Listen.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I've worked for a very long time with you guys
on building this channel and becoming just better and better
year by year and really growing in the combat sports scene,
really trying to hone my craft, whether it was here
on this channel or live on commentary, play by play,
everything I've.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Tried to do.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's it's to be better in this scene and to
evolve to change. Okay, and today is a massive part
of that change.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Canelo sound effect there. It's not a meme coin and
something like that. I do want to see what you
guys think, like what can can people give me an
idea as to what they think it is legitimately before
we announce here, someone said Pleming's America.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Cool?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Uh shoulder implants, shoulders of a tadpole.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Someone just said neck. Don't know what that means. Anyway.
You guys are are in the right ballpark, all right.
But sometimes me telling you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Live is just not as good as me going through
the entire story of what this channel is. And I
had my guy Leo, as you guys know, by the way,
thank you for all the donos. I had my guy
Leo put something together for you guys, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I'm nervous. I'm sorry, y'all. I don't get nervous. A
lot really is. Right now, I present to you the
next evolution of the wave concept. It has been.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
From legitimately Sleeping Channel, and I can't really.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Begin to tell you how much it's meant to me
over these last.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Eight years, now that you guys have given me the
opportunity to continue to grow and build as a content
creator to places I never thought imagine. From legitimately sleeping
on the floor in Orlando, Florida. When this channel started
with not maybe more than a thousand dollars to my name,
just covering combat sports because I've fallen in love with
(04:43):
to commentating fight cards in my room in front of
two people, and one was me on a separate computer
and the other was my own mother, just supporting the
channel because she saw her son had a dream, and
like she always has, she just wanted to.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Support to building this community.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
That why, Frankly, I don't have the words to tell
you how much I appreciate what you guys have done
for me and the opportunities I've gotten because of you.
We went from those same fight cards that I was
calling in my room the calling fights in a play
by play chair my first time ever in front of
ten thousand people in Tampa, Florida. From that moment on,
I knew things would never be the same for me
(05:22):
or the Wade concept, and that again was because of
you guys.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Everything changed for the better.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I started to become a better content creator, I started
to become a better play by play broadcaster. I started
to engulf myself in the combat sports scene, and we
started to build and that's the channel, that's my ability
that's my opportunity not to mention relationship with other content creators,
with fighters, with managers, with a brother. We went from
(05:48):
that small bedroom sleeping on the floor in Florida, so
eventually getting to buy my own studio space and eventually
my own all the while doing exactly what I love
covering I'm bad sports Fighters event and just really doing
what this channel was always meant to because the way
concept always.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Meant that we are debating everything.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
It's never been more true than with the decision I've
just made because, like I told you guys in the
beginning of this video, I've always just wanted to do
cool shit and that's always come with change, and today
it's time for the biggest change that I've ever made.
The weight concept for me and the way I cover
combat sports, nothing will ever be the same.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
We mean, if you're ride with me Yuga Slide, we mean,
if you feel like five fifty on the five stick,
you canna get hide. We mean, that's a deal, right riw.
We mean if you're ride.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
With Slide, ladies and gentlemen. It is now time to
officially announce that the Weade concept will be presented in
partnership with the Ring. This has been a long time coming,
and I'm so excited to tell you guys, we will
(07:08):
have all of the amazing assets and amenities that the
Ring is gonna provide to this channel, and we're gonna
be covering all the big events coming up. So a
big thank you to everyone over at the Ring for
allowing me to become a part of the team to
have the access that I'm going to have, and we're
(07:28):
gonna talk about that in a second. I'm also working
with the Volume Sports Media company here in the United States.
They have people like Shannon Sharp, Calling Cowherd, Draymond Green,
the list goes on.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I will be a part of all of those things,
and including.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
The stuff that I'm already doing, the stuff that this
channel has been great doing for a very long time.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
So we're changing, but at the same time, we are
staying the same.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And I want to make sure you guys understand how
much of a big deal this was for me.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
We worked tirelessly.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
On this for months and months and months, and all
this is is an opportunity to cover combat sports in
a way I never have to have the access to
some of the biggest fights of the year, including let's
just go through the list of what's coming up.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
We have where's my camera, Where's where's my camera?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
At here we have Chris Ubank Junior and Connor Band
coming up on April twenty sixth.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I'm covering that fight.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And by the way, part of this coverage that I'll
be doing will be with other content creators that.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You guys enjoy show Biz, the adult true.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Jordy people that are coming onto the channel, and we'll
be you know, going onto each other's channels, collaborating in
ways to make sure the sport of boxing, and especially
these massive events on the ring are going to be
highlighted to the degree they deserve. Boxing is hot right
now and we want to make sure we do that
for you guys.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
So Eddie, thank you for the twenty memberships.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I appreciate that I will be covering these events not
only from the comforts of my home. I will be
covering some of these events at location. That means interviews
with fighters. That means being able to be around during
fight week and get exclusive access for you guys to
see some of your favorite fighters right here on the
way concept. Also on this card on April twenty sixth,
(09:34):
we have chev Clark and Vidal Riley and who do
you guys think has been the brother to another mother
from Vadal Riley, that's me. We're gonna talk to him
as well coming up to this fight. I can't wait
for that. So Vidal is going to be fighting, by
the way, in Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. You guys know, he's
(09:54):
such a massive fan of Tottenham, so that's a big
deal for him. We're gonna get him on the channel
to talk more about it. But that's not just that.
We have the fatal Fury in Times Square, the three
fight Mega car Garcia, Romero, Hani vers Ramirez and Lopez Barboza.
That one's going down on May second, that's a Friday,
by the way in NYC. And Saturday next day Canelo
(10:16):
Alvarez Versus Williams School for the wb excuse me, WBC
World Super Middleweight Championship. So this is going to be
a stacked less than a month, literally thirty days. We
have to get so many big time events and so
many big time fights covered here for you guys. So
(10:36):
I cannot wait to give you all of that coverage.
And yes, we're still gonna be covering the UFC yes,
we're still gonna be covering other things that I like
to cover on this channel, but the partnership with the
Ring is going to allow me to give you guys
more coverage, more access, more in depth access and coverage.
So again, thank you to his excellency, Thank you to
(10:57):
everybody that's allowed me to do this. I've always told
you guys, I just want to do cool stuff. I
always have and I always want to and this is
just another way for me to do it. So I
hope this is something that you guys. I mean, it's
not even a hope. I know you guys are gonna
enjoy this. Imagine interviews with guys like Ryan Garcia on
this channel. Imagine people coming onto this channel like we've
(11:20):
already had him on, but Canelo Alvarez making his return.
I've got some things I would love to do with Canelo.
He's a big golfer, so am I let's go play
nine holes and talk boxing the whole way.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I think it would be insane. I think it'd be awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
So this doesn't change anything about my channel other than
you're gonna get.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Stuff like this.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You're gonna get cool logos that I can put onto
the channel as well. Like that, There's gonna be great
things that come from this, and again it's just more
about access. It's more about being able to do more
for you guys. I felt this last year. I've always
just wanted to do more, and since my fight, I've
(12:00):
been looking at what can I do to get more
out of this channel, to get more out of my
ability to cover boxing, and quite frankly, to get better
at what I do to get better at this. I
really really really want to get better, and this is
my way of trying to do that.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
So again, I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Super pumped to tell you guys, I can't believe I've
got this opportunity. More details will come as far as
what events I'll be going to I'll be covering from here,
watch party stuff that we're going to do, hopefully live
at the fight weeks at the venue, stuff that again
I've done before. But you guys are gonna see with
(12:42):
all types of crazy new access and ability to do it.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
So who this was something I've been waiting to tell
you guys for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
The ring concept, It's been something I've been waiting for
a very long time to tell you guys. So yes,
I'm still gonna cover you know, bits and pieces of
the influencer scene for sure. Like I said, I'm still
gonna cover MMA, and you know, there's a transitionary period
going on with t KO Boxing or whatever the name
will be coming into the scene now.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I'm gonna cover that as well.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I just want to cover all the cool aspects of
combat sports, but mainly these massive events that are going
on on the ring. I just felt there's no better
way to insert myself into this scene and to really
give it the push that it deserves on my channel.
It's getting pushed from everywhere and they're doing a great
job with it. But whatever help I can give, I
(13:34):
want to do.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
So thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Guys for allowing me to do this, because you guys
are the ones that have helped me build this channel
and build this opportunity. Obviously, thank you to the Ring,
and I'm excited to get started. We're gonna hit the
ground running this week tomorrow. Not tomorrow, but sometime this week.
I'm gonna have true Jordian and we're gonna talk about
all these different fights. We're gonna start building toward the
(13:59):
April twenty sixth fight and Fight Week coverage is gonna
be insane in its own right, whether it's for the
Tottenham Hospital card or May second or May third, or
we didn't even talk about, you know, the looming fights
that can potentially happen after that. Let's say, you know,
Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia get their win, they're gonna fight,
Canelo gets his win, Terrence Crawford is waiting in the
(14:21):
wings that fight in Vegas. So there's so many things
I just I'm so excited for. So yeah, there's no retirement.
There's nothing changing on the channel outside of more access,
more videos, more content, and just again growing in this
scene to give you guys what you deserve. And that's
(14:44):
the best of me trying to make the boxing scene
even better.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
So yeah, there it is. That's it.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Like I said, it's been it's been a very very
fun stressful. But now we're at the point where I
can I can finally talk about it.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Do we have I want to see? Do we have
any questions? I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
This is in no way clickbait, by the way, because
this will be a partnership that goes on for at
least the next year. We're gonna be in the weeds
with this, It's gonna be every single thing every week
bringing you guys new content.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Thought you renounce him a.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Fight with KSI, I don't think that'll be happening at
any any point soon. Yes, Adie Ladipo will absolutely be
making some appearances on the channel, some of the content
creators that I hadn't worked with him forever that you
guys wanted me to work with again, I'm gonna be
able to do that now.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So I'm very very excited.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yes, Boots and stanionis as well. That's another massive event
we're gonna be covering. Well this effect the Breakdown absolutely
not myself and Sense will still be covering all the
stuff we want to cover over on the Breakdown as well.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
But this is.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Again think of it as a rocket ship that I
put onto my back, fueled up and snapped the harness
on to take us to the next level.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
That's where I Why did someone say getting a hair transplant? Now?
Don't know what that is? Don't know what that is, dude,
So yeah, no, there's I don't think there's any tears
going on. What are we talking about?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Uh? But yeah, like I said, I wanted to also
again give mention to the people that also helped this make,
you know, become possible, and those are the people over
at the volume.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Super excited to work with them as well. They've helped,
you know, make the connection between myself and the ring,
and we are going to now work in collaboration with
those companies and who knows where that partnership goes as well.
You guys know that I love covering all different types
of sports. We're gonna lock in on boxing, We're gonna
lock in on combat sports. We're gonna push it as
(17:03):
as hot as it is right now, is as big
as boxing is becoming, not just across the world, but
here in America in a market that severely needs boxing
to be great in my opinion. Again, Uh, we're gonna
continue doing that. But I'm I'm I can't tell you
guys how much this means to me. And uh again,
(17:24):
I keep smiling because this is gonna be This is
gonna be great. You guys will see this is not
just blowing smoke.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
This is actions. Very eminently. Things are going to ramp
up very quickly.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
A lot of details that that again we'll get into
as we move further along, but just expect more high
level boxing content. I will travel a lot, yes, depending
on you know when and where and how it lines
up for everybody. Uh listen, I am. I am essentially
(17:59):
saying yes to a lot right now. I'm saying yes
to access, I'm saying yes to coverage. I'm saying yes
to challenging myself. This is part of why I've done this,
because the longer you stay still, the more stagnant you become.
And I was feeling a little stagnant and I wanted
(18:20):
to do more and this is that more so the
way concept presented by the ring. This is again has
nothing to do with me covering specific things or me
not covering other stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I will still cover whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I want to cover on this channel, but I will also,
with a massive, massive hand and helping hand from the ring,
be able to give you, guys, more from the sport
of boxing that you love.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Click.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Thank you for the twenty baby, I appreciate it. I
appreciate that. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
But yes, it is a journey that starts today.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It will be at least a year long that we
will be entering into this partnership. And like I said,
I just I have no idea where it goes, but
I'm excited to see it.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I'm excited to see where I think it's.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I think it's just gonna do insane things for this channel,
for boxing, for all of it. I think it's really
gonna be a big time deal, A big move, big
big move. So what was the gay chee clip? Okay,
we can't talk about that yet. All right, There's still
some other things that are potentially coming down the line.
I can't say too much about a lot of stuff
(19:38):
until it's final. That's why I couldn't talk about this either. Hey, yo,
I appreciate, by the way, I appreciate all the donos man,
congrats on the big move. Thank you so much, everybody
that donated. Thank you all the memberships click I saw
the twenty Thank you so much. Yes, yes, I can't
speak on the gay chee clip until we do more.
(20:00):
I can't speak on that until we do more.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But there it is, y'all. That's it, and that's all.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Like I said, thank you all for joining a massive
move for my career, the biggest move I think my
career has ever had.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
And we'll see what happens next.
Speaker 2 (20:16):

with it. So thank you all for making this journey possible.

the moon with this. I truly believe that, and I
hope you guys do too. That is our announcement. Stay
tuned for videos coming up in the next couple of days.
(20:37):
Like I said, we're gonna have some guests on the channel.
We're gonna really build toward Christian Bank Junior and counter
Binn's fight coming up, obviously, the May second fight, the
May third fight, Boots fight after that, all types of
good stuff coming up in the sport of boxing. Someone said,
man's got a sponsor, but not a barber.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Thanks for that. But yeah, that's it, and that's all folks.
I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We are going to wrap up here and you guys
will get more details as we keep going through this,
but just expect some of your favorite fighters here on
the Wade concept, some of your favorite events me at
those on the Wade concept. It's something I've never been
able to do, but is going to change the entire game. So,

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Eight years, now that you guys have given me the
opportunity to continue to grow and build as a content
creator to places I never thought imagine. From legitimately sleeping
on the floor in Orlando, Florida. When this channel started
with not maybe more than a thousand dollars to my name,
just covering combat sports because I've fallen in love with
(04:43):
to commentating fight cards in my room in front of
two people, and one was me on a separate computer
and the other was my own mother, just supporting the
channel because she saw her son had a dream, and
like she always has, she just wanted to.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Support to building this community.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
That why, Frankly, I don't have the words to tell
you how much I appreciate what you guys have done
for me and the opportunities I've gotten because of you.
We went from those same fight cards that I was
calling in my room the calling fights in a play
by play chair my first time ever in front of
ten thousand people in Tampa, Florida. From that moment on,
I knew things would never be the same for me
(05:22):
or the Wade concept, and that again was because of
you guys.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Everything changed for the better.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I started to become a better content creator, I started
to become a better play by play broadcaster. I started
to engulf myself in the combat sports scene, and we
started to build and that's the channel, that's my ability
that's my opportunity not to mention relationship with other content creators,
with fighters, with managers, with a brother. We went from
(05:48):
that small bedroom sleeping on the floor in Florida, so
eventually getting to buy my own studio space and eventually
my own all the while doing exactly what I love
covering I'm bad sports Fighters event and just really doing
what this channel was always meant to because the way
concept always.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Meant that we are debating everything.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
It's never been more true than with the decision I've
just made because, like I told you guys in the
beginning of this video, I've always just wanted to do
cool shit and that's always come with change, and today
it's time for the biggest change that I've ever made.
The weight concept for me and the way I cover
combat sports, nothing will ever be the same.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
We mean, if you're ride with me Yuga Slide, we mean,
if you feel like five fifty on the five stick,
you canna get hide. We mean, that's a deal, right riw.
We mean if you're ride.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
With Slide, ladies and gentlemen. It is now time to
officially announce that the Weade concept will be presented in
partnership with the Ring. This has been a long time coming,
and I'm so excited to tell you guys, we will
(07:08):
have all of the amazing assets and amenities that the
Ring is gonna provide to this channel, and we're gonna
be covering all the big events coming up. So a
big thank you to everyone over at the Ring for
allowing me to become a part of the team to
have the access that I'm going to have, and we're
(07:28):
gonna talk about that in a second. I'm also working
with the Volume Sports Media company here in the United States.
They have people like Shannon Sharp, Calling Cowherd, Draymond Green,
the list goes on.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I will be a part of all of those things,
and including.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
The stuff that I'm already doing, the stuff that this
channel has been great doing for a very long time.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
So we're changing, but at the same time, we are
staying the same.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And I want to make sure you guys understand how
much of a big deal this was for me.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
We worked tirelessly.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
On this for months and months and months, and all
this is is an opportunity to cover combat sports in
a way I never have to have the access to
some of the biggest fights of the year, including let's
just go through the list of what's coming up.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
We have where's my camera, Where's where's my camera?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
At here we have Chris Ubank Junior and Connor Band
coming up on April twenty sixth.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I'm covering that fight.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And by the way, part of this coverage that I'll
be doing will be with other content creators that.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You guys enjoy show Biz, the adult true.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Jordy people that are coming onto the channel, and we'll
be you know, going onto each other's channels, collaborating in
ways to make sure the sport of boxing, and especially
these massive events on the ring are going to be
highlighted to the degree they deserve. Boxing is hot right
now and we want to make sure we do that
for you guys.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
So Eddie, thank you for the twenty memberships.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I appreciate that I will be covering these events not
only from the comforts of my home. I will be
covering some of these events at location. That means interviews
with fighters. That means being able to be around during
fight week and get exclusive access for you guys to
see some of your favorite fighters right here on the
way concept. Also on this card on April twenty sixth,
(09:34):
we have chev Clark and Vidal Riley and who do
you guys think has been the brother to another mother
from Vadal Riley, that's me. We're gonna talk to him
as well coming up to this fight. I can't wait
for that. So Vidal is going to be fighting, by
the way, in Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. You guys know, he's
(09:54):
such a massive fan of Tottenham, so that's a big
deal for him. We're gonna get him on the channel
to talk more about it. But that's not just that.
We have the fatal Fury in Times Square, the three
fight Mega car Garcia, Romero, Hani vers Ramirez and Lopez Barboza.
That one's going down on May second, that's a Friday,
by the way in NYC. And Saturday next day Canelo
(10:16):
Alvarez Versus Williams School for the wb excuse me, WBC
World Super Middleweight Championship. So this is going to be
a stacked less than a month, literally thirty days. We
have to get so many big time events and so
many big time fights covered here for you guys. So
(10:36):
I cannot wait to give you all of that coverage.
And yes, we're still gonna be covering the UFC yes,
we're still gonna be covering other things that I like
to cover on this channel, but the partnership with the
Ring is going to allow me to give you guys
more coverage, more access, more in depth access and coverage.
So again, thank you to his excellency, Thank you to
(10:57):
everybody that's allowed me to do this. I've always told
you guys, I just want to do cool stuff. I
always have and I always want to and this is
just another way for me to do it. So I
hope this is something that you guys. I mean, it's
not even a hope. I know you guys are gonna
enjoy this. Imagine interviews with guys like Ryan Garcia on
this channel. Imagine people coming onto this channel like we've
(11:20):
already had him on, but Canelo Alvarez making his return.
I've got some things I would love to do with Canelo.
He's a big golfer, so am I let's go play
nine holes and talk boxing the whole way.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I think it would be insane. I think it'd be awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
So this doesn't change anything about my channel other than
you're gonna get.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Stuff like this.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You're gonna get cool logos that I can put onto
the channel as well. Like that, There's gonna be great
things that come from this, and again it's just more
about access. It's more about being able to do more
for you guys. I felt this last year. I've always
just wanted to do more, and since my fight, I've
(12:00):
been looking at what can I do to get more
out of this channel, to get more out of my
ability to cover boxing, and quite frankly, to get better
at what I do to get better at this. I
really really really want to get better, and this is
my way of trying to do that.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
So again, I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Super pumped to tell you guys, I can't believe I've
got this opportunity. More details will come as far as
what events I'll be going to I'll be covering from here,
watch party stuff that we're going to do, hopefully live
at the fight weeks at the venue, stuff that again
I've done before. But you guys are gonna see with
(12:42):
all types of crazy new access and ability to do it.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
So who this was something I've been waiting to tell
you guys for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
The ring concept, It's been something I've been waiting for
a very long time to tell you guys. So yes,
I'm still gonna cover you know, bits and pieces of
the influencer scene for sure. Like I said, I'm still
gonna cover MMA, and you know, there's a transitionary period
going on with t KO Boxing or whatever the name
will be coming into the scene now.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I'm gonna cover that as well.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I just want to cover all the cool aspects of
combat sports, but mainly these massive events that are going
on on the ring. I just felt there's no better
way to insert myself into this scene and to really
give it the push that it deserves on my channel.
It's getting pushed from everywhere and they're doing a great
job with it. But whatever help I can give, I
(13:34):
want to do.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
So thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Guys for allowing me to do this, because you guys
are the ones that have helped me build this channel
and build this opportunity. Obviously, thank you to the Ring,
and I'm excited to get started. We're gonna hit the
ground running this week tomorrow. Not tomorrow, but sometime this week.
I'm gonna have true Jordian and we're gonna talk about
all these different fights. We're gonna start building toward the
(13:59):
April twenty sixth fight and Fight Week coverage is gonna
be insane in its own right, whether it's for the
Tottenham Hospital card or May second or May third, or
we didn't even talk about, you know, the looming fights
that can potentially happen after that. Let's say, you know,
Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia get their win, they're gonna fight,
Canelo gets his win, Terrence Crawford is waiting in the
(14:21):
wings that fight in Vegas. So there's so many things
I just I'm so excited for. So yeah, there's no retirement.
There's nothing changing on the channel outside of more access,
more videos, more content, and just again growing in this
scene to give you guys what you deserve. And that's
(14:44):
the best of me trying to make the boxing scene
even better.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
So yeah, there it is. That's it.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Like I said, it's been it's been a very very
fun stressful. But now we're at the point where I
can I can finally talk about it.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Do we have I want to see? Do we have
any questions? I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
This is in no way clickbait, by the way, because
this will be a partnership that goes on for at
least the next year. We're gonna be in the weeds
with this, It's gonna be every single thing every week
bringing you guys new content.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Thought you renounce him a.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Fight with KSI, I don't think that'll be happening at
any any point soon. Yes, Adie Ladipo will absolutely be
making some appearances on the channel, some of the content
creators that I hadn't worked with him forever that you
guys wanted me to work with again, I'm gonna be
able to do that now.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So I'm very very excited.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yes, Boots and stanionis as well. That's another massive event
we're gonna be covering. Well this effect the Breakdown absolutely
not myself and Sense will still be covering all the
stuff we want to cover over on the Breakdown as well.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
But this is.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Again think of it as a rocket ship that I
put onto my back, fueled up and snapped the harness
on to take us to the next level.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
That's where I Why did someone say getting a hair transplant? Now?
Don't know what that is? Don't know what that is, dude,
So yeah, no, there's I don't think there's any tears
going on. What are we talking about?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Uh? But yeah, like I said, I wanted to also
again give mention to the people that also helped this make,
you know, become possible, and those are the people over
at the volume.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Super excited to work with them as well. They've helped,
you know, make the connection between myself and the ring,
and we are going to now work in collaboration with
those companies and who knows where that partnership goes as well.
You guys know that I love covering all different types
of sports. We're gonna lock in on boxing, We're gonna
lock in on combat sports. We're gonna push it as
(17:03):
as hot as it is right now, is as big
as boxing is becoming, not just across the world, but
here in America in a market that severely needs boxing
to be great in my opinion. Again, Uh, we're gonna
continue doing that. But I'm I'm I can't tell you
guys how much this means to me. And uh again,
(17:24):
I keep smiling because this is gonna be This is
gonna be great. You guys will see this is not
just blowing smoke.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
This is actions. Very eminently. Things are going to ramp
up very quickly.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
A lot of details that that again we'll get into
as we move further along, but just expect more high
level boxing content. I will travel a lot, yes, depending
on you know when and where and how it lines
up for everybody. Uh listen, I am. I am essentially
(17:59):
saying yes to a lot right now. I'm saying yes
to access, I'm saying yes to coverage. I'm saying yes
to challenging myself. This is part of why I've done this,
because the longer you stay still, the more stagnant you become.
And I was feeling a little stagnant and I wanted
(18:20):
to do more and this is that more so the
way concept presented by the ring. This is again has
nothing to do with me covering specific things or me
not covering other stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I will still cover whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I want to cover on this channel, but I will also,
with a massive, massive hand and helping hand from the ring,
be able to give you, guys, more from the sport
of boxing that you love.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Click.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Thank you for the twenty baby, I appreciate it. I
appreciate that. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
But yes, it is a journey that starts today.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It will be at least a year long that we
will be entering into this partnership. And like I said,
I just I have no idea where it goes, but
I'm excited to see it.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I'm excited to see where I think it's.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I think it's just gonna do insane things for this channel,
for boxing, for all of it. I think it's really
gonna be a big time deal, A big move, big
big move. So what was the gay chee clip? Okay,
we can't talk about that yet. All right, There's still
some other things that are potentially coming down the line.
I can't say too much about a lot of stuff
(19:38):
until it's final. That's why I couldn't talk about this either. Hey, yo,
I appreciate, by the way, I appreciate all the donos man,
congrats on the big move. Thank you so much, everybody
that donated. Thank you all the memberships click I saw
the twenty Thank you so much. Yes, yes, I can't
speak on the gay chee clip until we do more.
(20:00):
I can't speak on that until we do more.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But there it is, y'all. That's it, and that's all.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Like I said, thank you all for joining a massive
move for my career, the biggest move I think my
career has ever had.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
And we'll see what happens next.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Man. I think you guys are gonna be very excited
with it. So thank you all for making this journey possible.
Sit tight, buckle up, and we're about to go to
the moon with this. I truly believe that, and I
hope you guys do too. That is our announcement. Stay
tuned for videos coming up in the next couple of days.
(20:37):
Like I said, we're gonna have some guests on the channel.
We're gonna really build toward Christian Bank Junior and counter
Binn's fight coming up, obviously, the May second fight, the
May third fight, Boots fight after that, all types of
good stuff coming up in the sport of boxing. Someone said,
man's got a sponsor, but not a barber.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Thanks for that. But yeah, that's it, and that's all folks.
I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We are going to wrap up here and you guys
will get more details as we keep going through this,
but just expect some of your favorite fighters here on
the Wade concept, some of your favorite events me at
those on the Wade concept. It's something I've never been
able to do, but is going to change the entire game. So,
(21:20):
like I said, thank you all. I'm not a lawyer,
but we got the contract done.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
It's a big thing. That's happening. I love you guys,
