• 0:42
  Speaker 2: signed an eight million dollar fight contract with her former

• 0:50
  Speaker 2: told us she was out of her contract, she was
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: trying to figure things out. Well, she says that she
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: now has this eight million dollar contract, and she invited
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: a bunch of press here in New York to come
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and sit down with her have a conversation about what
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: that deal looks like and what her future in boxing
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: looks like. So I have some exclusive clips for you guys.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm taking the latest right on into the luncheon. Now,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: let's talk to Clarissa a bit about what the deal
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: structure looks like overall. But I do have to actually
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: talked about exploring a bunch of different offers.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Was MVP on the table? Did they offer you anything?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, Listen, I had talks and negotiations with MVP with Matchroom,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: who was with Eddie Hearn, MVP who was with Jake
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Paul and Nikisa Balderian. I had talked with Eddie Hearn,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: who's with Matchroom. I had talks with my promoter Salita,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: and then I had talked with Salita and Win Promotions together.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: So it was, like I said, one, nobody had a
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: terrible deal, if that makes sense. Like I think everybody
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: came witty, and MVP definitely came witty.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that they didn't. But what does
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that mean? What was the number? It wasn't eight million?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: How far was it? How far was you mean? How
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: far away from a million was that? Where we are
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we in the ballpark?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Was it over five million dollars as a minimum as.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: A minimum or as a total. You could either one
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I've mended my relationship with with MVP, so I don't
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: want to throw somebody under the bus. I feel like
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: everybody put their best foot forward, and Slita and Wynn
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: came with the.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Best offer, and of course I had to ask her.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: She's talking about four fights? Who are you going to fight?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I feel like Leaila Ali is out the window. She's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: already told me you got her last episode when she
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: talked to me at the Ebony Power one hundred and said,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: de Laila, thing isn't happening.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So girl, who are you about to fight? Let's take
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a listen.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: It's some man people that I can think of because
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I can go up and down up in the weight divisions.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Right now, I think my next fight will be up
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: at heavyweight. I think my next two will be at heavyweight,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: which is one seventy five. And like I said, I
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: would love to have a fight with Mikhaela Mayor up
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: at one sixty one fifty four.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And it's other girls to fight.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: You know, we got Franchion Crude, Shagreen, Shae knee Lee,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Danielle Perkins. Mmmm, that's Mikhayla Mary already. Yeah, like, it's
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: some good competition out there. But I've already beat whoever
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: they considered the best. But now these girls are who
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: they consider the best now, so I guess I'll have
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: to fight against them now.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: One of the things that I thought was just like,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you know, a big conversation of the luncheon, Clarissa talked
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a lot about the fact that a lot of people
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: were not trying to give her what she was worth.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: She went through a lot of deals, structures, a lot
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of conversations, and pet Pooss was right by her side.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: She says that if it were not for pet Poos
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and the introduction that he made between her Win Records
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and bringing everybody together and helping to figure out the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: structure of her business deal, she wouldn't have been looking
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: at this eight million dollar minimum that she's talking about.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to her talk about pet Poos
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and his role in all of this.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Like I said, it wouldn't even have been a conversation
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: between me and when had Pap not been there. You know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: since I've met Pap and we've been together over a
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: years now, he introduced me to Win Records, and I've
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: been to some of they sold out freaking concerts and
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: it's been like a movie. And they were able to
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: come to two of my fights, and it's been a movie.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: And I think that, you know, we've been Branson, who
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: is the head of Winning Records, Pat Poos is the
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: executive director. So he's like, you know, he's the execut
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: he's the executive whatever.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Y'all want to call him.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: But he's like, he helps make sure that the record
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: company run how it's supposed to run. He's very influential
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: in getting the artists to the UH to perform at
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: the at the concerts. He negotiates the contracts like his
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: had been for a reasons because he's very smart. But
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: when we see what we did together in my last fight,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: because there was so many things that were falling apart
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: at the last minute, you know, and it was like
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: everything that fell apart path was right there. It's like
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I'm just complaining, like, oh my god, I gotta make
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: this call, I gotta do this, I gotta do that
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: because I'm my own like Selina's my promoter. But it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: like I'm also a self promoter, you know what I'm saying,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Like I'm you ain't worry about me, I'm promote myself
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: and I just remember, like, man, I don't even know
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: who to call for this, and I'm center being in
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: the PAP and He's like, I got it, don't worry
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: about it, and I'm.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Like what he like, I got it?
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It's great to hear from Pat Poofs because as this
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: last year has been happening for them, y'all know, it
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: was a fallout with Remyma, who Pat Poofs legally is
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: still married to, but they're no longer together. He is
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: in a relationship with Clarissa Shields, and during that fallout
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: we found out that they, Clarissa Shields and Pat Poos
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: were even involved with one another.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: But there has been.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Various narratives around the relationship, you know, uh, the fact
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that you know, financially, what is his role, what does
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: he do?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: What does he not do?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: A lot of that came from the back and forth
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: with remy Ma, where Remy you know, made allegations that
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: financially Pat Poos is living off of Clarissa Shields. Now,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: in this press conference, Patpooss spoke up about a lot
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of different things. So he talked about Clarissa Shilds being
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a love of his life, and just the impact that
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: this deal and that her career has on fighting.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Let's say a listen, where is the love of my life?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: So I already knew once I bring these two together,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: it's amazing. And I was able to introduce them to
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: each other, and we just kept working over the years.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: She became and she found us up in a position
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: when she was a free agent, and there was a
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: no bringer because I already know she's in great hands
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: with my family over here, and I've seen the history
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: that she made with Dmitri, So bringing all these people together,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I'm just blessed and happy that I was able to
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: do that. She deserved every dime and here we y' all,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: so once again, congratulations to the Queen.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I love you.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But then, of course we got a one on one
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: sit down with Pap Hooos and he talked to me
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: about a ton of things, including the narrative around his relationship.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Let's head goes to the path.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: It disappoints me that all right, Kat Williams had did
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: a stand up one time and out of no way,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I never met Kat Williams. And he said, and when
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: he was doing a stand up, he said, Yo, why
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: y'all don't fuck with pap popes like he ain't never
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: do nothing but g shit. He never did nothing but
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: real shit, and me and him never even met. So
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I just bring that up to say that what I've
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: done being in this game for so long, never selling
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: my soul, never back door, and never doing no Sorry,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I'm disappointed that some of y'all would actually believe some
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: of that foolishness. Very disappointed. So it doesn't upset me.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: But for those who know me cool, the newcomers, the
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: casuals who don't know no better, I get it. But
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: those of y'all who know me very disappointing that you
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: would even jack some of that because it makes no
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: sense at all.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Now if you guys have not taken anything else from
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: this conversation, Baby Clarissa shows is rich as hell, so
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter in my.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Opinion, who's giving what, who's doing what.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: She's also she seems very happy and very content in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: her relationship as well, you know, as far as we
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: can see.
• 7:39
