Even in the early 2000s, they used to come out with movies and so on and so forth where you could say faggot and all these things.

You can't say that no more.

Yeah, you can say gay.

You can say faggot, retarded.

You can't say, let's say nigga, because I'm from Brooklyn.

But people get upset.

I don't understand this shit.

It's just because of, you know what it really takes as a professional fighter, but to really hold it down for everybody.

I got people from the pen anywhere across the nation, not even New York, that really respect and love what I'm doing.

That's a real nigga.

That's a real person.

That's what it means.

See, when you think of, I even think,

what's it called you had uh Eazy-E's son you know he's he makes a funny joke about it but it's true black and brown is how you get down and what are we getting September 13th black and brown is how we're gonna get down for boxing against Canelo versus Crawford you know and and it's still there but it's somewhat in the surface and I think that's not right but I gotta adjust to it because if not you get um so-called canceled or eliminated you lose sponsors you lose money right

It's not even that.

It's just that now people think that you're difficult to work with, but you're making it, right?

There's no such thing as bad publicity until you rape a child or until you hit a woman in a man's perspective, right?

Or you murder somebody and go to jail, right, for life.

I think I hold those things as, as yeah, you know, definitely.

But, you know, help me out.
