Hi guys, here's my interview with Michael b Jordan about the upcoming Creed film. I'l post the one with the director tonight.

having this type of access with a 53 view video kinda gets my brain going :patrice:

no offense. how easy was it to become relevant enough to get credentialed to things like this?

Not easy at all. I go to everything I can on the west coast and in Vegas. I write, shoot photos, podcast and shoot and edit my own video. I am self-taught and self funded and had ZERO contacts in boxing. I'm not afraid of hardwork and made a point of finding mentors EARLY.
From 2012 - 2014 I had ZERO people writing for me or adding any other content, I did it all. These days I still do 80% of the front end work and ALL of the back end work.

What I did do? Get out there, shut my mouth, open my ears and learn. When I'm up late at night, I'm watching videos, searching the web, shooting mock videos, doing all sorts of stuff. I make it a point to put out the best quality I can with the tools I've been provided and from to time it catches someone's eye. I make it a point to follow social media trends, key players in the industry, and current events. Bottom line, I'm smart. That sounds hella egomaniacal but don't care because it's true.

I am social and outgoing and I don't let my ego get in the way of what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm humble, I ask questions, I work HARD and I'm considerate.

As far as this goes, the PR people for the movie set up the camera, the seating etc. They shot the video from my perspective and his perspective. I took the video they gave me and edited myself. I majored in communications/PR and have an extensive background in Human Resources. I worked in Human Resources for 10 years so I know how to deal with people.

With regards to credentials, I don't get credentialed to everything I apply for. I just figure nothing beats a fail but a try. I do the best I can with what I have.

this kkk vs pascal 2 is strange, what did pascal learn from the 1st fight, i hope he has learnt something and surprises me or us.
To be fair he did have a couple moments and Kovalev acknowledged as much when he said Pascal doesn't have any heart. In other words he had moments where he legitimately surprised Kovalev, even hurt him a little bit, but he didn't have the heart to fully engage and take a chance. It's one thing to be Floyd and outbox the sh!t outta an opponent. It's another thing to be above mediocre, but not elite, with athleticism making up for the skills one lacks. If you're that person, then you need to put your balls on the line and go there. Otherwise you're just their for a paycheck wasting my time and buzz, and just giving your opponent another digit in the W column. It's especially corny after poppin all that sh!t during the promo tour.

Still, I agree with you, in this fight makes as much sense as Rousey/Tate 3 or even Bradley/Pac III, or Marquez/Pac V, or Rios/Aladerado IV, or Debbie Does Dallas Midgets Edition, etc..

to me its the most unnecesary of rematches..the fight wasnt close or controversial

i guess this time around kovalev is going to commit another ring fatality because judging from pascal's last fight..he didnt learn shyt :francis:

Even if he has learned something, what can he do to get out of his shytty style? He sucks into punches, moves into terrible spots efc etc

Boxing won tonight, Holly Holm is originally a boxer :blessed:
lol been some backlash on ol fishnets from female boxers on social media since Holm sent Ronda to the bushes...

Oscar deserves it tho... so fukking disrespectful to the women of boxing who bust their ass, and get no love what so ever in the states, you would think a fellow boxer would look out for them since hes head of a boxing magazine...but nope:francis:
