, we're going to play the Broncos on Sunday. You know how big that would be?

That's hard. But what would they play? No, football. Football. And we're going to play football. That's crazy. You know why I say it like that? Because McGregor

don't, he, of course he do a little boxing but he's in a cage where he can fight and kick and ball. Right, right. It's a whole different thing.

He can't do nothing but this. Yeah. This. So it's like going from basketball to a whole other sport.

You know what I'm saying? It's an ill analogy. Yeah, it is. So you said boxing is going to be elevated. Yes. But now, so now the next fight, so now somebody from UFC challenged you. You with that too?

I will fight. I will do it. I've been told them that. What? I wasn't playing when I said this shit. I'm dead serious. I healed up. What?

I'm good. What? Let's go. So you'll fight a UFC fighter too if they call today and said Nate Diaz said he will fight you

on the Floyd Undercard co-main event let's go but what would happen if it was the flip I'm just picturing that like just boxers

fight a UFC fighter but what about the flip like the boxers have to do if I was a boxer I wouldn't go to UFC fuck y'all come to us at some point you gotta the box inside I'm sorry getting killed for

life you're easy change sorry right people might stop listening to this but I don't fuck with UFC that's too much too much hey don't say that just say that's just you don't don't say that's different don't say with UFC. That's too much. That's too much for me. Hey, don't say that. Just say it. But that's just because you don't fuck with it. That's too much for me. That's different. Don't say that because I got murdered for saying that. So I got to stop you. All right.

Let's edit that there. Nah. He re-edited it. UFC is in there. Check it out, y'all. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.

Sorry. Like I said before, it was certain stages. I really didn't... Because... Music... It was certain stages. I really didn't, because music, music, like, it helped me with my career.

It sounds crazy, but I'm serious. You mean, like, you listen to music as you train and it hype you up? Like, that type of shit? It's not hype you up. It's just, like, certain songs. So, what songs? I feel like I'm going to get an artist. The first song was Eminem.

Okay. Lose Yourself? Yes. I don't know why I thought. Lose Yourself. To me, that's like a boxing song as well. You know what's crazy? I actually had just lost. Well, I got bronze, but I lost in the Junior Olympics.

It was like my last amateur fight. Right. And that song was out out and i'm just like so the um they they they come to me and they like man you fight so much like a professional you fight you fight like a pro already and i didn't know i was already talking to al hayman's people i did i just found this out like four years ago. And he was like, man, you're good. You know what I'm going to do?

Because for the camp, only the runner-up and the gold medalist is supposed to stay. After the tournament, they have a camp. And he was like, I'm going to get you in the camp. So I go to the camp, and I'm just killing everybody in my weight class. So they call home. I didn't have to make weight no more. So they call home.

They're like, just tell him to make weight. Please just tell him to make weight. We're going to take him. We're going to take him to Europe and fight in the World Cup instead of taking a gold medalist. And it's crazy because the gold medalist. And it's crazy because the gold medalist beat me, but they cheated. It cheated 4-4, 98-99 split, whatever.

They cheated me. But I just didn't do it. I was just on some crazy shit. You think that was a problem in your career, making weight? Hell no. It's just like if, I just feel like this.

If I don't have a reason to make the weight. Let's say this. You made the weight this fight. Yeah, but listen to me. Okay, cool. Okay. Let's say I call Al. I got a fight in a month.

All right. I'm the A side regardless, no matter what. All right. So I'm like, all right. I'm a month away. I'm a A side regardless, no matter what. So I'm like, all right. I'm a month away. I'm a month out. I got about eight, ten to eight pounds to lose. I'm like, all right, fuck it.

Bring it out. They're going to pay me the same if we fight at 40 or 43 or 44? Yeah. All right. Alright. Boom. I'm smart though. So, I wait till about the week of.

So, I know my opponent killing himself getting down. You know what I'm saying? Mad week. The whole time I know I'm like, I'm going to make this fight at 43, 44. So I'm just chilling. I'm just cruising.

The week of, ow, make this fight at 44. All right. And then they flip it around like, oh, he don't want to make the weight. No, fuck y'all. I don't got to make the weight. Now, for this fight They like okay They was gonna penalize you 500,000

For each pound Exactly See I know my shit Yeah I know my shit Exactly You came in like 7 pounds under You was on point

Nigga said Uh uh Made a difference Nigga said He was that weight A week before Nigga said Nah I respected that

But You know what I'm saying But that discipline Is what you need to keep up Because You one of the best that way a week before. No, no bullshit. Nigga said, nah, I respected that. But, you know what I'm saying? But that discipline is what you need to keep up because you're one of the best. I kid you not. I'm not saying this to get her on the gas

because you're in front of my face. I really believe that. So now let's get into some music. Let's just talk about some music. So what's your name? Because we just gave you shots and forgot to even ask you what your name is.

Cook La Flair. Cook La Flair. What's that? Cook La Flair. Cook La Flair? Cook La Flair. Cook La Flair. God damn it, nigga. I feel like I got a pop of a collar, right? When I say that, Cook La Flair, I feel like you pimped holes at one point. Is that correct? No? I'm bugging? Maybe. Possibly. All right. That's okay. Tell us who you is,

you know, where you come from, and what this is about. Tell us. Cook LaFleur from Cincinnati. I pretty much grew up around A.B. You know, I'm pretty much like a big deal in Cincinnati. You know, it's not a big city, but you know. Respect y'all. We respect y'all. Yeah, but you know, we just been working on this tape.

Right. We working on a second tape now, for real. Okay, okay. Basically. Okay, so how's this coming along, AP? Oh, this shit going to be crazy. Okay. I really, I can't wait till y'all really. Right.

Because I know, like, everybody's, I'm telling you, I know how they looking at it. Right. You know, because when athletes try to switch over to music. You know what it is? It was Shaq. It was Shaq. Shaq fucked everything up. No, man.

Shaq did it. Shaq fucking did it. Shaq fucking did it. What's dope? He went platinum. Yeah, nah. Hold on. It's definitely finished.

Shaq did it. He did it. He killed it the first two hours. Yeah. Then he went somewhere. He never came back from that. So everybody looked at athletes like we not sure I'll be good put it on check I think it's Jack for but but the type of

music I'm a no no no he ain't no shot the type music no I think he's a shot for athletes period home and there's a do it. Got an album, too. What's his name? Keisha Coleman. Boobie Gibson. Boobie? Yeah, Boobie Gibson. He got an album, too. That's a barber, too, in case you want to get a cut.

Live on Drink Champs. You're the first nigga. You're the first nigga. You get a cut right now, live? Live on Drink Champs. Nah, nah. I might let him cut him. I got to see how good he is.

Oh, you're going to sacrifice me. He's OK. He's great. I got the best barber ever. He's crazy, but he's great. Okay. Crazy great. Yeah, so that's what happened.

You know, what happens along the lines, after Shaq, we're in platinum twice. I love Shaq, by the way, because I don't know. Shaq soon. The way y'all just described it was like, I wasn't dissing Shaq. I'm just saying, that third album third album that third time came back out they fucked they fucked it up for athletes so people don't look at athletes like they're serious about this you understand what i'm saying but i am the boner i think when they hear my music and and you're making a lot of money as an athlete it's not like you're underclass

yeah for sure i mean like stop saying that so much man I got baby mamas this shit I got baby mamas too man I don't make no money stop listen that's a fact real man they got like two more years till they can take me back to court oh god oh god I had no idea no no no no when I think when they hear my music and and the stuff that I'm producing with Bro, I think they're going to take me serious. As long as I stay on it. Because sometimes I be on it and then I shy away from it. But I'm a...

How can you balance both? Because in my opinion, both careers deserve 100 100% yeah like hip-hop deserve 100% you just gotta work more yeah and what you doing like the one thing I'm not saying this is you because I this is definitely not the one thing um one time I was hanging out a bunch of football players I can't say their name right i told you i had ecstasy days that's not wrong football players ecstasy days yeah this is what i'm trying to tell you right i'm in the studio with these these is like let me get an e i'm like what i'm like you can't have one of these yeah and slime is like give me one you won't i'll tell you off camera but it's wow when i tell you

that he takes on and i'm like he's like i said yo you can't do that in your job he said you can't do that in your job i said russell simmons ain't finding me shit he's helping bring me to the next ounce this is real shit but athletes we can't do that so this is the reason why sometimes people look at athletes as like they can't just make the music. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? But you're saying you define the arts. Yeah. I think for him, I think for him it's like,

it's more like therapy. He's like really using it for the art of it. You know what I'm saying? It's like a release. That's what Dream Champs is for me. It's therapy. Yeah. It's not like he's like, you know what I'm saying? His main focus is boxing. It's just, you know what I'm saying? Like, his main focus is boxing. It's just, you know.

So y'all holding it down. And what more to crew? Because I'm sure it's not just you. No, he has his own record label. And I'm with a record label. I'm with a local record label

from Cincinnati. Called International. Called International Records. But we both are like the biggest, you know thing in our city so we just link up

see y'all link up y'all collaborating that's a beautiful thing let's make some noise for Cincinnati getting along for Cincinnati unity right now

cause Queens we ain't even a city Queens we a little fucking borough and we can't get along look that's a beautiful thing man you gotta keep it together

are we taking more shots or this is enough what time are we at hour 10 hour 10 we can do another 20 minutes that's cool that's another shot yeah let's do another shot but let's pause it real quick because I've been holding this piss for a long time.

Yeah. Mm. Cincinnati at its finest. On their back. Cincinnati on the back right there. Yeah. And now, y'all signed to somebody or you're doing this? I got my own label. And he's with International.

Independent. Independent labels. Out of Cincinnati, that label? Yeah, out of Cincinnati. So who's supposed to distribute this? How is this going to get to the people? It's going to be everywhere. But we got some tricks in the bag.

But we're still going through the motions. And also remember that when you drop a project and you have a radio record, you have to go to the radio and you have to give these people at radio, these people, they love you. They know who you are as a boxer, so if you're going to step into the hip hop arena, you got to actually go to these cities and see these DJs. Do that promo run. I've already done that. But you did it as a boxer. I don't know where you're going with it. hip-hop arena, you got to actually go to these cities and see these DJs and promos. I've already done that.

I've actually done it as an artist. Not for this project, but I'm going to do it for this project. You do it for this project, I'm telling you, because that's the thing that's going to differentiate you from other people. Because you know what it is, when people look at people and they say,

oh, he's going to dip and dab in hip hip-hop but he's already straight in another life they automatically scrutinize you they automatically look at you and say you know what what does this guy do it's like if i was to play football niggas be like what the fuck nori ain't playing no motherfucking football right like nori ain't going out there but then i'm dead serious yeah but i'm trying to prove it to everybody, but the thing about it is ain't nobody going to believe me because everybody sees the image of me being drunk and me being...

The thing is, when you reiterate that as a successful boxer and as a person that's the man in your city and you guys go out there and you touch these people, it means so much more because you know what it is? It's like the culture ain't being played with.

The culture is being taken care of like a baby. It's nurtured. And you as being black, you know that's important for us. You understand what I'm saying? It's for y'all to go out there and touch these people and talk to them because everybody's going to say, ah, this guy's... You've done so tremendous as a boxer. Rob Markman, Yeah. You know what I mean? You've done so tremendous as a boxer.

Rob Markman, They're not going to take the music side serious. I heard... Rob Markman, So you got to be relentless with the promotion of a star. It offended me so much. I heard Chanel West Coast on Loving Hip Hop because I'm a Loving Hip Hop fanatic. I love the shit, right? So she says- You do.

She says, yeah, I love watching. I do. I can't lie. So she says- It's a guilty pleasure. So they says, you know, so what are you for hip hop? She's like, you know, I used to go and buy sandwiches when I was young. And it's like, you think just because you was poor-

That made you hip hop? That that made you hip-hop that automatically makes you hip-hop like that's not real that's not it you got to be a part of the culture you got to breathe this shit i don't i don't try to be hip-hop ever i'm already hip-hop there's nothing that i can try to and that's that's you know where we come from the thing and when the person says you know just where we come from, the thing. And when a person says, you know, just because you was poor for a second, that doesn't make you hip-hop. Hip-hop, you know, you got to live this shit. You got to wake up and brush your teeth to this shit, motherfucker.

And you got to clip your toenails to that. Sometimes you don't brush your teeth. You know what I'm saying? You got to do shit like that. Yeah. Floss. But, so that's their rights. No, man, you don't got to floss. We got the same teeth. Oh, shit, I'm bugging.

Come on. Cut that. He's tripping. He's on E right now. What I'm trying to say is that's the reason why. What are you doing here? Time out, man. Did he just say I'm on heat right now?

This nigga's a foulest part of the night, bro. Listen, man. This is what I do in Drink Chance. We big up our people. We give out our legends. They flowers where they can smell them. We give them they trees where they can hell them. We give them they thoughts where they can think them. And they drinks where they can smell them. We give them their trees where they can hell them. We give them their thoughts where they can think them

and their drinks where they can drink them. There has never been media that's running this media that people that sit down in front of their guests and big them up and say to them,

we appreciate you and congratulations. And the thing about it is the reason why they say it's working for, you know, quote unquote us is because I'm supposed to be

a quote unquote legend. I don't give a fuck about that shit. I don't give a fuck what unquote legend. I don't give a fuck about that shit. I don't give a fuck what I did. I don't give a fuck about the platinum records, the gold records, one platinum, four gold records. I don't give a fuck. You give a little fuck. A little fuck.

A little bit. A little bit. Just a little bit. A little bit. I don't give a fuck about that. You know what I give a fuck about is representing my culture. And my culture doesn't necessarily mean black,

Latino. It means everybody because white people have contributed and everybody has contributed. This is hip hop. This is motherfucking athletics because I believe hip hop helps boxers. I believe hip hop

helps basketball players. I believe hip-hop helps boxers. Yes. I believe hip-hop helps basketball players. I believe, you know, football and everything. And I just feel like we just need to be one together, making sure we represent each other and making sure we big each other up back to the top. Yeah. If you could ever see me where I'm, you know, in a state where I'm like, yo, yo, listen, motherfucker,

get back to who the fuck you are. And the same for you and the same for me and the same for you and the same for everybody in this room. This is what we got to do, because if we don't look out for us, guess what? There ain't nobody that's going to look out for us. A rep. A rep. I'm glad you're on our side. Yes, yes. And that's what it means.

The Cubans are on your side. The Cubans, the Cubans, the Rastafarians, the Jamaicans, the Jewish people. I'll take the white pass. I don't get it. I'll take it. The Dominicans, the Colombians. We are all together on the one flag, and that flag should be hip-hop. Absolutely.

It should be music. It should be culture. It should be all that. And I, you know, culture. It should be all that. And I, for one, are proud to represent that. And I'm thankful that you came down, sat to me,

sat down with us. Excuse me. You know what I mean? You took a little bit of water shots. And we had fun. Nobody took a water shot. We all took real-ass motherfucking shots here.

You gotta relax. Cut that. You gotta relax. He gotta relax. Well, got to cut that. You got to cut that. He got to cut that. Why you got to cut that? Twelve. Yeah, water shots. Oh, water.

Oh. Water shots. The non-sports guy. But here at Drink Champs. Let's do water shots. Here at Drink Champs, that's what we do. We come over here. We want to celebrate our guests. We want our guests to know that they are appreciated, that

they are welcome. We follow your career. We stand by it. That's what the fuck we do over here, man, at Drink Champs because there's other medias and there's other rap medias and there's other journalists.

We ain't no fucking journalists. I'm from Left Back City, 97-3057 Avenue, Apartment 5E. There you go. Corona, New York, 11368. There you go. You understand what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? This motherfucker here, he's from Los Angeles.

He's from the gangbangers culture. He came over here. He started gangbanging in Miami. He started his own shit. He started the Kendall. Miami, what up? Kendall, what up? The Kendall killing.

And then he calmed down and became a DJ. And we came together and we said, you know what? Definitely didn't calm down when I became a DJ. I'm talking about, oh, he went from gangbanging to a DJ? No, no. He just skipped mad steps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I knew steps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I knew that.

Yeah, yeah. It was mad steps. But the point is, we want these young brothers that's out there that are listening to us. Exactly. That's from near Cincinnati. That's from near Los Angeles or Kendoo or from Left Rock City or Queensbridge or 40 Projects or Baisley Projects or Ravenswood or Astoria or Elmhurst or Corona, Woodside, and they can sit back and listen and can say, you know what? I came up from the same conditions you motherfuckers came up from.

You know what the crazy shit is? I ain't better than none of y'all. Not one of them. I ain't better than none of them. Absolutely. But the only thing that makes me better, not better, because I'm not better, but when I sold drugs, I know this is a fucked up thing to say, but I never had the best work, but I had the best drive.

So it doesn't matter. Get the fuck out of here, bro. I can't. Hold on. Let me finish. You gotta relax. Let me finish. Relax, bro.

No. I can relax myself. I'm almost okay. But listen. You just flipped out. Cut that too. Wait. How are we getting?

The guest is editing our show What? Let me finish What? You might have had the better work than me Huh? Don't beat yourself up He doesn't mean you particularly

What? Let me finish You might have had the better work than me You might have had the better work than me You might have had The better clientele But you know what You ain't gonna stay outside As long as me

You not gonna stay outside He would shit his pants outside Let me finish Hold on You not gonna stay outside As long as me You can have the better work I got the better work

Your broke ass still gonna to be outside, bro. That weak ass shit you saw outside. This is where you messing up. It's the drive. The drive? This is the... Yo, gas going to run out, bro.

I ain't got no gas. I'm on the mailbox. I'm in New York. I ain't in Cincinnati. I'm on the corner. So even if you got the better work than me, you got the better clientele, you know what I got? I got that drive.

I was shooting a shot at you. That nobody. You keep saying drive. I said your gas going up. Yeah, I know, I know. That's what I'm saying. Listen. I can't.

My drive. Nobody's shutting me down. You understand? It's real shit Listen to the young niggas Listen to this young niggas Nobody can stop your drive If you focused

This nigga said hustling I ain't got the best shit You gotta have some good dope though Yeah You gotta get some good dope I'm out here Like you in the way bro Wipe up, wipe up, wipe up

I'm like you in the way bro No, no, no you hold on to some you ain't trying to get rid of that shit listen listen i love that i love i love i love that y'all laugh because i realize you're not dirty yet. This shit makes way more sense. It makes sense. But listen, bro. I love to be clowned on.

In your position, you know what I'm doing? Fuck these drugs. I'm going to get a gun and a hoodie. Let's go get some good shit because this ain't working. I'm still going to be out here, but I'm on some different shit cuz that shit that you talk But you do know that was I love that. That's that Cincinnati shit. Let me call my homie in Columbia. That shit right there. No one needs that good work right there. No.

Here's the point I'm trying to make. Here's the point I'm trying to make. No matter what you do, believe in what you're doing. Because you can have bad work, but if you got the drive, you can pull it off. If you have good work and you don't have that confidence, guess what? You're selling it off for the same price as bad work. So it's the same exact thing. You got to have that focus.

You got to sit there and say, you know what? This is who I am. This is who I'm worth and this is what I'm going to go for. We made a song called Focus. You know what I'm saying?

ABC. August 15th. ABC. Okay. How's it sound, studios? Take your mic off. Take his mic off.

Hey, house. You listen. I don't want to get him to lie because I don't think we put that one on there, but it's going, that one is definitely coming out, but I don't think it's going to be because I don't think we put that one on there. But that one is definitely coming out. But I don't think it's going to be. I just need to hear y'all kick a 16, both of y'all,

before we get up out of here. Yeah, yeah, come on. Especially you. You got a purple shirt on and all that. You got to represent for all of these. But that's a hit. Okay. For real.

Okay. This can definitely be done. You don't need a beat or nothing like that. Okay, this can definitely be done but I'm gonna see um You don't need a beat or nothing like no no no no no. He can wrap his ass off, but Like right now like that lyricist shit that ain't Yeah, oh, I'm a clown for y'all butall. I got an old rap for y'all for sure. That's my old shit. It don't have to be that old.

Million a-watching, I still never have time Feel that I'm building momentum with each rhyme Hope they wearing shades Cause they say my shine blinds But I never mind Seven spines, this metal mines When I rhyme Music in the air like wind chimes
