Speaker 2 (01:48):
What's up, guys.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It is Friday, September fifth, and welcome to a brand
new episode at DCTV, brought to you by Total Wireless,
the official wildness provider of UFC. In your corner with
unlimited five G data that will not slow you down.
So I kind of fancy myself like as kind of
cool because I say stuff like, but what will not
(02:10):
slow you down is this? Hey, I'm changing that today
because we need to slow down. We need to slow
down with certain things. Man, when we did Jake Paul
fighting Gervonte Davis, I thought I thought we were probably
at the limit of what could be done in boxing.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I swear I thought a guy that fights in walking
to a ring at over two hundred pounds fighting a
guy that walks into the ring at one hundred and
forty four pounds was the limit of the ridiculousness that
we could get to in boxing. I thought Jake Paul
Mike Tyson was ridiculous. I thought, honestly, Connor McGregor fighting
Floyd me whether back in the day was about as
(02:56):
ridiculous a boxing thing that we could have imagined. And
then it went insanely crazy. Because obviously we see the
YouTube fights and celebrity fights and everything else. It's gotten
a lot worse. But I thought we were at the
limit with that weight discrepancy. Nope, yesterday it was announced,
(03:20):
or at least it started to circulate, and I mean,
Luis is gonna put the quotes in the chat, so
then I have a better idea of what, uh these
guys are thinking. But Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather are
going to fight in exhibition. We saw Mike Tyson fight
Roy Jones, right, We heard Roy Jones say at the
(03:44):
end of the day it was Mike. So when you
start going crazy, I'm like, Yo, this's Mike. I gotta
be careful. They're actually going to fight again, guys, ridiculous
hundred palms.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Floyd Mayweather.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Was fighting at one fifty four, and he was severely
undersized at one fifty four. Floyd Mayweather was a guy
that fought in the one thirties to start his career
and then fought up as high as one sixty.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Maybe Floyd Mayweather was a small guy.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
He's not going to fight Mike Tyson, who's the heavyweight champion.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I respect these two men so great, that so great
a degree that it's hard for me to almost make
negative statements about them. But I think that our job
as talking heads is to tell you the truth. Regardless
of how much you would admire someone or are the
(04:43):
applause and adulation you have for them, you gotta tell
them the truth.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I don't get this.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I don't get this for the life of me, because,
by all accounts, Mike Tyson started his new business, got
his life on track as a great wife that helps
him manage all those things, made a boatload of money
to fight Jake Paul last year.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's not a money play, Floyd.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I saw a thing this morning, him talking about keeping
his money clean, stuffing hundreds of thousands of dollars in
a plastic bag. These guys don't need money A lot
of times when you get these great champions fighting well
past that prime, it's to make cash.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
We see it a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
These two don't seem to need the money, so I
don't understand the need to do this. When talked about it,
Mike Texter said, uh, I still can't believe Floyd wants
to really do this. It's going to be detrimental to
(05:47):
his health, but he wants to do it. So it's
signed and it's happening. Hey, when Mike thought Jake Paul,
a lot was made of him being fifty eight years old,
he's in tremendous shape. I mean I saw him, and
even in there right he couldn't get going at the
rate that he expected. But early he was fighting like
(06:07):
Mike Dyson, fighting like Mike Dyson. Floyd Mayweather's much younger,
but he's so much smaller, So I get why Mike
is like, yo, I don't know what this dude wants
to do. Because there was a world where no one
would ever thought that those guys would end up in
the ring together.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And again, they don't need money.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I imagine though, It's gonna be a boatload of money
and no one could would turn away. Twenty million dollars
or whatever those guys may make. I don't I don't
know what they're gonna make, but they're gonna make and
then same amount of money. But they have money.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
So they Mayweather said, hey, to.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
The haters, I'd be mad too. How to f for
thirty years?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You can keep getting money like this, continue to hate
you know?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's the video.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I saw him on a private plane just stuffing money
in there. But like, that's the thing though, right, he
doesn't need to go make money, or at least doesn't
seem that way. He seems to be doing fine. He
seems to be doing fine. But he's gonna fight Mike Tyson.
My biggest question always around these things is how do guys,
(07:25):
especially the greats, explain.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
To the general public.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You're going to watch a fight between Mike Tyson and
Floyd Mayweather, but it's not gonna be an actual fight.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's gonna be an exhibition.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
How much in that exhibition? Sorry, are we supposed to
believe that they're actually fighting? I get the word exhibition
when you combine weight classes. So when we wrestled back
in the day, they did this thing called the super
heavyweight champions, So they took the heavyweights, they took the
(08:02):
light heavyweights, two eleven in heavyweight, and they combines in
the eight person brackets and the two winners of the
brackets will wrestle each other to be.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Called the ultimate world champion.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That's one way class apart, but that was still considered
an exhibition because we weren't in the same weight class
off the scale, but we were actually wrestling at one
hundred percent. Can Floyd and Mike rest we at one
hundred percent or fight at one hundred percent when there's
that big a difference in the size?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Can Mike Tyson hit Floyd Mayweather?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Floyd Mayweather, when you look at him, never took much
damage in his career. Floyd hasn't been hit much. Floyd
has all of his faculties about himself. He's still fine.
Would he be willing to risk all that to go
fight Mike Tyson in an exhibition? But the exhibition actually
be fought at a pace and at an intensity level
(08:57):
that makes people go, I want to watch this because
I remember when Mike thought Roy Jones it was always
something I would have been interested in, But when the
fight happened, it just felt too much like he wasn't
trying to hurt him. And when I watch fights, I
(09:19):
want to see people trying to hurt each other. It's
what we sign up for. I knew every time walking
in there, I was gonna either hurt the guy or
he was gonna hurt me. And that's why people watched
to watch a high level of skill, but also for
you to inflict damage. That's why the contendis theories is
so popular. People love seeing people get fucked up.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Here's what it is. That's why we watch these YouTube videos,
and that's why.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
We watch all this disturbed shit online because you like it.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
From the beginning of time, people love the fight. Go
all the wayack to the days of the Romans.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
They built colosseums for you to watch crazy stuff, bullfighting, uh, gladiators, all.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
That weird crazy shit. Violence. That's what people want to see.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And I don't know if those guys can promise violence,
because if they promise violence and they don't deliver, then
there's no more of that.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
We've already seen Floyd do this with Logan Paul. We
see Floyd doing these exhibitions. How many times do people
watch that exhibition when they know there will be no violence.
So Mike Tyson said, I've been doing this for thirty years.
There hasn't been a single fighter that could finish or
tarnish my legacy. You already know that if I'm going
(10:40):
to do something, it's gonna be big, and it's gonna
be legendary. I'm the best in the business of boxing.
The exhibition will give the fans what they want, and
therein lies the problem. I believe the fans want violence.
Maybe they don't, though Mike is saying he can give
us what we want. But what is it that they
(11:00):
can give us without promising violence? Because one thing I
do know we won't see is Mike just starts Floyd
Mayweather Because could you imagine if he just knocks out Floyd,
because and Floyd's that much smaller, the visual hell, it
would be the most viewed thing you ever see on TV.
The clips would be the most viral shit you've ever
seen in your entire life. But I can't imagine Floyd
(11:24):
would sign up for that knowing that that was a possibility.
Mayweather fought a draw with John Gott It the third
in twenty twenty four. It was an exhibition and he
fought a guy named Ola Tungee in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
That was an exhibition.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Mike Tyson fought Jake Paul in twenty and twenty five.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Twenty four.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Before that, he lost to Kevin McBride in two thousand
and five.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
So clearly.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Eight Mike is fifty nine years old as we talk
about this.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
He can't give us violence.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
So what is it that they can give us to
make us turn in or tune in to.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
This fighting and buy the pay per view? Hey?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
UFC pay per view model is over, but boxing will
never go away from pay per view?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
What can we watch? This might end up on Netflix though,
so yeah, I might. I might be wrong.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And if it's on Netflix, then that's safety for them,
right because they get all the money without.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The need to sell and then people will watch.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
So boys, y'all better get on Netflix, get that bag
and go and give us what we want. Hey, guys
in the comments, could you tell me what we want
as fans when it comes to a combat sport? Let
me know because I'm confused if those guys can deliver
on that.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Until next time, guys, Peace,
