  Speaker 1: you there is that you're you're doing business deals like
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I see the exhibition fights, but I'm like, he's just
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: doing that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: But there's something bigger going on obviously. I think it's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the deals.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And so when you're looking at what are you looking
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: for when deals come across to you, right, Because I'm
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: sure there's probably a team that says, all right, boyd
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: we have this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: What are you looking forward to?
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Say?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: All right, yes, we're going with this because I mean
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: not skytscreen, but that's that's pretty impressive.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Well, well, I don't want to be the only smart
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: person with my team, so I got to choose.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: It's chess.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: It's real life, real life chess out here in the world.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: So I want to make sure that you know, I
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: got smart individuals that that's around me. That's gonna tell
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: me don't do that's not smart. You know, I've been
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: working on buying an NBA team outright. You know, there's
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a difference between clapping up for that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: We look.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: You know me and actually one of my other other
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: business partners, Brent Johnson, he's here. So we've been working
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: on the NBA team for a while now. You know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: it's kind of it's rough Vegas. It could be the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Vegas franchise, it could be the Seattle franchise, or I
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: could be buying a franchise that's already up and running.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: So the first offer we offer them a little bit
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: over two billion for majority ownership.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: We got. Do I have it? Absolutely? I have it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: But clapping up for that, of course, I can kidding me.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: But it didn't happen. It didn't happen overnight. It didn't
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: happen overnight. It's a lot. It's a lot when you
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: have so many different businesses all around, all around the world.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Actually, it's a lot. It's not easy.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I just followed out really quick because I wonder when
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you walk into a business deal, right, are they respecting
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you as Foyd made, whether the businessman, or are they
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: looking at you as Foyd made? Whether the Hall of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Fame boxer at the greatest all the time.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Exactly right? TD? What is that like for you? Well?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I had to be I had to be somewhat intelligent
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and smart to be able to make one hundred million
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and three hundred million. And actually, at my age now,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I'm still going out there picking up twenty and thirty
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: million for fifteen minutes in twenty minutes, I'm a.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Greater's true, So clop it up. So it's obvious.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: It's obvious that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I'm the smart one if I'm able to make the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: people pay and I'm beating YouTubers.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Good point.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: So let me let me ask you this. This is
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: one thing that I always admired about you. I don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: think you got enough credit for it because you had.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: We always see Lebron always getting credit for working with
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: his team all black young men. But when I look
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: at you and you see Al Hayman and Leonard llerv
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: and your circle is all black as far as on
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: that business side, on the boxing, like the forefront people.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: So you were early on that and was that important
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: to you or you just that just kind of happened
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: that way.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Well, of course, I'm gonna always I'm gonna always love
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: my people first, always. But in business, you know, I
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: gotta think about my family first. I got to think
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: about my grandson, my daughter, my two daughters, my two sons.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I gotta think about them first.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: So when it comes to business, it's not no, it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: not no certain color. I work with everybody. It's just
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: like that, But far as my team, it just ended up.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You know my team, I.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Have a real diverse team.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: You know, we got people from all walks of life
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that's on my team that I that I'm with every
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: day and I love my team. But when it comes
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to business, I do business with everyone, honestly speaking.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Quick go ahead, A quick question for you. Talked about
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: using the hatest fuel and it's something that I struggle with,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: but I also use it as fuel. At what point
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: does using negative energy become detrimental to your life or
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: do you think it's because we grow with childhood traumas
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: that makes us activate a higher gear when we hear
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: something negative towards us.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Well, they say, if you want to.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Going back and forth, and I really want to apologize
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: because a lot of the time I go back, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: you know, I never I was always on the internet.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I was always the reaction. I wasn't the action because
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I never, like I said before, I love my people first.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I'm never gonna you know, but sometimes you can shoot
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: at me. You can shoot at me and I really
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: won't say nothing. But you know, I got to shoot back.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: You know, I got to teach my children and my
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: family how to defend themselves, you know, not just in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the ring. So a lot of times when people are
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: people don't really like when you are.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: When you continue to be successful. You know, it's even
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: like a woman.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: A woman can be in your life and she's no
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: longer in your life, and she can think that, you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the grass is green. On the other side, she thinks
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that you're not going to continue to be successful.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Shout out to my answers.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: You could have been here with me and Floyd's Truyn
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: shot but shot ob.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Why and it's and it's nothing. Networks both ways. So
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be in this room. I don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: want to be biased. It works both ways. You know
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of times a man like me, I've never
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: been with a woman. And when we went our separate ways,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I don't want to see her
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: be successful. More power to you. That's not gonna that's
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: not going to change everything that I got. That's not
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: going to change my drive and my desire, uh to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: be great at whatever I'm you know, to be great
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: at whatever investments I'm trying to do, or whatever I'm
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: trying to go for in life.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: How do you deal with you know, managing people because
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: you obviously, you know, have many weather promotions, and you know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: you set the precedent for boxes, you know, becoming their
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: own boss. And you have one of the greatest young
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: talents on your stable, Javontae Davis. But I've seen recent
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: I've seen recently that he's actually looking to leave. So
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: how does that relationship work? How like? How does that work?
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: As far as you know, grooming somebody, getting him to
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: a point and then having some differences.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I've always been a gentleman. I've always been respectful, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: there's nothing like taking a kid that come from the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: same background as you and helping them and put them
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: in a position to become a multi man.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: There. You know, you meet a kid, he just he
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: come up to you for autograph, You sign an autograph
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Then I tell him, in a few years when you
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: get older, I'm gonna work with you and I'm gonna
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: make your world champion.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Someday.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Years later, I started working with him, helped him, pushed
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: them to be great. And if he feels like you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: his wings, he's grew wings where he can fly become
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: his own boss.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: More power to him from your standpoint, because that's not
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: going to I didn't get into the sport of boxing,
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: you know, you know after I retired to not want
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: to see fighters grown.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I wonder if I can, if he feels like he
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: can surpass Floyd Maywether or beat the next Floyd Mayweather.
