Remember, nightcap doesn't happen without you, so please subscribe or you're going to make Ocho crap. Well, how about this here? Floyd Mayweather Jr. said he's unretiring and resumed his undefeated career after his planned exhibition against Mike Tyson. Floyd, from my upcoming Mike Tyson event to my next professional fight afterwards, no one will generate a bigger gate, have a larger global broadcast audience,

and generate more money with each event than my events. And I plan to keep doing it with my global media partner, CSI Sports slash fight sports. Ocho. Hey, I'm glad we own this one. I'm glad we on this one. Go ahead. Take it away. Floyd, a chat, stay with me real quick.

know how much I love boxing. I'm a boxing enthusiast. I'm one that's been in the ring as well. I've trained with all the best fighters in the world. But in order for Florida to come back, right, to be able to command the kind of money he wants. Obviously, I'm not sure if he's in financial problems or not. But why would you, why would you at this age come out of retirement after not fighting since what, 2017, if I'm not mistaken? Something like that. Yeah, about eight years. Yeah, eight years. Outside of exhibitions, obviously is to do what he's always said is have a bank robbery. with no mask on. So if that's what you're going to do,

there are only three fights. Chat, listen to me. There are only three fights that Floyd can have that can command and get the kind of money he's looking to recoup for money that may have been lost or money that may have been stolen or money he may have spent, you know, to date. For one, a rematch with Canelo.

That's one fight. Camelo too big. Listen to me, Unc. We talk about making that money. He ain't going to have no choice. Number two, fighting Paciow again. right that's it and the only other fight

that can get him the kind of money and the kind of pay that he might need if you're coming out of retirement and putting your record in jeopardy and that's bud man lord listen to what I'm saying

whether you want to see it or not the only three fights they're going to get him the kind of money he's coming out of retirement to get that the world wants to see Canelo, Paciow or Bud. There is no one else for him to fight

that people are going to pay money to see. Think about it. For one, in order for him to come out of retirement, you have to put yourself in harm's way. You have to take a chance. You can't just be fighting anybody. They're not going to pay to see you just fight anybody. It has to be a draw.

Canelo, you got to take a chance. You don't have a choice. He has to take a chance. He does really, Ocho, his claim to fame. Yes. And everything that he's ever done was for what? That O. Yeah.

If the O is gone, you look at him differently. Yeah. He's not the same, Ocho. Yeah. He's not. His claim to fame is that I can say something. All the fighters that you say are great. Right.

None of them can say that above me. You talk about sugar rate. You talk about herds. You talk about Hagler. You talk about Roy Jones. You talk about who ever, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Sugar Ray Robinson. You talk about, uh, uh, Lewis and Ali, whoever. He always goes back to the O.

If the O is gone, where does he put his hat now? I, I, I have no idea. I have no idea. I mean, um, damn, that's, I, I don't know. I don't know. I'm talking about paydays. I'm talking about paydays. I'm talking about paydays, you know.

You're 50 and old. Joe, his reflexes aren't the same, Ocho. I know that, huh? I mean, obviously, once you get older, all the father time catches up with you at some point, but he still, he's still one of the best ever. Yeah. He's still one of the best ever.

When he was fighting, not at 50, not in his 40s. Yes, in his 20s and 30s. Yes, yes, yes. I give you a prime example. When Floyd fought Connor McGregor, a prime Floyd gets Connor out inside of two rounds. He didn't want to. It's all about carrying him.

He carried him through the fight just to give the people what they wanted. But go ahead. But if you look at him, Ocho, he's not going to be able to see those punches with them young kids throwing now. That's why he got... That's why he...

Huh? I just gave you the three fights. that makes that make Ohcho, he'll go and he'll go right back in retirement. I don't think Bud to take the fight. Bud don't want to hurt him.

He got too much respect for him. Bud to hurt him, Ocho. Bud is still at the top of the but is the pound for pound best fighting in the world. And you're talking about after eight year layoff

he can come and fight him? Do you understand why he's coming out of retirement? Are we missing the point here? We understand. Come on, man. No, no, Ocho, I hope that's not true.

I hope he, Oh, Joe, I hope he has an it. Ocho, I can hope. I hope he has an itch to scratch. And he needs to scratch that itch. I'm hoping that's the case, Ocho. I'm hoping. I can hope.

Let me hope, Ocho. I don't want to be cynical. I don't want to be skeptical. I want to believe that the man has an itch that he wants to scratch and it only can be scratched getting back into the ring. I don't want to think that financially his situation is unstable. I don't. I don't want to see.

Orjo, why are you looking at me like that, man? No, I'm just listening. I hear you. I'm listening. No, but I'm saying why you looking at me like that. Oh, no, no. No, I'm not. No, I'm just listening.

I'm just, I hope. I mean, we can't hope, Ocho, can we? Oh, Lord. This bad, God. Lord, Jesus. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I just know he's coming out and maybe, maybe I'll be, look, I chat, this is not no breaking news.

Y'all have heard all the reports and people who said Florida is broke and the dance and I don't know. I don't know Floyd like that. I don't. I don't know the man finances and I'm not going to get up and say pretend like I do. I just hope. I can hope. Yeah. That that's not the case. Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm, I mean, listen, I'm excited. I'm excited. As a Flan of Ford, as a fan of boxing, I look forward to him not fighting the exhibition, but having the fight and actually trained

the way he's always trained that has him 50 and O. That has me excited. Is he going to look like the FOIA we used to seeing when he fought earlier in his career? When he's in his 20s, when he's in the 30s, probably not. No, he reflects of the floor. Yeah, even even if it's reflexes are a little slower,

it gives me a certain excitement giving me a certain excitement that no fluid is coming back to that ring going back into the ring and he's going to take a fight very seriously he's going to train very seriously it just makes me excited and i just threw out the three names to me despite the side despite whoever's in their prime despite whoever is younger to me it it it it's to come back at this point you know at 48 or 47 whatever it is and you're 50 you know the biggest fights that can generate these things that can generate these things the most money for someone whose nickname Money Made, whether three names, whether people say, oh, that's dumb, you're not making no sense. It makes the most sense from a financial standpoint and drawing in that kind of revenue. And that was Connello, whether he's big or not,

that was Bud, whether he's the best in the world right now or not, and that was Mani Pachial. That's all I'm saying, whether you think it's dumb or not. I'm thinking from this aspect. Okay, let me ask you a question. First of all, Canello can get, Kenello ain't going under 168. Bud ain't going under 160.

So what, so Floyd, you're going to have Floyd come up to 160? No, I'm, I'm, I'm not, he's only fought one time at 154. He fought day La Jolla here 54. I'm not talking about weight classes. I said what makes the most sense. Now, what they decide to do is on them.

I'm talking about from a financial standpoint. If you're having to come back at this point of your career, after eight year layoff, we talk about, okay, I need a big payday. That's all I'm talking. about that's it. Well, fight Shakur.

Shakur right at 47, fight Kishon Davis. No, come on, uncle, man, you can't fight the young bulls. You want to fight, you want him to fight Bud? He's going to come out better against him than Bud. At least you're like, well damn, he got a hillbilly heartbeat chance. He's not, he's not effing with Bud. Just a few weeks ago, Floyd filed a lawsuit against Showtime Networks and the former president of Showtime courts, accusing the company of helping facilitate a fraud scheme that deprived him abruptly $340 million in earnings.

Yeah, damn. 340? That's what the lawsuit said. I don't know, Ocho. Hold on, hold on. Time out. Time out, time out, time out. Let me give me a paper towel because just $3, $340 million.

Hold on, hold on, because now you got me sweat. Let me, let me, now you see what, you know what? I'm kidding. Ocho, I just say I don't know. know why this man coming back. I'm not fed to profess that I know, but I've heard what the chat is heard and see all the reports,

where people say that he's in a financial bind. I don't know that to be true. He has reports that. He has sold some properties. I think he had a property in L.A. He had a property in Miami. He has a big residency out here in Vegas. He has the private.

private playing. So I don't know, I don't know, Ocho, I don't know. I don't know normally people that are well off don't go back into a sport as by Berwick, as boxing at 48 X, Y, and Z. That's not normal, but everything doesn't have to make sense to me. It just has to make sense to him.

And obviously it makes sense. Hey, I know a lot of people, they probably gonna laugh, they can't talk about weight, you know, oh, they can't fight these individuals because how good they are right now. And Floyd, even though he's a little, he might be a little slower.

His timing may not be the same as it once was. But I'm hypothetically speaking, if he's coming back in need of huge, huge payouts for fights, I just threw out the three names that would make the most sense that would generate the most money to maximize his time,

coming out of retirement at 48 and in putting a chance and in losing you know that zero and that 50 no record i mean it it he'd make it'd be massive it'd be massive and i know turkey ali if he gets involved in that it is it can be ugh it can get it can get ugly ugly in a good way it can get ugly in a good way from a financial standpoint uh mayweather says that he suffered enormous financial harm and is missing at least $340 million from a reported $1.2 billion that he actually earned in his professional fight career. Oh my goodness. 340? Swing on. I mean, oh, that's an addition. So he's report he's reporting that they they boosted. Why would they did it, 340, but he earned 1.2. So that's 1.5.

Damn. Florida's lived in Vegas. So those career earnings, I mean, Uncle Sam only taking 37% because he ain't playing no state taxes. Oh, man. I just. Hey, I like it. I like it. I listen, I don't, I don't, I don't care what the reason is. Why you're coming back, I'm glad you're coming back, because I get to watch your fight. Listen, I get to watch you fight again. I get to watch the greatest box of all time fight again,

even at 48 years old. And he had to take it serious because his record is that stake. So I know, I know one thing. One thing we know about Floyd, one thing we know about him, hardest worker in the sport. And he ain't taking no shortcuts, and he ain't cut no corners.

So you know what you're going to get once he's stepping that ring. He lose. You still got to. as the greatest fighter? Come again, I ain't here. If he loses when he comes back or do you still have him as the greatest fighter? Can I tell you something?

Yes. If he comes back, he's not going to lose. Well, he's going to have to fight. You said he can't fight anybody outside of the people that you dismayed. Now, the people I name, I said being able to maximize your purse outside those names that I did name,

maximizing your purse would be taking those fights. Regardless of weight and all that stuff, I'm not sure how I'm just I'm just I'm speaking from financial standpoint. That's all. That's all. You think you think right now give him six months a year he can beat Bud Crawford in a 12 round fight. Who you at you ask? How are you asking me?

They didn't fight yet. Do you believe you would have to pick a side? Just like in the Super Bowl, you're like, okay, I'm taking Seattle. Oh, yeah, Seahawks. Yeah, you took Seattle even though they hadn't played. So I'm asking you, Floyd and Bud fight. You take it Floyd or you take it bud. Yeah.

Ooh, that's, that's ugly, um, that's ugly right there. What you mean? It's ugly. I'm just saying just the question, the question at hand because you, you, you, oh, that's a good one too, um. Who you got? Huh? Who you got? Hey, chat, who y'all got?

Hyperthaglia. The chat, everybody got Bud. You got, you got Bud? Yeah. Floyd reflex is, oh, the man about to be 50. 50. Damn. How old is Floyd?

48. We're just saying, I mean, he's 48. I'm 10 years older, so yeah, he, yeah, I was born in 68, Floyd, Floyd were born in, yeah. Hey, hey, uh, what? What? What? Hey.

Ooh, I'm excited, boy. Unk, I'm ready to get back in that thing, uncle. Hey, who you want me fight, aunt? I don't, I don't, I don't want to, I, I hate it. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what? I hate the Florida having to come back. No, I don't, I don't, I don't hate it. I want to see him go. I want to see him go. I want to see him go. Hey, I want to see him go. I want to see him go. I want to see him. That would be that would be the equivalent. That would be the equivalent that 10 years after 10 years after Michael Jordan retired, he came back and tried to play basketball again at 50.

Hey, I like that too. I like that too. I like that too. I like that. No, you make all you make all that money, man. You make all that money. You're supposed to. to be able to set generations like at least at least at least at bare minimum four to five generations up and yeah whoa whoa whoa yeah you're setting yourself up a generation of wealth when you live a minimalistic lifestyle now when you look oh come on that we don't have to get into it we know ploy was a little extravagant a little a little he was a little he was a little extravagant come Oh man. Hey, hello. Yeah. Hey. You know what? The thing. But the thing is is that what you have to realize. Yeah. Is that when you're making 200 million, it ain't nothing to spend 15, 20 million.

Shouldn't me? But when you, but, oh, Joe, when you retire, right, you still live that. Oh, Joe, I can go get me a car every other year. I can go get me a Ferrari or I can get a Lambo when I'm making 20, 30 million and the money coming in. Okay, the money stops. Yeah. And I still try to have that same lifestyle. See, that's the problem that you run into. Yeah, is that you try to keep the same lifestyle that you have in retirement

that you have when you're at maximum earning potential. It's impossible. And I understood that while I was playing. We know it's impossible. I know, but sometimes people don't understand. Actually, when, if you can, if you can train yourself, if you can discipline yourself and find a structured format to be able to live a minimalistic lifestyle while you're still earning, you know, at your highest potential.

Yes. It makes a transition once you retire that much easy. Yeah. Why you think I've been to, I mean, I hate using me as an example, but I'm the only person I can use as an example because I'm living proof of doing it. And not only did I do it, I talk it, I preach it. And people still make fun to the day and still don't get it. Why I'm still well off.

It's the same thing. Because I was the cheap son of the bitch when I was playing. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. My bad. Mm-hmm. Because I was the cheap son of a you know what while I was playing. Yes, that jury wasn't real.

No them watches weren't real. For what? It didn't make any sense. My name was bigger than anything I could purchase at the time I was playing football. I haven't played football in 15, what, 12? I don't know how long it's been. And I'm still good. nobody gets the formula nobody gets what i was doing there was the method to my madness so i wouldn't

be a statistic that's all i didn't want to be a statistic i don't have any problem enjoying because a part of it is like you work so hard and not to really enjoy to buy yourself a car or to buy yourself a watch you buy yourself a nice home or do some occasionally some stuff for your family but at what point in time i like cars i don't like 50 cars i like 50 cars i like Like homes, I don't need 10 homes. I don't. I will have a, you know, maybe I would fly private once or twice a year.

Damn. But to have a private jet. Right. And to have that staff because even when they're not flying, they're still getting paid. It's just like a yacht. It's just like a yacht, Ocho. That takes a staff, it takes a crew.

So even when that yacht's not underwater, they're still getting paid. Hey, hey, hey, hey, that, like, owning a jet and owning a yacht, that's for, correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't that for CEOs? Yeah. A lot of CEOs because the company pays. Owners.

Yeah. If, yeah, if, yeah, if, if you weren't 15, 20 billion, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. See, it makes sense for them to have it. But for us regular folk, I'd never understood, you know, sometimes. My time shares in it. Yeah, that's, you know what I'm going to say. spend a million dollars. A million dollars probably get, it probably get me, you know,

it'll get me 50 hours. But also, I'm not flying overseas on no private jet. Cause how far are you going? If it takes you 18 hours to get there and 18 hours to get back and you bought 50 hours, that's 36 hours there. Hey, can I can ask your question? I'm yes. Curious. Why does why do people love on Instagrams? Why do they love showing them themselves going and getting on private jets and everybody getting on the jet setting what I I don't understand what was what was what was look and I and I get why people fly private because of the convenience of it the jet leaves when you want to leave you're not on the schedule of Delta American and a lot of times what you know what I'm just talking about how value people

I'm not that's what I'm talking about oh Joe so you look at and so that's that's the convenience you ain't got to worry about no airport, you pull up to the hangar, you get your car, you get on and you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you hot right on, you got the staff, you, whatever the case may be, whatever you want, they'll have it there, you get there, boom, drop you off, you get in the car, you go wherever you go. So I, I get it, I get it. Uh, as someone that is flown, uh, uh, private, I get why the convenience of it, but to, but to own one to actually say, okay, that's mine.

And you're talking about, you know, I mean, probably you can get a cheap one for a probably around probably five million and they go up to a half a billion. Get a cheap what? A jet. Can I ask you? Yeah. Who making, who's making that kind of money, right? But they can stand and say, you know what, he'll go five million for a jet.

Outside of, outside of owners, owners that own NFL teams, you know, MLB teams. Well, I guarantee you, I guarantee you Tom Brady ain't been on a commercial flight in 20 years. I guarantee you, Peyton Manning ain't been on a commercial flight in 20 years. They don't, they don't own one. There's a difference. That's what I'm saying. You lease it or they buy timeshares in it. Cool, no problem.

Hey, I got a question. Yes. Now, when you say timeshare, now this is all new to me and I'm glad I could be on here for this segment where I can learn something. You buy hours. You buy 50. You buy 100 hours. Oh, oh, wow. get it for a year for that's that's that's too high you're going too high now one it it all depends on how much you're going to use it oh cho i just want one flight one flight me and the kids to the Bahamas two hour trip how much is that it's going to take you

it all depends on how big a plane you get all right it's going to be somewhere between it can be anywhere between 25 and 5 all the way up to 20,000 an hour no you said 25 like 2500 hundred dollars it all depends on the size of the plane okay you want something that's safe you don't want want no crop dusting with you and all your kids on it. So you're going to want something safe. You're probably not going to be able to get it for less than probably say five to seven thousand, $7,700 an hour. That's one way or two way. That's one way. So I'll be going to get back. Well, you said you just wanted for an hour. How long it's going to take you from Miami to the

Bahamas? About 40 minute flight. Okay. So it could probably cost you probably cost you somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000. Oh, who. Oh, Lord. No, so. And now think about taking a private jet overseas. Take it to Dubai. Take it into Africa.

Take it to Europe. Oh, no. You're talking about 10 hours. And you're talking about 10 hours of the jet that's costing you $50,000 an hour. Or excuse me, 25. Look at what a G6 costs, a Gulf Stream 6. Hold on.

Or airbus. Yes. Look up with the price of a G650. I think they got a G650, maybe even a G7 right now. Let me Google. See what that is for a G. G. G. What does it cost an hour just to rent in an hour?

Private jet. 10 to 20,000 per hour. Oh, man. Shoot, well, hey. So you're going overseas. Can you go overseas? I mean, I'm trying to figure out where can you fly? for less than 100,000.

Even if you go from New York to London, that's what, eight hours? Uh-huh. And that's, what, 20,000 an hour? Yes. That's almost, oh no, but y'all can have that way. Listen, I appreciate American. I appreciate Delta.

I appreciate spirit, you know, but I can't see myself doing it unless, unless God bless me in some. Yeah, that's why I would never own one, Joe. Huh? I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would rent it, but here's the thing.

Ain't nobody, none of my family is in the same. So I would have to have a jet, fly to go pick up my sister, fly to go pick up my mom, fly to go. It'll come out better. Just fly everybody, just where are you from? Right. Just me. It's just easy to do it that way.

And if I'm going overseas, I can fly Emirates. I can fly Qatar Air. Yeah, bingo. I can fly one of those, Ocho, and pay $20,000. It got a shower. I got a big old bed. I got a couch. You got a big screen TV.

They bring your caviar, champagne, cramp, even like they eat any of that. Right. What I'm saying. So I can fly on Emirates or Qatar Air or some of those big, you know. Yeah. And get the same luxury. Yeah.

Nah, man. All that's crazy. That's crazy. You know, all them people on Instagrams be stunned. They be, you know, on the private, you know, and stuff. I had to reassess myself with you. I was like, damn. What type of life they live in?

Hey, something ain't right. I'm talking about everybody flying private. Everybody? I don't know what they're doing, but, you know, it's cool. I mean, listen, you get where you got to get to. I'm going to get where I got to get to. I'm going to get from point A to point B on spirit. I'm good.

You saw, you see I went to Ralea, right? You saw what I was on, right? I was on spirit. I went 20 minute flight, comfortable. They gave me some peanuts. I had my little coke with no ice. I ain't got, man got nobody impressed, man. Man, child, please.

20 and 30 grand just to fly by myself because I won't convince, man, please. I like to talk to people. I like to talk. Whoever sitting next to me, we're going to talk. Yeah, but I hate it. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm excited about Floyd coming back because I'm not.

And I wish I, and hopefully if they shorted him his money, he gets his money back. but I hate that at 40 years old, you haven't had to do anything, I mean, just imagine, Ocho, if you had to try to go back and play football right now. Me? Yeah.

Ooh, I get a boy that work, what? Hey, everybody does all. Hey, up, hey, call it, up, call it. No, no. Time out, time out. Time out. Come on, son. Come on.

Come here. Come on. And you're taking me out the game? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're taking you out the game. Hey, I'm telling you, boy. Hey, at 48 right now, shoot, if Floyd come out of retirement, I'm coming out of retirement too. Hey, Mike Brown, Katie, Troy Blackburn, howl that your boy, Duke Tobin, Zach Taylor.

Just picture this on me, T. Higgins, Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow, Chase. Chase Brown. Huh? I can't wait to hear him call my name coming out of the tunnel. Starting at wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Chad Johnson. Then I come out, Unk, and the smoke be going and the fan be chatting my name. Oh, Cho, oh, Cho, oh, Cho. And they, oh, but don't let me score in 2026, um.

Don't let me score. no touchdown in 2026, boy. Oh my God, but they're going to suspend me for the week. I hope Floyd makes enough money against this Tyson thing that he won't have to do it. Well, how about, hey, what you think about me and Floyd fighting? Like a little exhibition? Like to give him a little tune up before he fight for real. Yeah.

What do you think about that? I'm all for it. And I can with my nightcap gear and all that, my nightcap trunks, you know? I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies.

They must have heard us. After 11 years, Netflix will present Floyd Mayweather versus Maddie Pachial. Part two in Vegas, September 19, 26. The first flight between the duo in 2015 generated a record-breaking 4.6 million U.S. pay-per-bue buys and a live gate money with ticket sales was a staggering $72 million. Floyd has been retired for nine years while Mani just fought several months ago

against Mario Barrios. I told you. He won the fight. I told you. I told you. My only thing is, Ocho, Floyd has been able to hang his hat on that zero. If the zero is gone,

and a lot of people, because here's the thing, You can only fool the people for so long. Yeah. He loses. Well, we already saw him have lost. Because I think a lot of people, yeah, he was a phenomenal fighter. I didn't tune in to watch him lose. I tuned in to watch him beat somebody ass.

But a lot of people did tune in, Ocho, because they wanted to see I saw him lose. Absolutely. And that's the great thing. That's the great thing about Mayweather during his career is billing yourself up as the villain in being able to command such enormous paydays because the people, the majority of the people tuning in are tuning in the hope you fail. And they hope 50 times.

And all 50 times you debunked them in their hopes, in their wishes. So again, now, far removed outside of your prime, you're fighting Manny Pachial again. What is everybody going to tune in to see? Whether you 48, 58, 68, 68, Finally, is it the time when we finally get to see the pound for pound, one of the greatest of all time, do we finally get to see that asterisk where he gets the loss finally?

Everybody's going to turn in the sea. Is that the sphere? Yeah. Ooh, that's going to be, oh, that's going to be nice. Have you been to the sphere? Have you been there yet, Ojo? No, no, no, I walked on the outside, though. I walked on the outside.

That was enough for me. It's crazy, Joe. Yeah, you went to the MMA thing. Right. Yeah. I went through the UFC fight there. Hey, well, what's up, man? We're going to go to the fight?

We can make it happen. Yeah. What's up? It's in September. I'm ready. You can got to ask me twice. I get my outfit together now. Man, I like that.

I mean, I would like to put $59,000 down towards something. You don't get put it on layaway, Joe. Hey, listen. I ain't going to lie to you. I don't really know how I feel about it. Talk to me, Joe. I'm a huge fan of Floyd and Pac-I-I-A-O-I. I don't think Floyd going to get in that ring

unless he knows that he can be somewhat Uncle Ocho of what he's been. But, you know, when you ain't boxing a while, man, this ain't, you know, everything is repetition, reps. Like, it's different, man. It's different. Hey, Joe. What's up?

Hey, Joe and Unk, I think we have to realize and we have to understand. And for those in the chat that are watching, Now we know we talk about a Floyd Mayweather retired, but we have to stand this is the same Floyd Mayweather that stays active even when he's not fighting. He's always in the gym. He's still always training.

So even if Floyd Mayweather of old is still a shell of himself, even at 40 years old, a shell of himself Floyd Medweather is still better than most based on who he once was. Based on who he once was, even if he's not the Floyd Matherwinner's prime, and that's okay. even if his spidey senses aren't the same

as they used to be, he can still do one thing, he can still boxing and still fight, he can still protect himself, he still has defense. He might be a millisecond slower. But still, talk to me. A millisecond slower. Oh, yeah, it makes a difference. But also, you're fighting someone

that just his experience, that had just as much wear and tear as you do too. Yeah. I think it kind of evens out. This ain't like no exhibition. This is a real fight. Oh, no. It's a real deal, baby.

It's the real deal. Okay. Real deal. But the thing is the Ocho, okay, he fights Pachia. Yes, sir. Then who he fight well next? I mean, I mean, Floyd going to, he go away. I don't know.

I mean, I'm sure Manny can make 147. Hell, man. Yeah, of course. Walk around with it. Yeah. I wouldn't know how much. No, Floyd. Florida, Floyd walk around weight is $150.

So it ain't enough for him to drop three-five. Three pounds, yep. Mm-hmm. What do you think the paint ain't going to be? Well, you see what they play Jake Paul and Mike Tyson? They played Jake Paul in Anthony Joshua. He might clear 300. Damn.

Yeah. You might clear 300. And you know who else is a good one, too? Who is that? I don't know where he goes from after that fight. I would make one more. I just don't know what it would be. Obviously, you said you didn't like the names that I threw out there, obviously, for obvious reasons because of, you know, the weight and one being at the pinnacle and the top, you know, in his career and just defeating the Canelo.

But I'm talking about being able to grab the most and maximizing these last two shots in the ring. I'm just saying. Oh, you're talking about you on Florida fight, bud? Man. Come on. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. I know. Hey, Joe, I said it the other night and everybody laughed at me. I said three names. Now, all of a sudden, two days later, one of those names is the ones he's fighting because I'm

understanding the only way to maximize as much if you're having financial problems, you know, and being able to recoup, which you're suing for, hell, he's suing Al Heyman for 3040 and whatever company it might be. I don't know. Showtime, 300. No, time. 340. Hell, he's going to clear that. He's going to clear that 300 right now against Pacow. So if you want to go again, and be able to get another cash grab Connello rematch. I'm just saying, even if there's a weight discrepancy.

I mean, what do we do in that situation? I'm just, I'm just throwing out there. Be personally, Ocho, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think Canelo is interested in dropping the weight. Floyd can't come, man, there ain't no way of hell. Floyd ain't never weighed no 160. He only fought one fight.

He fought day Lafoyer at 154, and he was under that weight. Yeah. I, listen, I'm just, I know, I understand. I understand what you mean. I understand what you're saying, but I'm just saying, you know, based on the circumstance and situations that I'm assuming he may be in. That's all. That's all.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I hope it's not true. I got a question, too. Yeah. Hey, now, we talk about a fight in September at the Spear, right? Now, this is good. This is nice.

Now, I understand it's a professional fight. What you all think about your boy being on an undercar? Oh, Chon. A sphere is a round shape. That's what I said. The spear. No, spear is what you throw. I said the spear.

It's spelled sphere. Yeah, it's spelled S-P-H-E-R-E-R-E. Yes, that's what I said. I said spear. No, see, oh, you know, I talk country now, so it's hard if you to understand. Hey, but listen. Who are you thinking about fighting? Huh?

Who are you thinking about fighting on the undercard? I don't know. Hey, Joe, we got to be somebody with a boxing back. I'm not talking about no celebs and nothing like that. Like, I need to get in there and go. Joe, what do you think, Joe? Just depending on who you fight, no, Joe. I don't like that answer, Joe.

I need a little more confidence from you, Joe. Okay, what about, I tell you what? What about Florida Roy Jones? No. No, that's not going to generate what he's trying to do. It's not going to generate the revenue he's trying to. You got you, listen, you remember when I talked about the, when I say those three names, I said, they're going to have to be someone where he's going to have to take a chance.

You got to take a chance because you need people to be tuned in to see, all right, he had the chance he could lose. Oh, you think he ain't got no chance to lose against Roy, huh? No, I don't. You know what, they kind of been having a little back and forth, ain't they? That's what, that's why I throw it out there. Okay, yeah, I see where you're going with this. I see where you're going with this. All right.

You can box, I tell you what, Ocho. What about you box, Emmanuel Lacho? No, I said a real fighter. Hey. Hey, no, no, no, I can't. No, no. Ocho, you been training like that?

I ain't stopped yet. I ain't stopped yet, Joe. Oh, Lord, have mercy. I ain't. I mean, Unkby laughing. He'd know I train every day. I do my soccer. I do my soccer in the mornings and I do boxing in the evening.

And then when you do your Zumba? Because you're a Zumba instructor. When you do it? Yeah, that's on Wednesday and Friday, Joe. Oh, okay. Yeah, on South Beach. Anytime you die in here, Mom, you can come check my class out. Okay.

Yeah, right, I do it right on Nicky Beach. Okay. What you're brainstorming over there? What you think about? What about Florida and Ryan Garcia? Ooh. You like that with how old you? Mm-hmm.

I think he'll probably, I think Florida take that, he'll take that in the heartbeat. Man, listen. If, if you, if you, if you, it may, it make, it, make, I'm not worried about it making, I'm not worried about him making the weight. At Florida, he never had no weight problem. No, that's not the problem. That's not the problem at all. Damn. Who you, I mean, he, obviously, he can't fight, he can't fight, he can't fight, he can't fight, you know, he can't fight somebody like that.

No. I don't think he can fight, bud. I don't think he fight bud. Me neither. because bud you know i heard bud on the pod you know it's like well who you want me to fight who's out there for me to fight now i'm sure if turkeys say look here bud we're gonna put this thing together you and floyd bud like how much a hundred okay what about what about uh what about if he fall boots i'm talking about i ain't talking about floyd i'm talking about uh but yeah it ain't

on the money in that fight yeah you're not gonna take he's not gonna take the chance that's as It ain't no, it's a big enough name. See, in order, in order for you to generate a fight, you got to get casuals to watch it. The hardcore, people like, Ocho,

go watch it, Ocho, go watch two kangaroos fight because he's like fighting. So, you discount, you discount Ocho. Ocho, you know, look,

I think, I think, I think, I, I, I think, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, Floyd makes sense. I don't think there's no chance in hell that Connor could ever get back down to 150,

155. You're too big right now, huh? Yeah, God, yeah. He's huge. I mean, knowing him, I mean, with his training background and, you know, background, I'm assuming he could if the potential of Connor McGregor, Floyd, too, would have happened? He could probably get down. He just has to lose all that damn muscle.

Nah. It's hard. And, man, when you lose money, You remember what happened with Roy? Roe was never the same. When he went up to, when he went up fight Ruiz, he beat Ruiz at 193. And he had to drop all that weight. He cut all muscle.

He was never the same. He'll tell you. He was never the same after he beat Roy. He beat Ruiz. Damn. But I definitely think that's a fight we should, we should probably be in attendance for. Okay. Yeah, I went to.

Hey, we going to the fight? What? I went to the one way for Ricky Haddon, Floyd fought Ricky Haddon. Yeah. Boy, and he hit him into their turn, Bucker. That one number of the check hook, Joe. And he timed it pretty, the beautiful check hook, tied it perfectly, too.

Uh-uh, excuse me, take that with you. Walked it right into it. I've been into a few. Man, they talk about Tank and Floyd. Tank got to get some issues resolved first. I mean, Tank might be on the shelf for a minute. He got to get some issues resolved, get everything behind him, And then, you know, he can think about fighting.

Right now, he might be fighting for his freedom. Right. Right. I agree. So he need to get those issues resolved. He gets those issues resolved. He's plenty young enough because he's an exciting fighter. Yeah.

You know, he got dynamite in his hands. He can end the fight. He can turn them. He can turn them, you know, he can make you short circuit. Yeah. Quick. Cut your lights out. Quick.

Hey, but I think that makes the most sense to me, young. Floyd next two fights, do, handle, handle your minutes against Pachial and find a way to get the ball rolling McGregor 2.

How many fights? How many fights? I think he's going, what if he just want to do this? I would say, I would say do three. I do three max. I'm not talking about,

I'm not talking about, find a way to get the 53 and O. Bind away to get the 53 and O, maximize the next three years, maybe two. Yeah, maybe three, maybe two, maybe two. them three fights

I'm not who to sure the third person would be but the third person I fight would be the biggest chance I'd have to take where there's a huge chance I could lose Well if you fight Bud is going to happen If you fight Bud is going to happen Leave Bud alone Hey I'm just hey get the world

Hey get the people they want to see It'll be a big pain they want an Ocho It'd be bigger than the Packia one And it'd be bigger than the next McGregor one That third one And then, and then what you call it about me, because look, it's hard to overlap errors. But when you got a guy that's a three-division, you know, or undisputed champ in the four-bent era,

and that's what, and that's what, and that's what, that's what, that's what bud is. Yeah. Your three-division, undisputed in the four-bilt era. Listen to me, I'm telling you, Joe, based on the circumstance and the situation that we are assuming, based on reports that Floyd might be in, he can get the most, almost topping what he's already made when he was fighting in his prime

in a short amount of time. Pacquiao, Mayweather, and going a goddamn limb with Bud. I'm just saying. Well, he can only fight one time, he can only fight once this year because he's not fighting until September. Right, right.

Inside of the question, he only had one fight in 26. Right, I'm not saying to double it up back to back, but I'm just saying those three in a matter of time that you see, you know, you see suitable. I think you got to understand. Floyd don't take much punishment either.

You don't take much punishment. I think it's going to take much punishment. We don't know if he's going to take those reflexes and slow down. So it's going to be interested to see, but I'm going to be there to see it. We'll be there to see it. Right. Yeah. I'm going to be fighting.

Don't forget that, huh? Hey, Joe. It's going to be good. Man, I'm telling him. I'm representing night. cap to the fullest, boy. Hey, Joe, I don't play. I know I do a lot of talking, Joe, but you know in that ring,

boy, I'm nice, boy. I've been training the past six years now. Okay. I got you. I talk a good one, but so these hands talk one, too. I'm going to follow you lead on this one. I'm going to follow you leave. Yeah, that's all I ask for you, Joe.

That's all I ask. I got you. I'm going to back you up, bro. I wonder who's going to be on the undercar, though. I just told you, huh? I'm a call. I'm going to call Leonard. I'm going to call Eleanor.

We're going to have to hit Bronner or something. you fight Adrian Brona. Ooh, that, oh, that's a good one. Yeah. That's a good, hey. Brona, right. Now, that's an exciting. That's exciting.

Hey, Joe, you laugh. Hey, Joe, you laugh. I ain't going to lie. I would get cooked out there. Hey, it had to be a good one, though. Yeah. Oh, Joe, you get out there with Brona? Boy, you're telling you.

No, not, not, not me, man. Hell, no. What you mean? What did you say you want to fight a boxer? Nah, come on, man. Not that boxer. No. Brona too small, man.

Oh, he too small for you? Hey, Brona kill me, man, if he wanted to for real. Joe, that's a real boxer, what? I got there, what you're saying? Nah, man, Joe, don't give me nobody that experience, Joe? Hey, hey, all jokes aside, you know, a lot of people make jokes and, you know, they laugh and when boxers get knocked out and, you know, they're fighting and do you, I don't want to do people.

will understand that these dudes will hurt you if they want to, especially when you're in their environment, when you're not used to punches coming and that, that, you never see it at all. It's different. Yeah, I don't know how many people in the chat has actually been to a fight and been close enough. I mean, when the guy head snapped, when the guy head snapped, he already, hey, it's like a snake, he already had a recall. And you just not see the man's head snap back.

He didn't like the round snake. He's like, oh, he rap, man, he'll bet you. Man, they're putting the punches together so quick, you know, man. That's how you get knocked out because you don't see it. You don't. And them three minutes be long as I don't know what. Hey, long as hell. But we now know Florida has a fight on the calendar,

and it's going to be September 19th of this year. He's taking on Manning Packer y'all on Netflix. Netflix, y'all know what we do. There we go. There we go. Hey, Netflix, make sure you have your boy out now. Make sure he come holl at the king now. I'm Luke Wilson.

Listen to 40s and free agents on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh Joe, Florida Weather Jr. is now scheduled to take on Greek Kickboxer, Mike Zambetus in another exhibition in June in Athens, Greece. Zambetus is an 18-time world champion and retired with a record of 154 and 24.

He hasn't taken part in an official fight since June of 2015. Yeah, talk to me. Are you concerned that Florida is potentially risking long-term help just to make a quick payday schedule? Three fights in one year. The last time, before you go, Joe, the last time, if I'm not mistaken, that he fought three times in one year was 2005, and he was 28 years of age. I say, no, I'm not worried about it.

Joe, I understand, obviously, your spidey senses. Some things are gone. You're not the same as you was, especially back in 2005 the last time you fought, you know, three times, but obviously you have to look at his opponents that he's picking. He's picking opponents that he know he's going to be able to win. He's picking opponents that he knows he's better than, even with his lack of his lack of not being in the ring,

but someone that stays active, he just hasn't fought. And doing these exhibitions, he's going to be okay, he's going to be able to protect himself and be able to hit them at will and being able to protect himself when trying to be hit.

Obviously, I forgot the record just said, the guy. What was his name? 157. Yeah, I mean, obviously, he's probably great in his craft and what he did, but he's no, he has staying no chance

in a boxing ring with Floyd Meather, whether he's young, whether he's old, whether he's in his prime. Hell, he could probably be due with his jab hand all night long. if he wanted to. So again,

for one, I think that's a tune-up. The one, the guy, the Greek guy, that's a tune-up before he gets to Mani-Pack-Ey-L

because I think, I think that guy is going to probably, you know, try to give him a little show, give me a little challenge. But that's all that is. That's all to come down to

because he knows, once you get the Mani-Pack-Yau, all bets are off. All bets are off. I agree. That's a real live fight. Ain't no exhibition. He's not taking it easy on you.

He's going to go. So that, the Mike Tyson, listen, listen, give me something. Let me refill my pockets real quick. Boom, the tune-up fighting against the Greek guy, I don't know how to say his name the proper way, is a tune-up for Manny Pakey out.

And then come September in the sphere, we're going, we're going all out. Absolutely. Trying to keep fine-tuned. Find-tuned till you get the Pake-out. Get that, get that russ out of you. I just hate it. I hate it, guys.

What did you name? Yeah, because I wish Floyd didn't have to do this. he made enough money he shouldn't have to do this and I don't maybe maybe he just wants to come back maybe there's an itch that these are scratched maybe the competitive juices of Florida again but when you're talking about Ocho he's let's just say for the sake of argument

these are exhibitions Floyd hadn't fought three fights in one year since 2005 that's over two decades ago it doesn't even if it doesn't look good because sometimes the mention of like Florida is broke I don't know if Florida is broke Florida broke compared to other people it's not the same

it's different. Now, you know, you hear things that, you know, tax, he owed this person. I saw Logan Paul was talking about that he owes him and some Greek company sued, some Dubai company is suing him for $10 million. I don't know if there's any truth of that, chat. I really, really don't. I don't know Floyd's finances and I don't know anybody that knows Floyd finances. But it's just, man, I just hate this. I hate it, you know, when you heard story of Joe Lewis, how Joe Lewis had to come out had to fight much longer than he should have, Ocho.

I hate that for guys when they have to do that because they take such a beating when they're in their prime, when they're young. Boxing it, even when the hair gear and you sparred Ocho, you still get hitting upside your head. It's just like when you play football, yeah, you got a helmet on, but them damn legs still hurt.

And also, Uncle Joe, when you think about it too, you have to think about it. We have to think about, we talk about Floyd. We talk about Floyd, one that's over his career in 50 fights, hadn't taken much punishment. He hasn't getting it. I mean, obviously you do get hit, but he's minimized those hits in that wear and tear over the years

because he's so great at defense. He's so great at defense. So he's one of the few that can come out. And that's why the first thing I said, he's one of the few that can come out of retirement, even at his age, and still protect himself. It's like, hell, I ain't rode a bike in 15 years, Joe. But if I had to get back on now,

I can get on there and know what to do, especially when you talk about one of the best, if not the best of all time. Now, depending on your ass when to come to boxing, obviously, you know, you throw other names in, you know, in the pot. But I think it's going to be all right. He's going to be able to do what he needs to do in the ring. He knows how to protect himself.

He knows how to carry a fight, which I think he's going to do for the young bull out there in the Greek guy that he's going to face. He's going to carry him. When he does. Hey. My bad. No, no, you're good. You good.

You good. But why is he fighting Mike Tyson? though. Like, the last time I seen Tyson fight, he wasn't throwing no punches. Like, I don't think he's going to throw no punches, this guy, this fight either. That's what I'm saying. So, I know it was somebody, and I'm not saying, you know, obviously, I'm a Tyson fan, but, I mean, damn, Tyson's six. Well, it was Tyson. At least 60, a couple of years, he got to be at least, Tyson got to be at least two to three years older than me, and I'm about to be 58, so he's 60, 61.

Yeah, I don't want to, how about Tyson? I don't want to see the biting the gloves and all that, Ocho. Yeah, because he didn't want to hit him and mess up that money. Huh? He ain't want to hit him and mess up in money. He, uh, he's talking about he didn't want to hit Tyson. No, Jake ain't want to hit him. I mean, Tyson ain't want to hit him. He'll be 60, he'll be 60 years old, June 30. Tice will be 60 June 30. He's born in 66. I was born in 60. You look at it. You look at that Jake Paul Tyson fight like those first two rounds. And if you know Tyson, if you watch Tyson fight over the years, when he comes out, he comes out, he's, you look at. You look at, out, he straight to action.

He straight to action. That was a younger thing. I mean, even if you're not young, if that's the way you fight, that's the way you fight, you don't change the way you fight over the years. So he's a, he's a, he's a fighter, he sits in the pocket and we're going to work. So how do you think he's going to fight Floyd? Floyd ain't from to sit there and let him. That's not, that's not Floyd. That's not Floyd.

I don't, I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know, I don't know what's going to happen with that. because, I mean, we saw, we saw Mike Tyson and Roy. You know, and they also didn't want to hit each other. So I'm not sure. But Roy already says that, look, he is not going to hit it. He's not putting to hit my mama child with that left hand. That ain't happened.

That hook. That ain't happened. Nope. We're not going to hit my mama's son with that left hand. So Roy, Roy was, was, was, uh, uh, was honest about, you know, like, look, he still got power and he still has power. Oh, Joe.

We watched him, Joe, and you watched him when they were showing the lead up to the fight. Man, you see Tyson hitting that bag. Man. Man, you see how Tyson's moving. Yeah, yeah. Ain't unchanged, and that's how you know. If you see him hit the bag, you see him hit the mitts,

and all of a sudden you get in the ring and you look completely different or you're trying to figure out, why are you not, letting go. Why are you gunshot? And he was letting him go. When he was sparring, when he's hitting him, he was letting his go, Ocho. You know, I just, look, look, we got to talk about it, so we're going to have to watch

so we can, you know, provide some analysis, but it's just, I just, I just wish, I just wish at 50 years of age. I don't, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't, I mean, could you imagine if you could, if you had to. I mean, I love,

I love football. Yeah. But, no way, I was after retired at 35, I was coming back at 40. Right. No. But hey, hey, I came back at 40. Did you know what, Joe, Ocho? If people didn't want to see it, it wouldn't happen. Somebody going to watch it.

It's on Netflix. Netflix got how many countries are there in? 200 countries probably got three, 400 million subs, subscribers. Netflix ain't playing this. What? Yeah, they're going to watch. And half the people watching to see them lose. Yeah.

Yeah. I just, I don't know. He wants to do it. I don't know. I don't know if it's just these three fights and that's it, Ocho, or he's going to have more fights in 27. Hey. But it just goes to show you what the current state of boxing is,

is that people will watch this and they've got real fighters. That just goes to show you what the current state of boxing is, I mean, we got good fighters. They got, hey, their fights to be made. Like I said, hopefully Javante Davis get his situation resolved. But you got the Davis kid, Kishan Davis, and you got Shikour, and you got Ryan Garcia. You got, you got, Devin Haney.

You got guys. You got Lomo. I think Lomo retired. Yeah, Lomo retired. Yeah, Lomo retired. No more T. Fimo. Yeah. I know one of them.

But there are fights to be made. There are fights to be made. Yeah, Lomachenko retired. I mean, it's so many. I mean, just the problem is it's too much dead time, huh? It's too much day of time. So while, you know, fights haven't been resolved yet or, you know, too many layers between fighters won the fight,

I mean, so something like this, I mean, it's going to have people watching. Yeah. Yeah. People are going to tune in for sure. I guess we have to go watch a couple of rounds, Ocho. Yeah. We're going to watch come around, but, man, it's like... Hey, we're going to the fight.

We're going to the fight in Vegas in September? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. We're going to walk in there, but we're going to be clean, too, boy. And we got a good... Yeah, yeah, we're going to be clean.

Boy, I can't wait, boy. Who are you going to suit it? Oh, Joe, I'm going to be clean, Joe. I might be the cleanest one in the house, Joe. When I put... I'm going to put these pants on right here, Joe. All right, no. Yeah.

Yeah. What? Yeah, you're doing too much. Yeah. Ain't nobody going to be, ain't nobody going to be at that fight in September and he got damn leopard pants but me, boy. Yeah.

Because you probably won't be able to take them off. They're going to be so funky. Oh, no. They're going to be stuck to you. I'll take these to the cleaners every three days, no. No, you don't. Yeah, do cleaners right across the street. That's okay.

Okay, I ain't going to wear them. I'm going to wear some boots. I'm wearing. I don't know what I'm aware. Joe, what you're wearing, Joe? I'm sure. I'll piece something together. I'm probably put on one of these little fly suits

so I got over here, man. I got, yeah, I mean. A suit, a suit, a suit, suit? Yeah, I'm coming with a suit, man. I'm coming, yeah. Yeah, that's how I'm coming. Yeah. Yeah.

You ain't fighting? Huh? He's like, he's walking the intro, Joe. I'll be the old show. Hey, Joe, what's your buddy? I'm coming. I'm coming in. I ain't playing no game, man.

You're talking about, like, a suit like you were to church? Yeah, I'm coming. I'm going to be clean. clean, Ocho. No, Joe, you can you ain't going to be comfortable. It's a boxing fight. Yes, I am. Yes, I am.

Yes, I am. You'll see. You'll see. Check me out. Okay, okay. I ain't wear no suit because after we had this rematch and I put foot in him, he's going to be too sore. His ass is going to be sore, so.

I'm going to be put foot in it when we get him back on that bowling. Oh, uh, uh, uh, you got a chill. Nah, nah, no, Joe. Because you be rabbi. All you do, all you do is be talking to my other. The people, the people gave me this title. I didn't have for no title. I ain't there for nothing, Joe.

Man, man, this is what the people wanted. So I have to get a people what they, okay. Yeah, yeah. See, you want to get the people what they want all the time. I'm ready. Yeah. But it's, like I said, hopefully,

everything gets resolved. And boy, goes on the body's life. And everybody, everybody gets to live happily every after. Yeah. I mean, obviously, some things need to change. Some things need to change because you won't be able to keep coming back out, You know, to be able to do these exhibitions as you get, you know, little. Well, he better look good.

That's what I'm going to say. That boy is going to put on the show that you've got Floyd been. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, listen, Florida ain't going to look like Floyd despite, even despite his age because he's always active, Joe, you know? He's always active. So, I mean, I want to see it. I mean, I'm excited because I know what he's going to look like despite how long he's

been off, despite having the ring rush. And that's why he's doing the tune-ups before he get to pack you out. Well, I guess I mean, I don't know I guess I have to wear my Louis pants again The third time Okay, okay I like them thing I like the thing
