Speaker 2 (02:12):
After last weekend in Las Vegas, right back to work
with Funking the Champ. Congrats on another successful weekend last weekend,
my friend.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Thank you. Yeah, it was great. This was our first ever.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
There's not a lot of things we haven't got done
at a w A, but Senior US Open champion was
one of them, so we checked that box. Next thing
we need to check his senior world medalist and we're
hoping to get that done.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
This year or maybe like an Olympian or something. Huh
that might be well, Olympian World team member.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Like I kind of count those as the same.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I mean, you did both, so I think they're the
same because it's like there's obviously every fourth year world what.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
So Ben, wait, you made an Olympic team but not
a world team, and so you're trying to jumble them
all together.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
So wait, so Ben? Were you?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Ben?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
So were you you one of the unfortunate ones of
making the Olympic team but not a world team? Is
that what that is?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, I made it a twenty three. You didn't make
anything before you were twenty three?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yes I did.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
You did not make a senior world team for your
twenty three? Yes I did?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
You were lying you had been made the first one
in two thousand and three.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Three. How old are you? Two thousand and three?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
So I'm forty?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
What your birthday? What year were you born?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
In? Ninety seventy nine? So I was twenty four?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Goda, damn it, got thing?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
You got it?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hold twenty four? You're right, bro, You're right?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
God, bang it out. Twenty four actually because it was
in the summer of two thousand.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
When's your birthday?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Seventy nine?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
But what day? What day?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Twenty March twentieth. Alright, yeah, hey Ben, so.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
God, I hate you really frustrating that you're smart.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Guess what, bro, I think you have someone that.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Is willing to speak about the UFC in the same
way that you do, because you guys are like respectful,
but then you kind of take your shots, then you
give respect, then you take your shot. It's like you
give compliments hidden underneath like a little bit of hate.
That's like game da White.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I recognize these strengths and weaknesses in Dana's character, and
I don't gloss over the weakness parts. But yes, there's
I mean, uh, I mean that's most human beings you meet.
Like there's some things you love about them and respect
about them, and there's some things like, eh, I'm not
so sure about this one, Dana, maybe even to the
extremes on both sides of course.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But yeah, I like this Eddie hernclip.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I actually agree with him on some parts, and I
actually disagree with him on some parts. And you watch
boxing more than me. So he said something like boxing
is killing it. I feel like boxing is dying. I
am not a huge boxing fan, but that's what I
feel like.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So it's kind of all perspective, right, because the money
in boxing is much bigger today than it's ever been.
Those guys weren't making anywhere near what they're making today,
I'm sorry, back then to what they're making today. Obviously
things change, right, Inflation, the economy changes, everything goes different, right,
(05:25):
So maybe the ten million dollars they were making in
nineteen ninety seven equates.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
To what today had been thirty yes, more than there huh.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, right, So essentially it's very relative. But in terms
of numbers, different stars not so much. Guys with the
ability to sell not so much. But I think that's
across all platforms in the UFC. They're not selling pay
per views at the rate that they were before.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
But don't you think that And this is I mean,
this is a little bit to any Hurd's point, but
I kind of think it's by the zee is that
no matter who is fighting, if there is a UFC
thing on, they're gonna have X amount of people tune in.
And you know, ESPN cares about the amount of subscribers
to their ESPN Plus platform, and I think UFC has
been killing it for them.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, the UFC's killed it for ESPN, yes, But I'm
talking pay per view buys. I think that that sentiment
that you just shared, where you said there's a baseline
number of people that will buy every UFC I think
that number today is smaller than it was in the
past because.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I know on good authority that there have been some
pay per.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Views men that you wouldn't believe the numbers now, say
a UFC pay per view selves one hundred thousand buys.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, right, that's really low. Yes, that's what we would think.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
In boxing they do one hundred thousand buys constantly and
it's low.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But because of the structure of how the pay per views.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Are paid out, it's not as bad, whereas the UFC
when it does one hundred thousand, that's really bad. So
he might be saying boxers killing it when the numbers
are pretty comparative, but because of the way that it's
split in the revenue, they feel better about it.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Do you just mean money to the fighters or because
I so, I feel like, you know, how many fighters
on the UFC payroll, like six hundred something.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
No do there's like seven hundred something guys on them.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Okay, do you think?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And so like, if you're at the bottom of the
UFC roster, you're probably making what's the minimum now, fifteen
to fifteen or something?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
No, no, no, no, no, no, it's twelve and twelve.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's it's okay, it's twelve to twelve is a minimum?
You know, are there seven hundred boxers on planet Earth
that are making that type of money?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I bet the answer is not even not even.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Not even half, not even half of boxers make twelve
and twelve. They don't make that now. The bigger guys
make a ton of money. Yes, all right, So just
for for to make a point, right, Eddie Hearn was
on that show this weekend because there's a lot of
people fighting on uh Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
So uh this coming Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
That's the problem.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You don't even know, That's what I'm saying. You don't
even know.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But there's big name fighters Canelos fighting, okay, you Femo
Lopez is fighting, Garcia is fighting, Javonte Davis.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Fe he was on the undercard from me did the
one boxing really.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Hey, Luise, put it in the chat. Who else is fighting?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Because it's Femo, it's Ryan Garcia, it's Canelo, it's Tank.
I think it's Tank Davis. Or if it's not Take,
it's the Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I've heard all those guys.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, you've heard of them, but you didn't know that
they're all fighting in New York City.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Why are they all fighting New York City? Bro?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
It's kind of like beat the streets. It's kind of
like beat the streets.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Really, yes, yes, So they're all fighting on those two days,
and what it is, honestly, like, the matchups aren't great.
The odds to those boxing fights on Best fight odds
dot com. Luise, it'll tell you what the odds are
on those fights. But they're putting on this blockbuster of
an event, and people like you who's in combat sports
(09:11):
don't even know it.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
When Edit hearn goes, it's killing it. When Tyson Fury
fights Francis and Ghanu, it kills it. When Tyson Fury
fights against Alexander Usik, it kills it. Like those fights
kill it. We just don't have as many of those
fights as we used to. Remember, we could get we
could get uh Tyson holy Field. We could get Riddick
(09:35):
Bow versus George Foreman. We could get Michael More versus
Tommy Tommy Morrison. We could get so many great fighters
back in the day.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
All the while Oscar de la Joya is rocking in
Roland Floyd Mayweather's rocking.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And Roland Daniel here. But so are you're naming all
these guys right?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But and this is my understanding boxing, the UFC has
will say, eighty to ninety percent of the high level
talent in mixed Marshall, Yes, is there any company in
boxing that is anywhere near that amount?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Not like it used to be before a lot of
guys went Top rank boxing. They were with Top Rank,
they were with Don King, like you had a few
promoters that had all the guys. Now they're a bit
spread out and with TKO boxing, right, they're going to
be trying to draw in a lot of that talent
themselves like they already have. Callan Walsh, who's been headlining
(10:28):
cards for a long time. But look, Tia Femo is
a minus two twenty five. Ryan Garcia is a minus
nine hundred. Devin Hainey is the other one. He's minus
twelve hundred, So they're kind of mismatches right in these fights.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So they want to.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Get eyes on the sport though. But I listed to
you right now.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Four of the biggest names in this sport of boxing,
and you didn't know. Ryan Garcia is one of the
biggest names, not for the best reasons, because he's out
of his minds at times.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
But he's a part of it.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But when Eddie hern is saying I can't name six
stars in the UFC, that's one of those areas right there, Ben,
where I go. He's very complimentary of Data, saying they
run a great business, they do this, they do this,
But then it's also like there's no there's no uh,
there's no stars there. But I think that in itself, Ben,
(11:21):
if you do believe there aren't any stars there, that
in itself lends to the idea that the UFC itself
is what sells, correct, and it's not the athlete. The
only athlete that ever overcame that truly was Connor McGregor.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So okay, so I would say earlier, oh shit, that
pulled them out in my good Still, yeah, I can
hear you pull off so earlier, earlier in the UFC's career,
the lifespan of the UFC, they were more reliant on those.
You think like Randy Couture had some contract disputes. P
do Ortiz, Chuck Ledell again.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah where And the thing is he was there. You
didn't see him. He was at the tournament.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I think maybe I think dwayne'skid was wrestling.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
It was Rocking, Yeah, Rocking Chuck was there anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So back in then they were they were more reliant
on pay per views. But now there's a UFC card.
I want to say, is it forty two weeks per year,
of which I think ten of those are pay per views?
Thirteen left thirteen okay, thirteen out of the forty two
or pay per views. There is no one putting this
many fights on consistently in boxing, And I was thinking,
like I just looked it up because I actually thought
(12:29):
they were a bankrupt But there was like that PBC
who was trying to l Hayman was trying to buy
a bunch of boy build something. But no one's been
able to build it in boxing. So while I think
Eddie Hearn maybe has a few points there, I just
as a non boxing fan, I just can't get behind
the fact that boxing is huge or as big as
the ever been.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I don't feel that way at all.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
But even with Fox when the UFC let Fox, remember
they put PBC on Fox to almost replace it, and
that didn't last very long.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Right, there's nothing that.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Comes after the UFC and does as well. Because you're right,
the UFC does have a base, a core group of people,
especially free fights. You're clicking through the channel, you're you
got your hand, you're remote, you're quicking.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
You see some.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Fights you might stop and watch. I don't know that
you always do that with boxing. Here's here's one of
those ones that I thought was a bit of a
head scratcher because he's been in this business for a
long time, so he knows and he understands. He goes
he Ko is promoting Canelo versus Crawford. The combined value
of those persons is anywhere between one hundred and twenty
(13:32):
and one hundred and fifty million dollars. If that fight
does one point five million buys or whatever. Does that
mean that when a UFC fight does one point five
million buy they are making one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I think the answer is yes.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Okay, so you think that the answer is just that. Yeah, dude,
Zopa is making, Yes, Zoop is making all the way.
But how many paper you sell that much? Which has
pabe been in history?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That's about to say, Kabieven Conner sold two point four million.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The biggest ever ever.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I will tell you from experience being on the card
with brock Lesner and I.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Still at the fight brock Lesson and that was bullshit.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, because Brock went back to the ww man. He
Brock kind of screwed me a little bit. But listen,
bro brock Lesner, myself a man in Newon as you
have c two hundred one point three million buys, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
One point three million buys.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I know what that equated to me in my pocket
as a person that made pay per viewpoints. But one
hundred million dollars? I mean, what what is it?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Ben?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
One point two million buys at at sixty nine to
ninety nine tell me.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That, well, that's uh a sixty nine million plus we'll
say fourteen.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It was eighty four million dollars.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Personally, right, So and I'm sure, I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I'm sure the pay per view get a little cut
of that or something.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, of course, But still like eighty four million, at
one point three at two hundred thousand, yeah right, you're
almost at one hundred million dollars, So yes, maybe it does.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
But but even that, right, even that.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
In saying that, what is the goal of that to see,
like what's the UFC making appost to what they're paying
the fighter or like what what's the goal in him
saying that? Is he saying that whoever's going to pay
these purses, who I believe is going to be Riot season.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I believe that the.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Turkey sheet Turkey and those guys, yeah, will probably cover that.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
But what's the.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Point in saying that that that there's just more money
to give the fighters?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Like I'm trying to understand.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I think this is one thing that boxing points to
you that say we're better than you because they want
to feel like they're better than them. But then to
the you know, I mean, to the point made earlier
UFC had seven fighters, seven hundred fighters and roster. There's
there's not seven hundred boxers naming a decent living in
the whole world. And so while the very very top
people may make more, the very body people make a
(16:05):
lot less.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
They do I mean, Canel probably makes forty million dollars.
Him and Terrence Crawford must be making some big time
money from the state of those persons are one twenty five.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, I do think the UFC fighters are making kind
of more than ever.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I would be shocked or not shocked.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I would be curious to see how many fighters and
we would include fight perse plus UFC sponsorship, so we'll
exclude other sponsorships. They may get made more than say
a quarter million dollars last year.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I bet the.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Numbers like really really yeah, but there's a couple of
hydrid and boxing is probably like way low.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I know what I made to fight Derek Lewis, and
when it came out, and I don't know who told them,
everybody was so surprised. But now I know probably I
know of maybe ten to fifteen guys that are making that.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It was astounding.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
How many guys are making that numbers great now, it's
that was only seven years ago, in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And how I want to can I can? I can
I ask you a question?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
No, wait, we're almost done.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
What is your problem?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
So excited but I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
You're gonna have great opinions. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Okay, I'll take it all right, I'll give it to you.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Wait wait, so wait, what's the verdict on the Eddie
hern thing hate are respectful of the UFC?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Okay, verdict is he has some good points and he
has some points that are kind of stupid. Yes, the
UFC has has put at a premium the building of
the UFC brand so that there's a baseline of fans
who turn it tune into the UFC no matter who's fighting.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
They might not know who's.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Fighting by Saturday, they're turning tuning in to watch it
on ESPN Plus or or wherever it's streaming. I think
there's there's positive and negative that The positive would be
there's more fighters earning a living in MMA than there
is in boxing by a long margin. Then negative is
there are not as many stars earning the wages that
they are in boxing.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
So plus yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that he respects
the UFC. I also think that the UFC, if they
do take anything from his words, you.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Gotta kind of listen to a guy who's been promoting
fights for thirty years. He knows the game, right, he
has to know something about boxing to have made it
as long as he has made it. For as horrible
as people make don King out to be. Don King
was with Muhammad Ali, right, don King was with all
those guys all the way through Mike Tyson, so he
clearly understood the game.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
So if the UFC takes anything from Eddie Hearn, I
would listen to some of his advice because he has
been in the game for a really long time, and
and it's a new venture for the UFC, but those
guys are smart and they're gonna employ the right people
to guide them down the right path to the boy.
What a way to kick off tk O boxing. If
(18:57):
you're promoting Crawford versus Canelo, that's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Man, I kind of I'm sorry before we get the
girl thing. That's what I'm so excited about.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Okay, I asked you, I thought Crawford's like a one
forty five, and I thought.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Canelo is like a one to seventy.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, but it doesn't matter. Crawford's a one forty seven.
He's smaller when he was younger, but now he's going up. Dude,
how do you not go up and fight a guy
that fights it well? Canelo was a one fifty four
pounder originally. Every time he goes up, it's just bulking
and just he looks big. I don't know what the
catchway is, but anywhere like in the one sixtiest range,
(19:30):
I'm pretty sure Budd is gonna be willing to fight him. Dude,
It's like sixty million dollars. Could you imagine if he
makes sixty million dollars and he still lives in Omaha, Nebraska.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
He probably has the biggest house. He's probably a bigger
house than one buffet.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
He's kinadly got the biggest house in the world. Thug. Hey,
his boys are really good wrestlers too.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yes, they won everything, man, they won like all those
roller tournaments, they won them.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
All those dudes just studs.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
His youngest boy at WrestleMania, He's like, I know you,
you're the wrestler.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
And he was like sitting next to me right in
the whole time.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
He's walking with this belt, bro, and every time he
goes in front of me, he just kind of eyes me.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
He walks back, maybe nine years old, ten years old.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Every time he walks back, he's like, I was like,
all right, but you go ahead, get to rilla.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
All right, what is going lie? You know what?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
There's this thing online one hundred men versus a gorilla,
and Louis brought it up as a possible talk and
I thought, hey, we have fun with this, and I
made one post about it, and I thought I would.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Did you get engaged?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Was it engaged?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
It was engaged very well.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But my post was how many people is the gorilla
gonna kill before it gases out? Because no one's talking
about that. They're about how strong it isn't how powers
every strong man?
Speaker 3 (20:49):

Speaker 4 (22:48):
It's storytime. It's storytime. Before you make your point, I
have to share this with you.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Ok, all right, this is the best. So I have
this friend name Freddy. He works for EA Sports. He's
the producer. He oversees all of the voice work.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
That John Anak and I do.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
He had this great idea that him and his wife
or his fiance, I'm not sure, are gonna go on
an African safari and then they're gonna go into the
mountains to see mountain gorillas.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Right, see what this is going.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
This is great, This is a great story. They go
on this safari, he tells me, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
He said.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
The smells are ridiculous though, like dead animals, people eating.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
He had a video of.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Lions hunting eight things and then he killed them and
I watched the video and he goes, bro, those there
SUVs are right next to the kill.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
So he could smell all that disgusting shit.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But after they're done with the safari, they go up
to the mountain. He said, they're like certain hikes. You
can go higher, you can lower based on your fitness.
They went higher.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
They said, there are rules when it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Comes to these gorillas. You cannot deceive, you cannot appear big.
You have to put yourself small, and you have to
make sure you're quiet. They go up and like how close.
They're like, just please listen, please listen. So Freddie and
his girlfriend or wife, I'm not exactly sure what they are.
I think it's his wife or with a group of
(24:14):
people that they go. There's group of people they know
from family. They have a twenty one year old kid
that is with them. Twenty one year old boys are
full of testosterone. They like to mess around, right, they
like to mess around.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So they go up.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
There's this whole family. Girls, they're in the brush with them.
Ben they're like literally like right next to them.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But then they see the silver back, the big one.
What's it called the male, the alpha?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
The alpha?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yes, they tell them, if you see him, make sure
head and appear small and.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
You don't look him in the eye. Probably don't look
at him.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
You do not look at him.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
So Freddie is standing in front of a rock, a
big like a boulder, like a rock. Okay, the Sylla backers,
they're eating things. The kid, though, is behind Freddy on
the rock. He's standing on the rock bend. So not
only is he not cowering down, Ben, not only is
(25:19):
he not cowering down, he is laying He's like as
as big as he could ever imagine. Freddy said, all
of a sudden, the thing looked at the kid right
bloom ran. So Freddy goes, oh my god, and he
turned his head down like he turned oh my god,
like scared.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
He said.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Next thing he knew. He woke up under the bush.
It ran towards and slapped him on his back bend.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
He just slapped in.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
The gorilla slapped him. Bin exactly. I don't, I don't,
I said, wait, he hit you.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
He goes, it actually hit me. He said that because
the kid was up. The kid then jumps down.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Then should have.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Got the kid because when he started running, the kid
went down so kind of so he was in front
of the kid.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
He said, it hit him that gorilla humans look alone.
It hit him in his back. He said.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
He he kind of was under the brush with half
of his body in under a tree. Yeah, fifteen to
twenty yards away or fifteen twenty feet away from where
he was.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
He said.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
He looked back because he goes, I had the most
loudest and weirdest scream I've ever made my life. He goes,
I was fearful he was gonna come and kill me.
He goes, I look back, he goes, He's literally just
sitting on eating again. No words in the world. He
was just hanging out, he said. He in that moment
he realized like his rip felt like it was broken.
He said, that thing I hit him at about five
(26:49):
percent five percentrill. He said, it went super small. He
said it hit him barely bam, he said, he can tell.
He goes, it was like he was just like swatted
a fly away, like we go get out of here.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
He said.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
It was like it swatted a fly and it threw.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Him ten yards away. Under retreat Before you make your point,
that man weighs one hundred and seventy pounds, one hundred
and seventy pounds, and it slopped him once and he flew.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
He flew into the brush.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I told people with guns there to protect your man, Freddy.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I told Freddy, I said, Freddy, Freddy's an Asian guy.
I go, brother, I'll be doing that white person stuff.
I said that for you. They always see those hey,
you always heed those people. They're in there with those gorillas,
and they're like, oh my god, oh my god, oh
my god, I'm god. Why put yourself in that position? So,
now that I've told you that story.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Okay, make your point, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So I was thinking, my point on the one thing
I said on Twitter is how many humans would the
gorilla killed before the gorilla guessed out? Because everyone's neglecting
Cardio here, because Cardio is a thing. So then I
was thinking, I actually thought of a black fighter who
gassed out. But I said him because people might say
I'm comparing a black man to a gorilla, which I'm not.
So you know who I thought of, And I actually
saw him last weekend. I don't know if you saw
(28:07):
this fight, but I have never seen a human being
so tired. I saw Kellen Flukeinger from Arizo State this weekend.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Okay, I kind of put myself in harm's way here.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
He's a fighter, now, no, he was I mean Kelln
Fuckinger is graduated two thousand and five, maybe a couple
of years before me. Okay, yeah, So anyways, he was
standing in front of people. Say hey, Kellen, is then
where you could sit down? Because he is like he's
a ginormous human, I mean, super tall, big gas shoulders,
like this is a big, large man.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
And he fought in bo dog and I don't remember why,
but they fought on the beach. Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
He would take this guy down and he was so
tiredy he'd lay on him and they say, okay, you're
standing up. He would have to use the ropes to
get up. No, yes, he will, you go on, And
then he did take the guy down again and he
was like climbing up the ropes. I've never seen a
human being this tired, but as we know, even dangerous
human beings who have trained for this get tired.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
So it's like, okay, I was just doing the math.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
If the gorilla can kill a human in say fifteen seconds,
well one hundred humans, that's fifteen hundred seconds. Okay, that's
like twenty five minutes. Can the gorilla really fight hard
for twenty five minutes? And I think the answer is hell, no,
that gorilla can't.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Fight for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
He can't fight in twenty five But no way, Ben,
every time they're running at him, he's just bang, bang bang.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
One hundred men have no chance. I would have just
told you it can't fight for twenty five minutes. It
will not take twenty five minutes, because fifteen seconds, that's
fifteen seconds the person. Oh when you all run.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
First off, you're all gonna jump on him, and he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Go rah like prove, and you're all gonna fly.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Ah, he's gonna literally go broom and he's gonna like
open his arms because you're all on him.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
First off, he's.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Biting, he's scratching, fight and he's slapping the shit out
of you. And every time he hits you, boom you fly.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Okay, hey hold wait, let me can't post one thing
I thought I was sinking. Okay, if I had hundre people,
what would be the strategy? What if you just like
run at him like fake and then run away and
then someone else runs you know, so he's always like moving.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
You know he's going to charge.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
He's going to charge your.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Amazing, So then you run. Everyone just abades him. But
you kind of like antagonize, you know, like Daniel. I
know at some point and you're wrestling academy, you've been
saying some mean ship to them little kids, and they're like,
let's get Daniel.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
And they all try to attack you. Every once a while.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
These little kids do it to like Kellen Wilburd or
one of the high schoolkids that's teaching.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
It only takes about four of them to get them.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
They never get Kellen Warlburt. You're alive.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah, there was like little kids get killing Wolburt.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
They're like one hundred found kids.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Eighty seventy eighty, I don't know somewhere in there, but.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah, but yes, the gorilla. The gorilla literally is just
slapping at you. I'm telling you, every time you get close,
it hits.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
You about not not weak human beings. I don't know
if you're not okay?
Speaker 4 (30:58):
What if?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
What if I get ten trained fighters and then we'll
say ninety just solid strong men.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
And there's some real problems with that, bro.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
There's some psychological issues with the ninety strong men because
they have this belief that they're supposed to have a chance.
No man, it makes it worse if you don't have
enough respect for what you're against. It's gonna be worse.
I watched Kabib Russell a bear. Bro, I watched Kabiba
as a little boy Russell a bear and the bear
was getting him.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
It was a baby bear, a bear I saw. I said,
he could be pinned that bear.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Yes, but it's a hard match. It's a hard match.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
If that bear is full grown, you have no chance. Bro,
we have no watch.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I know you saw this, Daniel, I know this is
I'm gonna throw a great callback. Have you seen one
more shot the wrestling movie? Yes, John Smith's in there,
and Wayne Boyd crazy Wayne Boyd, Russell's.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
A bear in there and be yeah, but that's Wayne
Boyd for you. Only Wayne Boyd would fin the bear?
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Like how about Louis? How about one hundred? Daniel Cormier's
versus a gorilla?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
I'm getting my ass kicked over and over again.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Bro, you come on, dude, I believe you guys have
no idea.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Like it's like the most ridiculous conversation of all time.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I can't believe we're doing this on our ship.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
What about you just told me in the beginning, I said,
the gorilla can kill a human every fifteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
But it don't even kill you. It just takes twenty
five minutes.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Bro, It just needs to hit you, dude, It hit
Freddy soft. What do you really trying to you?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
You run out of him. He swats This is you know,
that makes him more tired.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Every swat that that connects breaks a rib or something.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Every death, that guy gets up and fight some more.
You remember when you rip pop, when you're getting gut
wrenched and doesn't feel good.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
It hurts so bad because this is life for this
is life or death. This is like you know, I mean,
we have to make it real life or death, like
war where the men are actually fighting the death.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
We have spears or something. Because that gorilla gonna eat
your life. They said, I'm running, I'm choosing life.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
I'm taking out.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Something.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Hey, y'all not you know, not on dudes, man ya,
not on dudes with a chance.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Hey, I don't believe you.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
That's actually crazy, that that's going wrong. I got that
text the other day. You see one hundred UFC fighters
are a gorilla.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
I'm like a gorilla all day.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
We're gassing out.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Hey, do you know which fighter? I was thinking about
that was black that guessed out because I brought Eric Lewis. No,
it was actually I believe it was against Derek Francis,
No Childton Almeida.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Oh he got so don't you remember any like? Wasn't
it Derek the Curtis Blades.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
It was against Curtis Blade. Curtis Blade kept shooting, kept shooting,
and he just exhausted and Curtis knocked him out. But
again we're talking about Cardio ben.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
The fighters have to not get tired either the amount
of energy you're putting out.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
You're not fighting. A hundred people aren't fighting. There's like
now he's standing at back and maybe terror fighting at
a time. I think you actually believe that one hundred
men think a gorilla. I actually do, yes, I think that.
I think you're not.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I think you and others you're your only thinking about
the gorilla in prime form at the beginning of the fight.
But you're not listening that he has to not gas
out for fifteen seconds per human.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
That's that's twenty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Every tooth is like this big bro.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Every tooth is like it's every gotta go catch him
and bite him.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Though every tooth is like this big I can't believe
he actually, you.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Just told me the gorilla could not fight hard for
twenty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
No, he can't, but he ain't. He don't need to.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
How long can he fight hard for ten minutes?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I think the gorilla's done with y'all in ten minutes max.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
That would be That would be like, uh, six seconds
for human being.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Every bullshepary man is done by the gorilla in ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
No, he's killing a human every six seconds. There ain't
no way he's catching him in six seconds.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
The moment you get close, you're done, and then you're
gonna stop. He's not gonna just keep running around chasing you.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
He's That's why people need to keep coming out of
They're literally small. They're smart, smart animals. You know you
come here slapping in the back of the head. Did
you run away?
Speaker 4 (35:06):
No, you're so crazy. By the time you slap his head,
you're done.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
You're so stupid. He can't reach. Here's the way.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
I'm done with this. I am done with this conversation.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Get you guys, vote. Tell tell Daniel I'm right that
Daniel in the comments.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Tell me if Ben is right, because I think it's
so ridiculous and I can't believe we spent eight minutes
on this.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Daniel Cormier's are beating here, Gorilla. I'm betting my house
on that.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Shut up Ben.
Speaker 2 (35:30):

After last weekend in Las Vegas, right back to work
with Funking the Champ. Congrats on another successful weekend last weekend,
my friend.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Thank you. Yeah, it was great. This was our first ever.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
There's not a lot of things we haven't got done
at a w A, but Senior US Open champion was
one of them, so we checked that box. Next thing
we need to check his senior world medalist and we're
hoping to get that done.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
This year or maybe like an Olympian or something. Huh
that might be well, Olympian World team member.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Like I kind of count those as the same.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I mean, you did both, so I think they're the
same because it's like there's obviously every fourth year world what.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
So Ben, wait, you made an Olympic team but not
a world team, and so you're trying to jumble them
all together.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
So wait, so Ben? Were you?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Ben?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
So were you you one of the unfortunate ones of
making the Olympic team but not a world team? Is
that what that is?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, I made it a twenty three. You didn't make
anything before you were twenty three?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yes I did.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
You did not make a senior world team for your
twenty three? Yes I did?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
You were lying you had been made the first one
in two thousand and three.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Three. How old are you? Two thousand and three?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
So I'm forty?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
What your birthday? What year were you born?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
In? Ninety seventy nine? So I was twenty four?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Goda, damn it, got thing?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
You got it?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hold twenty four? You're right, bro, You're right?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
God, bang it out. Twenty four actually because it was
in the summer of two thousand.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
When's your birthday?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Seventy nine?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
But what day? What day?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Twenty March twentieth. Alright, yeah, hey Ben, so.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
God, I hate you really frustrating that you're smart.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Guess what, bro, I think you have someone that.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Is willing to speak about the UFC in the same
way that you do, because you guys are like respectful,
but then you kind of take your shots, then you
give respect, then you take your shot. It's like you
give compliments hidden underneath like a little bit of hate.
That's like game da White.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I recognize these strengths and weaknesses in Dana's character, and
I don't gloss over the weakness parts. But yes, there's
I mean, uh, I mean that's most human beings you meet.
Like there's some things you love about them and respect
about them, and there's some things like, eh, I'm not
so sure about this one, Dana, maybe even to the
extremes on both sides of course.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But yeah, I like this Eddie hernclip.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I actually agree with him on some parts, and I
actually disagree with him on some parts. And you watch
boxing more than me. So he said something like boxing
is killing it. I feel like boxing is dying. I
am not a huge boxing fan, but that's what I
feel like.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So it's kind of all perspective, right, because the money
in boxing is much bigger today than it's ever been.
Those guys weren't making anywhere near what they're making today,
I'm sorry, back then to what they're making today. Obviously
things change, right, Inflation, the economy changes, everything goes different, right,
(05:25):
So maybe the ten million dollars they were making in
nineteen ninety seven equates.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
To what today had been thirty yes, more than there huh.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, right, So essentially it's very relative. But in terms
of numbers, different stars not so much. Guys with the
ability to sell not so much. But I think that's
across all platforms in the UFC. They're not selling pay
per views at the rate that they were before.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
But don't you think that And this is I mean,
this is a little bit to any Hurd's point, but
I kind of think it's by the zee is that
no matter who is fighting, if there is a UFC
thing on, they're gonna have X amount of people tune in.
And you know, ESPN cares about the amount of subscribers
to their ESPN Plus platform, and I think UFC has
been killing it for them.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, the UFC's killed it for ESPN, yes, But I'm
talking pay per view buys. I think that that sentiment
that you just shared, where you said there's a baseline
number of people that will buy every UFC I think
that number today is smaller than it was in the
past because.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I know on good authority that there have been some
pay per.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Views men that you wouldn't believe the numbers now, say
a UFC pay per view selves one hundred thousand buys.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, right, that's really low. Yes, that's what we would think.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
In boxing they do one hundred thousand buys constantly and
it's low.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But because of the structure of how the pay per views.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Are paid out, it's not as bad, whereas the UFC
when it does one hundred thousand, that's really bad. So
he might be saying boxers killing it when the numbers
are pretty comparative, but because of the way that it's
split in the revenue, they feel better about it.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Do you just mean money to the fighters or because
I so, I feel like, you know, how many fighters
on the UFC payroll, like six hundred something.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
No do there's like seven hundred something guys on them.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Okay, do you think?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And so like, if you're at the bottom of the
UFC roster, you're probably making what's the minimum now, fifteen
to fifteen or something?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
No, no, no, no, no, no, it's twelve and twelve.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's it's okay, it's twelve to twelve is a minimum?
You know, are there seven hundred boxers on planet Earth
that are making that type of money?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I bet the answer is not even not even.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Not even half, not even half of boxers make twelve
and twelve. They don't make that now. The bigger guys
make a ton of money. Yes, all right, So just
for for to make a point, right, Eddie Hearn was
on that show this weekend because there's a lot of
people fighting on uh Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
So uh this coming Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
That's the problem.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You don't even know, That's what I'm saying. You don't
even know.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But there's big name fighters Canelos fighting, okay, you Femo
Lopez is fighting, Garcia is fighting, Javonte Davis.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Fe he was on the undercard from me did the
one boxing really.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Hey, Luise, put it in the chat. Who else is fighting?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Because it's Femo, it's Ryan Garcia, it's Canelo, it's Tank.
I think it's Tank Davis. Or if it's not Take,
it's the Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I've heard all those guys.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, you've heard of them, but you didn't know that
they're all fighting in New York City.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Why are they all fighting New York City? Bro?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
It's kind of like beat the streets. It's kind of
like beat the streets.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Really, yes, yes, So they're all fighting on those two days,
and what it is, honestly, like, the matchups aren't great.
The odds to those boxing fights on Best fight odds
dot com. Luise, it'll tell you what the odds are
on those fights. But they're putting on this blockbuster of
an event, and people like you who's in combat sports
(09:11):
don't even know it.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
When Edit hearn goes, it's killing it. When Tyson Fury
fights Francis and Ghanu, it kills it. When Tyson Fury
fights against Alexander Usik, it kills it. Like those fights
kill it. We just don't have as many of those
fights as we used to. Remember, we could get we
could get uh Tyson holy Field. We could get Riddick
(09:35):
Bow versus George Foreman. We could get Michael More versus
Tommy Tommy Morrison. We could get so many great fighters
back in the day.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
All the while Oscar de la Joya is rocking in
Roland Floyd Mayweather's rocking.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And Roland Daniel here. But so are you're naming all
these guys right?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But and this is my understanding boxing, the UFC has
will say, eighty to ninety percent of the high level
talent in mixed Marshall, Yes, is there any company in
boxing that is anywhere near that amount?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Not like it used to be before a lot of
guys went Top rank boxing. They were with Top Rank,
they were with Don King, like you had a few
promoters that had all the guys. Now they're a bit
spread out and with TKO boxing, right, they're going to
be trying to draw in a lot of that talent
themselves like they already have. Callan Walsh, who's been headlining
(10:28):
cards for a long time. But look, Tia Femo is
a minus two twenty five. Ryan Garcia is a minus
nine hundred. Devin Hainey is the other one. He's minus
twelve hundred, So they're kind of mismatches right in these fights.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So they want to.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Get eyes on the sport though. But I listed to
you right now.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Four of the biggest names in this sport of boxing,
and you didn't know. Ryan Garcia is one of the
biggest names, not for the best reasons, because he's out
of his minds at times.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
But he's a part of it.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But when Eddie hern is saying I can't name six
stars in the UFC, that's one of those areas right there, Ben,
where I go. He's very complimentary of Data, saying they
run a great business, they do this, they do this,
But then it's also like there's no there's no uh,
there's no stars there. But I think that in itself, Ben,
(11:21):
if you do believe there aren't any stars there, that
in itself lends to the idea that the UFC itself
is what sells, correct, and it's not the athlete. The
only athlete that ever overcame that truly was Connor McGregor.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So okay, so I would say earlier, oh shit, that
pulled them out in my good Still, yeah, I can
hear you pull off so earlier, earlier in the UFC's career,
the lifespan of the UFC, they were more reliant on those.
You think like Randy Couture had some contract disputes. P
do Ortiz, Chuck Ledell again.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah where And the thing is he was there. You
didn't see him. He was at the tournament.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I think maybe I think dwayne'skid was wrestling.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
It was Rocking, Yeah, Rocking Chuck was there anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So back in then they were they were more reliant
on pay per views. But now there's a UFC card.
I want to say, is it forty two weeks per year,
of which I think ten of those are pay per views?
Thirteen left thirteen okay, thirteen out of the forty two
or pay per views. There is no one putting this
many fights on consistently in boxing, And I was thinking,
like I just looked it up because I actually thought
(12:29):
they were a bankrupt But there was like that PBC
who was trying to l Hayman was trying to buy
a bunch of boy build something. But no one's been
able to build it in boxing. So while I think
Eddie Hearn maybe has a few points there, I just
as a non boxing fan, I just can't get behind
the fact that boxing is huge or as big as
the ever been.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I don't feel that way at all.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
But even with Fox when the UFC let Fox, remember
they put PBC on Fox to almost replace it, and
that didn't last very long.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Right, there's nothing that.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Comes after the UFC and does as well. Because you're right,
the UFC does have a base, a core group of people,
especially free fights. You're clicking through the channel, you're you
got your hand, you're remote, you're quicking.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
You see some.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Fights you might stop and watch. I don't know that
you always do that with boxing. Here's here's one of
those ones that I thought was a bit of a
head scratcher because he's been in this business for a
long time, so he knows and he understands. He goes
he Ko is promoting Canelo versus Crawford. The combined value
of those persons is anywhere between one hundred and twenty
(13:32):
and one hundred and fifty million dollars. If that fight
does one point five million buys or whatever. Does that
mean that when a UFC fight does one point five
million buy they are making one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I think the answer is yes.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Okay, so you think that the answer is just that. Yeah, dude,
Zopa is making, Yes, Zoop is making all the way.
But how many paper you sell that much? Which has
pabe been in history?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That's about to say, Kabieven Conner sold two point four million.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The biggest ever ever.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I will tell you from experience being on the card
with brock Lesner and I.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Still at the fight brock Lesson and that was bullshit.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, because Brock went back to the ww man. He
Brock kind of screwed me a little bit. But listen,
bro brock Lesner, myself a man in Newon as you
have c two hundred one point three million buys, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
One point three million buys.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I know what that equated to me in my pocket
as a person that made pay per viewpoints. But one
hundred million dollars? I mean, what what is it?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Ben?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
One point two million buys at at sixty nine to
ninety nine tell me.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That, well, that's uh a sixty nine million plus we'll
say fourteen.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It was eighty four million dollars.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Personally, right, So and I'm sure, I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I'm sure the pay per view get a little cut
of that or something.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, of course, But still like eighty four million, at
one point three at two hundred thousand, yeah right, you're
almost at one hundred million dollars, So yes, maybe it does.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
But but even that, right, even that.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
In saying that, what is the goal of that to see,
like what's the UFC making appost to what they're paying
the fighter or like what what's the goal in him
saying that? Is he saying that whoever's going to pay
these purses, who I believe is going to be Riot season.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I believe that the.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Turkey sheet Turkey and those guys, yeah, will probably cover that.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
But what's the.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Point in saying that that that there's just more money
to give the fighters?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Like I'm trying to understand.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I think this is one thing that boxing points to
you that say we're better than you because they want
to feel like they're better than them. But then to
the you know, I mean, to the point made earlier
UFC had seven fighters, seven hundred fighters and roster. There's
there's not seven hundred boxers naming a decent living in
the whole world. And so while the very very top
people may make more, the very body people make a
(16:05):
lot less.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
They do I mean, Canel probably makes forty million dollars.
Him and Terrence Crawford must be making some big time
money from the state of those persons are one twenty five.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, I do think the UFC fighters are making kind
of more than ever.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I would be shocked or not shocked.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I would be curious to see how many fighters and
we would include fight perse plus UFC sponsorship, so we'll
exclude other sponsorships. They may get made more than say
a quarter million dollars last year.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I bet the.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Numbers like really really yeah, but there's a couple of
hydrid and boxing is probably like way low.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I know what I made to fight Derek Lewis, and
when it came out, and I don't know who told them,
everybody was so surprised. But now I know probably I
know of maybe ten to fifteen guys that are making that.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It was astounding.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
How many guys are making that numbers great now, it's
that was only seven years ago, in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And how I want to can I can? I can
I ask you a question?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
No, wait, we're almost done.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
What is your problem?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
So excited but I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
You're gonna have great opinions. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Okay, I'll take it all right, I'll give it to you.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Wait wait, so wait, what's the verdict on the Eddie
hern thing hate are respectful of the UFC?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Okay, verdict is he has some good points and he
has some points that are kind of stupid. Yes, the
UFC has has put at a premium the building of
the UFC brand so that there's a baseline of fans
who turn it tune into the UFC no matter who's fighting.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
They might not know who's.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Fighting by Saturday, they're turning tuning in to watch it
on ESPN Plus or or wherever it's streaming. I think
there's there's positive and negative that The positive would be
there's more fighters earning a living in MMA than there
is in boxing by a long margin. Then negative is
there are not as many stars earning the wages that
they are in boxing.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
So plus yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that he respects
the UFC. I also think that the UFC, if they
do take anything from his words, you.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Gotta kind of listen to a guy who's been promoting
fights for thirty years. He knows the game, right, he
has to know something about boxing to have made it
as long as he has made it. For as horrible
as people make don King out to be. Don King
was with Muhammad Ali, right, don King was with all
those guys all the way through Mike Tyson, so he
clearly understood the game.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
So if the UFC takes anything from Eddie Hearn, I
would listen to some of his advice because he has
been in the game for a really long time, and
and it's a new venture for the UFC, but those
guys are smart and they're gonna employ the right people
to guide them down the right path to the boy.
What a way to kick off tk O boxing. If
(18:57):
you're promoting Crawford versus Canelo, that's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Man, I kind of I'm sorry before we get the
girl thing. That's what I'm so excited about.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Okay, I asked you, I thought Crawford's like a one
forty five, and I thought.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Canelo is like a one to seventy.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, but it doesn't matter. Crawford's a one forty seven.
He's smaller when he was younger, but now he's going up. Dude,
how do you not go up and fight a guy
that fights it well? Canelo was a one fifty four
pounder originally. Every time he goes up, it's just bulking
and just he looks big. I don't know what the
catchway is, but anywhere like in the one sixtiest range,
(19:30):
I'm pretty sure Budd is gonna be willing to fight him. Dude,
It's like sixty million dollars. Could you imagine if he
makes sixty million dollars and he still lives in Omaha, Nebraska.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
He probably has the biggest house. He's probably a bigger
house than one buffet.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
He's kinadly got the biggest house in the world. Thug. Hey,
his boys are really good wrestlers too.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yes, they won everything, man, they won like all those
roller tournaments, they won them.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
All those dudes just studs.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
His youngest boy at WrestleMania, He's like, I know you,
you're the wrestler.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
And he was like sitting next to me right in
the whole time.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
He's walking with this belt, bro, and every time he
goes in front of me, he just kind of eyes me.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
He walks back, maybe nine years old, ten years old.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Every time he walks back, he's like, I was like,
all right, but you go ahead, get to rilla.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
All right, what is going lie? You know what?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
There's this thing online one hundred men versus a gorilla,
and Louis brought it up as a possible talk and
I thought, hey, we have fun with this, and I
made one post about it, and I thought I would.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Did you get engaged?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Was it engaged?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
It was engaged very well.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But my post was how many people is the gorilla
gonna kill before it gases out? Because no one's talking
about that. They're about how strong it isn't how powers
every strong man?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
And listen, I was out, You're gonna you're gonnae stop.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Stop before you continue.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
It's storytime. It's storytime. Before you make your point, I
have to share this with you.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Ok, all right, this is the best. So I have
this friend name Freddy. He works for EA Sports. He's
the producer. He oversees all of the voice work.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
That John Anak and I do.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
He had this great idea that him and his wife
or his fiance, I'm not sure, are gonna go on
an African safari and then they're gonna go into the
mountains to see mountain gorillas.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Right, see what this is going.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
This is great, This is a great story. They go
on this safari, he tells me, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
He said.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
The smells are ridiculous though, like dead animals, people eating.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
He had a video of.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Lions hunting eight things and then he killed them and
I watched the video and he goes, bro, those there
SUVs are right next to the kill.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
So he could smell all that disgusting shit.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But after they're done with the safari, they go up
to the mountain. He said, they're like certain hikes. You
can go higher, you can lower based on your fitness.
They went higher.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
They said, there are rules when it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Comes to these gorillas. You cannot deceive, you cannot appear big.
You have to put yourself small, and you have to
make sure you're quiet. They go up and like how close.
They're like, just please listen, please listen. So Freddie and
his girlfriend or wife, I'm not exactly sure what they are.
I think it's his wife or with a group of
(24:14):
people that they go. There's group of people they know
from family. They have a twenty one year old kid
that is with them. Twenty one year old boys are
full of testosterone. They like to mess around, right, they
like to mess around.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So they go up.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
There's this whole family. Girls, they're in the brush with them.
Ben they're like literally like right next to them.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But then they see the silver back, the big one.
What's it called the male, the alpha?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
The alpha?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yes, they tell them, if you see him, make sure
head and appear small and.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
You don't look him in the eye. Probably don't look
at him.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
You do not look at him.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
So Freddie is standing in front of a rock, a
big like a boulder, like a rock. Okay, the Sylla backers,
they're eating things. The kid, though, is behind Freddy on
the rock. He's standing on the rock bend. So not
only is he not cowering down, Ben, not only is
(25:19):
he not cowering down, he is laying He's like as
as big as he could ever imagine. Freddy said, all
of a sudden, the thing looked at the kid right
bloom ran. So Freddy goes, oh my god, and he
turned his head down like he turned oh my god,
like scared.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
He said.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Next thing he knew. He woke up under the bush.
It ran towards and slapped him on his back bend.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
He just slapped in.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
The gorilla slapped him. Bin exactly. I don't, I don't,
I said, wait, he hit you.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
He goes, it actually hit me. He said that because
the kid was up. The kid then jumps down.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Then should have.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Got the kid because when he started running, the kid
went down so kind of so he was in front
of the kid.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
He said, it hit him that gorilla humans look alone.
It hit him in his back. He said.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
He he kind of was under the brush with half
of his body in under a tree. Yeah, fifteen to
twenty yards away or fifteen twenty feet away from where
he was.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
He said.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
He looked back because he goes, I had the most
loudest and weirdest scream I've ever made my life. He goes,
I was fearful he was gonna come and kill me.
He goes, I look back, he goes, He's literally just
sitting on eating again. No words in the world. He
was just hanging out, he said. He in that moment
he realized like his rip felt like it was broken.
He said, that thing I hit him at about five
(26:49):
percent five percentrill. He said, it went super small. He
said it hit him barely bam, he said, he can tell.
He goes, it was like he was just like swatted
a fly away, like we go get out of here.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
He said.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
It was like it swatted a fly and it threw.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Him ten yards away. Under retreat Before you make your point,
that man weighs one hundred and seventy pounds, one hundred
and seventy pounds, and it slopped him once and he flew.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
He flew into the brush.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I told people with guns there to protect your man, Freddy.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I told Freddy, I said, Freddy, Freddy's an Asian guy.
I go, brother, I'll be doing that white person stuff.
I said that for you. They always see those hey,
you always heed those people. They're in there with those gorillas,
and they're like, oh my god, oh my god, oh
my god, I'm god. Why put yourself in that position? So,
now that I've told you that story.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Okay, make your point, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So I was thinking, my point on the one thing
I said on Twitter is how many humans would the
gorilla killed before the gorilla guessed out? Because everyone's neglecting
Cardio here, because Cardio is a thing. So then I
was thinking, I actually thought of a black fighter who
gassed out. But I said him because people might say
I'm comparing a black man to a gorilla, which I'm not.
So you know who I thought of, And I actually
saw him last weekend. I don't know if you saw
(28:07):
this fight, but I have never seen a human being
so tired. I saw Kellen Flukeinger from Arizo State this weekend.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Okay, I kind of put myself in harm's way here.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
He's a fighter, now, no, he was I mean Kelln
Fuckinger is graduated two thousand and five, maybe a couple
of years before me. Okay, yeah, So anyways, he was
standing in front of people. Say hey, Kellen, is then
where you could sit down? Because he is like he's
a ginormous human, I mean, super tall, big gas shoulders,
like this is a big, large man.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
And he fought in bo dog and I don't remember why,
but they fought on the beach. Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
He would take this guy down and he was so
tiredy he'd lay on him and they say, okay, you're
standing up. He would have to use the ropes to
get up. No, yes, he will, you go on, And
then he did take the guy down again and he
was like climbing up the ropes. I've never seen a
human being this tired, but as we know, even dangerous
human beings who have trained for this get tired.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
So it's like, okay, I was just doing the math.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
If the gorilla can kill a human in say fifteen seconds,
well one hundred humans, that's fifteen hundred seconds. Okay, that's
like twenty five minutes. Can the gorilla really fight hard
for twenty five minutes? And I think the answer is hell, no,
that gorilla can't.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Fight for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
He can't fight in twenty five But no way, Ben,
every time they're running at him, he's just bang, bang bang.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
One hundred men have no chance. I would have just
told you it can't fight for twenty five minutes. It
will not take twenty five minutes, because fifteen seconds, that's
fifteen seconds the person. Oh when you all run.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
First off, you're all gonna jump on him, and he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Go rah like prove, and you're all gonna fly.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Ah, he's gonna literally go broom and he's gonna like
open his arms because you're all on him.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
First off, he's.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Biting, he's scratching, fight and he's slapping the shit out
of you. And every time he hits you, boom you fly.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Okay, hey hold wait, let me can't post one thing
I thought I was sinking. Okay, if I had hundre people,
what would be the strategy? What if you just like
run at him like fake and then run away and
then someone else runs you know, so he's always like moving.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
You know he's going to charge.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
He's going to charge your.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Amazing, So then you run. Everyone just abades him. But
you kind of like antagonize, you know, like Daniel. I
know at some point and you're wrestling academy, you've been
saying some mean ship to them little kids, and they're like,
let's get Daniel.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
And they all try to attack you. Every once a while.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
These little kids do it to like Kellen Wilburd or
one of the high schoolkids that's teaching.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
It only takes about four of them to get them.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
They never get Kellen Warlburt. You're alive.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah, there was like little kids get killing Wolburt.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
They're like one hundred found kids.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Eighty seventy eighty, I don't know somewhere in there, but.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah, but yes, the gorilla. The gorilla literally is just
slapping at you. I'm telling you, every time you get close,
it hits.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
You about not not weak human beings. I don't know
if you're not okay?
Speaker 4 (30:58):
What if?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
What if I get ten trained fighters and then we'll
say ninety just solid strong men.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
And there's some real problems with that, bro.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
There's some psychological issues with the ninety strong men because
they have this belief that they're supposed to have a chance.
No man, it makes it worse if you don't have
enough respect for what you're against. It's gonna be worse.
I watched Kabib Russell a bear. Bro, I watched Kabiba
as a little boy Russell a bear and the bear
was getting him.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
It was a baby bear, a bear I saw. I said,
he could be pinned that bear.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Yes, but it's a hard match. It's a hard match.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
If that bear is full grown, you have no chance. Bro,
we have no watch.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I know you saw this, Daniel, I know this is
I'm gonna throw a great callback. Have you seen one
more shot the wrestling movie? Yes, John Smith's in there,
and Wayne Boyd crazy Wayne Boyd, Russell's.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
A bear in there and be yeah, but that's Wayne
Boyd for you. Only Wayne Boyd would fin the bear?
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Like how about Louis? How about one hundred? Daniel Cormier's
versus a gorilla?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
I'm getting my ass kicked over and over again.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Bro, you come on, dude, I believe you guys have
no idea.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Like it's like the most ridiculous conversation of all time.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I can't believe we're doing this on our ship.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
What about you just told me in the beginning, I said,
the gorilla can kill a human every fifteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
But it don't even kill you. It just takes twenty
five minutes.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Bro, It just needs to hit you, dude, It hit
Freddy soft. What do you really trying to you?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
You run out of him. He swats This is you know,
that makes him more tired.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Every swat that that connects breaks a rib or something.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Every death, that guy gets up and fight some more.
You remember when you rip pop, when you're getting gut
wrenched and doesn't feel good.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
It hurts so bad because this is life for this
is life or death. This is like you know, I mean,
we have to make it real life or death, like
war where the men are actually fighting the death.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
We have spears or something. Because that gorilla gonna eat
your life. They said, I'm running, I'm choosing life.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
I'm taking out.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Something.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Hey, y'all not you know, not on dudes, man ya,
not on dudes with a chance.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Hey, I don't believe you.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
That's actually crazy, that that's going wrong. I got that
text the other day. You see one hundred UFC fighters
are a gorilla.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
I'm like a gorilla all day.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
We're gassing out.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Hey, do you know which fighter? I was thinking about
that was black that guessed out because I brought Eric Lewis. No,
it was actually I believe it was against Derek Francis,
No Childton Almeida.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Oh he got so don't you remember any like? Wasn't
it Derek the Curtis Blades.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
It was against Curtis Blade. Curtis Blade kept shooting, kept shooting,
and he just exhausted and Curtis knocked him out. But
again we're talking about Cardio ben.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
The fighters have to not get tired either the amount
of energy you're putting out.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
You're not fighting. A hundred people aren't fighting. There's like
now he's standing at back and maybe terror fighting at
a time. I think you actually believe that one hundred
men think a gorilla. I actually do, yes, I think that.
I think you're not.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I think you and others you're your only thinking about
the gorilla in prime form at the beginning of the fight.
But you're not listening that he has to not gas
out for fifteen seconds per human.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
That's that's twenty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Every tooth is like this big bro.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Every tooth is like it's every gotta go catch him
and bite him.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Though every tooth is like this big I can't believe
he actually, you.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Just told me the gorilla could not fight hard for
twenty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
No, he can't, but he ain't. He don't need to.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
How long can he fight hard for ten minutes?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I think the gorilla's done with y'all in ten minutes max.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
That would be That would be like, uh, six seconds
for human being.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Every bullshepary man is done by the gorilla in ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
No, he's killing a human every six seconds. There ain't
no way he's catching him in six seconds.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
The moment you get close, you're done, and then you're
gonna stop. He's not gonna just keep running around chasing you.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
He's That's why people need to keep coming out of
They're literally small. They're smart, smart animals. You know you
come here slapping in the back of the head. Did
you run away?
Speaker 4 (35:06):
No, you're so crazy. By the time you slap his head,
you're done.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
You're so stupid. He can't reach. Here's the way.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
I'm done with this. I am done with this conversation.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Get you guys, vote. Tell tell Daniel I'm right that
Daniel in the comments.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Tell me if Ben is right, because I think it's
so ridiculous and I can't believe we spent eight minutes
on this.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Daniel Cormier's are beating here, Gorilla. I'm betting my house
on that.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Shut up Ben.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
All right, guys, that was another episode of Funking the Champ.
Thank you The Total Wireless for always back in the channel.
Thank you Ben for joining. I appreciate you. Until next time,
guys that's been asking. I'm Daniel Cormier. We'll catch you
on the next one piece
