    "They’ve come up in a time where the heavyweight division is non-important. So they (promoters) try to create these guys and trick people into thinking there’s something special happening as far as fights go and there is not. This is something I’m not proud of. I’m a promoter in the boxing business. It ain’t about the Recession unless you want to bull**** yourself. It could be clear and if the heavyweight division is like it is today, who cares? We need that excitement. But if that excitement is gonna come, I don’t know".

    "A promoter’s only hope with the Klitschko’s is that maybe they’re underestimating a guy, the dark horse. Like Buster Douglas and Mike Tyson. They got to create a reality to make something happen. You got nothing to make soup; you still try to make something out of nothing, even if it’s hot water and some salt".


    So when you got a Floyd Mayweather telling everyone he’s a silverback gorilla? Doesn’t he know the significance in white folks using that name? See **** is not the only name that was used. **** to me means ignorant, and I still don’t use it because to me it didn’t mean a color even though it was used like that.

    But when I see high-profile athletes who have the power to guide young fighters watching, who feel they need the Bentleys and to throw money, it’s what I have to deal with to show I’m not ignorant. And that’s whether I’m with Ross Greenburg [HBO] or other business, I’m no silverback gorilla. To some that’s funny. Some think its good TV. But my mom always said there’s people that laugh with you, and those that laugh at you. My opinion? They laughing at you, dog.

    A silverback gorilla is a powerful animal. You’re a n***a with money. And you’re crazy, but a silverback is dominant. So when you say silverback gorilla ****, dog you think that’s kosher? But it is that mentality. Floyd just don’t know his history. He’s blinded by the business thinking that makes you a man. My 17,000 square foot, 6 acre house in Delaware doesn’t make me. That’s not my God. I’m glad to have it, yes. But I don’t worship my cars, watch, clothes, or anything. When you get caught up in that it’s very hard to reprogram it back.

    Shout out to B-Hop. He better kick Roy's ass when they finally meet again in the squared circle. And, yes, we already know the Klitschko sisters ain't **** and their relatively undersized opponents really ain't **** . . . and just because you pour syrup on **** don't make it pancakes . . . and Floyd is a ham.

    I don't remember him ever using the word silverback and floyd does seem to worship God, after all after every fight the first thing he says is 'I would like to fight God for this victory.' He also said what God gave you he can just as easily take it away.

    B-hop is right about the HW division. It is non-important.

    The lightheavy division means even less. The cruiser division means less still.

    Bernard's division has even less depth, not only that but the last guy he fought is a middleweight, a year ago and now he's fighting Ornelas and an old Roy Jones jr. who is still going to beat him. Before that it was a boring loss and a boring win. BHop is classless and racist and his tone would be much different if the Klitschkos were American and Black or if they were promoted by Golden Boy.
