On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with my good friend and fellow streamer to talk about his recent win over Topgoy. We talk about the aftermath of the fight and how he handled the situation. We also talk about what it's like to be a professional MMA fighter and how much money it takes to make it in the industry.
00:03:08.520like grinning ear to ear when you're like i have no loyalty to these people i was crying so good
00:03:13.680yeah no people all these fighters were upset you were one of the few that didn't they're like oh0.88
00:03:17.200you gotta do that dude i'm not signed i'm fucking these people have been disrespecting me for for0.99
00:03:22.000years and i'm glad you said something about it too because if you look at the fighters that were0.76
00:03:25.740bitching about it it's it's the fighters that are begging to get on more and more cards bro it's not
00:03:30.120the people that they use all the time it's the ones that they kind of use sometimes to that they
00:03:33.980pay pennies you know that's what it is yeah well so you were saying earlier you were tweeting about
00:03:39.100your pay what what was it for the um for the top boy fight bro for okay so keep in mind they they
00:03:48.720brought the fight to me in like august and they're like hey basically we want you to headline a pay
00:03:53.240per view next year your options are going to be uh deontay wilder or chisora and then like a week
00:03:58.540later they come at me and they're like we got andrew tale on the table but don't get too excited
00:04:01.640about it so i didn't really think about it and then he comes back and he was like um yeah we
00:04:06.520are in negotiations with the tape but you're gonna have to do like a weight cut and at the time i was
00:04:10.520like 240 bro and i was like how much of a weight cut he's like i need you at 200 and i was like
00:04:15.740okay and then he was like we have this fight in august uh it's gonna be like a weight check for
00:04:20.960you for it was for 5k to fight nate america on five thousand dollars he's like you could take
00:04:26.900it. Uh, but we need you to be at two 20. So I had to do like a 20 pound cut for that. I fought him0.90
00:04:32.320for like pennies and he cracked me in the face with an egg and then they got a shit ton of views0.65
00:04:36.920off of it. And I was like, okay, fine. Like I crashed out over that. And then, um, I told them,
00:04:42.680I was like, yeah, I'll take tape, but just to let you know, I have to go film like another dating
00:04:45.780show all of November. So like essentially like I'm going to be out of camp. Um, I'm basically
00:04:51.240gonna have to starve myself and eat cucumbers and watermelons for like the next two months
00:04:54.840so i can lose this other 20 pounds because i don't have any body fat on me bro i was
00:04:58.540fucking pretty lean yeah and then uh i made weight uh showed up made weight and then they0.79
00:05:04.980had like a rehydration clause in there which means i had to make weight again the next day0.97
00:05:09.000so basically that whole week bro i was getting up running in a sauna suit like getting drained
00:05:14.220all this and that and they offered me uh 250 at first i was like bro i can't do this for 250
00:05:19.080and then they're like uh we'll give you 300 flat no pay-per-view sales nothing and that's gonna be
00:05:25.180your fee and then if you win on the next fight we'll give you 450 but it's all under the same
00:05:30.920terms and conditions and then I was like fine like I sent him like this long text message I was like0.79
00:05:36.080I want you to know like I'm gonna agree to all of this shit and then after I beat him I don't want0.78
00:05:40.500to hear no excuses it was like yeah bro like there won't be any excuses this or that I was like okay0.98
00:05:44.680cool i'm just letting you know and then he called me back he was like oh by the way you can't talk
00:05:49.300about any of his court cases you can't talk about any allegations you can't talk about uh the weight
00:05:54.240clause that we put in there you can't do this you can't do that i was just like snapping on him0.77
00:05:57.880here and there i was like bro so what can i fucking talk about you every time i tweet something0.94
00:06:00.980you're yelling at me this and that and he was like no bro to be a sick story at the other end0.91
00:06:05.740of it and then like obviously you saw his face when i when i won the fight and i was like you
00:06:10.580know expect him to be really happy for me because you know we've worked for years to get this but
00:06:15.380for some reason he wasn't but he told me it was because the network was shitting the bed or
00:06:19.860something like that i was like okay fine whatever he called me up he's like who do you want next i
00:06:24.260was like give me tommy fury that's what i've been working for i want tommy fury that's the only fight0.94
00:06:27.560i don't want jake paul i'm not asking for these guys give me the fucking guy that makes sense for0.99
00:06:31.020me and then he's like okay i'll get back to you then he calls me up he's like i got darren till0.98
00:06:34.660for you at the initial darren till offer was 100k i was like how the fuck am i supposed to have a0.72
00:06:40.380rematch with andrew tate for 450 and you come to me with darren till who's like a legitimate world
00:06:44.740level fighter for 100k and i'm like bro like no obviously and then obviously he raised the price
00:06:51.420up a little bit but i think at most he got up to darren till was for for 250k to fight him in
00:06:57.280qatar as the main event i was like i'm not going to fight fucking darren till for half as much as0.98
00:07:02.220i was supposed to get on the rematch clause that doesn't make any sense yeah you know and so yeah0.93
00:07:06.940so i've had other fight promotions uh and shit reach out to me and offer me like bags to go fight0.73
00:07:12.560for them and uh yeah i told him about it and he sent me a cease and desist so i was like well
00:07:18.260there's my relationship with this it's like i got a cease and desist because other promotions want
00:07:23.240to pay me yikes bro and i saw your so your fight camp wasn't even a full camp i saw the videos of
00:07:28.680you training you're like in a parking lot you're in tennis shoes so what was your fight camp like
00:07:32.720Yeah. My fight camp was basically lose weight. So we were just doing cardio in the mornings and then I did like two and a half weeks. I went to do a TV show. I connected Misfits and all of them to the TV show. So if they needed to get a hold of me or anything, they could contact them and then they would get a hold of me.
00:07:50.920so like in the middle of the show i had to go do a press on these shows you don't get your phone or
00:07:55.520anything by the way so in the middle of the show i had to go do like a virtual press conference
00:07:59.260because they scheduled uh an in-person press conference gave me a week's notice saying i
00:08:04.540need to go to dubai and do an in-person uh press conference while i'm on the show and mind you the
00:08:08.700show's paying me more money than the fight's paying me um so i was like obviously no i can't
00:08:12.720do that and then um yeah basically right after the show finished filming i went and had to go
00:08:18.520straight to dubai and yeah so all of november i was gone so i missed that whole four weeks to camp
00:08:24.120so i really only got like four weeks to train well you still put on a great performance uh those
00:08:28.700uppercuts were unique i saw people talking about that those were some those were some crazy up but0.93
00:08:33.140they landed bro i mean people were making fun but they fucking that won you the fight right0.97
00:08:36.740you know what it is bro if you could if you could walk on water it's they'd be like you can't swim0.95
00:08:41.440the thing is is like i don't have to look pretty as long as like it's just winning fights if you
00:08:45.080look at my box like I'm on like 12 consecutive wins like nine of those by knockout you know
00:08:50.020it doesn't have to look pretty I just get the job done bro and that's what it was and I told
00:08:53.640him that I said to everybody in the press conference I said to everybody in the open
00:08:56.920work I said you guys are going to lose a lot of money because you guys let this man convince you
00:09:00.680that he's something he's not yeah you know what I mean and I knew okay you go no I was just saying
00:09:06.900everything I said to them I said every time he showed up it was always like a hundred cars a
