Dusty May won a national title at Michigan then immediately became head coach of the Dallas Mavericks — getting to coach Cooper Flagg. Big Cat called it one of the fastest rises in coaching history, going from FAU to Michigan to the NBA in three years. The transfer portal frustrations he aired publicly? Big Cat argues that was just a cover — May always wanted the NBA.

PFT's Cool Throne is Kyle Pitts signing a 3-year extension with the Atlanta Falcons, plus the newly announced PGA Tour restructuring involving a Champions Tour, Challengers Tour, and eventual match play format at the season's end. Big Cat's Hot Seats are Brendan Sorsby (who has nowhere to go after the NFL declined to hold a supplemental draft) and Kent State football for losing a recruit literally named Kenston Staton — to Toledo. Big Cat's Cool Throne is college basketball, as Dusty May's departure to the Dallas Mavericks removes one of the best coaches from the conference [1] — Big Cat "Dusty May: FAU to Michigan national title to Mavs HC: Dusty May went from FAU head coach to winning a national title at Michigan to becomin…" 1:12:17 .

Floyd Mayweather allegedly wrote a bad $200,000 check to a jeweler on New Year's Eve 18 months ago and still hasn't paid. Zach reports Mayweather is now facing felony charges — despite allegedly earning $1.2 billion in his career. Online math puts his monthly burn rate at roughly $3 million in mortgages, car notes, and recurring expenses alone.
Zach cited that Floyd Mayweather has allegedly earned $1.2 billion throughout his career but is now facing felony charges over a $200K bad check to a jeweler.
Thomas's wife deferred her CrossFit career — she's in the global top 1% of athletes — to put him through law school debt-free. He wants her to chase the dream now; she wants the emergency fund and house down payment first. On a $200K lawyer income with no debt, the opportunity cost is just a few months of slower saving.
Underground calisthenics battles are exactly like UFC meets a rap battle — 150 people crowded around a circle, fighters walking out with masks and chains, nicknames like 'Extra Money' vs 'Calisthenics the Prince,' and people throwing money and betting. The battle set: 100 burpees, 50 muscle-ups, 75 dips, 75 squats with a 65-pound dumbbell. This is the next big spectator sport.
Rico Verhoeven controlled the undisputed heavyweight boxing champion for approximately 10 rounds — and had his appeal upheld when officials admitted the fight was stopped after the bell. The result was never overturned. Rogan calls it either incompetence or corruption, and argues the money behind Usyk made an upset politically inconvenient.
Rogan lays out a blunt case: boxing's 3-judge system is structurally broken, and the judges know who the promoter wants to win. Glory's 5-judge format is the right model. Corruption doesn't have to be conscious — just knowing Usyk is the cash cow is enough to tilt the scales.
With the Usyk-Wilder fight stalling and Fury-Joshua coming too late, the real fight the world wants is the rematch. Rico is a free agent. Usyk vacated his belts. The story is unfinished and both Rogan and Rico know it. His Excellency Turki Alasheikh already called for it ringside — the question is money.
Rico texted Jason Statham during the Canelo-Crawford fight. Statham showed Rico's highlight videos to promoters. Two days later, Rico was on a call about fighting Anthony Joshua. When Joshua pulled out, Rico pitched Usyk himself — Undisputed vs. Undisputed. Usyk said yes in two weeks. The whole thing started with one text.
Every heavyweight who faced Usyk tried to move to the right — straight into his power hand. Rico and Peter Fury identified the obvious solution: move left, away from the left hand, and smother him with size. It sounds simple. Nobody had done it. That one adjustment was the foundation of 10 dominant rounds.
MMA fans boo when fights go to the ground. They love stand-up. Kickboxing is pure stand-up. Yet it barely exists in America while boxing and MMA are enormous. Rogan's diagnosis: no promotion machine. If the UFC got behind kickboxing the way they've built MMA, it would explode. The talent is there — the storytelling machine is not.
A nation of 17 million people gave the world Ramon Deckers, Peter Aerts, Badr Hari, Melvin Manhoef, Rob Kamen, Ernesto Hoost, and Rico Verhoeven. Rico's theory: the country is so small that every gym shares knowledge freely. In the US, you need a flight. In Holland, you drive 40 minutes and spar the national champion.
