Starting point is 00:00:00 We want out! We want out! We want out! We want out! All right, we got Tank Davis. Tank Davis in the building. Yeah. We're at the... This is Mayweather's gym. So this is where you train at? Mayweather slash my gym. By the way, where's the... I'm not trying to be like whatever, but where's the... Is there air conditioning in this place? Does he turn the fucking air conditioning on?
Starting point is 00:00:22 No. I walked in here. It's literally a fucking sauna tank. Yeah. It definitely is. All his money's going to fund his strip club now and not the gym or what? Yeah, I wish I was at the strip club. You like strip clubs? No. No, I can't.
Starting point is 00:00:34 I can't do them. It's a waste of money. Strip clubs is the biggest waste of money on planet earth. Have you ever been to Mayweather Strip Club? No, I haven't. I don't go to, I did it once, and I spent way too much money, and I kicked my, nothing happened at the end of the night, and I just realized I spent all this money and threw money in the air, and I'm like, where the fuck did the money go? It went on the ground, and these girls just picked it up. And I was like, it's gone now.
Starting point is 00:00:53 So, strip clubs really are my thing. It definitely, it definitely be like that sometimes. Yeah. 100% No ass But anyways Good luck Coming up here
Starting point is 00:01:03 You have Isaac Cruz Yes sir Coming up You're excited I'm definitely excited This is my first time Fighting at the stable center So
Starting point is 00:01:10 On the Sunday So We gotta pull up to that We're gonna pull up to it 100% What does this fight Like kind of like Mean to you As opposed to like other fights
Starting point is 00:01:18 You say it's like tough or no Yeah It's definitely tough Well I don't know To I get in there But Just the whole thing like going on like me fighting the stable center on a Sunday I got to adapt to like who I
Starting point is 00:01:36 see in the crowd how the crowd is how to the arena just overall that's like a football player when he's about to you know go into the arena or a basketball player would you say you fight better when the crowd's against you I'm not sure I I fight better when I fight better when I I feel like my back against the wall, like, when I feel like the whole, when people, when I think, not the crowd, but when I think that people, like, leading up to the fight and I think people that's going against me, I think that's what bring the best out of me. I hear a lot of athletes saying, like, they don't even, like, pay attention to the crowd or, like, they're so dialed, but you're, like, kind of the opposite. Like, you actually, like, you, like, analyze the crowd as you're, like, walking in, and that either helps you or. To be honest, I pay attention to everything. Really?
Starting point is 00:02:26 To everything. Like, even me just on a press car, like on a call with him, I just pay, I pay attention to everything just to fill out to see how everything going to play out. I like to pay, even now, like, there's period in life with I make sure I pay attention to, you know, everything. Is he an easier opponent? You think Cruz and the guy you're supposed to fight for, Roli? I don't think he's an easy opponent because his style of fight. He's coming in. He's throwing a lot of punches.
Starting point is 00:02:52 He can hit, you know, and he come forward, you know, so. I think that he's not, he's an opponent. Our assistant, Gabe, by the way, Gabe looking to get his screen time. He's just shoving it in your face. You can tell the fuck off at any time. He just likes to be on camera. Do you train, like, specifically for an opponent?
Starting point is 00:03:12 Does that, like, fuck shit up when an opponent pulls out? To be honest, I work out to better myself. It's never to fight towards that opponent, because that opponent can change his style of fighting. But I just train to better myself. That's it. And when we go into the ring, it's just like, you got to adapt to whatever that guy bringing.
Starting point is 00:03:40 What's like the regiment, like in a camp, like schedule-wise? People have, like, different camp. Some people just go away and be... But you specifically? Me? I just First of all I get a camp house
Starting point is 00:03:59 You know Out here Like day one in the camp I start running So I run it probably like It's different times I might don't feel like running in the morning I might run at night
Starting point is 00:04:12 You know It all depends what fit too Like I run in the morning If I don't I run at night Train probably like Two or three
Starting point is 00:04:21 If I want to do something again I train at night or I run and that'll be it but when I'm in can't I really don't go outside like it's hard for me to go outside so I'll just be in a gym and home that's it like I don't go nowhere what kind of runs do you do like how long's like a run the long as I just did a run the longest run I probably ever did was like a eight mile run and that's like a daily thing eight miles no hell no what do you like what do you run like what do you run like what do you On a daily, like what's a daily run? A daily run, probably like five miles.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Five miles is a day. How did everything start for you with boxing? Like, when did it start? Like, when did you start falling in love with the game of boxing, you know, fighting, everything like that? So, first of all, I came from the group home, came from the group home. My mom, I meant my grandma fought to get me and my brother back. And we was the new kid on the block. So I was always the aggressive one.
Starting point is 00:05:28 So I always was the one that was fighting. Like, I used to fight my brother battles and things like that, you know. So just fighting a lot, fighting at school. And one time I was fighting in front of my doorstep. And my uncle came outside. And he was like, he got on me. And he took me to the boxing gym, you know. And I was getting love from the gym that I wasn't getting at home.
Starting point is 00:05:51 So, you know, any kid, I just. loved the gym just as because it had coaches it had I had older people I probably I wasn't the youngest but I was one of the youngest you know so um it wasn't just boxing it was just the love I was getting at the gym like it was like family type stuff you love the energy yeah so I kept going and then I started actually fighting because I went to the gym when I was seven you can't compete till you eight you know so once I start competing I won like 15 fights straight to our loss. So, and then I, when I was 10, I went to a national.
Starting point is 00:06:27 So at a young age, I was traveling and doing stuff like that. So I actually felt like I could make something out of boxing, you know, so that's how I just kept with boxing. So when you say the, the group home thing, so how did that all take place? Because I read something that it was, you were five years old when, was it you were? I don't really know what was my age. but I was young. I was real young and my mom and dad was on drugs and my mom left me and my brother in the house.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And I guess somebody called the police on her and the people came and got me and my brother. So we was, it's three of us. One of my brothers was already in a group home. And me and my other brother, they came and grabbed us so we was all separated. Me and my other brother was together, but the other one was just, like, to this day, I don't know, like, way yet. Like, I don't talk to them and stuff like that, but.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Did you, do you have any communication with your parents at all? Yeah, I love my mother. No matter what happened. I love my mother. Nice. And do you use any of the stuff as, use this stuff kind of as motivation when you get in the ring? Yeah, I was always the type of fighter, I'm a type of person that I always used something to my advantage. It's never, like, not people use that, like, I ain't had my mother or father.
Starting point is 00:07:50 So I ain't gonna be shit. Sometimes I had that mindset, like, damn, like, why my father didn't do such a, like, be that for me, so I don't have to do this. But then again, I'd be thinking, like, I'm happy, you know, because if he didn't do that, I wouldn't be here where I'm at today. Because you find that a lot of things are important for a lot of people in life is having, you know, a solid mentor, you know? And so it's important to have somebody that you can lean on that can pick you up during times or inspire you in certain ways. So, I mean, who were some guys, whether be early in your career, middle of your career, or late in your career, who were some of your mentors? The one mentor I had, the one mentor that I had was Calvin. He probably here.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Where's Calvin at? Calvin was my coach, so he was really the person that I had, like, damn, like, that I looked at like a dad, like a superhero type stuff. When did you guys meet? When I was seven. Matter of fact, we didn't even, I started with Calvin's son. Calvin's son started me off in the gym Calvin's son did He got killed
Starting point is 00:08:52 I started off with him Because we had another fighter That was good in the gym That Calvin was paying attention to So he wasn't really worrying about me I was young I couldn't even compete So Calvin's son used to come home and tell Calvin
Starting point is 00:09:09 I got this boxer so on so on And Calvin wasn't hint that he was so focused on his fighter So his fighter wound up going to prison for like a robbery itself for five years. So now he started looking at me, you know. So that's when, you know, me and Calvin locked in because we was on the same mission. Like my mission was, you know, to be the best amateur out there. And his mission was to be the best coach, you know, so. And he's still with you all this time.
Starting point is 00:09:41 That's pretty dope. Actually, all the guys that started with us. They all did. Like, everybody that was older than me that started with me, they all got killed in the gym. Like, it was probably, like, six or seven, seven of them. Like, everybody that I actually started with did. Really?
Starting point is 00:10:01 Yeah. All the fighters. So did you grow up, like, in the hood? Yeah. I mean, Baltimore, that's, like, a, that's pretty tough, right? Yeah. What was it like, what was it like there? I mean, regular, like, hood stuff.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Just fighting and get older, you start other activities and, you know, but. And your way of it's kind of staying out of the, that life was the gym in boxing. Yeah, boxing definitely really saved my life because I had an anger problem. And any little thing that ticked me off, even now. Great, great. Definitely boxing, you know. Watch yourself, Bob, man. I'm like, I'm like, this one guy can't fuck with on our podcast show, it's you.
Starting point is 00:10:42 So, you know what I mean? Especially sitting so close here. Yeah, but Boston definitely saved my life. Yeah, for sure. How did you and Floyd connect when did you first meet Floyd? So me and Floyd connected once I had my old manager. I don't want to say his name because, but I had an old manager. He brought me to Floyd.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I was young, though. I probably was about like 18, 17, 18. and so he brought me to him we chopped it up but it was at a club so Floyd wasn't really I don't think Floyd was really paying attention so Adrian Brono
Starting point is 00:11:26 he was fighting in Vegas and Adrian was fighting here and he brought me in like one of his fighters and then he was like and Floyd had a guy so me and the guy sparred
Starting point is 00:11:42 and Floyd like like the spawn so he was like he he had his assistant call like they was hit me like everywhere my phone no I don't think they had my number they emailed me or something and they was writing under my pictures and they was like Floyd trying to get in contact with you and I didn't even see it somebody in my comments like kept like and the person like don't you see this like they're trying to get up with you type stuff so I wind up you know coming back out of Vegas and I was out of Vegas probably for like a whole whole I want to say six months to a year straight with Floyd like I signed to him before I even signed to him he was like doing a lot for me
Starting point is 00:12:24 I don't a lot without even paperwork so I stuck with him you know and he got me my first world title at 21 I think 22 oh wow so I was at a young age I was only would probably like a year and he got me my world title Has he gifted you any of this jewelry that you're wearing right now? No, but he gifted me a lot of jewelry, not this, but... What is some of the stuff? Like, how did he give you his first piece?
Starting point is 00:12:49 He gave me... He gave me a Rolex. I think I wrote a plane... I didn't even know what Rolex was. He bought me a damn Cuban. That probably was like a hundred grand. Right. He bought me a lot.
Starting point is 00:13:05 He bought me a car. He got me in the house. He did a lot. He did a lot. a lot before I even was signed to him. Because I see a lot going on here, so that... You're trying to start rocking ice, Bob? No, I would never. I can't pull it. I can't see rocking
Starting point is 00:13:17 those earrings. No, no, I can't pull that off. I can't pull it off like he can. But I'm blinded by all this shit going on over here, that's all I'm saying. What is that? What kind of watches that? This is Richard Millie. Richard Millie, okay. And the earrings, those things, what do those things go for, hypothetically? If I wanted to go to the store and buy that right now, how much would that be? These, like, three sets are earrings, so they are at different prices.
Starting point is 00:13:38 all right they're like 10,000 50,000 they are over probably 200 you ever think you would get to this point where you could
Starting point is 00:13:46 have all this going on I always knew I was going to be big but never so quick I didn't know my whole goal was to be good at boxing like
Starting point is 00:14:00 wherever be a world champion like I remember me going to like an amateur fight like an amateur tournament they had boxing glove there and they they showed me the boxer glove I look at
Starting point is 00:14:12 the boxing glove like hell no I'm never turning pro like I'm gonna fight amateur but really you thought that yeah I was because the glove was so small I'm like hell I'm never getting hit with like somebody wearing this like they can't hit me with this but I'm here what's like your overall goal
Starting point is 00:14:30 like what's your goal as like in this sport like what do you want to achieve I just want to I want to be, like, it's not even just being just a champion no more. It just, I want to be a star, where it's though, my star power lead to something else. Like, it's just not boxing. You know what I mean? I just don't want to be a boxer.
Starting point is 00:14:54 You know, I want to be more than a boxer. I want to be, like, a star, like, not just a boxer star, just lead to something else. I don't want my journey to stop at a boxer. That's not my journey. You know, I want to branch off and do other stuff, be an owner of mad other things, probably a movie star, anything, just... Why, you do a little acting?
Starting point is 00:15:22 I mean, no, but I can get into it. I studied Shakespeare for a little bit. I could see you doing Shakespeare. You ever look at Shakespeare? Shakespeare? Yeah, theater, you know? No, I don't know nothing about that. Sorry, never mind, sorry.
Starting point is 00:15:34 I was big into theater for a little bit. in acting so if you need anybody coach you on the acting let me know oh yeah i got your back on that yeah so tank how would you fight floyd in his prime like if you were to fight floyd like don't fight him if you guys were both in the yeah don't fight him i mean floyd was good he was he was he was he was top tier i mean me i feel as though i could compete with any top top fighter i'm not saying me going at floyd but i'm saying like i feel though my skills i feel like my skills and not to take nothing from floyd but i feel like my top my skills can compete with anybody that ever laced up a boxing glove you're crazy to watch bro like yeah you hit like a
Starting point is 00:16:23 fucking yeah like it's fucking yeah like yeah so you think you're a fan of uh garcia ryan at all How is that even like a thing though to me like I don't think that would even be like fair? No I think that he's he's you know how he got fat he's a he's a he's a he's a Instagram box yeah he's a good looking guy like I wouldn't want to leave my girl around in shit but like I don't know about when it comes to boxing like wouldn't be fun he's a really good look guy I wouldn't want to leave no he would it's not fair I'd probably be a little worried to be honest but with it was Ryan when it comes to boxing. Ryan looks like a Greek goddess. Tank would fucking toss him down. Oh, he does. He's a good-looking dude.
Starting point is 00:17:07 You're right. I would be afraid to leave my girl around him. And he is dope to watch and, like, the Instagram videos and shit, too. Like, he has fast hands and shit. He's obviously a good boxer, but... What about when it comes to, like, this level? It wouldn't even be fair?
Starting point is 00:17:20 He can't compete with me. People in the gym will tell you, like, I've already... I've really got top skills. Like, top guy, like... top five type stuff is Garcia in your sorry is Garcia in your way class or anything like yeah you guys are the same white class we're supposed to for it why didn't it happen he poured out why did he pull out mental health okay that's what he said I know a little bit about I feel like he's probably just not ready they probably just think he's not ready that's what I
Starting point is 00:17:53 would say yeah I mean mental health is he is he on your hit list of fighting know because that would be a big fight right yeah it'd be a big fight but it's like you never know with him it's always something going on like not to talk but want to keep going on and on but just it's always something going on with him so you never know how about uh how about jake what do you think of jake clown yeah he's a clown who you got in the tyson fury uh uh uh jake paul fight or do you care Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy Or Tommy Fear, Tyson would be the same result.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Tyson, I think, because he's, can Tommy Fury even fight, though? Like, really? I don't know. He looks fucking huge, by the way. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:44 But I know that Jake can't fight. Can't fight. He can't fight, so. Would you look at it as a joke if someone, if your team was like, yo, we want you to fight Jake Paul? Would you be like,
Starting point is 00:18:55 yeah, I laugh at him? Like, you want me to fight him? You think it'll ever come to the point where you're going to mix into, I mean, you're obviously doing the real ship, but whatever mixed into the point
Starting point is 00:19:05 where the money's big enough for you to take... I feel, as though, in my career, I can't do that right now. Why I say that? Because I ain't put in enough work. Like, I ain't... I'm not a Floyd Mayweiler. I ain't no Manny Packia or no Canelo.
Starting point is 00:19:18 You know what I mean? I still got Ashley to work to put in. That's like... That's like me in that eighth grade trying to, like, do something like... Out of this world to somebody that's already did that. school work and shit like that so
Starting point is 00:19:33 I think that I actually still gotta have my foot on the gas far as boxing like I gotta completely completely take over and prove that take this yeah like if I do that right now they're gonna just they're gonna look at me as a joke just as well they look at
Starting point is 00:19:49 Jake Paul you're on too good of a streak to just yeah I can sidetrack off that you seem like like you know you're kind of like a quiet reserved dude yeah I mean all this shit that leads up to the fight like sitting here for an hour I just saw you on a fucking press conference for 30 minutes. I saw you doing an interview over there.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Do you hate this? Do you just want to get in the ring and fight, or do you actually enjoy the prep and all this media and stuff that comes with it? No, I enjoy everything. I enjoy it. Sometimes I get, you know, I get like a little tiring, but for the most part, I feel as though I ask for all this. You know how you pray for someone to actually come?
Starting point is 00:20:26 You'd be like, damn. Like, this shit actually works. You feel me? So I think that, you know, sometimes I get tiring, but it's all for the better, the better myself. You know, I feel as though this is what I need to do to be a star, to be, you know, bigger than the next boxer. You know, so I always tick it in, even if I don't feel like doing it, I try to get it done. I guess that's like any job too, right? Like, blessed to be in the position.
Starting point is 00:20:55 No, but a job is like a job that can be. People don't like jobs. They do it because they... They have to. Money or they had to, you feel me? Me, I do it because, you know, I love it. Or I ask for it. And then if it get tiring after a while,
Starting point is 00:21:15 sometimes it'll be like, fuck it. But... You just got to push just like anything else. Yeah, for sure. So are you a heavy favorite against Cruz? I don't even know. I don't pay attention to that because I don't never want to think about, like,
Starting point is 00:21:28 or they think I'm a... So if I feel like I'm a happy favorite, I feel as though like I take somebody likely so I don't even pay attention to that. I don't even like bet
Starting point is 00:21:41 I need to start betting on like games and stuff like football games and shit. I would expect you to have some of the partnership with some sports book or something by now, right? Yeah, I don't got none of that.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Can't athletes? I don't think athletes can do that. Gaichi? Gaichi does for you. Gachie always promoting it. athlete and pumping all these tattoos do they all just connect to one
Starting point is 00:22:05 you're all tatted up all over the place here yeah it's crazy sick so many tattoos you got Starface on there by the way but listen I see a lot of boxes getting that leg tattered yeah because let's just say I started all this shit yeah but what is you got Pacino on there right yeah that's Al Pacino I love him like I can watch Scarface like
Starting point is 00:22:24 all the time I just like him because he he was a person that he lived in his truth. He didn't, he didn't, I just think that he overdid it when he was doing, like, he started doing drugs, heavy on drugs. As an actor or a character? As an actor. No, not as a character.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I like Scarface. That's why I was, that's what I was. Do you, how do you unwind? With all this shit going on, you got all these cameras, everything, blah, blah, how do you unwind? You watch, are you in any Netflix shows? I'm into power. I'm late, but I'm into power right now.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Power is my. What is power? I'm sorry, I don't know. I'm just asking him. Can you explain to him? It's basically a dude that, I forgot, I mean, I haven't watched it in a while. I was on like, I was watching a couple episodes and stuff. It's really interesting, but it's basically a dude that owns a bunch of, like, clubs, right?
Starting point is 00:23:20 Yeah. And he's like into the whole, like, it's just a lot. It's a lot, honestly. You got to watch it. Yeah, he has a family deal with him. Yeah, it's everything. Family man. Yeah, his kid don't listen to him.
Starting point is 00:23:28 him. Yeah, his kids. Bob's just religious Squid Games, eh? I mean, I started Squid Games. I watched three episodes. I think people that watch Squid Games just, they got to be like lunatics.
Starting point is 00:23:38 I just don't get it. Yeah, I don't understand it either. I can't get into it. People that watch Swede Games just, they got to be crazy, like a little off. Come on it, have you seen it yet? Have you started to watch? Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Well, when did you give up on it? I couldn't get through the first 15 minutes. People started getting lit up. You couldn't keep watching? I watched the part when they got, like, When they had to play Greenlight, Real Light or something like that, I watched that. I was like, nah, I can't watch this. It was too graphic?
Starting point is 00:24:05 No, it's just crazy. Like, I think people that watch that got to be sick in the head. Jesus Christ, all right, I'll stop watching. For God's sake here. Oh, my God. So, Mike, we just had Mike Tyson on the show. You have a relationship with Mike? Because people, don't they compare a lot of your style?
Starting point is 00:24:19 Do you have a relationship with you never met someone? No. You never met him? Not really, but I mean, what, so you guys just talked online? Yeah, we talked on, uh, We talked on FaceTime. We talked on live. That's about it.
Starting point is 00:24:33 But I see, we don't really have a relationship. I mean, he just liked me as a fighter as I like him as a fighter. You know, I think that top fighters, they respect each other. You know what I mean? Like, people that's, I mean, I feel like all the legends respect me. Talking about in the sport, in the sport of boxing. I think they gave me my props. Who was the coolest guy ever reached out to you?
Starting point is 00:24:57 You're like, damn. The coolest guy that reached out to me, probably Drake. You boys with Drake? Yeah. Odell. A lot of athletes reach out. Are you boys with Little Baby?
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yeah. That's my boy. Yeah. Yeah, Lil Baby. He's going crazy right now. Who? Little Baby. Yeah, that's my boy.
Starting point is 00:25:24 I thought you meant Dubbaby. The Baby's got some shit. Do you see his Instagram live today? Oh, that's two to different. From babies, yeah. Yeah, that was too big. The baby went off today on something. He went, something with, he got in a fight.
Starting point is 00:25:34 You see that? He got in a fight, like live on Instagram live. He went live today. And with his girl got in this. It's hard to believe that's real. He was live on Instagram. I know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Fucking, it looks kind of fake. No, he's really what it. I could tell. You can't tell. What do you mean by that, Salaam? You can't really, if you go off of, like, what you see on the internet, you all have a different, like, people will say I'm a monster on the internet. But when you actually meet me, it's like, you see a different person.
Starting point is 00:26:02 That's why I don't know if it's 100% real. I mean, he went on live and told his baby mama that she was just a side chick. And it's like right when a single drops too, but I don't know. Yeah, it's actually, it's going. Yeah, you never know what the end in that, bro. Because he could be promoting something, she could be promoting something and just, I don't know. That's why I just don't mind my business. because you never know
Starting point is 00:26:28 like y'all can come on and say y'all don't like each other and they can be a whole thing for the internet and I be like I side with you and say fuck him and be like that whole time y'all's cool and y'all just now it's just I made a beef with you out of nothing so it's best for people to mind that business so you try and stay
Starting point is 00:26:47 off the internet you pay attention to anything no I'm on the internet but I just know how to mind my business because I be having my own stuff going on so I can't you know i can't comment on somebody else stuff you know a lot of people we're not nobody not perfect but people play to be perfect on the internet everybody had that own problem so do people to people fuck with you at all like in the dms yeah did you get mad
Starting point is 00:27:13 i'm um i used to like right back but now there's literally no point of doing that right there's no point i can i do that too i don't you do it all the time i know i do i got to stop trust me i got to I mean, when I first start coming out, I'd start writing back, like, going crazy at people, but then I'm like, I can't write everybody back. So now they, people are into trolling now. Yeah. Yeah, so if you, like, if you, like, keep up with them and troll with them and shit like that, it's like they feed off that, so you got to, you got to block it out.
Starting point is 00:27:52 You can't win if you respond at all your fault. Jake Paul, he's, he's not. to keep bringing him up, but he liked the troll. So if you keep going at him, like, he'll troll you. And people get, like, enjoyment out of it. So you just got to chill. Now they're talking about Logan fighting Tyson. Tyson Fur?
Starting point is 00:28:11 No, Mike. Oh, my God. Like, they're talking about that. Yeah, but actually, too, though. Is Mike a little older now? You think he would still, I don't know. Would he still beat him? I mean, didn't that come up on our podcast first or no?
Starting point is 00:28:22 I could tell you hate this whole entire fucking... No, I don't hate it. I don't hate it. Really? Do you watch these things? Like, do you buy the pay-per-view when he, when Logan fights or Jake fights or any these guys? No, not when they fight.
Starting point is 00:28:34 I bought it when Floyd for it. No, I actually didn't buy it. We went to, like, a crab spot. But I definitely watched it, though. Do you ever think these things are, like, fixed? Like, the fights that Jake and, like, Logan did? No, hell no. I don't think it's fixed because the only reason why I say is not fixed because you,
Starting point is 00:28:55 actually got to do what you say you're going to do like i don't think that they just be like yo go knock them out and shit like that like people put that money into like just as well like that's like they can say that this shit fixed that man it's it's a cruise guy like it's not fixed he's actually trying to win do you think like what they're doing now is good for boxing in your in your opinion good for the sport or it's not good for the sport i don't think so you don't think so no in what way Because it's, let's just say like, like me, right? I've been training since I was seven. Like, I've been training for, since, 20 years.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Yeah. And then you got somebody that never done it before and put on a boxer glove and can make up $1 million. Like, that's crazy. You think it brings more, like, eyeballs and gets people more excited about boxing overall, though? No. No?
Starting point is 00:29:54 Because they're only going to pay attention to who they want to pay attention to. They don't care about it. They don't even know the other fighters. They just know this one guy that they're paying attention to. Once they stop watching him, they're going about that day. That's like me right now. I'm a singer and I like a fighter like you. And then you come in that box.
Starting point is 00:30:17 I don't care about who you fighting. I like you as a person. You know what I mean? After that, I'm going about my day. Was there rumor you were going to fight McGregor? Or did somebody ask you once about McGregor? Somebody probably asked me about McGregor, I say I'll fight him. When I after Floyd?
Starting point is 00:30:35 I thought I read something online that you did something about McGregor. Didn't you say you'd beat McGregor in a box to match? Come on, bro. I'm a boxer. He'd lay McGregor out. Yeah, come on. I think. McGregor's on some shit right now, too.
Starting point is 00:30:50 He's out for how long? Didn't McGregor just get hurt, right? in the last UFC event? That guy's got us out a record for a Guinness Book of, like, assault charges soon. He just punched a DJ and shit. Oh, yeah,
Starting point is 00:31:00 he threw some shit in the guy in the- Yeah, I think so. Would you ever tap into the M-MA, like, fighting M-M-A fighters? Or would you just strictly boxing for you? I mean, if they pay me, like, I know they probably won't pay me, like, a boxer match,
Starting point is 00:31:17 but if they pay me enough, like, that I'm comfortable with it, I'll fight a M-M-A fighter. You'd go into the Octagon. Yeah. Because no one's done that yet. You do that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Really. But who's going to... Actually, people have done it, but not recently. Like, you can't kick me in the face. Like, can you kick him in the face? Yeah, yeah, you can do that. You got everything. Knees, elbows.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Yeah, you got to be careful before you give that answer here. Take downs. No, I still do it. Because you got to think about it. I slip punches. So if somebody can kick me from all the way down here, I deserve to get kicked. You just have to choose someone that's maybe like not a big wrestler or some. shit no somebody just yeah i gotta fight somebody like in my weight class
Starting point is 00:31:58 because i don't think nobody like get me like somebody in my weight getting me down like pinning me like i don't i don't see that because we you i'm from the hood like we use a like that's what we do like what's the difference in gloves though sorry go ahead first thing we do is like if we can't if first thing we do we're going to swing and then from the swing we picking you up and slamming like that's just said if i'm fighting right now on the street i'm not going to just straight box you i'm gonna swing and then i'm gonna pick you up you're going up in the air do you do you guys like usually just hash it out like back then like when you were in baltimore like you just fight hash it out that's it like i used to be like
Starting point is 00:32:40 we used to have like a gang like how we is in the ring we used to have like a gang of people that used to fight oh you guys just all brawl each other we was crazy bro i don't even want to see what we used to do on like yeah You ever heard of point them out, knock him out? I think I've heard of that. Definitely. No, I haven't. Yeah, we should do, like.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Don't elaborate, I would pull it up, pick up is, or whatever? Just pull it out. Just Google that. Point them out, knock him out? Yeah. Just listen to it. Point them out, knock them out. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:12 So someone points, and then you have to knock the guy up. Oh, man, that's what it sounds like. Yeah, it doesn't seem too complicated. It seems like it just is what it is. So have you ever gotten beaten the street fight? I got jumped I got jumped by my homeboys so we went to go fight
Starting point is 00:33:30 and my uncle used to work at a building like a building that we was like near what we was fighting at so he called me so I go I go and see what he wanted I'm like man we're up here
Starting point is 00:33:45 like doing whatever we're doing then I ran back so they thought I ran on them like fighting-wise so they jumped me So, boom So when they jumped me I'm like, all right The next day in school
Starting point is 00:33:58 It was school And I get up in the morning I get all my stuff I tell my uncle like I'm going in here And if I see any one of them They're going to be calling you about like 12, 12, 30
Starting point is 00:34:12 So I see one of them I take out my book bag He was like, you shouldn't know And I just stole them I just hit him in his mouth And we got into it soon you know, they caught him my uncle, going crazy,
Starting point is 00:34:26 talking about, this one I used to fight in school like, I used to fight in school like every day, bro. So there's a lot of detentions or suspensions in school? Yeah, I used to fight in school, like. And then you get, you get sent to the principal's office? Yeah, or expelled.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Or expelled. You've been expelled? Yeah. I'm sorry, we all have our, listen, I mean, I were expelled, but I used to try to make people laugh a lot so I used to always do things that got me suspended in trouble. Never used to fight people. I couldn't do that. Back to the MMA thing. We're good friends with Dana, Dana White.
Starting point is 00:35:00 We were having dinner with him last night. I don't know if you've seen those, you know the kids that, you've seen the kid that looks like a baby that's like Khabib's friends? So he was telling us that they're actually in negotiation to put, you've seen the two kids fighting though. Cole, you should pull it up if you can. Hasbullah. They're going to fight each other?
Starting point is 00:35:18 Dana told me he's actually like trying to make it happen. And it would be over there? In the octagon. They're older though, right? They're 19. They're 19 years old. Yeah, yeah, isn't that funny? So they're not like little people, but they're just like, I'm not sure what the
Starting point is 00:35:30 diseases, but they're just like, they look like babies. But, and they actually don't like each other. They don't like each other. Wow. I don't know. They just don't fuck with each other. Like they fought, they were pushing each other at the, you should find the video, cool.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yeah, there's a video of them like on YouTube probably pushing each other. Yeah, I thought they were like three or four years old. I did not know they were. Yeah, though they were five, six years. So they understand what they, like, they understand what they're doing. I guess. You know Khabib, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:57 So the one kid's from the same small Russian town, Dagestan. So I guess he became friends with Khabi and now, I don't know who this other, the other little guy is. But he's a little fireball too and they're just fucking full of energy and they just want to go out of it. Angelo, I like him. This is my guy right there. He's fucking funny. What he's saying, though? He's awesome.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Oh my god These are two people don't like each other. I don't know. I think I just love fighting. Oh, he with the shit. Oh, shit. That happened in Abu Dhabi, right? I would buy that.
Starting point is 00:36:51 fight all day. Yeah, I would watch that. I would watch that all day. That would be interesting to see. I just thought since Dana was against the whole, like, obviously, you know, Jake Paul stuff that he wouldn't want to do this type of thing. But last night he was, like, dead serious about it. What if they get hurt, though?
Starting point is 00:37:05 That's what I asked them, but he said, obviously, they have to look into it with the doctors and stuff like that and see if it's. I don't know if there be, is there a lot of knockout power in those punches? I think the guy with the blues, I think, I think the guy you liked would get fucked up. The other guy looked like he had some, he had like a good stance and shit. It's funny how they're in a suit and they, like, like. Can you imagine? Beetlejuice.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I like Beetlejuice, too. Yeah. Why? Was he trying to fight? Nah. He'd be always in my DM talking about you trying to fight. So back to your shit in December. So who's walking you out?
Starting point is 00:37:36 I don't know. Who do you think should walk you up? You should get baby. I mean, yo, Moneybag did that thing. When Moneybag walked out... Little baby would be hard. A little baby will be hard. Drake?
Starting point is 00:37:45 You're laughing at. What? No, little baby would be hard. Travis Scott? I'll walk in. If you want me to walk you out, I will. I don't think it'll probably. probably be that good, but...
Starting point is 00:37:52 Would you let us walk you out? Yeah, y'all can walk me out. They're like, who the fuck are these three? No, but it got to be with someone. Like, I can't just have... Yo, baby, you can't have us. We don't have no firepower to walk you out? The hood's not going to go crazy if fucking Bob Menry walks out.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Tank, you know? No. Baltimore's going to be sitting down. No, I'm saying. Y'all can walk me up, but it got to be like also an artist. Baby, baby. Three of us, little baby, Drake. We'll just be in the background casually.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Yeah. y'all could like but you gotta do something crazy it can't be like no we're not just gonna walk you up what little baby song you bumping if little baby were to walk you out you like a girls want girls guy or more of like a we paid yeah we can't listen to i mean i can't listen to girls want girls walking out it got to be like something like i always want to i don't want to get my strategy away because people
Starting point is 00:38:47 people pick up on it's a strategy to the walkout yeah It's a strategy that everything I feel like forget that by a little baby Would Go Hard I like that song What's that? Forget that Forget that you know what I'm something I think you should drove people off you like the Jurassic Park theme or something
Starting point is 00:39:02 Like It can be No It can be like that Harry Potter It got to be something that like Can you That would be the Harry Potter song Would be hard
Starting point is 00:39:12 I'll dress up as Harry Potter And you can dress up as fucking Dumbledore We'll come out and walk you out No it can't be that But uh what is that bad that would be funny bro do you follow the uh no sex rule during the uh fighting
Starting point is 00:39:26 i mean by the way i wonder that too yeah because didn't we talk on before who else who do we talk about before there's no sex during the fight stuff we just spoke to somebody Jake said that now and what he said he said you can't fuck around he's not about boxers shut up okay okay you're right I'll listen to you
Starting point is 00:39:45 so you don't follow that You can't listen to somebody that just started fighting He don't even know Is this your biggest bag yet you're getting in this fight? Is this your biggest bag? As you stare at the earrings? No, I know. They're growing bigger by the fucking minute.
Starting point is 00:40:02 I don't know. Yeah, I actually really wonder that So you don't. You don't follow it. Follow the no sexual, yeah. People is different. Like, you got to do what fit you. So for you,
Starting point is 00:40:17 I mean, does it fit you? I mean... Why you switched to the sex, actually? I wonder. No, I really wonder. Does it calm me down in the ring, or I don't know? No, but if you not have sex, right, and you're training, like, say that I train, like, for, like, four or five weeks and don't do nothing. You'd be so tensed up that, like...
Starting point is 00:40:44 I get, like, four. 48 hours before to like get like pissed off or some shit but why five weeks like that doesn't like you got to you have to you got to you got to stay dialed too right because if you don't then you're probably going to want to go out and like dude i'm handing me to release some stress sometimes yeah it's a balance i don't think just like just stop like completely but back in the day fighter used to do that though i just think they wasn't getting the way's what do you do like Probably not What do you do like after a fight?
Starting point is 00:41:18 Like what's the lifestyle like after like a W? He's going to hang with Hasbullah in Dubai. Like how long do you just like not like train for? Yeah, I won't go to Dubai, bro. Dubai's fuck. Well, we actually were in Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi's for 12 minutes. I want to go to Perth too.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Let's keep making that joke. Sorry, go ahead. I want to go to Perch too. You win this fight. What's the immediate after part? Yeah, like what's after like a W? Like when do you, how long do you take off? Prior to the club
Starting point is 00:41:44 I think I think everybody go to Like they want to celebrate Even if it's not the club It's something You're not going to Davidin Busters after a fight right It's something You don't have to drink or nothing
Starting point is 00:41:57 Just enjoy yourself That's like you're winning a big championship Like That's only if you win If you don't win Just sit your ass in the house Are you enjoying yourself with women as well like after a fight or are you just there to just have a good time on your own
Starting point is 00:42:15 the fuck I wonder no I wonder I may probably be women there definitely gonna be women I don't want to party with a bunch of Full set and podcast hosts yeah he's not partying with fucking me and you after the fight you know no y'all can come but it's definitely gonna be do you have to pay that bill after after you go out are you the guy that has to pay that bill or is it
Starting point is 00:42:38 I'm not paying nothing No? Who covers it then? Somebody else. Somebody. It ain't going to be me. I probably don't pay the bill for like that next.
Starting point is 00:42:52 The club probably does it, right? The club's like come hang out. We want you to fucking come here. We'll stock you up, do whatever the fuck you. No, but if you go over, like say if they pay, like they tell you like they got a set, like they're paying you like $20,000 to come to the club. Then they give you an extra like $3,000 that you can
Starting point is 00:43:09 spending the club like far as getting bottles and things like that but I don't drink so I get the bottles and just pass them out you don't drink at all no I used to drink but I don't drink when did you stop right before my last fight because drinking like drinking it made me something I'm not you know some days it might make me like loud and crazy and some days it may make me angry no I just don't want to be like somebody that I can't control myself so I just just stop and then it made me blow up it'll make me like gain a lot of weight you know so and I'm a person that always want to be on point like when I'm outside so I can't drink and do all that if I do drink it's wine little wine night yeah you're right or water bottles of wine
Starting point is 00:43:56 at the club I think it's my age I'm 27 now so nice getting a little yeah red wine slaps actually the drinking was like messing up the next day as well yeah like it was just too much yeah That shit, like I get up with a headache It's like a day's wasted, right? Yeah, I feel you. The hang-up is throw you off. Drinking really is bad, like, I ain't going to lie. Drinking is really like, if you drink, that's drink.
Starting point is 00:44:22 And then the whole, not to bring up the internet with the football player, but he was drunk. Oh, yeah, shit. His life went by-bye. Yeah. Well, the drinking and driving shit, that's fucking crazy. Yeah. You were never a big weed guy.
Starting point is 00:44:36 You said you only smoke once? Yeah, I smoked when I was 10. 10 years old? Yeah, smoking with my brother over there. Did you get, like, paranoid? No, yeah, I freaked out. I've had the same. Do you see the football player blame, like, the fire department or some shit?
Starting point is 00:44:52 Or the defense guy that was his, like, defense? Was that the fire department didn't show up fast enough? Yeah, that's a terrible situation would happen. That was awful. How she couldn't get out, though? I mean, their car, I think, I mean, I don't know. Didn't she, like, walk out alive? Car was pretty obviously told us.
Starting point is 00:45:05 He hit her at, like, 125 miles per hour. He was going 156 And I think hit her That's what I said Probably drink Well he was drunk right Yeah Drinking and driving
Starting point is 00:45:15 That's a whole other level Drinking just period That's just I mean if you know how to control yourself You had somebody that like They're with you Then okay But
Starting point is 00:45:24 Drink it just People that just don't know How to control that self Off a liquor And I'm one of them people So I'd rather cut the whole Cut it off Because I don't want to be like
Starting point is 00:45:36 messed up or make a mistake that I hurt somebody else or hurt myself so I say stop drinking a lot of stuff too is the weight and you have to make weight and all this stuff too so that probably has something to do with it too
Starting point is 00:45:50 and then it'd be like if I'm not fighting and I drink all the way till I fight again it's like I'm blowing up like 40 30 pounds now I gotta lose then it's like because you had issues in the past and make a weight
Starting point is 00:46:04 you got stripped of a title for missing weight? Yeah, and shrimp from money. What do you blame that on? Drinking. No, no, it wasn't drinking. I take that bad. It was from,
Starting point is 00:46:18 I ain't have like a chef. So I was out here eating Sonic every day. Yeah, Sonic. Sonic? And Slushies, drinking slushies. Oh, they are so good, though. I don't blame you, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Those things are so good. So no more slushies. Y'all don't like Sonic? Sonic, like, Sonic, like, two years ago. Yeah, I mean, it's trash now. I mean, not, sorry. It looks good on TV. Why can you see Sonic's trash?
Starting point is 00:46:49 That's all right. If you feel Sonic's trash, you can save them. I might want to deal with them. Yeah, but there's many of them out there. They're not going to do anything. If you feel it's trash and don't do it, you know? You ever, you ever get pep talks before, before your fight? Like, somebody just hype you up, you know?
Starting point is 00:47:04 Floyd. Floyd. Floyd? But he remind me, like, he don't hype me up, but he reminds me, like, that who I am. What was the greatest thing he's ever said that's, like, stuck with you? Like. Greatest thing Floyd said? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:24 He said a lot of things, bro. I can't really say off the top of the head, but he said a lot of great things. But he's one of your big, big mentors. He's the guy. So when you go to for, you know, he's your guy that's hyping you up before the fight. Yeah, he's not the guy that hype me up, but he's the guy that's, he's the main guy that's in my corner.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Like, you know how, like, you know, like, like your supporter type of stuff, like your friend, like, he's one of them guys that make sure, like, make sure you on your game. Like, that's the guy that, like, I'm saying, like, fight night. When I'm in the ring, I'm going into the dressing room and all that, he's the one to be like,
Starting point is 00:48:04 always in my face like he'd be this close like yeah he's that guy I appreciate him for that too I ain't just really realized that to just now that he is the main guy that be in my corner so you're a new dad yeah how is that how was that how was the old dad um I had another girl crazy you have one you have one you have one baby? No, two. Two babies. Two girls.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Two girls. Wow. Yeah. How's that change shit? I mean, buy more guns. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, I can't imagine in the future dating your daughter ever something like that.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Hypothetically, some guy having to come to the door and deal with you. Nah. Me, I just be more, I just want her to, she could talk to me, well, both of them. They could talk to me about anything. That's the only main thing. That's how I say. Don't never hide nothing from me. Like, you got always talk to me.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Because I'm not nobody to judge. I didn't did a lot of stuff. So for you to, you know, feel though that you got to hide something for me, I think that's bad. So I will always let that be known for my daughters that. Just if you, anything, because that's how Calvin was to me. No matter what it is, don't hide nothing from me. But I'm here.
Starting point is 00:49:33 that's how I think that I want my doors that don't hide nothing from you. Yeah, they're saying you've got to bounce, but so when's the fight? December 5th in Los Angeles at the Staples Center on a Sunday.
