All due respect to Smokin' Joe where you could make a case. My tiebreaker would be that B-HOP was BORN and raised here. Smokin' Joe is all Philly but he was born in South Carolina and came here as a teen.
jjayphilly yea, but joe frazier learned to box in philly by getting the shit kicked outta him by 2 middleweight brothers. frazier is a classic Philadelphia fighting system boxer.
This is probably top 5 interview for the breakfast club. I was able to take notes and learn from this and apply it to current situations I'm going through
Jason Voorhees y’all can’t get over the way he talks if you listen to the words he’s saying it’s actually good info for fighters who want to become businessmen
This man is speaking knowledge and wisdom. I shut my mouth and listen. He’s 52 in this interview and looks like he’s 38. Smh. These are the type of men I look up to. He’s a living legend, a great businessman, and a martial arts genius. I’m all in.
I love B-Hop, but he sound like a hater against Floyd during this interview. B-Hop is not in those negotiation rooms with Floyd, thats why he never sees him do deals. I guarantee Floyd arrogant self is not sitting silent on those negotiation deals.
unirave Does't mean hes in those meetings. Not his area otherwise, he wouldve simply said Floyd doesnt negotiate his deals instead of "I never heard or seen Floyd negotiate..." as if hes not there.
I would love to see Bernard Hopkins graduate from college with a degree in English. But all joking aside, this man really had my respect b/c he is so disciplined and focused.
I used to detail his and his wife's car. Wilmington Delaware at Prices Corner car wash one of the most humble individuals I have ever met. He talk to me like he knew me my whole life! a good soul and in my mind the greatest fighter to ever live I salute you brother✊💯🙏
I am 41 and I box very well at the lower divisions. They sell us that age thing. All you need is Discipline. I don't do alcohol or cigarettes, no clubbing, no junk food, always working out, no artificial things or anything food in a pack. Though in Africa our food and body make up is different, our water is natural, some of us have amazing genetics. When u see me you would never agree I am up to 40
He is one of the best businessmen after boxing. Floyd Mayweather has a lot of business he's involved in that Al Haymon has made sure he will always be a rich man. I appreciate boxers who listen to another savvy business person.
i love how he didnt make himself look like a sucker for getting knocked out the ring. he took that one like a man and kept going forward and kept it positive. no rounda rousey shit lol
Bernard Hopkins net worth = 40 Million Floyd Mayweather net worth = 400 Million Not saying b-hop is dumb but a wise man places himself around people who can handle the tasks he cannot. The three guys taking 10 percent that he hired, even if they cut in to his net worth would be 120 mil which is still 3 times B-hop's net worth. Just congratulate your brother's success and keep it pushing.
Johnny Doeboy I know your mom ain't proud of you for missing my point. He didn't need to put the next black man down for doing business different. I'm putting it in perspective and hopefully one day we'll all see that we don't have to diss each other but we can uplift each other. being in someone's pockets means you're salty about how they make / spend. I applaud the success of both of these Black men.
He said more than that. They spoke for a couple of minutes on the subject. He basically said Floyd is not a business man but he is. That floyd doesn't invest and will spend all of his money if he doesn't keep making big fights. Wasn't necessary to go there. I know he feels shaded because the McGregor fight will have a negative effect on the PPV sales of GGG vs Canelo but still...
Man don't hate on Yee, she's the only female interviewing men. She has to add her comments or what is she there for? She's cool, everyone just need to chill. Her background is hip hop so let's just chill.
5:48 - LMFAO This dude is a character. hahahaha. Would love to hang out with him one day. Dude looks like he's really ethical, though. I respect him for that.
I have listened to Bernard Hopkins interviews for years. He has so much knowledge it's amazing. He is Nobody's Fool. Remember he came out of jail and built himself into a millionaire. You can never take that away.
Best interview of the year so far. That's a million dollar dude giving somewhat of a guide. But when I think about sports I always think about the invisible man by Ellison .
I didn't know he was as informed as he is. a guy from prison most had counted out. a black felon sending his daughter to collages. how can you hate on that. this man knows his boxing. great interview.
This has to be the best interview yet. Other than Boyce Watkins but I relate to this one so much more. thanks y'all for what y'all do and the risk y'all take with letting the truth be unfiltered
God bless you Bernard Hopkins. I'm from Camden I'm so fucking proud of your career. And most of all I'm proud of your last fight. There are few like you. Most aren't around.
Hold on, Now I'm a B-Hop fan but he is being a hypocrite. Floyd owns his companies and partners with Al Haymon. Has Leonard Ellerbe and others handling his business. When you are at the helm of you empire you put people in place to handle those deals. B-hop on the other hand is a pawn in Oscar De La Hoya's game with a smal 5% interest in Golden Boy promotions. So of course YOU got to work for your moolah, you're a shooter; When you at the top you just sit back like the Ruler. (BARS)
Anthony Thompson Thank You!! How you gonna take a shot at Floyd and you've got De La Hoya beside you. Who Floyd used to have beside him, so you're actually several full steps behind Floyd. BHop gotta relax....
TheKiid810 floyd always had mayweather promotions when he teamed up with oscar..thats why floyd was making the 100 million dollar paydays because he was the promoter...oscar was never Floyd's boss ever
"Don't always...Never always..." OK, BHop. Bernard's my man, but his problem is he loves to hear himself talk, and he should sit down and listen to himself on tape some time. He's the man, but he's not as smart as he thinks he is. Naazim had one of the best quotes in an interview right after BHOP got KO'd.
Why do black folks always down talk other black folks. Like Bernard could've said he is a good business man with out down talking Floyd. Part of being a businessman is hiring the right people and outsourcing as many things as possible. Bernard doesn't get that concept. Just do you get your money with out down talking other black men or women.
Trane SFC Floyd is a better boxer than Hopkins ever was. Maybe not in a street fight. But that's besides the point, they discussing business and money here. Hopkins is not worth nearly as much as Floyd because Floyd makes better business decisions. I don't understand what Hopkins gets out of focusing on the only black man making real money in the sport. Lets support each other instead of always working to tear down one another.
how floyd aint a good business man when he been making the most money in boxing for the last 10 years obviously he must be a good business man when he been the highest paid athlete in all sports period for the last 10 years stop hating. most boxers that keep fighting until they 50 need the money so how good of a businessman are you if you have to keep boxing until you 50 plus
Kendrick Moore so you arent allowed to have an adviser or management team to be labeled a buisness man?? as a black people we have to do better without putting the next man down..
Philly's REAL Rocky.
This man needs a statue in the city.
jjayphilly word up💯💯
all due respect to Bhop but Philly's real rocky gotta be smoking Joe Frazier
jjayphilly They'll wait til 10 years after he's dead. Sad.
All due respect to Smokin' Joe where you could make a case. My tiebreaker would be that B-HOP was BORN and raised here. Smokin' Joe is all Philly but he was born in South Carolina and came here as a teen.
jjayphilly yea, but joe frazier learned to box in philly by getting the shit kicked outta him by 2 middleweight brothers. frazier is a classic Philadelphia fighting system boxer.
You know you talkin to a OG when he keeps touchin you're elbow while he's speaking!!
Rotter Dam on some real shit. hahaha and with the hand shakes they at like 40 hahahaha
Lmfao
You a are a black dude a 100%
😂
either dat r he's set n up 4 a right cross!
B Hop look like that uncle that you hoop wit but foul you hard af everytime you go up for a lay up 😂😂
Tavion Kizz W 😂😂😂
Lmao punch you dead in your chest and be like: "Foul!? What foul!? Your generation is so soft!"
Tavion Kizz lmao!! Yep. You sho right.
Tavion Kizz lmao
And he say he's making your tougher.
But low-key he just dont want a younger person beating him. 🤣🤣
CompuBox stats show Hopkins landed 92 jabs to Charlemagne left arm.
rrmond hahaha!
rrmond lmfaooo!
rrmond Funny!!!
Charlemagne wanted to move away.
Compubox number always lies he landed more
bernard hopkins the kinda guy thats keeps talking after you hang up the phone
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Random Genius Hold this W 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahahhaa
Random Genius I've never heard Hopkins described better
Random Genius hahaha
I learned so much from this dude growing up. My grandpa was a Pro boxer and inspired me to start fighting. He's truly a legend!
first ten minutes it felt like they aint ask him really no questions he just start going in lol I like that
Mookie Woods thats what B Hop always does
Omar Scruggs im not familiar with him other than rappers using him in a rap line but I see why now
Mookie Woods he said "this my house!"
Mookie Woods thats a fighters mentality... go in...
Mookie Woods He always does that.
God blessed this guy to be his age, still boxing, and still healthy physically and mentally... b-hop definetly one of the greatest.
When i was 35-0 i went through the same thing Bernard
-Angela Yee
72vince27 😂😂😂😂
72vince27 I almost spit out my juice. That shit was funny af
lmao
😂😂😂🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Bernard has a lot of personality! I enjoy these kinds of interviews (especially when Yee doesn't have much to say since there's no gossip topics).
Lol
God Bless this man. Great rags to riches story.
From prison to 1st ballet boxing Hall of Famer.
NEVER GIVE UP.
Yes sir he is a pure example of never giving up.
old heads always want like 5 hand shakes during a convo
B Hop just dropping MAD knowledge, some ppl just can't even grasp it to appreciate
Bernard is too smart for the average person they don't get it. they will catch up eventually.
@@medieval4433 straight up when he talking about the jewish
Bhop a crackhead
angela yee- " you know I once watched a boxing match at this juice bar that I started up myself"
James The Dolphin LOL!!
started herself with Dj Envys money
FACTS LOL
James The Dolphin 😂😂 Stupid😂😂
LMAO!!!!!!
This is probably top 5 interview for the breakfast club. I was able to take notes and learn from this and apply it to current situations I'm going through
Bernard Hopkins knows way too many sayings he hasn't memorised properly 😂
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
It's not that. He has silent senility compounded by his boxing-career, induced trauma. Shhhh!
Bookedonphonicstizzery
Life Advice : It doesn't matter how much you work out, it's about how much work you put in.
DJBVA08 I don't get it
RCH 32 you could work out a 3 times a day but if you not actually working hard you aren’t gonna have any tangible results
He was dropping some low key gems this whole interview
.
Jason Voorhees y’all can’t get over the way he talks if you listen to the words he’s saying it’s actually good info for fighters who want to become businessmen
This man is speaking knowledge and wisdom. I shut my mouth and listen. He’s 52 in this interview and looks like he’s 38. Smh. These are the type of men I look up to. He’s a living legend, a great businessman, and a martial arts genius. I’m all in.
"Niggas don't wanna win. They just wanna look good losing...."
But salute to B Hop...look out for Lil B Hop outta NYC on the Netflix doc Counterpunch
robert latimore great documentary.
I love B-Hop, but he sound like a hater against Floyd during this interview. B-Hop is not in those negotiation rooms with Floyd, thats why he never sees him do deals. I guarantee Floyd arrogant self is not sitting silent on those negotiation deals.
he is, he works with golden boy boxing.golden boy co promoted floyds' fights until 2014
You can say the same for Floyd hating on Andre Ward.
unirave Does't mean hes in those meetings. Not his area otherwise, he wouldve simply said Floyd doesnt negotiate his deals instead of "I never heard or seen Floyd negotiate..." as if hes not there.
all I can think about is how perfect Jamie Foxx would play him in a movie 😂 mannerisms the same!
SadieTheScienceBeauty I agree
Wow they even dress similar
I love when people speak both truth AND fact! Respect to Bernard.
One of my favourite boxers of all time. Absolute legend.
I would love to see Bernard Hopkins graduate from college with a degree in English. But all joking aside, this man really had my respect b/c he is so disciplined and focused.
Jason Voorhees and you’re an internet fan who has nothing better to do than try to diminish people you don’t know. Sucker
Show us your college degree from Harvard, all jokes aside.
Lemme guess Angela yee got a ex that used to box
Cashley Banks she got a friend for every situation 😂. It really be her going through those situations or she makes it up 😂
Cashley Banks Y'all are beyond corny...
Cashley from MD? 👀
Box that lil Hot Box....💯...good observation 🤣
I used to detail his and his wife's car.
Wilmington Delaware at Prices Corner car wash one of the most humble individuals I have ever met. He talk to me like he knew me my whole life! a good soul and in my mind the greatest fighter to ever live I salute you brother✊💯🙏
Boxing from the ages 40-52 is unreal.. most underrated feat in sports history.. Bernard Hopkins, legend
I am 41 and I box very well at the lower divisions. They sell us that age thing. All you need is Discipline. I don't do alcohol or cigarettes, no clubbing, no junk food, always working out, no artificial things or anything food in a pack. Though in Africa our food and body make up is different, our water is natural, some of us have amazing genetics. When u see me you would never agree I am up to 40
B Hop spitting them gems #legendary
George Foreman is the greatest boxer turned businessman. He has way more businesses besides the grill. People sleep on Foreman
He is one of the best businessmen after boxing. Floyd Mayweather has a lot of business he's involved in that Al Haymon has made sure he will always be a rich man. I appreciate boxers who listen to another savvy business person.
You know he REALLY SPITTING on Charlamagne and Angela Yee...they need to wipe their face...RESPECT to B-HOP
Philly Legend
This interview is good. I'm not a big fan of boxing but I still enjoyed
one of the best interviews I've seen
One of the best Interviews the breakfast club has performed. I watched Hopkins' fights growing up but never knew the extent of his knowledge.
One of my favorite! So underrated . Went from boxing in jail to being a world champ 👊🏽
Even Roy Jones was forced to lean back
- Fat Joe
@A Warrior you already checked me tho
the dmx of boxing.. Mr Bernard Hopkins
the straight edge DMX tbh
Bernard is a PASSIONATE man!!! He speaks with passion and wisdom! You can tell that man is pure motivation and has been through some real shit
I havent heard charlemagne this quiet since master p checked after he made inappropriate comments about a female P knew
Suga Ray Mercedes had a fat ass pussy😂😂😂😂 That Asian nigga came in had Cthegod on hush mode.
Bernard hopkins da type of dude to give u a long righteous lecture when u ask him to pass the salt...
Sometimes u can't get back with the get back to get back what u getting for 😂😂😂
I don’t understand that shit for real
🤔
Bernard Hopkins can be a great story teller at a bonfire camp ground... he should look into that
Jason Voorhees disrespectful
i love how he didnt make himself look like a sucker for getting knocked out the ring. he took that one like a man and kept going forward and kept it positive. no rounda rousey shit lol
Great guy i met him 15yrs ago at his prime and he was very humble
Marques Labbe best comment on here...
The executioner!
Ray Choco the alien
B-Hop with the one-two.
Bernard is one sportsmen that talks more than the talk show hosts, and all three of them combined!!
New Word: "You Got To Make Up What You SPUND"! Bernard Hopkins word.
Nigga did a whole interview by himself
B Hop put them hands on Trinidad. He had some dirty tactics but he was a helluva boxer.
Jason Stewart Bernard wasn't dirty. He just a true old school Philly fighter. They hard nose fighter
Bernard & Hov (and maybe Puffy via his 'Can't Stop, Won't Stop' Apple Music doc) have spit the most game this past week…
#FactsOnly #Facts
Ladies & Gentlemen, The DMX of Boxing
Bernard Hopkins net worth = 40 Million
Floyd Mayweather net worth = 400 Million
Not saying b-hop is dumb but a wise man places himself around people who can handle the tasks he cannot. The three guys taking 10 percent that he hired, even if they cut in to his net worth would be 120 mil which is still 3 times B-hop's net worth.

MelquanKatz lol all he said was he doesn't do his own deals y'all funny 😂😂
He said more than that. They spoke for a couple of minutes on the subject. He basically said Floyd is not a business man but he is. That floyd doesn't invest and will spend all of his money if he doesn't keep making big fights. Wasn't necessary to go there. I know he feels shaded because the McGregor fight will have a negative effect on the PPV sales of GGG vs Canelo but still...
how do you know floyd or bhop networth? do you do his taxes
unirave LOL B- hop was funny for that. Even an account might not know if you don't plan to report it all.
Man don't hate on Yee, she's the only female interviewing men. She has to add her comments or what is she there for? She's cool, everyone just need to chill. Her background is hip hop so let's just chill.
Real OG. Went from being a stick up kid to a millionaire in the corporate world. Respect 👊🏿
5:48 - LMFAO
This dude is a character. hahahaha. Would love to hang out with him one day. Dude looks like he's really ethical, though. I respect him for that.
I have listened to Bernard Hopkins interviews for years. He has so much knowledge it's amazing. He is Nobody's Fool. Remember he came out of jail and built himself into a millionaire. You can never take that away.
Best interview of the year so far. That's a million dollar dude giving somewhat of a guide. But when I think about sports I always think about the invisible man by Ellison .
why so?
HUMBL Ain't in the top ten.
One of the best boxers every B-hop B-hop B-hop......
ANGELA YEE DONT HAVE A CLUE SHE AINT SAID ANYTHING.
This is the BEST INTERVIEW so far..... I love the Geeks!! Bring this Bernard back.
Yeh I noticed that too, I thought that was jus me Canelo started to use Mayweather's fightning style, i definitely saw that
HE PROBABLY WATCHED HIS FIGHT WITH FLOYD A 100 TIMES!
LIVIN LEGEND, from the streetz to jail to boxing world championships, respect from France!!!
B hop look like the mma dude dan henderson lol
IAMJUDAH he sho do 😂😂
lmao true. their face and head are very similar.
IAMJUDAH lmao
The man did his craft for over a decade Charlemagne don't ask stupid questions
I didn't know he was as informed as he is. a guy from prison most had counted out. a black felon sending his daughter to collages. how can you hate on that. this man knows his boxing. great interview.
he's close enough to the mic wherever he is...you can hear him. This is a confident legend with a voice to match it
he got on that 'pervy uncle at the family bbq' hat/outfit
more like that I survived it all and kept all mine and it is summer time look...He is grown man chillin
Lynn W lol you drawin!😂
JetLife Pilot and droolin' at every booty that passes by in a sundress 😂
This comment belongs on Celebrity Mean Tweets
hahahaha classic!!!
This has to be the best interview yet. Other than Boyce Watkins but I relate to this one so much more. thanks y'all for what y'all do and the risk y'all take with letting the truth be unfiltered
Breakfast Club has been getting more than musicians for their interviews lately.... to remind everyone (aka everyday struggle) who the big dogs are.
Who Cares .. Long As The Content Good
I agree^
The could never. Everyday struggle is good, but the b.c. is a radio show. E.S. is a web show about entertainment discussion.
The very definition of a man who talked the talk & most definitely walked the walk. The most interesting intelligent inside & out the ring.
Benard da type of da Uncle...u try to avoid...cuz he go have u hostage & talk yo 👂 off
King Heem i love old timer like that
B hop is the MAN.Dropping gems after warring in the ring for 30 years, BRILLIANT. Salute
yessir Philly legend
DIABOLICAL -VO wow
God bless you Bernard Hopkins. I'm from Camden
I'm so fucking proud of your career. And most of all I'm proud of your last fight. There are few like you. Most aren't around.
B hop, a legend, but talks in one big run-on sentence. No pauses. Comma after comma...😂
Shayne McC commas are pauses lol
All bulshit it is
Thats wat crackheads do
OG Hopkins...that title gets tossed around so casually but Hopkins really OG
Hold on, Now I'm a B-Hop fan but he is being a hypocrite. Floyd owns his companies and partners with Al Haymon. Has Leonard Ellerbe and others handling his business. When you are at the helm of you empire you put people in place to handle those deals. B-hop on the other hand is a pawn in Oscar De La Hoya's game with a smal 5% interest in Golden Boy promotions. So of course YOU got to work for your moolah, you're a shooter; When you at the top you just sit back like the Ruler. (BARS)
Aubrey Harris fire
Straight bars 🔥🔥🔥
Good point...possibly lost on the unintelligent! Most these dudes don't own shyte. They use them a fronts, and give them a paltry sum/percentage!
Preach!
50 debunked that,50 said he didn't have any promotional company
one of the best to ever do it!
THE MUTHA FUCKING BREAKFAST TRASH!!!! THAT WORK'S HARD FOR THE WHITESUPREMACY GROUP!!!!!
DIABOLICAL -VO u clearly don't have a life lol . you really puttin that comment on every person comment
YOU CLEARLY DON'T HAVE A LIFE!!!! YOU KEEP COMMENTING ON MY COMMENTS!!!!
InterstateStunna559 lol
He's saying Floyd ain't a promoter. Well same goes for B hop. Oscar de la Hoya is his boss. Goes both ways.
Anthony Thompson Thank You!! How you gonna take a shot at Floyd and you've got De La Hoya beside you. Who Floyd used to have beside him, so you're actually several full steps behind Floyd. BHop gotta relax....
HS32153 floyd never had oscar by him..oscar was never his boss like he is for hopkins
TheKiid810 floyd always had mayweather promotions when he teamed up with oscar..thats why floyd was making the 100 million dollar paydays because he was the promoter...oscar was never Floyd's boss ever
michael McDonald exactly
TheKiid810 true
appreciate this interview Breakfast Club One Love
B HOP YOU ARE A FRONT MAN TOO
Selma me an u always got Floyd back 👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾
SELMA LOYALITY IS YOUR MIDDLE NAME YOU'VE BEEN REPRESENTING FOR YEARS
Selma Word FACTS!
Trane SFC Lmaooooo
Trane SFC could u beat him tho ?
Dude should get an award just for boxing for so long.
benard to charlemagne : you talking that mason stuff now ! .... charlemagne awkward silence ! lol
"Don't always...Never always..." OK, BHop. Bernard's my man, but his problem is he loves to hear himself talk, and he should sit down and listen to himself on tape some time. He's the man, but he's not as smart as he thinks he is. Naazim had one of the best quotes in an interview right after BHOP got KO'd.
#J_B What Quote was that? " That Nergo Went Flyin.."?
Do you have the link for the Naazim interview? Would love to see it
I read about him in newspapers years ago never heard him speak before. He made it.
Low Key this interview was Classic hahahaha
Amazing interview. I'm a geek & I love you too Bernard. #PHILLY
Why do black folks always down talk other black folks. Like Bernard could've said he is a good business man with out down talking Floyd. Part of being a businessman is hiring the right people and outsourcing as many things as possible. Bernard doesn't get that concept. Just do you get your money with out down talking other black men or women.
Zee Aye Floyd deserves to be talked about he's not a real fighter
Trane SFC Floyd is a better boxer than Hopkins ever was. Maybe not in a street fight. But that's besides the point, they discussing business and money here. Hopkins is not worth nearly as much as Floyd because Floyd makes better business decisions. I don't understand what Hopkins gets out of focusing on the only black man making real money in the sport. Lets support each other instead of always working to tear down one another.
Zee Aye Floyd doesn't have skills also boxing is rigged
Trane SFC, According to your definition? Floyd is one of the best boxers ever in the game.
AgentJ2007 by your standards he is
B-Hop is Philly's Finest!!! A true Boxing legend!!
Bernard Hopkins is a warrior in the ring. I respect how he turned his life around, but Bernard is a bitter disrespectful hater on a lot of fighters.
LEGENDARY FIGHTER, EXTRAORDINARY MAN... Respect 2 B Hop
cthagod waiting on every interview to quote lines from 48 laws of power!!!
How can "GOOD" be recognized if "BAD" didn't exist? ~B.Hop~ Man he got wisdom, great boxer and sounds like a great businessman!
how floyd aint a good business man when he been making the most money in boxing for the last 10 years obviously he must be a good business man when he been the highest paid athlete in all sports period for the last 10 years stop hating. most boxers that keep fighting until they 50 need the money so how good of a businessman are you if you have to keep boxing until you 50 plus
James Stocks
because Al Harmon and Richard Schaeffer are behind Floyd. And it may be hidden hands behind those two too.
James Stocks he said he doesn't do his own deals that's it lol that's all he said
Anthony Carter naw that's not all he said he threw mad shots at floyd
Kendrick Moore so you arent allowed to have an adviser or management team to be labeled a buisness man?? as a black people we have to do better without putting the next man down..
michael McDonald exactly somebody need to tell him that
My guy B Hop a legend, wish him well in his retirement
This guy is a GENUIS
droppin GEMS!
Envy: So you're a boxer, explain to the audience what boxing is
I love brother Bernard.
Angela Yee: I have a friend that's a boxer...
Much love to the brother for holding it down till the end. Big ups BHOP!
