 So, so Don shook everybody's hand at the table and fast forward 10 years, 12 years. I'm sitting in federal prison and boxing come across my mind. I'm writing my autobiography and I was like, wow, what would have happened that day if you had told Don King, you had $3 million and you was willing to give him all that money to take you with him? Where would you be at today? Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. Yeah, we gonna talk. Yeah, we gonna talk. Man, we here in Los Angeles, California, man, we, hey, I didn't ran into a GM in here. My guy, T-Way, Ricky Ross, he's gonna get there. Man, thank you for coming on the show, man. We doing it again. Man, I love doing it too, man. It's something else, man, about like when you come, when I come out here now, every time I've been out here and did Boss Talk, I always get to interview freeway. That's my highlight moment. So I was kind of nervous because I was like, man, am I gonna get him? They said he out of town. He in Vegas. I said, why the hell are you playing that? I just went to Vegas, you know, Top Rank had a fight Thursday with Telethimo and I went up there because one of my guys, Troy Isley, assigned to Top Rank. So I'm helping him now, showing him how to market himself. Great fight, bronze medalist, but I don't believe that he is getting to do respect he should get. So he hollered at me down in Lafayette, Louisiana. I was down at the National Scouting Fighters, looking on the rocks and looking for the next youngster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand that the next one is going to come for the Nationals. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The next great one is going to come out of them Nationals. You've been focused on that like crazy ever since you came home, ever since you've been there. You just spoke, you tapped in the box and what made you just get in the boxing like that? It's a long story. I'm here. I was in Vegas one year. I think it was Marvin Haggler and Sugar Raven in the fight. Okay, okay, back then. Yeah. We were at Caesar's Palace in Don King. Yeah, yeah. He came up to the table and he shook everybody hand at the table. He was a bunch of us from LA. We had a great big table, plenty of food. Plenty of food, everything. Pretty girls. Hey! You know what I'm saying? He couldn't miss us. Nobody used to walk up to the casino. And you know, some of the guys at the table is the inventors of this big medallions that you see people wearing now. These were the first guys. Matter of fact, my guy, Tommy, the first time I saw his, I thought it was a hubcap of a car. Wow, is that big? I remember when they was wearing like the Ben sign. You remember that? I think his was a Ben sign. The Ben. They would put the big Ben emblem. Some of them were snatching them off cars. I remember, believe it or not. No, no, no, no, no, no. They were coming down. They were coming down. They were coming down. But the youngsters seen it and they were so amazed by it. They started jerking them off cars and wearing them. I'm telling you, I remember that. I wouldn't doubt it. I wouldn't doubt it. Because they was mimicking what they were seeing and what you were just saying. Right, right. And that's something about influences like, man, they see it and they try to do it. They want to be it. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Absolutely. So Don shook everybody hand at the table. And fast forward to 10 years, 12 years. I'm sitting in federal prison and boxing come across my mind. I'm writing my autobiography and I was like, wow, what would have happened that day if you had told Don King, you had $3 million and you was willing to give him all that money to take you with him? Where would you be at today? And, you know, I look back at all the stuff Don King had did, you know, the Mike Tyson. This was before Mike Tyson was even before he was champion. Before Mike Tyson was even nobody. Nobody knew him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, so and so many other great fighters that Don King had that came after that incident. You know, I knew that I would have been able to get in and bring some type of value to it. My goal is anybody that I mess with is to bring value to him. You know, they want to interview with you right now. Oh man. I want to bring value to him. I always do. To what you're doing. If I can't bring value, why am I here? Right, right. You know, what, what, what, what good is it? So when I was writing my book and I thought about it and I was like, wow, you probably wouldn't even be in prison right now. All right, if you had $3 million. I had it. I had it. I had the money. You just didn't do it. I just didn't give it. Your mindset wasn't there. Wasn't focused on that at the time? No, I just didn't know. You know, nobody explained the future to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had investments. You know, I had motels, tire shops, beauty salons, what I had never thought about. You could be a boxing promoter. But you think about it when you're sitting in prison and you can think about a lot of things. Yeah, you might get real clear. So people slap a life sentence on you. Oh, man. You start thinking about a whole lot of good stuff that you're going to miss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember some guys going through some things. They said, yeah, man, come on, ride with me. People would take you a little ride. You're just thinking about things that was going on in the world. Yeah. You know, when you're locked up, you're not going out there, but your mind can take you there. So that's what you're explaining. Oh, absolutely. You know what I mean? Your mind is super powerful. And, you know, and that's one of the other things that I learned is to allow yourself to dream. Yeah. You know, and that's one of the things that I really feel, we as black people have lost our ability to dream. Man. And a dream is vision. Yeah, yeah. You know, a dream is something saying that this is possible. Your mind is telling you that this is possible, that you could accomplish this goal. Have you ever had a chance to read that article they did in LA Magazine on me? When did they do it? 2013. No, I didn't read it. What was it about? Like, what did it capture? Man. When he came to interview me, he was writing my bituary. Wow. He said he was writing my bituary. And I was telling him about my business plan. He said, oh, you writing a business plan and you dead. What the hell are you doing with a business plan? You don't need no business plan. You need a funeral. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I was laying out my business plan. Oh, I'm going to get in the boxing. Or I'm going to have a clothing line. Or I'm going to do a movie. Or I'm going to have books. Or I'm going to have mixed tapes. I'm going to be working with rappers. I'm going to do concerts. Wow. Visionary. That's the thing, man. Like, when you look at where you come from, the trifectas, the things that you went through to get to where we at now, nobody could have wrote that. No way. No way. Nobody sees you doing everything that you've embodied over a span of, like, life. I didn't see it. No way you could see it. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. It starts to come gradually. Now, you have the first vision, right? But that vision can be altered. Yeah. You know, can be made bigger, made brighter. Yeah. So, no, I didn't know. I mean, I never thought. Because I ended my time up in Texas. Yeah. So being in Texas, I no longer got LA newspaper, LA news. When I get out of jail, I don't even know where that one is legal.
