And you're going to make you're going to make us look so good because we know our shit. But we're going to get to the beginning. the beginnings of Danny Garcia. How did you first develop your love for boxing?
Starting point is 00:04:32 When I was a kid, I just loved playing sports, you feel me? I played all sports, but I was a sore loser, you know what I mean? Now, the way you throw, I'm sorry to cut you all. But the way you throw your right hand, I feel like you was a shortstop, I'll feel the whole picture at one point, because you throw it like, you throw it like you throwing them. I mean, you, you push with your right. Like, you, I'm not inaccurate?
Starting point is 00:04:54 It's okay You know, the boxing To be honest It's natural to me You know what I mean When I was young I played every sport I played baseball
Starting point is 00:05:03 I played football I play basketball You know what I mean But like I said I was a sore loser So I hate losing I would blame I would be mad at my teammates
Starting point is 00:05:15 From not being too good You know what I mean Because I was always good You know what I mean But when I stepped in the boxing gym I just started hitting the bag And it just felt So easy to me
Starting point is 00:05:25 And it's just you It's not a team now It's just you It was like It was like this is what I want to do You know what I mean Exactly I can't blame nobody
Starting point is 00:05:31 If I lose So Because boxing's like Similar to rapping Like no matter how many people That can come with me To the studio There's only one person
Starting point is 00:05:38 Who could perform the record Right You know what I'm saying No matter how many people I got on stage It's only one person That could really The crowd is looking at
Starting point is 00:05:45 It's real Because it's like You got an entourage Where they walk you in the ring Right You know what I mean As soon as we're like All right homie
Starting point is 00:05:51 Like you got it now You know me It's on you. It's making us look good. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, at the end of the day, it's like, it's a one man. It's a one man gang, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's very similar.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Your hype man can't fight for you. Right. The height man can be there. It can be in the corner, like when you go in the corner, but you can't fight for you. So you being 33 and old right now. Yep. What made you take this Keith Derman fight? Do y'all know each other?
Starting point is 00:06:18 Because I feel like y'all fought me. I know from the amateur. You know what I was going to ask you? I never fought him in the amateur. Okay, cool. But, like, my goal in the boxing world was to be a two-division, like, two-division world champion, three-division world champion. I unified a hundred forty-pound weight class.
Starting point is 00:06:34 But you did two divisions already, right? Yeah, yeah, I won the 147-pound once-weight champion, but I unified 140. I was the champion with all belts, so I said I came to 147, I want to do the same thing. So he got a belt, and I won it, I need it. Wait, what does it mean unify the belt? Unified means you're the number one guy in the division. You got the belts. You got all the belts, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:06:54 Unified, dick, that's who we doing with drink drafts. Nica, we're unified. When champions collide, you know what I mean? Yo, but I'm not going to lie, Garcia. You, my man, a big fan of you. And at all the fights, like, I thought the Matissee fight was dangerous. I thought the Eric Morales was dangerous. I knew you was kind of going, you know, skip through the Zab Judah.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Ameri Khan, too. No, no, I'm not going to lie. I'm not. I was just like, I was waiting for the left. Yeah, yeah. The whole time, I was just waiting. I was rolling blunt Just like waiting for the left
Starting point is 00:07:22 Right As soon as the left come I ain't even got to look When I'm doing that John Yeah You brought You exposed his glass Joe
Starting point is 00:07:29 I'm sorry Ameri Khan But But I don't A bit up to monster Energy drink For it provides Some energy drink
Starting point is 00:07:35 With ants We're calling on it But that's okay But that's okay But For me I think this is Your most
Starting point is 00:07:41 Dangerous Bout to date Because y'all to me Remind each other In style Yeah yeah We both good punches, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:07:52 But, like, me, I don't feel that way, you know what I mean? I just feel like, like, I earned my spot in the boxing world. Of course you did. Yes, you did. Like, I beat all eyes. Like, I've been the underdog, most of America. I was an underdog, Lucas Matisse. Not in my world.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Yeah. Not in Puerto Rico. Yeah. Let's make some noise to me in Puerto Rico. They're always going with Danny. Right, right. They're racist sometimes. I get racist.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Yeah. But, uh, I just feel. Like, man, to be honest with you, he was, he was brought up the good way, you know what I mean? I mean, like, he never had to go against the eyes, like, he's never been in a fight where he was the underdog, you know what I mean? Who you're talking about, um, I'm talking about Thurman, yeah. Because his, his last fight were Porter. That was his biggest fight.
Starting point is 00:08:34 And it's arguably, I've been in bigger fights than that. A lot of people, a lot of people say that people think that Sean Porter kind of won that fight. Yeah, yeah, he won't by like, a point or two, you know? Oh, oh, Thurman, okay. It was unanimous, though. Oh, wow. But it was a close unanimous, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:08:49 Yeah, but a lot of people do point out that they think that Sean Porter won. It could have won either way. It was one of them fights where you can't be mad if either or a person won, you know what I mean? Now, have you ever had? I'm not a Sean Porter, right, you know what I mean? That's right. You're not, you know what I mean? Is there any fight you ever had and people who criticize you saying, maybe thought.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Yeah, yeah, I had a couple fights. Which one? The Peterson fight. People thought, you know. Okay, Peterson. I remember that. The black dude, yeah. Yeah, but I feel like, you know, you can't fight three rounds.
Starting point is 00:09:17 You can't just close it off, you know what I mean? Strong. You got to fight from round one to round one to the end, you know what I mean? And that's how you score a fight. If you tune in from the 10th round on, you probably thought he won, you know what I mean? Because he was getting off. But you got to count every single round. And in a championship fight, you just can't come to try to edge out of victory over the world champion.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Tell them, let's say that again, world champion. We got a world champion. We got a drink champs with the world champ. Let's make some fucking noise. Let's make a fucking noise. boxer is Puerto Rican It's very racist here That's why I agree
Starting point is 00:09:53 If you get a Cuban boxer You get a Cuban boxer You get a Cuban You know what As we're talking about I'm supposed to go to Cuba on Saturday Go out there, man
Starting point is 00:10:02 I can't go They They They everything was booked I'm supposed to do a little But say Trump already fucked it up I don't know about that But
Starting point is 00:10:09 Fidel died though So they're not letting nobody in the country Oh that makes sense That makes sense Yeah She didn't let my mother-in-law in the country Everybody who had Visas
Starting point is 00:10:18 and all that And Peyton, he was like, sorry. But I think she's a Cuban citizen. Yeah, she probably has a Cuban passport, but you make to wait. So when you see that, Danny, you'll be in a Puerto Rican, and you see that this Fidel Castro passed away, and it's like mixed reviews. Some people are celebrating, and some people are like,
Starting point is 00:10:35 ah, nah, that's messed up. What do you, what do you stand on your political views? Like, to be honest with you, I, like, I'm not from Cuba, so I don't know what thing people go through, you know what I mean? Like, so I really don't know. as far as like you know I know they're a communist country I don't really know you know
Starting point is 00:10:53 the country is so private that I don't know what they feel about it you know what I mean it's like I'm not from there but if you probably ask like a you know a Cuban bosser and a person who wins in Cuba and come to America then he could probably give them answers
Starting point is 00:11:06 but you being Cuban B how did you feel? Because I know your parents raised you to kind of hate Castro parents my grandparents I was happy for them more than anything because they got closure now right you know because they went through shit. We didn't go through it. They went through it. So you think it's going to be like a democracy now?
Starting point is 00:11:22 Oh, no. Are they building a W? Because I'm coming now. Trump is going to put Trump towers there. I'm nice to have the Trump Tower. But now, definitely something's going to change because he was such a strong symbol in that country that that's what kept it together for so long. But once he's gone and the people, it's already opened up because
Starting point is 00:11:38 Obama opened it. Right. They're not going to let that shit go back from. So big up to everybody. I'm a big of the DSG Hotel out there, which I'm yeah. St. Regis, baby. We need them. We need them good hotels out there. Right. So, Danny Garcia, you're out here stomping, you do what you got to do.
Starting point is 00:11:56 One thing that I admire is you keep your father around. He's not here today. I would try to give him drunk. He'd be out here on Friday. I was going to try to give him drunk. He'd be out of Friday. But he's, and your father feels like every time you had a problem, he had a problem. He's more like your brother.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Yeah, we like, we're Batman and Robbins. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? So, like, we partners in crime. I'm like, a lot of people can't. Like, when me and my pop, the relationship we have, a lot of other people don't have, like, me and my pop, we go to the club together, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:25 My dad, my dad are, right, right. We party with women. I'm like, yeah, this is my pop. He'd be like, no time I'm your dad. I'm a brother. You know what I'm doing? You know what I mean? So it's just like, we, man, we're cool, man.
Starting point is 00:12:39 We just be living. Yeah, my Puerto Rican grandfather, I swear a God, right? My Puerto Rican grandfather, he's like 70, 79, 80, 80 at this time. we go to this party and shit so he's sitting there and he goes yo poppy and I go what's up he'll hook me up with the girl in red
Starting point is 00:12:55 and I'm like this is your grandfather this is my grandpa my real Puerto Rican grandma my real grandfather he goes hook me up with the girl in the red I'm like yo your fucking wife is right here he goes she's no speaking English you know you Puerto Rican
Starting point is 00:13:09 you haughties in a day you know Puerto Rican's being horny and Florida Rican's being horny and talk that and then and then when he got um which that's that shit call when you lose your mind? Alzheimer's? When you got Alzheimer's, right?
Starting point is 00:13:22 The family kept saying, damn, you know, he kept losing them. But every time the woman from the family left, all my uncles was like, how the fuck he got Alzheimer's. He keeps winding up at his bitch career. He's 82. He's wound up at a chick career. So let's take up to the Puerto Rican's for doing that. But, yo, I really admire you
Starting point is 00:13:37 for keeping your father around. Most people would have got to a certain extent and said, you know what? Let me get a trainer, a professional trainer. Or even if they did do that, they the day would have said your pops is not yeah my dad my training oh that's go i mean i mean i could have been to that but me like it's all about chemistry you know what i mean like you can have a good training but you have no chemistry and just is going to show in the ring oh right and at the end of the
Starting point is 00:14:01 day you know i mean we we we had nothing before you feel me so this is all we we just we it's all plight for us right so for me to have another trainer and feed somebody else right and don't make no sense i'm just keep the money in the family no and i like that so we're going to get this money together yeah he talked to you and in that in that corner like when you you you're in that in that corner like when you y'all on the streets or just walking around, he got your back. But when you actually go to that corner, he's not telling you something that a trainer shouldn't tell you. So it's not even looking like it's coming from a father's perspective. It's looking like coming from a father that's a trainer's perspective.
Starting point is 00:14:34 He always gives you the right advice. Like, you know, in the face. Like, you're on the mind, I'd be thinking I'm an expert and shit. You know what I'm saying? So I'd be like, yo, when he go to the corner and I'm like, damn, Pop said exactly what I was what he said. Like, you know what I'm saying? And as a boxing fan and as a person, yeah, this is Elliot Wilson train. They hate us.
Starting point is 00:14:52 They pay every time we get something good to have a train come by, but that's okay. We check the charts today. They were like number 19. It's a big deal. Bigged them up, though, man. Bigged them up. But so, yeah, you keep your father around. You just had a daughter, correct?

So I'm training Philly and I try to be out here in between fights as much as I can. But, yeah, man, I'm a Philly kid until I die. So you're saying you're going to live here, but even when you go back to train, you're going to go back to Philly to train?

I mean, that's what keeps me, the grittiness, you know what I mean, the toughness is what keeps me at my best, you know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:21:39 I won When I beat Morales for the title When I beat Marales for the title And then I beat Amir Khan People were still skeptical Because I knocked him out I would say the Matisse fight The Matisse said
Starting point is 00:21:51 Yeah That's one like Danny's the man I thought that was dangerous Yeah yeah yeah Everybody thought I was going to win And he was easy for Argentina Yeah yeah The Matisa he was knocking
Starting point is 00:22:00 Everybody out Yeah you wore him out But I didn't understand Because I think I only saw One Eric Morales fight Why did you fight him twice. I had a rematch clause because he was the champion when I beat him.
Starting point is 00:22:09 So then they gave me one voluntary defense and then I had to fight him again. Oh, okay. When I asked you did you have one fight that you thought, people thought you didn't win, I thought that was the reason because I think I only saw one of the Eric Morales fight. But, you know, my brother, we were just, we're very, very, very, very, very

Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them. And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war, 2.0, is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in, to connect the dots.

Starting point is 00:27:21 Have you ever, at one point I heard it was rumors that you was going to fight Floyd. Was that true? Oh, sure. Um It was It was in the media It was in the media But nah
Starting point is 00:27:32 We got the same manager So Oh um Al-Haman Pick up Al-Haman Yeah So Nah
Starting point is 00:27:38 We never talked About fighting Floyd But um A lot of people thought Because when I fought Matisse He said he fought after me You know the whole mix up
Starting point is 00:27:44 You know the promotional thing But Right I thought I thought I probably well But um Nah never He never chose to fight me Now let me ask you
Starting point is 00:27:51 Something in boxing Because in boxing It seems like You guys all know each other Yeah But on a drop of a dime, you have to throw your relationship away if that, is, it does, am I
Starting point is 00:28:01 breaking that down, correct, or it's not... Nah, me, like, if you're in my weight class, I don't like you. You don't know what? Automatic. Yeah, if you're in my weight class, there's no way we've got to be friends, you know? So, when you hung out with Floyd, it was just like, what's up? And that's it. I mean, he's retired, supposedly. I mean, when he wasn't? Um, this is...
Starting point is 00:28:21 Nah, I mean, I'm cool with nobody, you know? What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wish I could have did that for rap. You should have taken. You told me this a long time. I can't, I can't be. We can't be cool. In my competition, you know what I could possibly fight y'all one day.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And me, I got to hate somebody to fight him, you know what I care for people and shit. So I got to hate somebody to fight. Because it seemed like as soon as you won the last fight and Derman brought up, it was just like, it's something that registered to you, like, I hate him now because this is definitely going down. And it's the contract assigned. everything's done and it don't change after the fight
Starting point is 00:28:59 you get cool with them afterwards I mean we might show sportsmanship depending on how I feel but I mean
Starting point is 00:29:08 man I don't know I just I'm a savage when I'm in the ring I can't be cool like you can't be cool with your robbers
Starting point is 00:29:16 like I don't care about them you feel me like I got my own life going on now did you have a relationship with Zab Judah prior to your fight
Starting point is 00:29:24 no also this was that was easy it was just Yeah, that was just bad blood. But now we're cool, like, you feel me? Cool. I see him around, you know, say what's up. Because I know I'll never fight him again.
Starting point is 00:29:34 So it's like, that's cool. Now. But you're an active boxer in my weight class. It's not, I hate you. Danny Garcia. Knocks out, Keith Thurman. Keith Thurman. Keith one-time Thurman.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Who does Danny Garcia fight after that? They're going to make somebody else again. You know? It's always a newcomer, and they're going to put a promotion behind him to build up the next fight. You feel me? Not Pachial. Pachial. That's a possible fight.
Starting point is 00:30:04 That's a possible fight. And if Floyd comes back, he's going to have to fight me because I got two belts. Hold on, Danny. Hold on, Danny. Hold on, Danny. That would be, I'm picturing the bag. I'm picturing the bag. And it's still registered.
Starting point is 00:30:20 I can't even look. I'm still with the back. You can't. That's so much money because. And then both undefeited. feed it. Before that's like you win the biggest motherfucker
Starting point is 00:30:29 Yeah, oh my God, oh my God Now, where's your biggest audience? Audience, like where... Like, my market, as far as boxing, like, where I find the most people. Like, yeah, yeah. Brooklyn. Yeah, Berkeley, for sure.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Yeah, I hold the gate. Wow. For a boxing event, the Barclan Center. Things like 14,000. Yeah, I hold the gate for a boxing event at the Barclan Center. And now I asked you earlier, where you thought the fight with you and Keith Thurman
Starting point is 00:30:58 you said you said Brooklyn or Vegas I feel like that fight is that big that it deserves that Vegas platform yeah me too yeah for sure because when it's a huge fight it's like it's a certain respect that the city does the town right like you know Brooklyn is great and it's dope but it's not a certain respect that the whole city is involved
Starting point is 00:31:17 but when it's a Vegas fight the whole city is involved but I'll tell you man you're gonna whip his ass anyway yeah but okay Brooklyn is I this the new makeup boxing bro I only been there once. The Barclays Senate. On the Barclays. It's killing it right now. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:30 They're killing it right now. Well, boxing, it's a no miss. Wow. It's a no miss. Oh. But if you prefer, if you had a chance to pick, what would you pick? Because that's what it is. It's up in the air between Brooklyn and...
Starting point is 00:31:46 I'm happy with both. I'm happy with both. But if I was to pick, I would say Vegas. Vegas. It's a better look and it's better financially. Right. You mean, you got the extra tax. New York tax, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:31:57 And then you fight for that money, you want every dime, you know what I mean? But they don't tax you in Vegas? They don't, no state tax. Income, uh, federal, yeah. But no state tax. Yeah, no state tax. Yeah, no state tax. Yeah, no state tax, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:08 I ain't gonna lie. I'm so much of a boxing fan that I stop going to actual fights because sometimes you sitting down and there jumps in front of you and shit. And he paid $10,000 to sit right there. You want to be like, yo, my dude, put your Frank down, man. Sit down. Man, I can't see. But for this fight,
Starting point is 00:32:25 I think I might come out. I got you. Let me know. Whatever it is. Let's make some noise. I got you. I got you. I got you.
Starting point is 00:32:30 I got you. I got you. I got you. Oh, my God. Because to me, you know, I'm a fan of both of you guys. And I actually kind of seeing you guys come up. And I feel like this is going to be electric. And I feel like, you know, this is the fight.
Starting point is 00:32:46 I mean, to me, you're already, the super champion. You're already who you are. But sometimes, you know, you know, you got to face a big challenge. Like I follow Floyd his whole career And he's fought the guy Who's the guy But then he beat them And he was in shit
Starting point is 00:33:04 And he wasn't, and he wasn't And I'm telling you If you get through this and you continue You're gonna follow the same thing It's not that you ain't fighting Craziest fighters It's like when you fought Matisse You made them look so sloppy
Starting point is 00:33:15 That's going to take you to the next level It's just like It's like going to hospital for four years Then you become a doctor Or you whatever you know me I already got my master's degree You know what I mean? So this is the fight that's going to make me, you know what I mean?

Her family, you know, they're doing the easy. He's a twin, too, you know what I'm a twin, too, you know what I'm saying. My little sister's buzzing more than me right now. Yeah, I see that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Yeah, but that's dope, man. I appreciate all the love, man, all the support, man, for sure. So if you had your pick after this win, you already said they're going to make up somebody, but if you had your pick after this win. I want the biggest fight, like either Floyd Meweather or Mani Pack, yeah. I want that for you, too, man. I'm just, he's still looking at the numbers, man. I mean, it's only, you don't make sure you don't change your phone number.
Starting point is 00:35:19 This is the fight where they say, you know, they say this guy's, You know, one of the best welterways. You've found me? Yeah. Yeah. So after that, there's no weather fight for me. And he's totally. No, he's shorter to me.
Starting point is 00:35:30 He's shorter to me? He's shorter than me? Yeah, yeah. Oh, when I looked at y'all squaring all. Yeah, he had some high heels on and shit. Oh, yeah, all right? Oh, yeah. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Holy shit. We got some good shit on trick chance once out now. Right. Oh, that's crazy, man. This is, this is going to be. And I'm afraid is in March, you said. March 4th. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Showtime CBS. So up until this point. Free TV, you feel what I'm doing? Yeah, big of, oh, oh, that was a question I had to ask. Previous, premier boxing championships. Oh, wow. Yeah, boxing, the championship backs and boxing back on free television. Now, is that good or bad for the, I know, because I know, you've been on there, like, twice now?
Starting point is 00:36:10 No, it's good for the boxing fans. And, I mean, it's good for the fighters, you know, we getting paid good money. So I think it's a win for everybody, you know what I mean? How about pay-per-view? You like pay-per-view or? Yeah, of course. Paperview, yeah, of course you're going to get paid. If it, if it does good, you get paid more, but if it don't, you know, it got affected.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Oh, that's how it works. Yeah, yeah. Your bag is... You get, like, a minimum purse, right? Right. Like, say your minimum purse is $100, you feel me? It's like commission off of... Yeah, and they'll be like, all right, you're going to split the pay-per-view three ways, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:36:41 And then whatever, after what it sells, say you make another $100, you feel me, then you split it three ways or whatever, between you, the fighter and the promoter. But that's why Floyd get paid so much. Because he gives the fighter, one flat, you get paid. rate and keeps all the pay-per-view revenue. Yeah, he don't let them get a pay-per-view revenue. This makes a noise for Floyd being a 360-boggling. It's a 360 deal, God damn. That's a record deal right there. You know, it's crazy. I'm looking at the logo and the two boxing gloves right behind them. It's just ill right now. Look at the logo. Wait, are you looking at the wrong logo? Look right behind them, man.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Oh, no, oh. I'm like, you know, what are doing you? It just looks ill in the two boxes. Yeah, your first athlete, man. Yo, thank you so much, man. Oh, sure, man. But listen, man. But listen, man, so. So how does a kid from the hood, right? He's from Philly. Dude snuffed him. He knocked him out and realized he got hands. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:32 How does he say, instead of me going out and beating up kids in the hood, how do I get started professionally boxing? Like, what is those steps that a kid takes from the hood? To be honest, it's simple to be a professional boxing. Don't get it messed up. Like, as long as you pass your physical and not. simple to make money, but simple to be a professional box. Yeah, simple to be a professional boxing.
Starting point is 00:37:56 You could do your physical, passion, physical, and you get your license, and you fight. Wow. That's that simple. And that's it. You might get, like, four or five dollars, you feel? Right, right. But for me, man, I always had the vision,
Starting point is 00:38:08 you know what I mean? Like, when I was a kid, I always wanted to be a sports star. Like, I love sports, you know what I mean? So my vision was like, I wanted to be a sports star. And like I said, I played all the sports, you know what I mean? And I just love boxing. It what made you pick boxing out of all the sports? Well, you know, my dad loved boxing.
Starting point is 00:38:25 You grew up watching Felix Trinidad. Right. And grew up watching a lot of great champions. And I just loved that. I used to shadow boxing in front of the gym. I mean, front of the pop, because in Philly, you can't box to you 10 because insurance don't cover for kids. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:38:39 So when I was young, I went when I was seven. Wow. And then they found out my age, and I couldn't box. So then my pop had went to, my pop went to college for like three years. You don't know what I mean? No, I forget it. You went away. I was, I was, I was, I'm believing it too.
Starting point is 00:38:56 It went up to college. I was in college, too. My dad went away for three years. Yeah, but I was doing that part of my dad. My dad went away for three years. And then I used to always talk to him. He said, when I get out of, you know, when I get out of college, you know what I'm saying? Right.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I'm going to take you to the gym, and we stepped in when I was 10, and I never turned back. Let's make some noise for that, girl. Yeah. Now, what was your toughest fight to you? you what was the fight that you thought like forget the critics forget what everybody said what was the time when you got hurt or something where you got hit
Starting point is 00:39:28 and you just you stood there and act like you wasn't hurt but you was hurt to be honest with you like every fight was hard in the way you know what I mean everybody has yeah everybody has a different style a different style so you got adapt to each fighter but some I'm a fighter
Starting point is 00:39:45 might be fast a fighter might be powerful a fighter might be smart so you're going to learn you're going to learn on each fight so I think every fight was tough in a way especially when you find at the championship level you're going to go in there they're going to give you different looks and as a champion you got to go in there and make an
Starting point is 00:40:00 do you study tapes how they you see fights studying people I don't study many tapes I might watch one fight just to see what I'm having front of me so just one is enough for you yeah I just watch like four rounds or some I just want to see what's in front of me like I had that vision in my head of how he's going to be in front of me so that way could like play out of my head
Starting point is 00:40:16 I don't remember remember the dude that Fort Floyd Mayweather and his father was Mexican 2. What was it? Guerrero? Yeah, yeah. You fought him too. Yeah, I fought Garero. Yeah, you beat him up too. Now, he's taller in you, right? He's a lot more. He's a little shorter than me, yeah. These niggas look mad
Starting point is 00:40:34 taller than you on TV, man. No, but I'm taller to him too, yeah. What? Nah, man. Yeah, yeah, I'm talking to him. Yeah, I'm talking to Yeah, I'm talking to. Yeah, I'm tired of Floyd. Yeah, I'm tired of my weight class. I'm not a tall guy. I'm 5-9, you know what? I mean, average, you feel But I'm big for my weight, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:40:52 To me, I thought he was mad bigger than you, well. No, no, I'm tired of him. Okay, now how about... Okay, let's break down a little bit. Yeah, yeah, they were about to fight. Yeah, yeah, they was about to fight. Yeah, I love your father. Your father's there.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Your father's like, nigga, we're going to pull in. Right. They're about to fight. You got to see what all here just posting, man. This shit crazy, man. Okay. Look, hold on. Okay, come on for me off.

Starting point is 00:41:53 He's in the field right now Big him up Whatever you fight That is the enemy And he's with you 100% Man, we ride it man It's our versus the world That's how it'd be sometimes
Starting point is 00:42:05 That's how I gotta be man So now is there one fight that you ever had And you was like If I had a chance I would have did this better Probably every fight Yeah Oh you could you criticize yourself like that
Starting point is 00:42:17 Because I know what I'm capable of you know what I mean so I know my full potential I know what the best Danny Garcia could do but like I said before I'm just I'm learning every fight you know what I mean but every fight I feel like I could have did better
Starting point is 00:42:32 even my best performances I was like damn I could have knocked them out but I didn't even though I had a great fight but I'll be like man I could have knocked them out or I could have did this I could have did that so every fight I never I don't know I always think I could do better
Starting point is 00:42:47 you know what I mean nah man you've been Doing excellent. So let me ask you about other fighters right now. What do you feel about Earl Spence? Good fighter. He's a good fighter. He's not in your weight class, is it?
Starting point is 00:43:00 Yeah, we're in the same way? Yeah, so he hates him. Oh, okay. Yeah, I hate him, too. Now, you're your own promoter as well, correct? Yeah, my last fight was D.S.G promotions. Wow. Well, my last three fights was D.
Starting point is 00:43:12 D.S.G promotions. Now, what made you do that? You don't want to split the bag? No, I mean, it's, of course, you want to, I'm want to start building my own promotional company. I got two fighters also on Swift Promotions. What's the responsibility to be your own promotion company? What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:43:28 Well, you know, you're promoting the fight. You know what I mean? Now I get to have fighters, fight on my undercar. You know what I mean? I'm building my company. I'm learning as it going. Because until Oscar and Floyd kind of like perfected that, back then that was unheard of fighters being their own promoters.
Starting point is 00:43:41 And if they did do it, most fighters didn't succeed. Yeah, exactly. It's a lot of work, but you've got to have a good team, you know what I mean? Right. But, yeah, I got two fighters under me, two young fighters. They both undefeated. One's Thomas Velasquez, he's 6-0. He's obviously another, he's a Puerto Rican for Philly, too.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Oh, what? Big hip-a. Yeah, and my little cousin, Jeffrey Torres, he's 2-0. He's another, you know what I mean? You sign that, niggas. Yeah, yeah, for sure. You're signing Puerto Ricans. This is what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Let's make some noise of Puerto Ricans coming back. They're coming back in style. Right, when I created the Swift Promotions, I was the first Latino I was the first Puerto Rican champion ever from Philadelphia I'm the first Latino to become a world champion
Starting point is 00:44:25 ever from Philly so before me it was no lane you know what I mean it was just like why go to Philly and get a Puerto Rican and where you could go to Puerto Rico
Starting point is 00:44:32 and make Felix Trinidad Miguel Koldo and they got a country behind them so why go to North Philly and you know go to that market you feel me so they always overlooked that
Starting point is 00:44:42 so what I did was I was like you know what I mean I signed all kind of fighters but I was like since I opened up that lane for Puerto Ricans in Philly, I'm gonna start giving more Puerto Ricans who box in Philly more exposure. Because
Starting point is 00:44:56 it's so much kids in Philly they can fight but don't get the attention and the exposure and they deserve. So I feel like that's my way of giving back to the Filiacans. Now how does the islands of Puerto Rico because for us rappers, a lot of times most of them, they don't look at us like
Starting point is 00:45:13 we're real Puerto Ricans. They look at us like they even have a word for us. They call us New York Ricans. That's why I say Philly Regan. Oh, yeah. All right. Because it'd be kind of tough. It'd be like black niggas going to Africa and be like,
Starting point is 00:45:27 you're like, yo, you're my cousins. Nicks are like, no, we are not. I am from Alibaba. I am from the depths of Zimunda. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're from Harlem. It's like that. I can imagine in boxing is hard for American Puerto Rican.

Starting point is 00:46:06 That Joe is. Yeah, all of Dino's had a guy, yeah. Big pun. See, it shouldn't be like that. It shouldn't be divided. Like, if we're Puerto Rican, we're Puerto Rican. Just because we was raised in Philly, we raised in a different place, you don't make, it's not Puerto Rican, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:46:19 Exactly. It's not my fault. I was raising, I was raising around blacks and white. It took years, it took years for me to come as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a American artist that is Puerto Rican, it took years. It took, like, I was about 10 years.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Like, this wasn't no quick thing. Like, I wasn't, like, yo, I grabbed the mic, you're on Puerto Rican. They was like, cool, you're in the one of us. No, it took 10 years. And it had to be Reagan, though. You broke a day and that had to be ragged at home. They have to be like, right. Maybe it was one of us.
Starting point is 00:46:47 No, but I feel like... He looks black as shit still, but maybe he's one of us. But I feel like that's growing, though.

Starting point is 01:02:09 that just sounded people made up. But he, but... Yeah, he did not. He did give up. I don't know what he did, but... But in your opinion, right now, would you ever do something like that? Never.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Can you look at the person like a real boxer or even a real champion? I mean, I don't know a situation. Right. But he didn't have a bruise on his face. He didn't look to... He looked like he could go to... whole 12 to me. And the
Starting point is 01:02:34 dude, what was it? Lomachenko? Yeah. He's good, but it was like Yeah. It was kind of like it was like American style. Like he was mimicking Yeah. Some, something, like, who he think he would be. I'm not saying, I think L.Cinco is actually ill.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Yeah, me too. But don't he got a loss? I think he's like, seven and one. Seven and one. Yeah. And they say he's pound for pound. All right. I'm 33 and O, two weight classes. I ain't pound for pound. Yeah, this is politics. And where's he from? He's from Ukraine. Yeah, he's from Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:03:02 They don't give American fighters The credit they deserve But it's cool I mean it is what it is I think Trump boys working out I mean I think the kid is Talented but like the way they talk about them they talk about them like
Starting point is 01:03:15 I mean that's one thing I give about HBO They really make people believe Because they say they don't fight on HBO I'm not an HBO fighter I fight on PBS you feel me So HBO They really make the public believe that they fighters are the best
Starting point is 01:03:30 So Max Kellerman and people go up HBO You don't believe Max Kelly? Like, they go off, they make their own pound for pound list, you feel me? HBO. Yeah, and people go off that list. Like, those are really the best time for my fighters. It's like, yes.
Starting point is 01:03:41 It's like they poisoned the minds of people. They got the other show, Fight Night, too. Yeah, but that's, that's HBO. They don't ever talk about Danny Garcia, you feel me? They're going to talk about everybody fucking on HBO. I didn't beat that. Yeah. It's like, it's two different, it's like three different divisions in Boston.
Starting point is 01:03:56 And so when you say you, the PB, what is it? PBC, yeah. That's not showtime. Premier Boston champions. That's not showtime. No. Well, so you're like a free agent. Yeah, I'm quick.
Starting point is 01:04:04 So you can go to any, either one. Yeah, I'm swift for motion. Alheim is my manager, yeah. Al-Hanman. But PBC was created for all championship for fighters to fight on regular TV. So if you're on PVC, you fight on regular TV. And now, and that bag is
Starting point is 01:04:17 crazy when it's on regular TV? Because everybody could get it for free, so you get more viewers. Yeah. So there's more advertising. It's like us, yeah, it's like the advertising. We make it more money with people on HBO. I'll tell you that much.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Probably triple what they make. Ah. This is. Deep. There's probably a lot of room for negotiation on that one because of the advertising potential. Yeah, commercials. I mean, I, you know, it's just, we're just getting PBC getting money, man. If you're on PBC, you're losing money. Oh, man. I didn't know. We were the money yet, you feel me?

Starting point is 01:05:22 did he say, is it? He said that. You know, Roberta Durant, when he fought Sugar Ray, he said that he didn't want to, um, the folk story is. Oh, Lord. Folklore is that Sugar Ray was whipping him and Duran didn't want to
Starting point is 01:05:38 take it no more, didn't want to chase him no more, so he said no mimes. And that's like the first time, like, a guy's a real, real champion, but that moment it was kind of like being a sucker. And, especially in the boxing board. But what's his thing was, he beat Sugar Ray Lanner
Starting point is 01:05:53 before that. He did? Yeah, he beat Sugar Ray the first time. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. He got a year. I think I did it.
