• 1:00
  Speaker 6: my show, my promotion, that's what really promoted, that's what
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: really motivated me to do this last fight. But other
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: than that, I think that's pretty much it. I just
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: feel like I want to give my fans everything that
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: I got in that ring, and I don't know if
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: I could keep up that momentum and that that type
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: of lovepect.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: They don't want to be a couple of YouTubers though.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: After that, like, oh, y'all do that. I'm talking about fights.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: They really count.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: YouTube YouTube fights, money and influencer.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's for sure. Now I'll do that for sure.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: I still be an entertainer. I still go out there.
• 1:39
  Speaker 8: But the decision you made happened must have been it
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: must have been doing training camp, because when you first
• 1:43
  Speaker 8: announced this, like you said, this is your farewell to Brooklyn,
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: but you're still gonna fight again.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: But then like that changed.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: I said it was eighty five chance that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I hang it up.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, what was the last thing because you said
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: that was the eighty five So what.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Was the fifth?
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: The team is just because I'm a fighter?
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: What was the thing that said now this is it?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Was it?
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: The training was like, nah, I'm my back hurt.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: Like it wasn't. It wasn't the training. It was like
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: before I started, before I even started training, I knew
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: that this could be my last fight.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Does fatherhood play a part in it?
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely. I got three kids, three beautiful kids, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: I got my son, Danny he's one. I got Palaced
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: she's three, and I got Philly she's ten. So definitely,
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: just being here, I'm missing time with them. And my
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: daughter's already ten years old, and I felt like I
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: missed her grow up. To be honest, that's how fast
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: them ten years went. It's like I missed so much,
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: you know, because when you're in the prime of your career,
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: everything's going so fast. It's like everything's like you miss everything.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: And I just felt like I missed her grow up.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: And I don't want to feel that with my other
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: two kids.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You gained a lot, though, Oh yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: For sure. It's a sacrifice, you know, and life. You know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: you can't have it all. You can't have that beautiful family.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Then you can't have the time, you can't have the money, Like,
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: you just can't have it all. Every time you gotta
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: sacrific something, you know, how it goes to be successful.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: You know, you've been a world champion in multiple weight classes,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: but I feel like people still underrate you.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: Why do you think that is.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: I don't know, probably because I'm a Philly. I don't know.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: I really never understood that. But like even when I
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: was an amateur, I was the number one amateur in
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: two thousand and six, and you know, in the amateurs,
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: you gotta fight the best every single day. You can't
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: there's no ducking and dodging. So sometimes it's harder to
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: win a national title than to be a world champion,
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: because a world champion they could like kind of build
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: you up and stuff like that. But I never understood.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: It's just it's just how the fans looked at me.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Sometimes you can't choose how people look at you. Sometimes
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: you think you're gonna be like this love person and
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: then when you go out to the mass's like you
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: the hated person. So it's just how it's just how
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: the people look at you. And that's how the people.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn loves you, though.
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: I mean, you fought nine times already in BK and
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: for a long period of time you held the record
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: for the gate right, what fight was that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Therm in sixteen five hundred, Yeah, and then tanking rolling?
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: People love you, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah for sure,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: So definitely the fans like me. I mean probably like
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: the politics of boxing is what I think he's trying
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: to say, Like they never gave me my credit, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: I think the fans give me my credit and the
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: fans love me.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: You said, you just realizing that you don't have the passion?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Is this something you're just realizing or you know, even
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I think your last fight was against what laua? Yeah, yeah,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and you got stopped in the night round. Did you
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: have the passion? Then you think it was Wayne going away?
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Then I thought I thought I was up for it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: And then remember I was out for twenty eight months
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: before that fight. I was out, and you know, boxing
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: inactivity for a fighter, that's the worst thing for a
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: boxer because you gotta stay active, you gotta stay sharp.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: So I thought I could do it, and I went
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: up away class from one forty seven to one sixty.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: Damn.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was trying to do something legendary, but it
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: didn't work my way, you know. But it's all good,
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: So let's talk about it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: You took two years off the ship because of anxiety
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: and depression. So what happened during the two years that says,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: you know what, I need to take a step aside,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: like what was what was concerning the.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Banda Vidas fights to the Laura fight. I was actually
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: already I recovered from everything that was from like from
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty to twenty twenty two. That's what I was
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: going through, like anxiety and depression. Then I came back,
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: I beat Banavida's I put it all behind me. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: just started looking at life different, started being I appreciate things,
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: being grateful, and uh I felt good. And then I
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: just sat around for two and a half years, not
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: because I wanted to, because you know, boxing just sometimes
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: this is just the way it is.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: You know, you fought some killers too, that man, you
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: think about Thermy and that. I mean, I swear I
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: kind of forgot about some of those tills.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: I came in.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: We were just talking about. But you fought Therman, you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: fought Porter, you faught Spence, but you never got stopped.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: You feel like your toughness, your toughness was taking for granted.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, for sure. Two out of those three fights
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: I feel like I won. You know, those are the
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: controversial fights, especially the Thermin and Quarter fight. Many people
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: thought I won those fights, but no, I always knew.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Everybody knew I was gritty, I was tough. That's what
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: got me here is my heart. So I never yeah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: I never E've been knocked down to my last fight
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: because I took a knee. Really, I got here with
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: a good shot, took a knee and that that's pretty
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: much it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: How do people don't fact and stuff like that and
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: not like just somebody's toughness, like you know what I mean,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: like you do? We do?
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: I mean I agree with you. I think that Dan
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: still doesn't get the credit he deserves. But when it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: all set and down, I guess you don't want to
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: say look back and you know you hang the gloves
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: up and they go watch those fights on historic fights.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: You know you get in in the Hall of Fame.
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure, I got You know, some people think
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: I've read something on the like a week ago about
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: your fighting a random personal he said, Oh, he's fighting
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: this last fight because he needs money.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: But that's that's not the case with you.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: You got with your money, the money. It's not show,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: you know, so I'm not even doing it for the money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: Right, But talking about that though, like how you one
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: of the few fighters that has done well with your
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: money and don't really need to fight every year you
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: on a barbershop.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: You Yeah, I have real estate investments with the banks,
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: and that's pretty much how I live. I just leave
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: off my investments, like the interest that's all, like you know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: rental income and then interest from my stocks and my investments.
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, what made you start thinking that way?
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: I just started reading, like I used to wonder why
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: like fighters went broke. Number one was taxes, Like a
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: million is not a million? No, mallon's like four hundred.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Well I have to pay everybody in box, and it
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: might be like three hundred. So I just started looking
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: at like why fighters go broke? Number one was taxes.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: So I'm like, okay, I got to make sure that
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: when I get this check, I got enough to pay
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: the taxes at the end of the year and still
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: have some money left. So first I just stacked my
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: money up, and then when I got to a certain point.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: I used to always go into the bank and the
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: bank will tell me, like you should you should go
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: to the wealth management department so they can help you,
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: like invest your money. The first time I went in there,
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: it was like stocks, but you know you're coming from
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: the hood. Everybody tells you don't buy that stuff because
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: you're gonna lose all your money and go broke. So
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: I just went and bought some Warren Buffett books and
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: I just read like two Warren Buffet books, and then
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: he was like, over the last hundred years, like the
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: market only crashed ten times, but it always recovered. So
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: when I read that, I'm like, look, this is a
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: guy who's this He's a master in it. So I
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: put the whole thing in there. I just put everything
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: I've had in there and just see everything. It was
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: just like so many stocks. It's like I got sixty
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: percent stocks and then like forty percent bonds, so forty
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: percent of my money, say, and then the others like
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: you know, volatile.
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: What's the mindset going into this fight with the being
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: your last fight, right, Like, is there any additional pressure?
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: No?
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: Actually, I feel really good. I feel good. I feel relaxed.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: It's like I don't have no weight on my shoulders.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: I just feel like I'm I'm a veteran in the
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: game and I'm over that like psyching myself out stuff.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: I'm just taking them one day at a time. You know,
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: sometimes you're just worried about the future so much that
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: you kind of like psych yourself out. But now it's
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: just like I just try to learn how to enjoy
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: every moment leading up to the fight.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: When you see these boxes get some of these huge
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: paydays by fighting whoever they want. Right, we talked earlier
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: about YouTube stars and influencers. Does that make you say,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: you know what, forget quote unquote real box, and I'm
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: gonna go this lane because there's more money in this lane.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I wish I would have always start
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: like that. Like growing up in Philly, it's like if
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: you did, like if you promoted yourself or then anything weird,
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: it's like you get clowned for it. Like it's like
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: Philly they teach try to be like real. But I
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: feel like that's what we're missing, is like the marketing
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: part you said real real what it's just like, don't
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: do not goofy for FAMESH got you? You know what
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: I mean? Like that's how I was always brought it up.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: But it's like, really, you gotta kind of have like
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: a character, you know, you got to you gotta be
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: a fighter, and you gotta be a entertainer. So I
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: wish I would have been thought like that. Yeah, but
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I was like all in with it. But yeah, yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: I won't you know if it presents something's presented.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: To me, you know, but not even like YouTube results.
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: So Turkey has been pulling a lot of money into
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: the sport and a lot of these fighters are getting
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: huge PAIDI is I know, I haming. You know, he's
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: done a lot for your career and he made sure
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: fighters get got paid well. But this Turkey is on
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: a different level. Like what you know reports that Bud
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: got fifty million against Canelo. Canelo got a buck fifty
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: And do you wish you maybe was part of this era?
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: No, not really. I mean I'm grateful for whatever I
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: got in my life. Yeah, you know, I don't never
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: really count nobody else's pockets, never be happy to do that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: What was it?
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: What was your take on on on Bud's performance against Canelo?
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: Did you see that coming in? Who did you pick
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: to win that fight?
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: I thought Canelo was gonna win because he's too strong,
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Like I just thought he was gonna walk him down
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: and was gonna try to box him, and then it
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: was gonna give it to Canelo, like on a close fight,
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: just because he was the bigger fighter. But No, Crawford
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: did his thing like he did a beautiful performance.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: You forught him in the Amateurs?
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah two times? Two times? Yeah?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Who won those?
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: I won the first one, that he won the second one.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: But I felt like I want.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Both fighters always feel like that. I always feel like.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you, what's the fight that keeps
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: you up at night? Like what's the one you wish
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: you could run back?
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: Man? Keep them? That fight was like, that was my
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: first loss, and I was thirty three and oh before that,
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: so I never dreamed about like losing. So when I lost,
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: I felt like somebody died in my family. Like that's
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: how bad it was.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Damn.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did Floyd do that to a generation? I feel
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: like Floyd did that to a generation Floyd being undefeated
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and made boxes feel like you gotta be undefeated to
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: be great.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Nah. I never really cared about being undefeated, but it
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: was like my first loss. It was tough, like you
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: know what I mean, Like the first time losing. I
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: knew it was a possibility I could lose because I
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: was finding another great champion like myself. But I just
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: felt unstoppable. So when when I lost, it was like dang,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: I learned something about myself.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: So how did you recover and reset from that?
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: I just took a year off and came back and
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: knocked somebody out and then got about it. What a
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: fight was that? Brandon Reals?
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, Brandon was tough. I never you never
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: seen Brandon get knocked out like that. That was vicious.
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: Who was somebody that you wish you would have fought
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: out from your era that you didn't?
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: Just Floyd pack Ya, That's about it, Floyd and Pa. Yeah.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: I feel like I thought everybody else besides Crawford, but
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: I thought him in the amateurs, right, But I really
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: thought every single body in my generation.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: Did you Did you ever try to make a fight
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: with pack Yo back when you were at.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: When he fought Thurman, they off for they offered him
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: mere Thurman. Yeah, they said you want to fight Daniel
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Thurman and he picked he picked Thurman. Wo.
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was never an option.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Well, when I thought Matisse and he thought, uh Canelo.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Remember I was the core main event. I was told
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: if I beat Matisa, Remember, I was like you was
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: underdog again. Nobody thought I was gonna win, but they
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: said if I won that fight that they were setting
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: it out for me to fight Fluid, but it just
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: never happened.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: Damn, Which fights you think to find you as a fighter.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Everybody always want to talk about the losses, Which one,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: which was which win? You think to find you a fighter,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you had to show people. This is why Danny Garcia
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: it needs to be in the Hall of Fame.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: Which fight would be?
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: Well, the mere Con fight, I was eight to one underdog. Damn, yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: I was eight one under dog. I remember when I
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: came back to my room. My friend was laying the money.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: He put ten thousand on me. He was laying on
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: them on the bed. I remember at the.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: MB who was that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: That's my friend Eddie Freddie. Yeah, he mean like eighty thousand.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: Jesus.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: He was just laying on the money and I was like, damn,
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I need a piece of that. Because I didn't really
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: make a lot of money. I just took it because
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: I was just trying to be great. But they said
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: I got lucky on that fight. But then I came back.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: I beat Morales again, I beat Judah and Brooklyn and
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: then they fand me the Matisse.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: That was the defining fight in my opinion, because I.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: Was then underdog again and I went in there and
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: I beat him and I was like, what you say?
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: And he was knocking everybody out. Yes, coming off a
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: big knockouts, that was a big win.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: And you talked earlier about taking time off of mental
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: health reasons. What did you learn about yourself during that
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: break that fight and could never teach?
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: That's a good question. You just got to be like
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: I was always a warrior, Like I was worried about
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: stuff Like I just I learned that I can't. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: can't save everything, you know what I mean. I can't
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: change the world as much as you want. Like you
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: try to help, you know, you try to do this,
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: You try to do that. I just try to Yeah,
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: I can't save the world. And basically, like I just
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: try to be living the moment. That's it because most
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: of the stuff you're worrying about is like stuff that
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: never happens. And I don't know. I was always like that.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: I just be worrying thinking about.
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: Things that anxiety is.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just be if I gotta fight, I just
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: be thinking about it every day. I can get my
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: mind off the damn fight. And I'm thinking that I'm focused,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: but I'm really just psyching myself out. As soon as
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: I go in the ring, it just go away. But
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: I just hate that feeling, like you know, it's like
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: you can't get that thought off your head.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: You feeling like that now?
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: No, I feel good now.
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: But look though, say you do lose, is that retirement
• 15:43
  Speaker 9: gonna be reversed? Like now I gotta fighte person.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: I gotta win. I can't lose. I can't lose. The
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: way I've been training and the way I've been the
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: way I've been preparing myself, I can't lose. There's no
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: way I could lose this fight, gotcha? I mean, you know,
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: but nah, why didn't you want your last fight in Philly?
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: I actually tried to do it in Philly. We actually
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: tried to do it out front at the Art Museum,
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: like first time ever. It wasn't enough time and then
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: I would have to wait till like next year, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: that would have been on another layoff, two year layoff,
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: waiting around again. It just didn't just didn't have enough
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: time to get it done.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: And it's not just like your last fight.

  Speaker 6: how to fight.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: Teach you how to fight.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: The funny thing you said about marketing too, I was
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: thinking about it. I'm like, that was mad people and
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: surely that know how to market themselves and don't look
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: moofie though, like Gilly the Willows.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: Kevin Hart, Yeah, but.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: Before they was all serious member but not Kevin Hart.
• 17:51

  Speaker 3: Was serious about that.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: We was Gil Now he's been in himself. He was
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: always like that, you know, funny laughing around. But you
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: know in Philly is just like gotta be tough. Yeah,
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: it's just how people. It's how they talk, they teach people,
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: or how you raised.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: Are you worried or about like I know you want
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: to retire, but do you get scared like that? Once
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: I'm done with this, it's really over because this is
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: your whole life. You've been boxing is what's seven years old?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Years old? Like, do you get sed Uh?
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Sometimes I think about it, I'm like, Dan, what I'm
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: gonna do now?
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: It kind of defined you.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, my health is
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: my wealth, and that's the most important thing to me.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: As long as I'm healthy and I'm good, I know
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: I can always make money or make deals or something
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: like that. You know what I mean. I just want
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: to leave the game in my brain, right, I don't
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: want to be all punchdog and stuff or yeah, I
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: mean that's the real stuff.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: And then you got baby cads and you got so
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: you definitely want to be.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: Learn to my kids and stuff like that.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: You don't want to.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Be that way.
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: Who been taught you on the business side of box?
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Your side? Like I said before, well, my pop always
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: told me by real estate. Okay, so like even like
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: back in Philly, like and when I first turned pro, Oh.
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: No, I mean the business side of just boxing.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: Oh the business side oh really, just me and my
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: dad I mean, and then our Haymen, And that's pretty
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: much it. That's the only person I ever worked with,
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: like talking real businesses, Angel Garcia and now Hayman. That
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: was it. It was just us three, like the whole run,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: that whole run of all the people off thought. That
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: was just me Angel and omen.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: When you start making real money in the rent.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean my first million dollars in twenty twelve,
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: when I thought Eric Morales and then after that, like
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: I'll made two million, three million, And when you when.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: You seen Floyd create his own promotion company back then
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: and just do it on his own.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: That may not make you think, you know what, let
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: me do that because Floyd.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: It seemed like Floyd just took a leap of faithor
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: and sai, I'm gonna do all this on myself and
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: created a brand doing it. Is that part of the
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: inspiration to do what you're doing now?
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: I mean Floyd's inspired me in ways he has, definitely,
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: But I always wanted to do my own promotion. I
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: always wanted to do like have my own fight or
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: my own stable and things like that.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: How difficult is that?
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Because it from the outside it seems like I just
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: promote myself and go to the fight and do that.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: But how difficult is it? Break it down? What it actually?
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: It's probably better off just being a fighter, to be honest. Really, Yeah,
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: like you signed to a good promoter and they got
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: a good TV deal or something, and they paid for it.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: That's probably the best way to go because remember you
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: the promoter. You gotta put out the money. You gotta
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: pay for the production, you gotta pay for the ambulance
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: in the back. You gotta pay for everything. So if
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: it don't sell.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: For this fight?
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: How much thinking about it?
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: How much? How much do you know?
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: You don't got to give us exact but how much
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: you think around you have to put out for this
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: fight right here?
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Half a million, six hundred thousand.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: And did you make it back yet with the pre
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: sales and all that yet?
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: Well yeah, we we we have. Yeah, we're there. Yeah,
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: we're there, We're there. So I'm saying, we get some
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: good buys and we uh, we get some good walkings.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: We we we were in the green, we straight.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: So you would have rather done this with a PBC
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: or our top ring, go to the zone or somebody.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Like I would? I would I love to have done
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: like them streaming.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah I'm tied of this.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: No, no, like I was. Still would have did it
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: the same way, but if they would have used their platform,
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: but it just wasn't enough time, you know, and then
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: the millions came around there they will give you shares
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: of the company and stuff like that. So I'm like, hey,
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: I got to think of like a businessman. Now. You
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: never know, in ten years they might be a billion
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: dollar company own I own some shares of the company,
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: they sell it and I'm good, absolutely.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: But how do you focus with because you're training for
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: a fight.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But then on the business side, you're like, man,
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: I hope they say, gotta get I.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Gotta I got to make sure that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Well, my god, Mike right here, he's my partner.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: He so he uh, he take care of mayesterday.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: I must be. So it's going good. Yeah. So uh
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: it's tough, but I try not to worry about it
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: because I gotta worry about fighting and then whatever happens
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: after and I just deal. I'll deal with it then.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: But the most important thing for me is getting his win.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Have you got any advice?
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: Have you talked to al Hayman at all before this
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: fight or about what you're doing?
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he knows everything. He knows everything.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Did he give you any advice? Like what did he say?
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: It was just you know, well he just told he
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: just told his attorney to make sure that I'm good, like,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: don't let nobody like basically, don't let nobody dirty.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: How did your pops feel when you told me you
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: wanted to retire? Was he even the person that might
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: have came to you and been like, yo, no.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: He wanted me to fight ten more times. You never
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: want me to stop every time he just touched me, like,
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: hey man, I can't believe it. I'm like, not over, Bob,
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: don't worry, We're still here.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: I didn't tell you when you first told him, though.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: I don't think he believes me. But he does. But
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: he don't because he loves boxing like he loves him
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: more than me. You know, boxing, He just it gave
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: us everything, you know what I mean, It just changed
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: our lives. So for me to say I'm not boxing
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: no more, like damn, you don't want to do something
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: to change your life.
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: But life after boxing, he said, I'm gonna grab my
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: grandkids and train young one.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: You know, when you look at a lot of boxes,
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: a lot of boxes get disrespectful when it comes to
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: the match, right. I mean, we didn't see him talk
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: about people's mother's heritage.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: We didn't see some nasties.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: Inviting them to the genitals.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Crazy but they do anything.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: The self fights. But you never got there. How come
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: why would you say that you never did that.
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: I don't think that's my personality, to be honest. I'm
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: just kind of like I'm the type of person I
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: just like that show you in the ring. I just
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: I don't know how people got energy, like losing weight
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: and everything, like right now I'm thirsty, I'm hungry, So
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: I don't even know how people be having all that
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: strengthen talking crazy and stuff. So it's just Piba is
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: just your personality.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: Would you go to Puerto Rico is a country that
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: they loved boxing? Obviously you fought there one time a
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: long time ago. Do you want to tap in more
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: to that, like culture? Because one thing they show love
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: even the X champions, retired champions, like the trend Dad,
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: the Kotos, they be making appearances.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: All over there.
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: They love fighters, Like have you ever thought about like
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: exploring Puerto Rico a little bit more?
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: I thought about moving there. Really I should have moved
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: there ten years ago. And I'm Puerto Rican. You can
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: still do it, how to speak Spanish and everything to speak.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: So when I went to school, it was like I
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: didn't there was no like Puerto Ricans in my school
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: or nothing. It was just like I went to school
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: like blacks and whites. It was like mixed. And then
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: I grew up like it wasn't no Puerto Ricans in
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: my neighborhood. So and then like it's like New York.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: A lot of New Yorkers don't speak Spanish either.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: If you don't he's black, but I'm black, but you're
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: all black.
• 25:15

• 25:19
  Speaker 2: would be like, nah, man, I want you us.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: They just can't understand how I can't speak Spanish, like
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: when I'm in Puerto Rico or something, how you can't
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: speak Spanish. I'm like, bro, see way you can't speak English. Yeah,
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: So I'm like, you can't speak English because you live
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: in Puerto Rico. I can't speak live in America. And
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: he was like and he was like, damn, I never
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: thought about that. He was I never thought about that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, I never thought about that.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: To now, when it's all said and done, how do
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: you want people to describe Danny see at a box
• 25:59

  Speaker 6: I wanted to ask you about the terror Squad into existence.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: You told Terrence to stay at one sixty eight and
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: just fight Canelo again. Yeah, like if he came down
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: to one sixty you said, you know, that would be
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: a I don't know if you used.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: The words problem honestly hungry on there. I said, yeah,
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: they are hungry, but they're lesser names, you know, So
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: why you just came off winning a big name fight.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: You're gonna go fight guys, some guys at wont sixty
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: that people really don't know, gotcha. I just say go
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: for the go for the big name again and get
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: Now you're gonna get more money because you beat.
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: Him to fight again. They're talking about it. I think
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: that at one six they won't beat mega fights.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, but he wants to
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: conquer it.
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: He wants to be undisputed in four weight classes at
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: one sixty. He feels like that's a legacy that nobody
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: would ever chase. But that's tough because then you gotta
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: fight everybody to be undisputed.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: Well, I think they're about to unify, right like the
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: one dude?
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: Maybe if they all fight and one guy is undisputed,
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: then he only gotta fight one fight do it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: But he's thirty eight though, man.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: Like I mean me, I'm gonna do it again. I'm
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: probably I'll do it against Canlo, the biggest name again
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: and make him a lot of money again. And you're
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: going to be the east side this time.

• 28:04
  Speaker 8: to one six day and fight Canelo if that presented itself, Yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: Twenty for Canelo because I know you're throwing that money.
