But first, the Clippers and the Toronto Raptors trade centered on Kawhi Leonard will not be complete until the NBA investigation will whether the Clippers circumvented the salary cap is completed. The Clippers and the Raptors agreed to a trade on June 30th that would send the NBA the All NBA forward to Toronto Toronto for Brandon Ingram Grady ick protect the first round draft pick in 2031, 2033 and a 2027 first round pick swap and two second round picks. The NBA's investigation into the Clippers is focused on whether they circumvented the salary cap by funneling money to Kawhi through a $28 million endorsement deal with with a green banking company Aspiration, which also had 300 million 23 year endorsement deal with the team. Team owner Steve Ballmer, who invested $60 million in aspiration has denied he had any knowledge of Kawhi's deal. The Clippers on Thursday said they did not funnel money to Kawhi Leonard through Aspiration and there were victims of fraud initiated by Aspirants Aspiration. Excuse me, co founder Joe Sandberg. Sandberg was convicted and sentenced to 14 years in prison. Joe, the NBA loved the billionaires until they found out how they really do business. What do you make of this situation? Pablo Torrey, he has a podcast, he was at ESPN and he did an in depth deep dive. He had documentation of saying okay, this is what they were doing. He had a $28 million endorsement deal in which he didn't have to show up. He had other perks that he didn't have to do anything and, and he just received those perks. Now it is noted he went, him and his uncle Dennis approached the Toronto Raptors about a very, very similar situation. They wanted part of the team and they wanted this and they wanted that. And the upper management told him that's illegal, we can't do that, we're circumventing the salary cap and that. And the league found this out basically in a long story short, they're going to punish us severely. It was reported that they brought the same thing to the Lakers and the Lake and Jeanie Bus like we can't do that. And lo and behold, the one team didn't sign with Toronto, he didn't sign with the Lakers, the one team that seemingly that is what it looks like allegedly he signed with. But this is what's being reported and they say they're not going to do let this thing go through until they do their deep dive investigation. In order to sign the Clippers, Kawhi reportedly sought assurances that they would extend far beyond the basketball floor. According to the Athletic, Kawhi's advisor, Uncle Dennis requested ownership staking companies, corporate sponsorship and no show endorsement deals that allow Kawhi to collect millions in revenue without doing any actual work. Pablo Torre found that Kawhi and his employers devised a foolproof system to secure Kawhi an additional 28 million in funding. Additionally, Pablo Torre investigating found the Aspiration offered Kawhi an additional $20 million on top of the 28 million dollar nest egg meaning he was due to collect $48 million. The mechanism for a Kawhi collect the said resources with KL2Aspire LLC, a company owned by Kawhi and Uncle Dennis. If I'm not mistaken, the Kawhi partner with Steve Ballmer led Aspiration, a tree planting company that went bust in March of 2025. Joe, what are you making of this?
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
I can hold you my honest opinion. Hell, it probably did happen. If you just want me, I'm saying listen, because you know, y' all know how billionaires move, bro. They yes damn fair. We always going, it's always gonna be a little uneven, you know what I mean? But I think to get Kawhi to commit. Hell, man, this probably was an under the table deal, bro. Hey, hey, we gonna take care of you. We gonna make sure you make plenty of money off the court. Hey, they just mess around. They got caught. Now the NBA finna do a deep dive. Now y' all know they rescinded the Chris Paul deal back when he was with the Hornets. They didn't let that deal go through.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You remember what they did to Joe Smith?
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
When he had that deal, he signed that Minnesota.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Minnesota. Yeah.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
It put Minnesota in hell for, for, for the foreseeable future. It took they draft picked for the next three years. They say, no, you cannot resign. Joe Johnson. Excuse me, Joe. Joe Johnson. Joe Smith. And so he had a big time deal on the table that they were. Hey, we're gonna go ahead and sign this thing. Soon as the season over and somebody got mad and they went to the league office and told the league office and David Stern did not play. That foolishness hammered him.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
So. So those are just the ones that got caught here. Imagine the one that didn't get caught.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Right? I so check your ISO. Check your mic.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
What happened?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
It sound like it's coming from your computer.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Oh, what about now? What about now?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Say something.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
What's up? What's up?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay. Go ahead.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Go ahead. Yeah, so. So it don't surprise me, man. Hey, hey, these billionaires gonna move a little different. And I'm sure this was. You know, we'll probably never know the full story of the truth, but this was probably under the table deal, bro. Just keep it 100.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Actually, can you change your mic setting?
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
I just did to.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Oh, Joe. It seems to be he goes to one place, wants all this stuff, ownership, staking, corporations. He wants these deals where you're going to give me X amount of dollars, but I'm not gonna have to do anything. For it. But, but even if that's the case, you still can't do that. Everything has to be basketball related. Now he says that with the Raptors. Now he goes to the Lakers. They said no. Jeannie Buss is reported that Jeannie Buss said, we can't do that. Two teams say no. It seemingly now he signs with a team. Now, what's the likelihood that all three teams said no? Seems to me two teams said no, one team found a way to do it. Hey, we'll do it like this here. We put it in an llc, a boom, boom, boom. You'll be a partner. And if I'm not mistaken, Pablo was reporting that they created these companies, these LLCs, Kawhi and his uncle Dennis, like, shortly before the deal was commiserated. Yeah. Consummate.
Shakur Stevenson
Yeah.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Excuse me.
Host 3 (Joe)
Well, obviously, Uncle Joe, for us, we actually, we actually probably have a little, little history and understanding on how billionaires work. They become billionaires for a reason. They don't do everything by the book. They never actually played by the book, which is why they're able to attain the kind of wealth that they do get when it comes to cutting corners. They know exactly what corners are cut to be able to get what they want done. Uh, this just happened to be a situation where a billionaire has gotten caught. They gotten caught up in, in what they wanted to do in getting the player they actually wanted most of the time when it comes to them, when they do business, they throw money at it. They throw money at it to fix any issue and to get what they want. It just happened to be one of many that it happened to been have, you know, happened and been caught up in it. And obviously it did go through. I'm not sure if the trade is going to go through once they do a deep dive, but how much of a dive do you need to make? You don't need scuba here. I mean, Ray Charles can see what was going on here, you know, so I'm not sure what the dive is for. It's not really necessary. There's really nothing to, to get in depth about is more so common sense and logic. We look at the situation. David Stern is not the commissioner right now, so maybe Adam Silver may. Adam Silver may be a little bit more lenient, but we'll see what happens.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah. I just think the thing is that when you're dealing with a situation like this and they, they have these big time lawyers, the lawyers making 2,500, $3,000 an hour, they, they went to all these prestigious schools, they're a big part of these big law firms, and they know how to maneuver. And we see this a lot of times when they want to move money, they create these corporations so it don't tie back to them, and they get to move money over here, over there, and you never know. You never. You never know where it came from or how they came to be, but you just know. They just know how to do things like that. And that's, you know, that's the way if something were to happen, I have. I need. Because at the end of the day, Joe, Ocho and Joe, I need plausible deniability. And you see what he said I gave. Yeah, I gave him $60 million, but I had no knowledge of where the money was going. See, he has plausible deniability. So that's what I need. That's what you have to create. You have to create. That happened. I absolutely gave ocho and Joe $10 million a piece, but I didn't know what they was doing with that money. Now. Hey, I'm just. I was scammed just as much as you guys were. Oh, check your mic. God, Dag. Everybody having bike problems today, huh?
Host 3 (Joe)
Hold on. Can you hear me? Hey, my mic.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
You good?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I'm good now your mic on zoom.
Host 3 (Joe)
It ain't. It ain't.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Now.
Host 3 (Joe)
Hold on.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You good now, Ocho?
Host 3 (Joe)
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Shakur Stevenson
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Host 3 (Joe)
You know, I got this thing. I got this thing. Nip tuck over here now.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah, but they're gonna do. They're gonna.
Host 3 (Joe)
Hey, Joe, can you hear me?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Joe, mute.
Host 3 (Joe)
Not now, Joe. You muted, Joe.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Hey, guys, I finally found somebody worse that electronics than me and technology.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Oh, y' all still can't hear me?
Host 3 (Joe)
Oh, there you go.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
We got you now. Yeah, so it's a.
Announcer
It's.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
It's a very unfortunate situation because, you know, you want to make it. And plus, the thing is, you have to get extra money because. Why? Guys, I'm in California, 13 and a half percent state tax, so I need to. I need some way. The money that I'm losing, I need a way to get. Get some of that back. And what's the best way to get it back? Okay, you give me extra. So if I'm just making 130 now, you give me an opportunity to make 170 or. Okay, you know what?
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
All right.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Okay. Little extra 24 meal in my pocket. I could do a little something with that. Yeah, but look, to get said play, I mean, we see this all the time when you want somebody when they coming out of college and It's Google or it's Apple or it's whatever the case may be, Alphabet metal. If you want to get, really get one of these top notch students, Ocho, you got to make, you got to make assurances. Okay? I'm gonna pay for your apartment the first year. First year, I'm gonna pay to relocate you. I'm gonna give you an additional. I'm gonna start you off at this, but I'm also going to give you a bonus. Because you're in competition.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yes.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Once, once you're valuable and you. And they know other corporations want your services now, you become a valuable commodity. See, that's how value is created.
Host 3 (Joe)
Boom.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
And so Kawhi, they knew he was valuable. How do, how do I make sure he doesn't go back to Toronto and he doesn't sign with the team that's at the penthouse in the building that we play in? They said no, we've got. There's no way he's going to the Clippers. No. So it's going to be. It's going to be. It doesn't look good, but sometimes things to the naked eye, you know, sometimes the eyes can fool us. It's not a good book. They're going to do their homework. And who knows, maybe they find something. Ocho joke. Maybe they don't. Yeah, we're gonna find out here in what the Next, I say seven to
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
14 days, they gonna find something.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You want to go find something, right? So you've been that to see what, what happened? There he be dying on the play of be gaming Ocho, and he done messed the settings up, so.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
So I got one. Hold on. One more, one more time. One more time. So y' all really can't. Y' all can't hear me or y' all hear an echo or what?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah, I guess. I guess in, in. In production, they hear it like you talking through your. Instead of your microphone. You talking through the computer.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah, I can hear you.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
I'm saying. But I sound funny or something, Ocho.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah, you look funny. You don't sound funny.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You want, you want, you want to, you want to have him log out and then log back on? Okay. He don't know how to fix it. Hell, if he can fix it from Saturday, he can fix it right now.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah, yeah, dude. They normally talk me through it, but we ain't been having no problems. We've been Gucci.
Host 3 (Joe)
I like that joke. They normally what?
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
They normally talk me through it, but.
Host 3 (Joe)
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You already saying. Yeah, that's how they do. They talking right on through it. Yeah, If it don't come out in the wash, it'll come out in the rinse.
Tab Ramos
Hey, hey.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Y' all too damn grown to be managing like this, man, you know? But y' all so managed. You hear me?
Host 3 (Joe)
Hey, hey. That's the wrong.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)

Host 3 (Joe)
Wrong choice of words to you talk you through it.
Announcer
Yeah.
Host 3 (Joe)
That's what. That's what we. That's what we normally do. I mean, but somebody else talking you through it. I mean, I ain't never heard that
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Einstein say, a person that runs with a lie eventually will stumble over the truth because everything come to light.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Announcer

Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)

Host 3 (Joe)
Hey, I'm just saying, it's. It's your choice of wording. Hey, Joe. That's all.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah.

Hey, Joe, you just tell him.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
That'll make you no bad brother. I don't think you know bad brother. Joe don't.

Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I mean, you. You. We are who we are at the end of the day. We are what we are right now. Whether you tell us who you are, but that's who you are. Even. Even in your most private moments, when Joe John. When Joseph Johnson is home alone by himself.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
If there's no one else around, that's who he is.
Shakur Stevenson
Yeah.
Host 3 (Joe)
You gotta look in that mirror.

You ain't got to tell Ocho and I. Me and Ocho and I can survive, and you got.
Host 3 (Joe)
You got to face the music.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Hey, y' all make yourself look guilty, man. When y'. All. When y'.

All.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Look, look.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
See what I'm saying?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You can open it. He'll fly away. Or you could crush him. But the bird is in your hand. And again, don't make you no bad, bro.
Host 3 (Joe)
I like. That was real profound.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I mean, Joe think we gonna. But see, I think the thing is. Oo. He think we're gonna look at him differently. We won't.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah, we not gonna judge you. Hey, we not gonna judge you.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
What you what. What you judge me on what?
Host 3 (Joe)
I mean. I mean.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah.
Host 3 (Joe)
I mean, you're being talked through authentically yourself.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Being talked through it, huh?
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah. Yeah. Ain't no. Ain't no.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Listen, what y' all think What y' all think, Chat?
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah, they think that you won. And Ojo too. Oh, yeah, y' all won. I'm gonna tell you what they really think. I'm gonna tell you what they really think, Chat. Really think up one. And Ocho, you. Ocho fighting you. Because you see what he pulled out the other night?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I mean, damn, that. That alone should make him number one.
Host 3 (Joe)
Hold on, wait. What do you mean that. That ain't my stuff.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Whose stuff was that?
Host 3 (Joe)
I was just bringing stuff on to show you and what you could do in your relationship. I don't use it.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
And plus, Joe.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah, I was looking at.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
But we know you're gonna win the battle. We already know.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Hey, y' all want me to be. Y' all want me to be number one so bad. It ain't gonna happen, fellas. I'm sorry. Duh.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
But. But here's the question, though. Joe and Ocho, if they do find that the Clippers circumvented the cap in order to acquire Kawhi services, what is the punishment? What should the punishment be? Ooh, because he got there in 2019. So the. 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. So they basically had basically almost seven, eight years of his service.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah, they gonna. They gonna try to. Obviously, you know, they're gonna try and put a big fine on them, but they're gonna probably take away draft picks. They're gonna try to make it tough so they have to suffer over the next four to five years for sure.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
It. It'll ruin them.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Now look, a fine angle. He. He's the wealthiest. He's the wealthiest sports owner in the world. The man's worth 150something billion dollars. So that ain't gonna do it. You know, you fight, you find him a million dollars, 5 million, 10 million, $20 million. That doesn't do anything to his pockets.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Right.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
And he write it off. The only thing, the only way you can get the attention is, is to take draft compensation. Yep, yep. Take that draft compensation first. A first round pick. Hell, I don't know if they got any first round picks anyway after what they traded.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah, they probably don't. I don't know. I ain't sure. But they gonna have to make do with what they got. Cause they gonna. They gonna damn sure try and punish them.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Well, I think they should. I don't think you have a choice. Because what you. What you try to do, punishment should be swift and harsh. But punishment is not about the individual or the organization that committed the act. It's also about sending a message to deter others from committing said acts.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah, right.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Cause you already know what happened once you find out that calling card. Guess what? Now you got about 15 people got calling cards.
Host 3 (Joe)
And the funny thing about it is there's always some funny business going on, especially when it comes to business with people that have that kind of wealth.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yes.
Shakur Stevenson
They don't do. They don't.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
You don't say always. Not always. Ojo.
Announcer
Yeah.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I hate saying always and ever. But the thing is, and. And Ocho has talked about this, man, to get that kind of wealth, you got to step on a lot. You got to step on or step over a lot of people.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah, yeah.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I ain't saying you stepping on him, Joe, but you got to step over.
Host 3 (Joe)
Hey, it's a dirty business, man. It's a dirty business. And most of the time, when you. When you. When you amass, you know, that kind of wealth, I mean, you don't play by the book. I mean, you never have anyway, you know, let alone. So any short. Any shortcuts, you can take. Any advantage you can. You can. You can do to help your business in any way and to continue to, you know, grow your money exponentially, you're going to do it. You're going to do it. Every issue, the one thing that they do if you had that kind of money is, is you throw more money at it. That's how you fix everything.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
And when you have money, what don't you like being told no? Because if you tell me no, Joe, I'm going to put a number out there that you got to say yes.
Host 3 (Joe)
You can't refuse.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
So that's what. That's. That's what I'll do. You say no, but I'll put a number. I'll put a. Putting up zeros where you don't have enough. You don't have no. Like, damn. Yeah, because maybe you got a number in your mind that, like. Nah, I'm good. But he goes double what that number you had in your mind, you're like,
Tab Ramos
huh?
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Like.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Like Cube, you're mcu.
Shakur Stevenson
Like, huh?

What they like a damn super team out there? Well, they. They the first team to make it to the semifinals, right?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yes.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah, I thought. I thought Morocco played good. I thought they played decent. What? Hell, they goalie played all right. You know, the refs kept it a decent game. They weren't calling all that bs. But Mbappe, Unc, if he stay healthy, he gonna pass all. All them records Messi got in the World Cup.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Well, he already got like, 20 goals.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Hell, if they. He got half of what they got now.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
If they.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
If they got 16, 17 goals now, he probably got about half of them in the World Cup. He got.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Well, he. What, he got eight, nine?
Host 3 (Joe)
Who, that? Yeah, he's at. He's at eight now. He's one above Messi.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah, he gonna have every record.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
No, he tied Messi. Both of them got eight. Oh, dude, he has one more.
Host 3 (Joe)
That's right. Messi. Messi just scores.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Messi just scored one assist. He has eight with two assists.
Host 3 (Joe)
Two assists.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Okay, so friends defeats Morocco two nothing to advance to the semis. Keelin Mbappe scored a stunning goal after missing a first half penalty. He tied Lionel Messi for the lead for the Golden Boot with eight. And Bobby assisted on Dembele's goal six minutes later to help get this fifth goal of the tournament. Mbappe and the Belly have joined. Ronaldo and Rivaldo are the only players to have scored more than five goals in the same national team in a single World cup edition. France will face the winner of the quarterfinals between Belgium and Spain in the semifinals on Tuesday in Dallas.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Bro.
Host 3 (Joe)
Hey, let me tell you something. Belgium play tomorrow. Belgium plays Spain tomorrow. Right now, I want you to. I want you to see the difference on how far we are as. As a. As a nation when it comes to soccer and the way it should be played at the highest level, especially on the biggest stage. Now you see how Belgium made us look when we play, when they play the usa. Now watch how Spain makes Belgium look. Watch the difference so you can. You can. You can see, and it gives you a better idea for those who don't watch soccer, understand how far we have to go. Watch how Spain make them look tomorrow at 4:00'.
Shakur Stevenson
Clock.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah, I already know.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
He has three assists. He has three assists because he assisted Them belly.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Hey, hey, you see the goal Mbappe made when he had spin that thing around that Moroccan player?
Martha (Kohler Ambassador)
Yeah.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I mean, it's amazing how they do that, man.
Shakur Stevenson
Yeah.
Host 3 (Joe)
And Joe, listen, it obviously, it's all technique, right? But also the Moroccan player, because they're close, and inside 18, you notice he closed. He didn't close out. What you call it in basketball?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Host 3 (Joe)
He was scared. He was scared to close out. I know. I'm saying, because the closer you get to Mbappe, he'll go right by you.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
So you got.
Host 3 (Joe)
You got to keep some type of distance, man. He curled that thing right on.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
That's the difference. Especially for us, for. For the Americans. We don't got guys who can win one on ones like that, bro.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
One on one with him.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
He's scoring that thing, huh?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah.
Host 3 (Joe)
No, Joe, you notice every time you get the ball, the first thing you do, he face up whoever it is and go right at him. Ocho, go right at him. Dembelega do the same thing. Hell, most of their players do the same thing. Even if it's two people. They'll manipulate the space, fake one way and go the other and just go, hey, we didn't have that once. One time in the game when we played against Belgium. Not one.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I think the thing is, what I've noticed, every team's best player, they showed up. Yeah. If you go back and look at. Look at. Look at Spain and look at Mexico, you look at everybody team, for the most part, 90 of the time, their best player showed up. You look at Belgium, their best player, he showed up. You look at France, he shows up. Messi shows up. I mean, I mean, our best player, Zena, was. Was off the check. I mean, I mean, what's he at now? 28 million subs from 40.
Host 3 (Joe)
46,000, probably.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I mean, followers.
Shakur Stevenson
Hey, listen.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah, hey, our. Our best player was Pulisic. And Pulisic, when he plays at his club team in Italy, I see him
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
all the time face up and take
Host 3 (Joe)
a. I see him face up and take people on, Joe. I see face up and take people
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
on all the time.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
So you saying he can.
Commercial Voice
He can.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
He can.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
He can create in little small type.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah, but what happened? What happened?
Shakur Stevenson
Hold on.
Host 3 (Joe)
Pulisic. Fast as hell. But I don't understand. He was. He was playing so. He was playing so timid. He was playing scared. He lost the ball 11 times. Joe, this ain't.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
This ain't.
Host 3 (Joe)
This ain't. This ain't. You soccer and you soccer, you lose the ball 11 times at the World Cup. Okay. One or two mistakes. Okay, I get it. That happens 11 times.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah. And all.
Host 3 (Joe)
And they knock a.
Shakur Stevenson
They.
Host 3 (Joe)
They knocking him off the ball so easy. I'm like.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
And then you hear him after the game, so nonchalant. Oh, my goodness. Even before the game, Joe, he took a. And Ocho, he took all this time off. He wanted to rest. He wanted to be, you know, he want to be. I want to be, you know, ready for refresh so I can go into the World Cup. Bro, you should have kept playing.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah.
Host 3 (Joe)
Oh, you talking about when he missed the Gold Cup?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah. Nah, you can't do that, man. You. If. If you take time to rest, boy. Hey, I'm expecting. I ain't say you got to be up there with him, Mbappe and Messi, but I need you to have at least two or three. At least three, four goals.
Host 3 (Joe)
No, no, he. He's supposed to be our one impact player. Obviously, we have other players, you know, that are good, but Plulisic is. He's our starboy. He's our stubborn. He just is. I mean, some people in the chat will probably say, oh, he's not our best player. Okay, whatever you may say, he is our poster child. He is. So you expect him to show up in moments when he. When we need it most because he looked good against everybody else. He look good against Paraguay.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Hey,
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
all he had was an assist. If you go back and look at it, Billigon and. And Tillman were our best players.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah, yeah, they. Yeah, they. They. They play well. They play well.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Hey, hey, man, y' all know it's levels to this, bro.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Best player, best player on paper. Best player playing. Those are two different things. So maybe he was our best player on paper. Maybe he was supposed to be our guy, but he wasn't.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah, I think he. He had to be hurt on.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Well, they said he hurt his leg against Belgium, but what about the other games before they played Belgium? That he looked like stir fry. Okay, I get it. Okay? They say he got a. A, A micro fracture or something like that. He's gonna miss a couple of weeks. Okay, let's say. Let's take him and the team at their word. He's hurt. He got hurt against Belgium. What about the other games? And we're gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. Ocho and Joe, he's hurt, right? He got hurt against Belgium, but he didn't play well in any of the games. Bella Gun. Like I said, Bella Gun and Tillman were our best Players.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Yeah.
Host 3 (Joe)
Yeah. Well, they. Hey, hey, buddy.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Hey.
Host 3 (Joe)
But that's fool's gold. But. Well, they had me going them first

Shakur Stevenson

Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You ain't supposed to get out of that. Yeah, but this. Nah.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
No, no.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Stop making excuses. If you're hurt, sit down. Because guess what? All they see is that name on the back of the jersey. If you go out there, have. Nobody wants to hear about that, you don't get credit for what he hurt. Okay, so what? So what? You become a hero by doing something valiant while you're injured or while you're down. We'll get back to that in a second. We got a very special guest.

See terms Joining us tonight, here he is. Comes off a dominant unanimous decision victory over Teofimo Lopez and the super lightweight title file sold out Madison Square Garden in January, earned him a world championship in his fourth weight class. Further cemented his place among boxing pound for pound elite. Harry is Shakur Stevenson. Shakur, how you doing, bro? You muted.
Host 3 (Joe)
He muted.
Shakur Stevenson
All right. You hear me?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got you. How you doing, bro?
Shakur Stevenson
What up?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Give us the good. Give us the good news. What what transpired. So is reported that you're joining Zofa Boxing. Explain to our people in the chat and our listeners and our viewers what it what Zephyr, what is that? And. And what's your role in it now?
Shakur Stevenson
Zoof is on a company that's ran by Dana White and Nick Khan. Nikon does the wwe, but he's now with Zufa and Dana White is with ufc, but he's now entering boxing too. So it's an amazing company. I mean, I'm the leader of the company. I'm the next, the biggest name with the company. And now that I'm here, it's like they got the best of the best with them. So it's all good.
Host 3 (Joe)
Now
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
what. What was your decision? What went in your decision? Because like you said, it is a new company. And here you are, you got a championship in four different weight classes. Like you said, you are the biggest name. Normally are people that with big names, they're like, okay, let me wait, let me see how this thing shake out. Let me let him get all the kinks out. And then once I see his flourishing, I'll go over there. Then why were you so willing to put your name in the situation with a very, very young company?
Shakur Stevenson
I mean, first priority is I love to get paid. I love getting money. So at the end of the day, that's what a lot of people said. I wouldn't be in this position. They said I was boring. They said my style is this. But now that we here, I could sit here and tell y', all, I told y' all so. But other than that. But other than that, also, I want the big fights. And they got a big vision for me. And they big vision was put me in the ring with the big guys like the Devin Haneys, the Javante, Tank Davis, and that's the. That I live for. That's the. That I'm in boxing for. And I can't wait to show my worth.
Host 3 (Joe)
And listen, I'm glad you said that. I'm glad you called out two names, obviously. Tank Davis, Devin Haney. But the problem is, and one for me, being a boxing purist and loving. Loving the sport, loving you as one of one of my favorite fighters and being able to watch now that I know exactly what I'm watching, being able to critique and analyze you round by round. What is so difficult about making these fights happen? Why is it so difficult for. For. Obviously, we know Tank is having this issues, but Devin Haney, I see you and him sometime go back and forth on. On X most of the time. Why is it so difficult? Is it too. Too many moving parts? Is the money right? Is the money not right?
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
What.
Medical Ad Narrator
What.
Host 3 (Joe)
What's taking so long for. For us as fans?
Shakur Stevenson
I don't think nothing is taking so long no more. I think right now is the right time. I think everything is in the cards of our favor and there's no excuses for why that fight can't happen next. I think me and Devin should be the fight that happened next. I agree to 144 and he said he agreed to it. So now if he do his part, I'm gonna do my part, and let's make it happen.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Why the catch weight, though? Shakur why the catch weight? Why not? Why not 40? I don't know if he can go back down to 35. But why, why, why 44? Why not 40 or 47?
Shakur Stevenson
Oh, 40. I will be bringing him down and draining him and then we would have excuses about why. And then 147, he's. I'm not a 47 pound. I'm a 35 pounder, naturally. Like, I can still make 35 easily, but I'm willing to take risks. Like, I don't give a that he's gonna get in the ring 20 pounds bigger. I'm gonna beat him while he's 20 pounds bigger, and that's gonna make my win even greater. So he agreed to 144. I agree to it, and now we're here. Let's do it.
Host 3 (Joe)
And matter of fact, and also, if this doesn't happen right as soon, I'm not sure how long of a layoff you would like, how many times you want to actually fight this year? If David, if Devin Haney and his pops and his in his team take too long, Is there anywhere else, anywhere else in mind that you would, would you. You would love to fight before the year?
Shakur Stevenson
Yeah, I like the, the fighters like the Gary Russells and the Lamont Roaches. And honestly, like, speaking like I'm at a point in my career that I don't need nobody. I don Devin Haney, I don't need Javante, Tank Davis. I can make millions and millions of dollars now with Zoo for boxing and fight big names like Gary, Antoine Russell and Lamar Rose. I'm into the sport for this reason that now I'm. I'm top dog now. So it feels good.
Host 3 (Joe)
I like that. So you are the A side now, Obviously, the, The game is. It's called prize fighting. And now you're in a position to where you're able to, you know, be the shot caller and pick and choose who you want to fight. And I mean, hell, I tell you, I'm excited. I'm excited for you. Congratulations. And I'm looking forward to whether it's Gary, I mean, whether it's Tank somewhere down the line, or Devin Haney. I hope it happened before the year is out.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Hey, hey, hey, Shakur.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
What's up, bro?
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
I see you shining over there. Ain't your man. Yeah, yeah.
Shakur Stevenson
Hey, hey.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
Take me, take me to fight night, bro. Take me to fight night. What goes through your mind, like the anxiety, you know, before you go out in the ring, what you telling yourself, you know, before when you taking that walk to the ring. What. What is it like? What's going through you?
Shakur Stevenson
I ain't gonna lie. My last few fights, it felt like destiny. I ain't really had too much anxiety. I wasn't too nervous. It felt like I was meant to be where I was supposed to be. And I let destiny take care of itself. So I turned into a different mold come fight night. Like, I know they see the me of that guy. And you go, watch my face before the fight. You seen my face. Go look at Teoface. You just see who was going, winning, who was gonna lose. It was all written right over. Right over us. So, man, I'm the best in the world, and I can't wait to show why I'm the best in the world. Under them bright lights, any of these guys get in front of me, I'm coming to perform.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Okay, let me ask you this. By you joining Zephyr, does it make it more difficult? Because people gonna say now, well, his. Their side is going to say, well, we want this. And your side is gonna say, no, you can't have that because we got the a fighter. You're the.
Shakur Stevenson
Boxing don't work this way no more, man. That's. At the end of the day, all of us is under one umbrella. All of us is with Turkey. Turkey brings all these guys, okay? When they in one room, we all can do business with one another. So if anybody don't want to fight, they scared to fight. And that's the God's honest truth.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Okay? That's what I like to hear, because these are the fights. And, look, Ocho is our boxing aficionado, but I grew up in the 80s, and I remember the Four Kings, and I remember the 70s with all the heavyweights. They fought everybody.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
And.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
And then you had Sugar Ray and Hearns and. And Duran and Iran, Barkley and Mark. They fought and they fought everybody. You guys are in an era because like you said yourself and Tank, Davis and Russell and Roach and Haney, you guys should be fighting. And there's money to be made. People want to see the best fight, the best. And then we get determined. Hey, all I know is in the. In the 2000s, man. Man, tank and Shakur, boy, they got down.
Shakur Stevenson
I been told y' all that I was one of the best fighters in the world. A lot of people ain't believe me. Well, now we here. Opportunity is here. And if any of these guys want to smoke with me, I'm right here. I'm not ducking.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
But, Shakur, you saying that. Let me Ask you a question. If people had. If you had never saw. If Jordan had never played and he says, I'm the best basketball player, would you have believed it? He had to show you. Or Shaq or Kobe says I'm the best without showing it, you're not going.
Shakur Stevenson
I agree with you. If the writing been on the wall the whole time and I showed it and y' all just ain't.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I can't read.
Shakur Stevenson
And then you blind in the. You blind in the. It already been there. Tia FEMA was. Was an example. I made an example out of him. And these guys are gonna get examples made out of them, too.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Well, that's what we would like to hear. We like to see that fight. So if. Is it possible we could get one of those? I know. Ocho, you. You mentioned it could. If there's something that we could get because you fought Teofimo and I think January. Is that possible. We can get another fight, say, like September.
Shakur Stevenson
40 years out, I'm fighting. I. I do. I fight twice a year. That's what I do. So before the years out, any of these guys, if they. They ready to sign a dotted line, any one of them, I'm ready right this second.
Host 3 (Joe)
And the good. The good thing about it is what I like about what Turkey's also done and obviously Dana White and Zufa. Boxing is the money's so good now that there should be no reason why the fight can't happen. So we can't. It's called prize fighting for the reason. And we have people in the game now that are paying these fighters to make these fights happen that we as. As fans, want to see. So I'm excited, You know, Brother Haney. Mr. Haney. Should be.
Shakur Stevenson
No reason.
Host 3 (Joe)
You know, there's really no reading stall 144. It is. And I mean, let's get it on, you know, in the meantime, right now, anyway. Okay.
Shakur Stevenson
Okay, man, you got to go pay attention to them fights. You just, you know, you. You kind of behind right now. Go watch some fights, and it'll show you everything you need to see.
Host 3 (Joe)
I'm a teacher. I'm a teacher. You don't know what he is.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I'm not seeing. I think the thing is that we're saying what you. There's something getting lost in translation. I'm not saying that you're not a great fighter, that you're not a. A champion. I'm not saying that. But I think people won't. And you do a great job of hitting and not getting hit, but I think Sometimes people want to see you put yourself in harm's way and get down. And I'm not saying look. And that's what you. You have to do. Sometimes you're gonna have.
Shakur Stevenson
When you step in that ring, you in harm's way.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I disagree with that. Okay, go ahead.
Shakur Stevenson
If you put on the boxing gloves before, you'll understand that when you step in that square, circle you in harm's way. And.
Host 2 (Ocho Cinco)
And.
Shakur Stevenson
And when you go watch my last fight, since you saying you. I don't put myself in harm's way. Who was backing up? Me and Tio.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Are you back?
Shakur Stevenson
Who's backing up?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You backed him up.
Host 3 (Joe)
Hey, you said. You said you was gonna do that, too. I asked the question.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You were, but when. I think. I never thought you could. I didn't think you could lose the Teofimo. Now, if you back up Tank, you back up Haney, you back up those guys. I'm gonna come over here and say, ocho, he made me. He proved me to be a liar. I said he wasn't.
Shakur Stevenson
He wouldn't have bet. He would have never bet no money that I was gonna be Tia female. The way that I beat him.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yes, I would have.
Shakur Stevenson
The way that I beat him. No, you wouldn't.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
No, no, no. Nobody. Ain't nobody beat him bad.
Shakur Stevenson
Ain't nobody better.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You were gonna win the fight, Shakur. I can't. I don't think I was going prize pick a polymarker to somebody and say, well, how bad is he gonna beat him? And, well, he gonna beat him this bad. And then I would have. I would have bet money that you would have won.
Shakur Stevenson
They said I was gonna run. Who ran?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
But if you. If you win, it doesn't at the end of the day, if you win. But for me, I think for me, I'm just like. I've seen guys your size fight. Mayweather coming up through the ranks and was flooring people till his hands became brittle. And I watched Sugar Ray and I watched.
Shakur Stevenson
What I'm confused about is now it sounds like you're downplaying Tio. Like, it sounds like this is a downplaying, like who Tio is. I mean, to done showed you how great he is in other fights. Why wasn't he that great that night?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I'm not saying he's not.
Shakur Stevenson
And we could talk about the way that you fight. No, I'm not into hitting and being hit, if that's what you're asking me. I won't do that. I will hit.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Are you. Are you so. So Are you trying to be. Are you trying to be? When they talk about lightweights and super lightweights and, and, and, and, and junior welderweights, are you trying to be in that shoe?
Shakur Stevenson
I'm not comparing myself to none of these dudes. I'm trying to be the first Shakur Stevenson you want at the end of my career.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I don't believe you're gonna say rank. You like that.
Shakur Stevenson
You're gonna say, why was his fight so easy? Why wasn't he hurt? Why was.
Tab Ramos
Why?
Host 3 (Joe)
Oh.
Shakur Stevenson
Cause I'm that great? That's what you want to say?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
We're not saying that you're not great, Shakur, but I don't believe. And this is me, this is my opinion. Joe has his opinion. Ocho believed you hung the moon. I don't believe that you're going to get the credit you deserve without knocking people out.
Shakur Stevenson
That's why. That's why you never boxed before.
Host 3 (Joe)
That's not boxing.
Shakur Stevenson
That's how I know you never boxed before. You could talk about Floyd Mayweather, you can say the guys that he knocked out, but in the tail end of his prom, he wasn't just knocking guys out. This is not true.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
No, because his hands got brittle.
Shakur Stevenson
Exactly. I got hand problems, too. What's the. What's the difference?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I didn't know that. My bad, everybody.
Shakur Stevenson
That's why you ain't been doing your homework. Gotta do your homework.
Host 3 (Joe)
Hey, but hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I mean, listen, I love boxing, Joe. I'm sure you watch it. You watch it as well. But boxing is more than just knockouts. Now, knockouts, being able to have it is really good. Like being a guy, being a slugger in baseball and hitting home runs, the fans love it. But most of the time, when it comes to some of the greats, that's not all boxing is. They call it the street science.
Shakur Stevenson
Oh, you're just not into. You got to get in tune, Man. You got all abs.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I grew up in. But. But you can't. You can't say just because I don't like your style that I don't know why you don't. I grew up in an era with sugar rating. It was not.
Shakur Stevenson
You just told me that I don't put myself in harm's way by getting in the ring. Me. That's what you told me. That let me know that you don't do your homework.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You talk about one fight, you talk about tfimo.
Shakur Stevenson
What about all the other fights?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
I was wondering one thing. Am I the only one that's ever said that about your fighting style, yes or no?
Shakur Stevenson
A lot of people that don't know boxing say that.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
No, no, no, no. Am I the only one.
Shakur Stevenson
Use a public opinion for casuals.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
No, no.
Shakur Stevenson
Are you the only casual that said this? No, you are not. Are you the only casual that said this? No, you are not.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Let me ask you a question. So no other fighter has said that about your fighting style that they're not. They're not happy with your fighting style?
Shakur Stevenson
Fighters praise my fighting style. You know how many fighters wish they could fight like me? Can I talk? You know how many people go home. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Gotta go to the doctor. Gotta go get their brain checked out. Gotta go. They wish they could do what I do. They pray like, I wish I had them skills. If I had them skills, they will go home to their family safely. None. People don't go to the family safely. Huh.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
So no boxer? No boxer. No guy that's ever fought has said anything that I've said about your fighting style?
Shakur Stevenson
You asking a subjective question. I can't tell you. I'm telling you that. You sound like you're subjected.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Why are you getting so upset with me?
Shakur Stevenson
We debating. We having a good debate. Oh, I called you off 100 times. I mean, I look at you like, right?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
So I got respect for you, but
Shakur Stevenson
I don't got respect for you not doing your homework. I don't got respect for that. Do your homework and stop getting asked.
Host 3 (Joe)
You say you're getting f. You gotta
Shakur Stevenson
have all your homework.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
You said, okay. It's hard for me to believe all the fighters that I can remember that, that people put a place up high, were entertaining. They put that they. They.
Shakur Stevenson

Shakur Stevenson
You ever got into a fight? Hey. Have you ever got into a fight?
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Yeah. But a street fight on the boxing match is something entirely different. It ain't no rules. They're rules in boxing.
Shakur Stevenson
A boxing fight lasts 36 minutes. You fighting in the street fight for a minute, top, 30 seconds exactly.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
Hold up, you think. Hold up. This second, going to distance.
Shakur Stevenson

Shakur Stevenson

Host 3 (Joe)
Hey, I gotta see this, man. We gotta set it up, man.
Host 1 (Joe Johnson)
We gotta set it up, Shakur. You just said you ain't got no problem making 140. If you ain't got no problem making 140, you probably walk around somewhere between
