Massive, massive episode today, boys, we got fucking Canello coming in. I think it's his only interview that he's really doing before the fight, too. Yeah, that's fucking late. I mean, he's sick. He's obviously, I mean. He's an absolute legend. I don't know how we get him. You guys always ask us, how do you get these people?

But it's pretty crazy. It's fucking really cool to be able to sit down with people like this, too. Oh, absolutely. These are the days where it's like, yeah, this is the most lit job ever. 100%. I was like, wow, pretty grateful to do this. How was it? wake up this morning i woke up this morning and just dude was had a what-the-fuck moment like i haven't had

that in a while how long like a week and a half two weeks no i drink but i never like get to that point i really don't bro like i don't ever get to that point yeah and um i always like to be in control but uh yeah no i went through my phone texted a lot of people one of those scaries but you just own it can we talk about it or no yeah i guess gambles woke up this morning and he uh he had seven missed calls from Stiney at one, seven. Seven? Yeah, of course you're boosting. Seven missed calls from Steinie at 1.45 a.m.

And I guess you were ringing on our doorbell last night at 2 a.m. I don't know what my motive was, bro. I wish I knew why. I know what you were looking for. Like, I don't know what it was. We went to bed super early because we're fucking, you guys have been seeing. We're posting. We're on the fucking, we're on a gym mission right now.

Monday to Saturday. Yeah. Been dialed, admit it. Yeah, no, you guys, I've never seen this in my life, bro. It's crazy. We've been dialed. We're just trying to, basically, the cheat code boys is, we're still partying. It's chicks.

It is chicks. If you cannot get distracted by- That's something, I guess, were you, what the fuck happened to you? You weren't even chasing pussy last night, though. I was chasing money. Yeah, I was trying to get my money back. It was a fucking, it was bad, bro. I think if you could just keep the chicks to Saturday, every Saturday.

Like, that's what I said. I'm fucking working out Monday to Saturday. Then Saturday morning you work out, possibly even get a two a day in Saturday. Yeah. And then you hit the fucking town. and you wheel. Are you beating off more? I'm beating off, yeah.

But, like, more? Not more. Probably, I mean. You don't just get, like, bored and shit? That's how I get distracted. You get bored, but it's either you make gains or be bored. Fuck, bro. No, you're right.

But I've been doing pretty well. You even asked me today, like, oh, why don't I bring, like, that chick over tonight? You could say whatever you want, but when you bring them over, something is going to be affected, guaranteed. Yeah. Like, they're going to want to drink. It's like, I don't even want to, like, I want to stay dialed until Saturday. Every Saturday is the day.

You earn that every single time. do you think what's like your ultimate goal with this one of i think it's going to be great for my career i just i mean like looks wise i want to be jacked like fighter jacked i don't know i mean for i'm going to shred down first and i might get a little bit skinny because i'm trying to lose the barrel yeah and then after that i'll build back up a little bit okay but till thanksgiving november i'm probably going to stick to this like would you feel comfortable with taking a urine test because i think you're taking something i can yeah i will i seriously i don't know bro i just think you're on something well i'm not your strength is very well i'm not your strength is

you're strong as fuck now you said you put up 225 no problem not no problem i i can't said you were throwing weight around which i never said that was throwing 25 around okay well that's big respect i could do like one and a half reps and then some days i can't even do it because i'm not just i guess it varies but bro we're turning 30 next year like chill bro i'm pushing 28 you're 29 not 28 i'm not close i'm closer to 28 than 30 you think on your 30th it's like dope like people are going to chirp us for being 30 they're already chirping us for being 29 so like it'd be dope if you were like a shredded 30 year old yeah because then it's like okay and I honestly feel like 30 30s that sniping age too like the 30s could actually be the

best years of our life honestly you can actually snipe all chicks in the 30s too no 30s are definitely I think that's where you can snipe older chicks and then you can still snipe like the 25 year olds what do you're you're in the best sniping range in your 30 yeah but I don't go for like older like than 30 ever do you but you can in your 30s if you have you if you so choose I have before, but I'm not super into it. I'm not a huge, like, let's fuck a milf guy, you know what I mean? Yeah, me neither. I'd rather fuck a young milf.

Yeah, I'm not a huge milf guy at all. No, I'm not, like, the cougar, cougar bars and shit, it's just not really for me. Yeah, it's just like, it's actually like having a mommy. But I can't say I've done it enough that I can really diss it. Yeah, no, I haven't done it. I don't even think I've ever been with a milf. I've taken down a lot of young moms. I know you have.

Like 25-year-olds. What's good with that? I don't like that, it freaks me out. You got to know how to handle them. But it's just like the fact that that chick has had a kid, like, and you're putting your dick in them, I don't know. Well, it's got to be a rich young mom. Yeah. All the young moms I've taken down, like, their families are loaded.

So you know they're not after you for, like, money. Like, their grandparents take care of the kid and shit. They're still out partying in the clubs. Aren't you worried about, like, going to... They're shitty moms, but they're hot. Aren't you worried about, like, going to the fridge and, like, the kid comes out of his room and you have to have that... Well, I've never been to their house. Oh.

No. Oh, okay. They got to slam you at least, what, five times before you meet the kid? Fuck, see, that's the thing is, like, what if you find a really hot girl that you really get along with, but she has a kid? Would you do it? I mean, I'm not even... Like, into a relationship with them. It would take me so much to get into a relationship in general, dude.

Right now, it's just so much work. I'm so happy being single. Damn, dude. Not because it's just like... Oh, you're like motivating me. I feel like I've got to change my fucking ways. You guys are coming back from the gym. I'm waking up fucking...

Yeah, you were probably still awake. different planet bro you were probably still awake when we woke up yeah probably we woke up at 6 a.m. fuck bro yeah no it just feels good bro I just like I like partying still obviously but it's just like it's the fucking it's the balance plus I think yeah can we talk can we talk about what made you want to have this motive no I mean it's just I think it's it's good for everything like especially yeah we're getting older like now it's people want to see us be more of like role models like we got the fucking we obviously party yeah we got the business shit going you know we got the empire but i think the one thing missing is just being like fucking jacked i know i need to clean up my act and

like healthy yeah and then but also i don't want to be a pussy that doesn't fucking party like i'm not gonna be i'm not gonna go sober or some shit and i'm not dissing people that go sober but i'm i'm still gonna rip i know i'm kind of over sometimes i'm kind of over the partying though i just dude i am you got fucking blacked out on a monday man You're not over partying. Well, going through, like, this rebrand and stuff, like, I'm really, I'm trying to do what you're doing more. I just, dude, I have urges and I can't control it. Yeah.

You're fucking, like, pretty easily tempted. Your thing is just, like, sex, though. What do you mean? Like, you can't give that up. I mean, it's pretty fucking hard. You're like a cuddle addict, too. Yeah, dude, I like to have a companion. Like, you can't have one night without a chick.

I mean, I like to have somebody with me, bro. I know, well, you got to get over that. You don't get lonely? No. I don't. I thought I would after I was single, but I have to, I'm not going to lonely at the house. I'm not going to lie. Okay, well, get over it. What's going to happen? Are you going to die?

Just, like, sleeping alone? So people know, like, at the house, we don't really all kick it, I realize. Well, because I go to bed early and wake up early. You could come to the gym with us. Yeah. Like, it's just, I'm just dialed. Fuck. There's nothing to kick it past fucking 9.30, 10 on a week night. Yeah.

If you're waking up at 5 a.m. Yeah. No, you're right. Yeah. But I don't know. I think that's the key. You just got to put aside pussy for fucking three months. Because no matter what, the chicks will want to do. drink and they maybe not other guys but with us they just look at us and they're like okay like no boys i want to party with them yeah you know what i mean yeah they don't come with us to play chess or fucking read books yeah exactly that's also like our flex though that's the problem yeah it's good

and it works yeah it's a it's a blessing and a curse right yeah but i think it'll be cool i'm gonna try to do it till like november thanks like thanksgiving that's one it is right american thanksgiving yeah so are we gonna pick up uh irl streaming yeah maybe yeah tried out i think it would be cool i think that what's your honest opinion on that and do you do you get scared about it i think of in what way just the fact that it's like real time like no nothing edited basically not not really i don't think so dude i don't i don't know why but i'm just kind of surprised like i have had this feeling that something bad's going to happen to a streamer well there's already bad shit that's probably happened to streamers in the past right but i'm just saying like now that

you're doing this in real life definitely well if everyone's going to start to do it and the thing about us is when we do something we're going to do it properly and smart yeah but like obviously everyone else is just going to run around with their heads cut off and try it so there's definitely going to be bad shit that's going to happen yeah but i think it would be big for us just purely for the fact that like just the clips like we talked about go viral just because it's live and you know it's live yeah like if i show speed lights fireworks off in his room in a youtube video or on a live stream it's obviously going to go more viral in the clip when it's live because you're like yo that was live like it just looks more raw.

Yeah, 100% I'm saying. So I think if we're not going to like stream all the time but I think if we did it every once in a while I think it would be big for us. Huge.

But it's definitely conflicting with YouTube. Yeah. So that's where we have to figure out that balance. Yeah, for sure. I think it would be cool. All right, let's get Conello in here.

Amazing, amazing episode. Absolute legend in the house. We got Canello. Fired up. Thanks for coming through, bro. We really, really appreciate you. Oh, my pleasure.

Thank you for this. Of course. So what's this week been like and what does this new fight kind of mean to you? No, it means a lot. Every fight means a lot for me. But this fight especially means more and the other because he never believed in my skills. And now I'm able to prove him to show him my skills and that's something amazing for me. You're one of, like, the best of all time, like, you're literally a boxing legend.

Like, how do you, what, like, motivates you still to, like, fight? I love what I do. I love boxing, and I love being in these big fights and fight like this. I just enjoy what I do and love what I do. That's why I still motivate in boxing. So I think I have many things to do. and more history to accomplish. What are some of those goals that you want to get?

Or what's like something you just have to achieve in your career? Just fight the best and try to do the best fights out there and that people enjoy. And, you know, like I always do, moving up and way classes and go down and win world titles. That's the only thing I want. in my career. Do you think a lot of people are, like,

it seems like you're being counted out by a lot of people in this fight too. Like, it seems like a lot of people think that Charlo could, like, upset you. Yeah, they want. Yeah. That's why they want. But I do it is different.

That's different because he's going to feel something different in the ring with me. He's not the same fighters he's used to to fight. It's going to be different, and I'm going to show them. I know they want. they want everybody wants him to beat me but it's gonna be difficult where does he rank amongst like your past opponents do you think no he's he's a great fighter he's a good fighter he's a strong fighter

he know how to to box he know how to go forward he's a strong fighter with a lot of skills but you know I'm in in this position for a long time I fought with every every style and I'm ready for for for everybody do you think that you're like in your best shape you've been in your career right now? Yeah, your best ability, even though you're older now than like... Yeah, I feel one of the best shapes in my life. I feel in my prime, and this camp especially is one of the best in my career. Are you playing golf during camp or no, or do you stay away?

No golf at all? That's difficult for me, no play golf. It sucks up your back, right? Yeah, but no, that's difficult for me, not play golf because I love golf so much. But, you know, first is first, and I need to... I need to work and be disciplined, focus for the fight, and I don't play golf like two months and a half. Damn, do you miss it?

Yes, it's tough. Golf is the best. I mean, how good is your game? It's good. What are you shooting? 80. 80, 78, 80. Ooh, you're breaking 80?

Yeah. How long have you been playing? Three, four years. Damn. What made you decide to pick up golf? One of my friends invited me to play golf in the pandemic. and that's how I started in golf at the beginning I hit the ball everywhere you know sometimes I don't hit the ball and that's when I realized because before I say no it's boring

like like for it looks boring from the outside right when you when you start playing it's fucking addicted so that's how I start and you're already breaking 80 in four years that's yeah my best is 74 dang but I nice to shoot under par right yeah it's hard for me because when i start training i you stop practice i stop everything and to start again it's like you want to start again the tempo timing everything you never even broken 100 probably yeah i have i have i can hit low 90s 90s yeah yeah that's that's fine because you you in golf you can you can play with your handicap and that's that's funny yeah exactly who's your favorite golfer i have

Yeah, a few, yeah. Rory, John Ram, Justin Thomas, Finole, Sergio, Sergio. When I started, when I have like two months playing, I play pro-am with them in Mexico. No, like a practice round with them, and he gave me a little tips, because he's light, you know. Sergio, he freaks out a little bit, though. Yeah. Yeah, he has problems with the poles. Yeah, he had problems with the pot, I think. You seem like you keep your composure pretty well out there.

He's Spanish, that's way. I have to ask you this. It's kind of like, it happened a week ago or whatever, but what do you think about the aliens? I don't know, man. Bro, do you believe them? You saw, like, Mexico showed the skeletons? Yeah, I saw that, but I really don't care. Yeah.

They look pretty fake. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just curious. I really don't care. I don't know. If something's going to happen, it's going to happen, right? I really don't care if the aliens exist, we want to figure out, right? Yeah.

No, I just thought it was a big moment for Mexico. This was your first time not fighting on the Mexican Independence Day, too, right? No, it's a couple times. A couple times? I miss that. Okay. That day, especially for this, I don't have the contract yet, the fight ready. But I don't care too because every day is Mexican day for.

for my fans and for my people yeah they're some of the best fans ever are went to your fight against triple g and it's actually insane how passionate they are yeah if you see right now in the ryan arrival they are they're scheming and and support me very hard and that's that's something motivating myself how big is the fighting culture in mexico like how did you even get into it because my older brother he started boxing i saw him when he go into a pro and that's when i when i saw him fighting i say this is what i want for my life this is this is this is what i do for my for my life and then when you got in there did you just pick it up right away yeah not not right way because yeah natural because i start when i was

13 years old and i get into a pro when i was 15 so a year and a half after and you were still working at the time at the ice cream shop? Yeah. So what was that like? Was your dad trying to force you to kind of just work? Yeah, he don't want me to go to the gym because he wanted me to stay working in the ice creams. But I said, you know, you're going to,

you need to do something because I'm always going to go to the game. So what do you think like your draw was to the sport? Like what made you love boxing so much? I don't know. I've borne from this. Yeah. that's my only thing because when I saw my brother fighting I fall in love in boxing with boxing so but I don't know I just enjoy every moment were you bullied at all as a kid in Mexico

yeah because I'm the different from the class right maybe that's why I I love what I do and because I always fighting in the streets yeah oh so you used to fight in the street yeah every day damn like how would that happen just random people Or you guys were just... No, they say something to me, like freckles and my red hair, you know. Yeah, they tried to fuck with me. And I... You just fucked them out?

Yeah. But I love. I love it. I enjoy it a lot. Yeah, that's fucking nuts. What do you think are some of the, like, the biggest moment? Or what's been your favorite moment in your career, you think? I think I have a lot of good moments.

But one of my best moment is when I, beat Miguel Angel Cotto, a legend from boxing. I think that changed my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, I feel more confident, a better fighter and I think is, is, that's one of my best moments. How about, how about fighting, I mean, you fought Floyd Mayweather at what? Were you 23? 23. That's so fucking young.

Yeah. Like, I, I, and he was like, that was one of his. No, he was in his prime, right? Prime, prime, and you're only 23? 23. What was that like? I trained so hard, and now, obviously, I tried to beat him because, you know, if you beat him, you want to be the best in the world at 23.

So imagine that. But, you know, he was the better man that night, a lot of experience. He's a great fighter, so. But I learned, I learned a lot. And that's when I realize, I say, this is no, don't want to stop me. I'm going to be the best one day, no matter what. So that fight held me a lot.

What do you think about how he's doing all the exhibitions and stuff right now? I think it's good. I think it's good because, you know, that's what I... It's just too easy money to turn down, probably, right? Yeah, easy money. And he don't lie to the people. It's for money, right? and that people enjoy it and enjoy a show and that's fine because you know i think when you're

retiring and you want to miss boxing because you do this your whole life and then you stop doing i think exhibition is is is good like Tyson fury even he always retires and comes back to and like i guess you just you're going to miss doing what you love right yeah do you ever like look back on that fight and think about what you could have done differently or yeah yeah yeah I always think I can do this different and this and this, but at the end of the day, I can do nothing. What do you think was so impressive about him? His experience, he's so smart.

He... Longbandy Twizzler's Candy keeps the fun going. going Twizzlers Keep the fun going He has everything in a fighter A complete fighter He don't have power in the punches

But sometimes you know You know when you that kind of fighter You don't need it Yeah and do you think You think that was the toughest fight you faced No What do you think he was? I tough fights and difficult fights

That was a difficult fight Okay Yeah I think Golokkin is one of my difficult fights as top fights yeah do you like know did were you getting frustrated like in the ring yeah very much with him yeah I try to

I try to to hit so hard him and and try to know knock out him and when you don't you don't get you don't catch him and you know you miss a lot of punches that that's hard

yeah that's good would you ever do like exhibitions like that or like people like Jake Paul call you out or these like other big stars like is that is that business wise like even worth it when I'm done with boxing why no maybe maybe I do it why not I think it's like when you're done like competing at the highest level you're saying yeah yeah yeah yeah I think it's good because you know what happened there is other people who never see watch boxing or They don't know anything about boxing. They want to watch Jay Powell because he's coming from,

he's bringing fans from other world, right? No boxing fans. And that's good. That's good because everybody enjoys it. So you think you would ever, would you ever entertain that idea when you're done? Maybe. Maybe. Do you like respect, you know, there's this whole new wave of, like, YouTube fighters?

Like, do you respect them as fighters? As a fighters, I don't know. because being a fire and is different but what they do I think they do for business and you need to respect that

yeah for sure are you paying attention at all to this the Dylan Dennis Logan Paul you've seen that card at all not at all no no no I don't know what you're talking are you like pretty active on social media no sometimes I delight my apps in my

in my phone delete them yeah and i don't watch i don't watch what for just to like stay focused or just yeah i you don't like to consume you you lose so much time right i know you lose and you see and you don't the same things every every day you don't see anything new so you just you don't even really have social media on your phone at all or like when do you yeah sometimes i delayed for six seven months damn i have my people who when charged and posting things and everything like that but uh sometimes it's good because you know you're more happy definitely well you're just you don't

you're just sitting there scrolling and you're consuming so much pointless shit that you don't even you're wasting time sometimes i've been in the in seeing things and i say i see this every day the same thing nothing changed yeah it's a lot of stuff you don't need to know yeah it's true yeah it's definitely not good for your mental health right what are some other hobbies that you have outside of golf? I like horses. I like horses, cars, too. How many cars do you have?

I don't know. You have that many? I saw a video of a tour in your house and you had like motorcycles in your living room and stuff. Yeah. That was the garage. Oh. But in the, like a hall, it's like a motorcycle.

How many cars like, is it like 20 to 30 or like, you just have no clue? Yeah, like more than 30. More than 30. Do you have a favorite? La Ferrari. Oh, yeah. My favorite. And the Bugatti, too, but I think La Ferrari is my favorite.

some else. Maybe like a crocodile or something. What about like a baby tiger? What if we got you baby tiger? He's fine.

That'd be good, right? Yeah. For the house? It would be fun. Who were some of your biggest inspirations? Me? Mohamed Ali.

Because he do a lot of things outside of boxing for people. For us, for the fighters too. Yeah. I was going to ask you, what's something like you've done

for Mexico that you're just super proud of. I always try to help people, a lot of people. But I don't like to say in social media because I do from the bottom of my heart. So, but I always try to help as much I can. Everything I can help, I do it. What was it like being in Creed 3? I don't know how to respond that because it's just like a- fast. Yeah, it was fun. It's fun that people think I'm going to be in the ring or something.

They want to watch me in the ring and something, but it's just fast like in the red carpet. That's it. It was fun. Do you like doing stuff like that, like the Hollywood stuff or movies, TV? I don't like that kind of stuff. But I, you know, if I have the opportunity to act in a movie, like like Vikings or something like that. Yeah, I was going to say, What would be a role you'd want to? Yeah, biking or something from... Something like that.

Like a Viking? Yeah. What's your training like today? What was your training session? I train in the morning. I just light work because, you know, I done the hard work. I used light work, paths and everything, and remember everything we're going to do in the fight.

just like that relationship and you guys kind of falling out just in like business and stuff like switching over to the new promotion yeah i'm glad to go away from him yeah he's fucking crazy see yeah one of art we're really good friends with dana white yeah and he he doesn't like oscar delahua too i said i think nobody nobody i think nobody why do you think nobody nobody who knows close i think because he's a vacuum right he's he's he i don't know what he's He's fucking crazy. He's hypocrite. Hypocrat.

That's the worst. He's fucking, he's no, he don't have nothing, no loyal. What do you mean by that, though? He's, he's. I don't want someone not be loyal to you, like. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. Yeah. But, uh, you know.

That's my favorite clip of Dana White when they ask about. That's why he, right now he's, every, everything he's in problems. He don't have any fighters left. Ryan Garcia because he signed with him. But now, Ryan Garcia, I think he's in a problem with him. But that's why nobody wants to be with him because he's no lawyer. How does that work?

Like don't you sign a deal and then it's- Right now he's talking chat about me, but if I went with him in his promoter, oh, Canelo is the best and this and both, we wanna do this and he's the best, but I'm not with him anymore and he's always the opposite isn't it like important too because just like both being Mexican fighters like you have that initial bond right hmm like you're both Mexican fighters right and same with like Ryan Garcia so you guys have

that bond were you surprised that like things didn't go well no I don't know but I I I tell Ryan Garcia before he signed hey just be careful and you need to see first what do you want for you for your career because this and and at the end of the day he signed with him and and look what happened so how does that work like in the business of boxing like are you signing like a per fight deal like is that how it works when you sign with the promotion it depends the fighter right so obviously the bigger you get the more leverage you have but yeah it depends the fighter like right now I can do whatever I want right but when you don't sell anything you need to sign with a promoter and you want to get this

and this and this and you have guarantees yeah so and that's fine because work for for for you but uh ryan like fighting like me or ryan garcia can do too but he don't visualize that in that moment he can do like um i sell tickets I sell paper views, a big draw, so I can do whatever I want at the end of the day. What do you think of Garcia after his, like, lost to tank? Do you still think he has that potential to be one of the best in the sport? Yeah, he has potential. He has a lot of skills.

He has a lot of potential to be one of the biggest star in boxing. Do you think it's like a mental thing when you have all that pressure and you go in there and you get, like, some would say he got, like, embarrassed kind of? It's hard. It's obviously, it's hard. I mean that was a big fight for him to take too yeah yeah he could have they could have both dodged that do you think that it was too early to take that fire

do you think it was smart what I what I think he need to do is take that loss and learn from that loss he need to fight soon to to give in the eyes or the people who saw him fighting with tank right because no matter what he's a big star he's a big attraction for young people yeah for sure so I think he

he need to he need to to fight soon yeah do you think social media plays a role because he's such a big big young star on social media too like yeah i bet it's tough for him to block out the noise he need to focus on boxing yeah that must be because the other thing come along being famous and win a lot of money come along if you focus on one thing and you you accomplish what you want the money and the farm and everything come come together you can't think about peacocks right now you got to focus on boxing and the peacocks comes he probably doesn't i don't think i don't think many people do he's a he's a good dude though i really yeah no he's dope uh what would be your dream for some who who who would be if you had to play golf with three people tiger woods tiger goods

john ram and rory and rory that seems possible yeah i feel like they're They'd probably be down to do that. Yeah, of course. Maybe Tiger, no. But Ram and Torrey. Yeah. I like John Rom, too. Yeah.

Do you watch any UFC or MMA? No. Not at all. You're not into it one bad. I just watch when Brandon Moreno or Mexican fighter is there. I watch it. But I don't even watch boxing. I don't like watch boxing.

Do you like watch TV or Netflix or anything like that? Golf. every weekend my wife my wife is mad the rider cups coming up right yeah there's nothing better watching golf and relaxing is a pretty good combo netflix obviously yeah tv shows no tv shows documentaries yeah i like i like it do you think you'll have like another like mayweather super fight before the end of your career um like someone you know i think it's gonna be hard compared it with the fight with meware yeah but like is there any other like just how people are doing those crossover fights like not against jake paul but like is there like a i don't know

an mma style or that like just one of those super fights yeah could be you think there's anyone in the mma world that you'd ever box or like has called you out camaro osman called me out one time oh right and conno magriere is say the other day he say he can box i can box week i can box week Canelo? Yeah, you can. He can. Do those type of super fights excite you, though? Because me as like an MMA fan, like those like excite me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like it's just like, I don't know what it is. It's different. It's different. Yeah. It's good to do something different. Usman, I love Usman, but I don't think that would be. No, no.

No. Nobody is. It's just different. If I go to the octagon, it's the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. Right. How do you think McGregor did it?

against Floyd. Do you see that fight? Yeah, I see the fight. I think Floyd play a little bit. Did he? He need to make show for the people, right? That's the... Yeah.

I think that was that the most pay-per-view guys? Yeah. Four million something, right? Yeah. You don't seem like, you don't do much, like, do you talk shit at all? You're so calm and nice. No. I take show... I talk shit when

when they come in a bad mood. so I respond that yeah and I'm a good talk chat but no I don't like I always like to respect the the fighter and the the the fighter because you know I just focus on the fight and bring my best because you can talk chat and say a lot of things but I know that you go in the fight and you don't do nothing is the same it depends what mood they bring yeah has any of your sorry has any of your previous fights like has i ever gotten personal with you are you yeah yeah it's like a couple trio yeah what does it have to do to get to that point where it's not just business they fuck with my mother or something like that yeah so

if they talk about i just love that i just love that fucking and then you get pissed off in there yeah is that a good thing or bad thing when you let your anger no it's a good good thing i think I fight better when I'm mad. When you're pissed off? Yeah. Fuck. So when can we come to the crib? When can we come to the house?

Yeah. When can we come to the house? You? Yeah. The school or no? Yeah? Why not? Yeah, we can do that.

What do you do when you're not training? Do you like party ever? Do you drink at all or no? I used to. Used to? You're completely sober now? I used to. But I just play golf.

enjoy my family and travels and that's it nice was it hard for you but when you became like flooding Floyd at 23 like were there a lot of distractions or was yeah yeah what was that initial rise to like stardom like yeah I think things happen for a reason right imagine if I fucking beat Flemingway and I aged 23 yeah you would have yeah maybe I don't and were you single at that time too were you married at that time yet or no no Okay, you would have been crazy. Yeah, and I don't know how it's going to be my life after that, right?

You probably would have been doing what Oscar Deloia does. No, that's his, his personality. You guys would have been best friends, probably. Could be. No, I think things happen for a reason. That's true. That's a good way to look at it. That's what I looked in that way.

I say, you know, maybe not my time. When did you like, yeah, when was that? When did you really notice, like, you were really starting to get, like, famous? I don't know. I don't remember, like, one day to the other, I say, oh, my God. Like, right now, I are rival here in MGM and I see all the people scream my name and everything. It's still always weird, right? Yeah.

It's weird, but I'm glad that. I try to be Saul, no Canelo, to be me. So always with my family, with my friends. I enjoy everything, obviously, because I work hard to be here. But I always try to be me. In Mexico, when you were just starting in your career, was there, like, like, underground boxing events or anything like, when you're first starting out that you started boxing before you, like,

started taking it before you, like, started taking it before? Underground? Yeah, just, or, like, how you see it, like, at bars or anything like that? No. No, no. What you see in the movies? I know, bro. Have you seen Nach Libre?

Yeah, I fucking. Have you seen Ocho Libre? Yeah. He played huancho. Yeah? I fucking, I fucking hate the movies. I mean, I hate the movies because they just put the bad things of Mexico and try to put things dozen and six.

What do you think is the biggest, like, misconception or, like, false thing that they show? The houses, the worst houses in Mexico and the little towns. and i don't i don't like that kind of mexico is beautiful yeah it is mexico's beautiful it's like it's like here in usa if you go into the little towns or or places it's horrible too one of the places right it's the same we have there's poor and rich areas in every country yeah that's why i learned from traveling too yeah i think you're right they only highlight the they try and highlight the bad parts yeah it does that's what i hate that's what i hate yeah what it is what it is what what's what do you like about america i i think you guys have

everything correct and there you follow the the rules and that's that's good for for to know the culture and everything you know because you respect the law the the the rules and and that's that's good and you you have a i know a lot of good people for America and and where I live I live so relaxed and I have very good life there and I know very good people from here and I think the whole country have good things. Would you ever want like your your son like would you want them to be a boxer? I don't I don't really want him to be a boxer but it's not my choice. why wouldn't you want him to because boxing is hard it's not to be a champion to be a great boxer

is it's fucking hard so much dedication it's fucking hard so much dedication you need to have everything dedication discipline uh your mind talent obviously and i don't want it but uh at the end of the day it's not my not what i want what he wants are they ever in the gym like messing around with you and stuff yeah he wants to be a boxer okay he wants to be a boxer he say when when I'm gonna fight in Vegas how old is he yeah he's five okay how's his hands he's good they're good he's good he's good I think you got to let him do it though if he wants to support that would you rather have him be a boxer or pro golfer pro golfer oh that's what's harder though being pro golfer would be a dream bro both yeah but what do you think what do you think would be

harder. I think both, but at boxing, you can risk your life. Come on. Yeah. Boxing, you risk your life. Golf's so chill. You can't risk injury at all. I think golf, I think golf could be mentally fucked.

Mentally. Because, like, to be at the top level, it's so thin and it's all mental. It's like, uh, I think, I think you need to, I think you need to be good, 10%. Just 10%. 10% is talent? 10% talent. And 90s mental? Yeah.

That's probably actually, yeah. I'm a head kid. Golf is fucking... You ever lose your temper out there? Yeah. You throw club? A lot of times. I...

No. But yet. Do you ever like... Do you ever like... Golf bag? Yeah, so many times. Fucking golf is hard. Where's the best places to play in Mexico?
