    You can tell in 15-20 years, when Ariel begins to actually think about his health and future, when Ariel can make a decent paycheck again after coronavirus, Ariel will finally understand that Bob Sapp was way smarter than him.

  • @RazgrizStraitz
    @RazgrizStraitz 4 года назад +4

    *Bob Sapp is smart. Joe Rogan called him a genius, he gets in the ring for just a few seconds or minutes and walks away with the solid chunk of $30,000. He doesn't care about these questions, he just puts on a show, and he has to pretend he for sure is not throwing the fight so his career isn't shut down, GOOD FOR HIM. He's making the big buck and keeping his brain intact.*

  • @greengrowlocks566
    @greengrowlocks566 2 года назад +4

    I admire Bob for understanding his situation in the fight world. I think he is a normal dude that just happens to look scary with freak genetics. Fighting came as an opportunity to make money and the rest is history.

  • @fabiogaucho77
    @fabiogaucho77 8 лет назад +3

    25:48. There. He explained what is going on. That should have ended this discussion about whether he is "throwing" fights.

  • @zerohellix
    @zerohellix 8 лет назад +16

    I got it, Bob Sapp is an actor, but that doesn't excuse him for acting like a lunatic after being asked simple questions over a radio show. There are plenty of actors in Hollywood, and the majority of them dont try to horribly misrepresent themselves in public when it comes to being asked basic questions. It amazes me he is still getting a paycheck for the embarrassment that he is become for the sport. Like everyone else, I respect what he has done in the past for the sport, but I do no support a man who is riding the past waves of success and constantly/purposely losing fights just to get a paycheck. He needs to learn to manage his finances or GFTO, retire and protect what little dignity and pride he has left, brain damage or no brain damage.

  • @BelieveDont
    @BelieveDont 11 лет назад +10

    Bob is a very smart guy, each year he gets paid more than these champions, family has his back and finally he doesn't get hurt. Now what other fighter can say same thing? And if you don't understand that he doesn't throw fights you need to think again and again until you get it.

  • @ElephantRage
    @ElephantRage 11 лет назад +5

    Sapp is right: he had great fights in the past. And that makes this present day travesty even sadder.

  • @joesussex9152
    @joesussex9152 6 лет назад +8

    bobs a genius - gets more than a top level in the sport who get beat up badly, he walks into the ring takes no damage what so ever. he doesnt care about the sport just a way for him to make money. probably doesnt even train prior

  • @battlerapbars9118
    @battlerapbars9118 2 года назад +4

      @pilosopino23 5 лет назад +1

      Yeah, that doesn't make him less trash. He's still a Fraud, and throwing fights is just as illegal as fixing fights is illegal, He's more like a criminal than a businessman.

    Bob an absolute fool an joke of ariel . Ariel couldnt read between the lines . He wanted him to come out an openly say bluntly i take a dive an never get another fight again .ariel got in his emotions because bob made a clown out of him and ariel couldnt come back with anything . Ariel talked like a tuff guy to now i can see why rampage slapped him in interviews

  • @zedoctor3724
    @zedoctor3724 4 года назад +1

    I can't bring myself to hate Bob Sapp because he's just so damn funny to me lol. Also, it's interesting how Sapp would bring up how little fighters are being paid when we fast forward 8 years later and many fighters from the UFC now are complaining about pay as well. Sapp would be great as a talk show host or something, I'd watch that.
