Part 8/13:
Addressing the challenges of fame, they speak candidly about how success often comes with sacrifices and pitfalls. From grueling hours on film sets or touring stages to the pressures of maintaining relevance, they discuss the toll this takes on mental health. The mental fatigue from constant travel, the loneliness despite being surrounded by fans, and the toll of navigating an industry ripe with superficiality are all laid bare.
They highlight stories of legendary fighters such as Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, and Roy Jones Jr., analyzing their careers—deliberate decision-making, the brutality of weight cuts, and the mental resilience needed. They admire Ali’s tactical genius and Holmes's underrated greatness but lament how the sport has shifted away from its storied history.
