  • Boy! Berbick died BAD too back home in J.A...

  • Berbick got wild eyes

  • go larry

    

  • i love it how the nigger just comes jumping off a car lol

  • I'll beat anyone in a street fight! *2 minutes later* Larry Holmes kicked me and punched me!

    lol what a pussy.

  • @adrenacrumb It's not smart to fight on camera especially when a fighter's fists are classed as deadly weapons.

  • @capablemachine Not entirely sure what your point is there.

  • @adrenacrumb If you want to have a lot of legal troubles and make your boxing career much less lucrative and a lot more difficult then by all means fight on the street like an idiot with cameras rolling.

  • @capablemachine And what does that have to do with my observation Berbick is talking tough saying he would kill him in a street fight and as soon as they start up Berbick starts crying to the police? Nearly all of the worlds greatest boxers have had some kind of fight outside of the ring so why would that make their career less lucrative exactly?

  • @adrenacrumb That your observation is moronic. The smart thing to do is not get caught on camera in an unsanctioned street fight because you can get sued, be suspended from boxing in a whatever state you are in, break your unwrapped hand and put a hold on any upcoming fights you have or get your boxing licence revoked. How lucrative do you suppose those things are to a fighter with no other skills?

  • @capablemachine Are you a troll or are you mentally retarded? If you are going to call someone out to a street fight like Berbick did then you don't go around talking about crying talking about how this person hit you, on camera or not. That is what a pussy does.

  • @adrenacrumb I'm someone with enough intelligence to know what professional boxing means. You are not, you think professional boxing is behaving like a 10 year old boy.

  • @capablemachine So when Ali tackled Frazier in the studio that wasn't what a professional boxer would do? How about Tyson biting Lewis or Lewis getting into a fight with Rhaman in studio. This behavior has made money for people in professional boxing long before you were born.

  • @adrenacrumb Ali considered it horseplay and they were both fined 5 grand their next fight earned them $850,000 each as compared to 2.5 million each for Ali - Frazier 1. Tyson biting Lewis did not generate any extra money because the and the fight had to be resanctioned and almost didn't happen, Tyson was also fined. Lewis and Rahman did not generate any interest because of some scuffle on Television.

  • @capablemachine Their 2nd fight wasn't for any title so they obviously weren't going to make as much money. Ali made boxing what it is, no one would have cared about it if it weren't for Ali and his mouth.

  • @capablemachine In fact I doubt anyone would even remotely care about professional boxing if fighters hadn't been using this same technique for decades. I'm honestly not sure you know anything about professional boxing at all, if you did you would know this behavior is prevalent in the sport.

  • @adrenacrumb 100% incorrect. Fighters used to barely speak and very few do nowadays Muhammad Ali was the exception to this. Having a hissy fit on television does not appeal to audiences as much as undefeated champions with good skills in unification bouts. Maybe people like yourself would be enthrawled by fakish WWE altercations but the vast majority of people enjoy a highlight reel and some background information on the fighters.

  • @capablemachine Holmes was one of the greatest boxers ever but couldn't make any money because he never talked or had much personality. Don King said people would pay more to see Ali watching a Holmes fight than a Holmes fight.

  • @capablemachine That example in and of itself shows how wrong you are. If people just wanted to see a great fighter and didn't care about controversy Holmes should have been one of the most viewed boxers ever, instead he went nearly completely unnoticed. Go learn some stuff.

  • @adrenacrumb No it doesn't. Holmes didn't get any benefit from doing this. He also was trying to fight Gerry Cooney in the 80's after the Leon Spinks fight. If he behaved like a professional and not some idiot he might have been marketable and he might have got a champion's percentage of the purse in that one.

  • @capablemachine Dude this is after his retirement, he didn't do anything like this during his career and never made money.

  • @adrenacrumb I just gave you an example of when he did try something similar, saying he was going to slap Gerry Cooney and knocking Howard Cosell down.

  • @capablemachine He made a shitload of money from that Cooney fight, probably his biggest payday.

  • @capablemachine The Cooney/Holmes fight was covered in the legendary fight night series just because of the attention it got, the match was hardly even talked about.

  • @capablemachine Well I think we have you properly marked as a troll, so well done there. Hope that works out for you.

  • @capablemachine And why is Tyson, who is the worst offender of this ever, the most paid boxer in history? What you are saying makes absolutely no sense.

  • @cholive14 Tyson was barred from boxing multiple times after 1988 and the fact is he should have been the world's first billion dollar athelete so he's missing about 700 million from his own silly antics. I think Holyfield, Golota, Orlin Noris were times he was banned and/or fined and there may have been two or three times he was banned or incarcerated for road rage incidents or similar.

  • @capablemachine Let's see how your logic plays out here. Dempsey, who was the first million dollar fighter earned ALL of his money from street fighting. He was jailed probably 50 times. Liston was jailed for armed robbery. Are you going to back up what you are saying at any point or are you just completely oblivious to reality?

  • @capablemachine There has hardlty been a heavyweight champ in the past 80 years who didn't do things like this on a regular basis or was jailed for felony crimes so how far are you having ot dig in your ass to say this? Holmes still won at least 10 heavyweight fights before that incident, you are telling me he never got views because of one incident?

  • @cholive14 What are you even talking about? A career isn't 10 heavyweight fights. There has hardly been a heavyweight champ who has done these things on a regular basis at all. The only fighter I can think of who came close to Tyson's antics was Sonny Liston and he was similarly outcast. The press conference brawl is a recent invention.

  • @capablemachine Defending the heavyweight title successfully 10 times is way more than most people's careers amount to. Title fights have always been where the money is at.

  • @capablemachine You do realize what you brought up was at the very ass end of Holmes' career right? Why didn't he get paid before doing anything like that at all?

  • @cholive14 The incident was in 1981 against Leon not in 1985 or 86' against Michael.

  • @capablemachine Professional boxing always has and always will be a shady sport, anyone who has even the slightest clue knows that, it has been corrupt since its beginning. Show me anyone with knowledge who says boxing has ever been some clean respectable sport and I will show you an idiot or a liar.

  • @cholive14 Who mentioned corruption? No one.

  • @capablemachine Joe Louis is one of the few boxers I can think of that was close to a gentleman and he left boxing completely broke. Who are all these nice boxers making tons of money?

  • JJJJ

    

  • I miss boxing so much

  • Aww Shit Here It Is. Lol. @1:32

  • LMFAO..WWE should sign him!

  • @FreshTiDef shame berbicks dead
