What happened there? Yeah sorry for the delay.
I guess we’re in another time zone um right on so today, uh being hump day, we have uh something special lined up: yeah uh, which we’ve been trying to sort out for the past few minutes, given our late arrival uh, hopefully we’ll get hold of our special Guest, our special guest being hey from brady junior, the hitman, the hit man who who we uh profiled a few weeks back and uh.
He seems to have quite a few fans based on the response.
Definitely definitely this kid man he’s.
You know actually this this.
This kid is juggling um a degree right now in uh in university uh, also as a college graduate and a high school graduate and uh a junior olympic gold medalist, an eastern qualifier’s gold medalist.
This kid, like he’s highly highly decorated um also, you know he debuted in the bubble he’s two and oh two knockouts, and you know this kid’s just got he’s, got tons and tons of talent, and i can’t wait to get him on here.
So we can speak to him about it because, honestly, you know juggling a full course load of six courses.
Uh, you know to get your to get.
Your degree is, is kind of heavy man and then, on top of that also working on your professional career.
As a boxer is going to be uh, something very um difficult to you know, accomplish man and not too many people out there can do it.
He’S been featured in his college’s uh albany tech magazine, which uh they did a piece on and um.
You know now he’s at clark, atlanta, university uh, taking six virtual courses as a biology major, so this kid’s got some brains and some power because he’s very heavy-handed this kid he’s got he’s got knockout power in all his hands and uh.
I hope we can get him on here soon.
I i did email him the link, we’re just waiting for him to sign on here, while we’re, while we’re waiting, we uh, we might want to inform the good viewership, especially those who are boxers, that we’ve launched a new uh section on our website.
Under the my pro my profile, where boxers can sign in get themselves a free page, begin to upload their own videos, their own photos and begin letting the world know who the heck they are and why they should be featured by us.
Yes, definitely definitely guys fighters boxes around the world use our platform, just like just like any other social media platform.
Man throw your pictures up your videos, your training, videos, uh full fights, whatever you want, whatever you want, the public, the fans, our viewers to you, know see about you and and how you represent boxing and where you come from, and you know your ability and your Talent leave it all up there.
Man and you know our viewers get to see who you are help profile you and show who you are.
On top of that, we get to find out who you are, and you know maybe do a piece on you and and help push you and your brand across the world.
You know all the way from one end of it to the other.
That’S that’s! What we’re trying to do here trying to we’re trying to create that platform for these younger boxers around the world that are not getting noticed.
That need to be noticed, because there is a lot of talent out there, that just don’t have the opportunity or or the resources to be able to pursue the career.
They went the way they wanted, and you know a lot of these guys who have chosen to become pro athletes.
You know are stuck working nine to fives, and you know it’s it’s pretty rough man when, when you’re a professional fighter, you still got ta, you know get your ass to work and be yelled at by your boss.
It’S it’s got, ta be difficult and and especially because you’re training all the time, it’s got ta be difficult to hold back from punching him when he pisses you off.
So you know it’s it’s pretty! Here’S! Here’S what i think mike if jake paul can do it.
Anybody can do it so here’s the platform, you begin accessing all these viewers – and you see not just viewers in america but around the world right, because we we have uh access viewers across europe across africa, across asia and south america.
You know we’re digging deep and uh.
This youtube thing, this twitch thing this whole social media thing is actually working, so we asked our technology department whether they could implement a section that we could devote to boxers, and so we could uh begin to understand their lives.
More and you know if the boxer wants to have his mom or his dad shoot some video of him or her in the gym, fantastic, that’s what we want to see.
We want shots of you in the in the actual ring.
We want shots of you.
We want shots of your home, your hometown, where you grew up.
What makes you special hey, we want to see if you box out your brother in the living room.
No, no, no, no pillow fights show me the ones like you know, over over the christmas holidays, where you and your brother are duking it out in the living room, we’ll see that man, it’s okay, just show us all of it all.
The ability of your of your punching here man, this is what we want to see.
We want to see it all.
You know just just upload that, and you want to see it man, because you know what there’s a lot of stuff that goes on scene in the boxing community.
There’S a lot of knockouts around the world that don’t get televised, and you know this is going to be an opportunity for us to hopefully get to see you guys out there who have this ability yeah, i mean if there’s one thing we found out while doing This show is on one hand, boxers take that game, that sport very seriously it has as uh bull has been telling us.
It is uh.
It is a chess game on many levels, but it’s also a sport.
It has to be taken seriously, but on the other hand, what we’re finding out from the actual fighters themselves is they’re a lot of fun, they’re they’re yep, normal fun-loving humans, who like to tell a good story and that’s what we want to tell as well.
So you know: let’s: let’s uh, let’s see if we can get uh haven, brady uh on the show and let’s see if we can profile him uh and get his videos shown to the rest of the world.
Definitely definitely i’m i’m looking forward to it.
I’M looking forward to seeing all these raw videos of of all these fighters in the gym.
You know why, because you get to see them when, when they’re at their best in the hardest part, you know training.
That’S what i want to see man i want to see.
I want to see those videos where you don’t have it any left, and you know that 30 second buzzer goes before the round ends and you and you pour all of it in man.
That’S what i want to see.
I want to see the heart i want to see the drive i want to see.
You know where you don’t think you can go anymore and and you’re forced to keep going and you perform.
Well, that’s what we want to see.
We want to see those videos that the public doesn’t get to see sure you work your ass off, for you know six week camp to get in the ring and all of a sudden in the first round you clip buddy and he doesn’t get back up.
You didn’t get to showcase everything that you did coming up to that fight.
I want to see that stuff.
Our viewers want to see that stuff.
So you know what use this opportunity guys join, talk and fight get on there create your profile start uploading.
Your social boxing media we’ll have to come up with a catchy name for it other than my profile, and we will because we’ve got a lot of smart people on the team who can figure this out the same the same way in about two seconds, we came Up with knuckle up, yeah yeah, well, i’ve been thinking about that one for years for years for years, but um yeah, oh oh um, speaking of the jake paul thing, um he’s already uh he’s already hitting headlines talking about um cte.
Have you have you seen this? But how he says, he’s suffering from cte already what the heck is cte.
Apparently it’s um.
I don’t know the exact show the exact medical term for it, but it’s it’s something that boxers get that causes uh injuries to the brain, and he already says that he is.
He already says that he’s he’s he’s already showing signs of it and honestly, i just think it’s uh him trying to bow out of this uh this.
This thing that he’s created this damn circus and uh yeah.
So i’m not sure man, i’m not sure.
Well, you know what i mean, you know he can lend us a few million and we can.
We can get off the ground properly and get the right people involved and we can take from here.
Jake, hey how’s his brother doing uh he’s supposed to be fighting floyd mayweather he is, he is lined up actually to fight.
I don’t like honestly what what the hell is wrong with these brothers like seriously like, where are they like? Where do they even get off? Calling out people like floyd mayweather, first of all, like are you? Are you ridic like what the hell is wrong with you? You totally want to get in the ring with 50-0.
You know world champion uh.
You know future hall of famer floyd mayweather with one loss under your belt.
Like that, honestly, it’s gon na be a bloodbath like i don’t.
Even i honestly it’s a payday, that’s what that is man.
I guess logan paul’s follower followers and must have like fallen off somewhere and you know, maybe maybe he’s got to pay for you know his his property tax or something like that.
But you know like maybe maybe a property tax, maybe maybe he needs a new car.
Like who knows what he needs, but this is this is a joke.
Man like come on like conor mcgregor, i conor mcgregor was a joke in the ring against floyd mayweather, and he has.
He literally has tons of fight experience, right, tons, tons of fight experience and honestly and truthfully that was a [ __ ] show now you’re gon na get a guy who you know has, has they don’t even the logan? You know logan and jake paul have no amateur amateur [ __ ] under their belt man they’re.
You know, i think, i think they joined some some tournament in la that was supported by the wbc and it was some amateur boxing tournament they put on and i think they both had a fight in it.
So they both had like one amateur boat or some something ridiculous like that, and then i don’t know how the hell they classify well, what jake paul is doing as as professional wins when he hasn’t even stepped in the ring against a professional boxer.
This is blowing my mind, he’s co, he’s he’s listed on box wreck he’s climbing the rankings, but yet he’s yet to fight against a professional boxer, blows my mind right now, honestly i’ll get in the ring and fight jake paul.
You know what i’ll do knock his head off: that’s what will happen, won’t even train for it i’ll just get in there and do tomorrow.
How about that? This is a joke.
Give me a million bucks.
Give me a million bucks.
Let me put an end to this [ __ ] show that he’s created like seriously it’s ridiculous man, but i just don’t know what his end game is here like i really don’t uh his uh.
Honestly, it’s the big money.
It’S got ta be to make money.
He isn’t he making enough like.
Could he couldn’t he couldn’t he do like the driving down the highway thing and people would people just follow him? You know what i mean he could he could he could he could but like come on heck.
He could do what we’re doing.
Yes, he could he could.
He could be doing this 100 percent.
He could be.
I mean if we can make money, he can make money right.
Yes, definitely.
Definitely we can definitely make money with these making money, because, honestly, okay, the ben asking ben, asked in jake paul fight.
You know what let’s talk about: it obviously um we’re unable we’re having difficulties getting a hold of our guests.
Today i don’t know – maybe maybe so we’ll just continue on.
Hopefully we can save it for tomorrow.
Maybe we’ll get a hold of him tomorrow and i’ll get him in here.
Honestly, we need to talk to this kid, because honestly, he’s he’s he’s doing his thing.
Man yeah having brady jr, is really doing his thing.
He’S you know in university, he’s got a college degree high school.
You know he’s 3.
5 gpa with a with an associate’s degree out of the college that he went to and um you know.
That’S that’s hard to do man.
That’S you know, that’s 80s! So he’s dedicating his self really, and you know what i found an awesome picture of him, which uh which, when we get him on here.
This is this: i’m gon na we’re gon na post it when we get them on here and it’s great because he’s in his capping, gown uh with you know his little little sash, but he’s also got a pair of boxing gloves hanging over his neck too.
And it’s uh and it looks it looks pretty uh looks pretty funny, but but honestly it represents.
What i like about the picture is that it represents how hard he’s worked in both both things right right, right, it’s it’s! You know he’s turned pro he’s graduated with an associate’s degree with a 3.
5 gpa and uh.
You know what does he do? He furthers his education by getting into uh.
You know university and uh working on his uh biology.
You know biology major.
So that’s that’s pretty pretty damn impressive man and you know clark atlanta university is, though you know it’s no joke and uh.
You know, i think it’s awesome man and i can’t wait to talk to the kid about it.
So you know what why don’t we just talk about some of this? You know the crap that’s going on in with uh.
Well, you know what, let’s finish off with this mayweather logan paul thing, because i you know what i don’t know what the hell.
These guys are thinking it’s it’s kind of ridiculous uh.
I believe i believe it’s gon na end so fast that i think it’s going to end like the ben askren fight.
To be honest, just you know, one of the paul brothers is going to get his head knocked off is what i think is going to happen, but hey, i don’t even think i don’t even think the dates confirmed yet for the fight.
I know it was postponed, but i think it was postponed because i know they were probably giving logan paula.
You know a better chance to get trained up to get in the ring.
I think it was.
I don’t think it had nothing to do with mayweather, because i knew in the beginning.
I heard that it had to do with mayweather not being ready bull crap.
I’M calling shenanigans that guy’s always ready.
He doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke.
He doesn’t do anything to spend money like he’s always ready, always so the fact that they said that makes me think that uh after after this mayweather logan paul deal actually got done, i think i think logan paul um, you know, might have pooped a little bit In his pants and uh he got worried because he’s about to get his head drilled in so i think they gave him the opportunity to redeem himself and uh.
You know get get in that gym because you know we haven’t heard anything about him in headlines at all, because you know that guy’s now taking this serious and you know what he should take it serious.
You know what logan paul, if you will it it can happen.
Yeah sure man shoot for the stars.
No, she wasn’t shoot for the stars and land on the moon, all right.
Let’S uh! Let’S put that to you.
We don’t want to waste our good viewerships time here, yeah yeah for sure guys, uh.
