    Can't stand listening to Bernard. He used to get to the point much quicker. Now I can't listen to him.

    I've actually never liked Hopkins's personality or his fights much TBH.

    Great fighter but can't really stand him much personally.

    I have no clue where Hopkins was trying to get at with this interview the more he was talking. I guess Joe Smith’s punches really did do some serious damage to Hopkins’ brain.

    Good old Bernie. Endearing as ever. Not sure what's worse to watch, his interviews or his fights.

    "How does this position you as a company?" That's what he asks Hopkins after that rant? :rolleyes:

    Bernard owns shares. He shows up when people say we need you to stand here when they take pictures. Clearly, he isn't standing in front of a dry erase board with a marker in his hand plotting out the corporate strategy of Golden Boy. If Bernard stood up at a meeting to speak, he'd go on for a half hour about, "Why do they call this a white board? I'm not white. I'm on the board."

    Bernard talks like one of those prison philosophers. When you're in jail and afraid, you nod and smile when someone rants like that. When you're not in jail, people just walk away, roll their eyes.

    Just saying there’s nothing to say. One thing that never changes is that things are always changing. We move on. One door closes another opens etc etc. The hustle continues.

    He’s no longer coherent. He always was prone to ranting but it has gotten a lot worse.

    He talks a lot and some of the things he says look like nonsense.

    But he's right. Showtime leaving the business is not good or bad, it is just a change. The absence of change is impossible, so sooner or later change will happen and real men are not afraid of change, they embrace it. So dont be a sucker, man up and stop crying about showtime.

    Old bernard is right.

    And yes, he probably can be a dickhead most of the time, but when he's right he's right, even if he babbles while being right.

    Anyone that blames covid for anything and generalizes like that, I immediately dismiss. The conspiracy theorists are out of their minds. Yeah and "they" are trying to control our minds with 5G.

    I don't know why someone as blatantly racist as Bhop is hasn't been "cancelled" yet. The guy is trash.

    It's not difficult to understand what he's saying.

    He simply said to stop acting like beta bitches and embrace changeinstead of acting hysterical, as the only thing consistent is change.

    He also acknowledged that the powers that be are controlling everything, from politics to diseases and cures and even entertainment.

    He didn't lie.

    Curtis Mayfield? The guy who did the Super Fly soundtrack?

    More action in the interview than the fight.

    That's exactly what it is. Next he's gonna explain why addiction is a "dis-ease" (no, get it? Dis ease, like anti-ease) and read a bunch of definitions out of the dictionary.
