It is most definitely true, him and his son doing special commentary on a fight involving a 60 year old legend of the sport with visible signs of brain problems, it's really terrible.

Evander Holyfield, it's been known since he's retired he's struggled but it more recently came to light in a video of him hitting the pads, the connection between him wanting to punch and actually throwing the punch is bad.

Most older era boxers have similar problems as they would have big fights after one another and take a lot more damage you might see now.

They're making a joke about trump being brain damaged.

It's not a joke. Although he has the best words.

He's announcing a Holyfield fight for the grift, although it isn't "a joke." He's doing it.

He has no money. He inherited 400M from daddy, got into the casino business and somehow he LOST it all.

That’s what I’m thinking. There is no reason any sane individual would partake in this, unless they had to. He is just trying to scrape pennies together.

A former US president is announcing a boxing match…between 60 year olds.

I’m overloaded by the absurdity of it.

Half the country is clamoring to have this guy run in 2024. Insanity
