• 4:03
  Speaker 1: or two bodyguards.

  Speaker 2: It was like twenty five giants.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: You're right. He made Sugar Ray Robinson one of the

  Speaker 3: original entourage and made him look like a piker. I mean,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: you know, he just had an airdresser and a chef.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: But of course, you know, Mike Tyson had a file
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: for bankruptcy because of Don King Vander Holyfield lost most

• 4:51
  Speaker 4: speaking experience, well LJ of the Knicks, Larry Johnson, right,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I think seven women, seven different children.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I felt, you know, I always felt bad for
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: poor Joe Lewis, one of the greatest fighters of all time.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: He donated over one hundred thousand dollars in the nineteen
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: forties that would be about four million today to the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: World War two war effort, but the IRS wouldn't let
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Lewis use the donations as a charity write off. As
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a result, Man he had a fight past his prime,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: and even that turned to wrestling. But there is a
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: good two guys who did make out well. Larry Larry
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Holmes took his money and invested in real estate in
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: his hometown of eastern Pennsylvania. And then, of course there
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: was George Foreman, who he earned fifty million in the ring,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: mainly because the pay per view came around, and two
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million on the George Foreman grill, So
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that worked out all right for him. And your guy
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Rock Marciano Curtis. You always talk about.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Him, Oh yeah, he had alligator arms, didn't spend anything.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Was probably the biggest cheap skate they'd ever lived.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Well, and he didn't believe in banks because he grew
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: up in the depression. Cash everything cash. In fact, he
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: wants put fifty thousand dollars in a paper bag and
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: went to the movies with his daughter. The movies let
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: out and they were walking homers and oh wait a minute,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: what about the fifty thousand dollars in the bag. They
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: ran back to the movies. Fortunately they hadn't cleaned up yet.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: It was still there. All right, I've got the boo
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: of the week. I mean to me, this is horrible.

  Speaker 3: It goes to Cornell University for letting anti Semite student
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Austin Franco back into classes after saying he would not
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: work for Jews. Here's a question. What if Franco had
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: said he would not work for African Americans or he
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: would not work for Muslims, he would have been thrown
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: out of school for good? What a double standard?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, do appreciate that, Warner?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Uh gee, he got accepted back into Cornell.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unbelievable.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: The selective outrage in our society is sometimes sickening, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: it really does only come from one side.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: But it's got to end. Do appreciate that, Warner?
• 7:43
