00:00:56,182 --> 00:00:58,518
So this is interesting.
18
00:00:58,518 --> 00:01:00,436
So I was in prison, right?
19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,064
I was on the phone talking
to my car dealer, like you do,
20
00:01:03,064 --> 00:01:05,149
and he's discussing how he's
gonna get him some horses.
21
00:01:05,233 --> 00:01:06,776
I say, "Horses?
You can get horses?"
22
00:01:06,776 --> 00:01:09,695
I mean, I'm from Brooklyn,
you know, I didn't know.
23
00:01:09,779 --> 00:01:11,364
He's like, "Yeah, man,
I can get you anything.
24
00:01:11,364 --> 00:01:13,783
I can get cougars,
lions, tigers."
25
00:01:15,326 --> 00:01:17,745
That's a picture
of me and my tiger.
26
00:01:17,829 --> 00:01:20,498
(laughter)
27
00:01:20,498 --> 00:01:21,999
It's crazy.
28
00:01:22,083 --> 00:01:23,918
That's how you know you're not
in Brownsville anymore.
29
00:01:23,918 --> 00:01:26,629
That's when I was,
you know, insane.
30
00:01:29,632 --> 00:01:31,259
I'm not gonna lie
about anything in this show.
31
00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:32,468
I'm gonna tell you guys everything.
32
00:01:32,552 --> 00:01:35,638
I'm gonna be completely honest
with you guys, you know.
33
00:01:35,722 --> 00:01:38,266
You know, sometimes I think
of myself back then.
34
00:01:38,266 --> 00:01:40,852
I took all those trips
to the psych ward and stuff.
35
00:01:40,852 --> 00:01:42,478
What was wrong with me
back then?
36
00:01:42,562 --> 00:01:43,980
I was really disturbed
back then.
37
00:01:43,980 --> 00:01:46,607
I was a really strange kid
back then.
38
00:01:46,691 --> 00:01:48,151
You know, who am I?
39
00:01:48,151 --> 00:01:49,569
Then I come out here.

Who am I?
43
00:01:59,746 --> 00:02:02,957
I'm the most brutal,
the most vicious,
44
00:02:02,957 --> 00:02:04,876
ruthless champion

45
00:02:04,876 --> 00:02:07,003
There's no one like me.
There's no one can match me.
46
00:02:07,003 --> 00:02:09,338
My style is impetuous.
My defense is impregnable.
47
00:02:09,422 --> 00:02:11,174
I'm just ferocious.
I want your heart.
48
00:02:11,174 --> 00:02:12,633
I want to eat your children.

in Brownsville, New York.
71
00:03:16,072 --> 00:03:17,573
Back in 1971,
72
00:03:17,657 --> 00:03:19,784
they had the highest
murder rate in the country.
73
00:03:19,784 --> 00:03:21,661
There was hookers
and drugs and murders
74
00:03:21,661 --> 00:03:23,413

75
00:03:23,413 --> 00:03:26,082

I go to school,

I go home from school,

Used to talk
to myself out loud.
83
00:03:46,269 --> 00:03:48,688
I was just a weird little kid.
84
00:03:48,688 --> 00:03:51,733
But my mom, she took me
to see some doctor.

517
00:20:26,144 --> 00:20:28,646
I'll do better.
I promise.
518
00:20:28,730 --> 00:20:30,064
No, Mike.
519
00:20:30,148 --> 00:20:32,567
- Mike, this is a good thing.
- MIKE: Come on, man.
520
00:20:32,567 --> 00:20:35,278
What did I do?
What did I do?
521
00:20:35,278 --> 00:20:36,988
No, Mike, Mike,
you didn't do anything.
522
00:20:36,988 --> 00:20:38,239
Look...
523
00:20:42,034 --> 00:20:43,578
You're gonna be paroled soon.
524
00:20:44,787 --> 00:20:46,122
I don't want you going back
to Brownsville,
525
00:20:46,122 --> 00:20:47,373
getting into trouble.
526
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,002
Mike, I'm doing this for you,
not to you.
527
00:20:52,378 --> 00:20:53,671
All right?
528
00:20:53,755 --> 00:20:56,716
- MIKE: (sniffling)
- BOBBY: Hey, come on, Mike.
529
00:20:56,716 --> 00:20:58,801
Come on, cheer up.
This is good news.
530
00:21:02,972 --> 00:21:04,140
Okay.
531
00:21:04,140 --> 00:21:07,560
(romantic music)
532
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,772
Cus D'Amato trained not one
but two world champions.
533
00:21:10,772 --> 00:21:12,398
He was a legend.
534
00:21:12,482 --> 00:21:14,609
SINGER:
♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
535
00:21:14,609 --> 00:21:16,736
MIKE: But Cus only had a small
gym in Catskill, New York,
536
00:21:16,736 --> 00:21:17,862
when I met him.
537
00:21:17,862 --> 00:21:19,989
SINGER:
♪ Sensational ♪
538
00:21:20,073 --> 00:21:22,075
MIKE:
He'd fallen into obscurity.
539
00:21:22,075 --> 00:21:25,578
SINGER: ♪ Yes, baby,
you're sensational ♪
540
00:21:25,578 --> 00:21:27,538
MIKE: Fighters thought
he was old-timey.
541
00:21:27,622 --> 00:21:29,624
SINGERS:
♪ Ba-ba-ba-boo ♪
542
00:21:29,624 --> 00:21:31,125
MIKE:
I was his last Hail Mary...
543
00:21:31,209 --> 00:21:32,585
All right, that's enough.
544
00:21:32,585 --> 00:21:34,128
MIKE:
His golden meal ticket back.
545
00:21:34,212 --> 00:21:35,505
CUS:
Here's the truth.
546
00:21:35,505 --> 00:21:39,926
This is the heavyweight
champion of the world.
547
00:21:39,926 --> 00:21:42,762
I made Floyd Patterson the
youngest champion of the world.
548
00:21:42,762 --> 00:21:44,472
If you listen to me,
549
00:21:44,472 --> 00:21:47,683
I can make you the youngest
champion of all time--
550
00:21:47,767 --> 00:21:51,312
a beast, a terror, a monster.
551
00:21:51,396 --> 00:21:53,231
What do you think about that?
552
00:21:53,231 --> 00:21:56,275
(sighs)
I thought he was a pervert.
553
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,902
Back home, right,
when people say that shit,
554
00:21:57,902 --> 00:21:59,821
they're about
to perv out on you.
555
00:21:59,821 --> 00:22:02,532
I can't believe
you're just 13 years old.
556
00:22:03,574 --> 00:22:05,034
Yes, sir.
557
00:22:05,118 --> 00:22:08,121
CUS: You have
a natural talent, Mike.
558
00:22:08,121 --> 00:22:09,705
You looked splendid.
559
00:22:10,790 --> 00:22:12,166
In time,
560
00:22:12,250 --> 00:22:15,253
you will be the greatest
fighter that has ever lived.
561
00:22:16,796 --> 00:22:17,755
Do you believe that?
562
00:22:18,673 --> 00:22:20,049
I didn't know
what to think about that.
563
00:22:20,133 --> 00:22:22,677
I was honestly just thinking
how I was gonna rob his house.
564
00:22:24,262 --> 00:22:26,514
- I don't know what to say.
- CUS: It's the truth.
565
00:22:26,514 --> 00:22:28,391
Everyone thinks I'm finished.
I'm not finished.
566
00:22:28,391 --> 00:22:29,892
I've been waiting,
567
00:22:29,976 --> 00:22:32,895
and I think you're the one
I've been waiting for.
568
00:22:32,979 --> 00:22:34,772
Now I'm glad I lived
as long as I did.
569
00:22:34,856 --> 00:22:36,357
(both chuckle)
570
00:22:36,441 --> 00:22:40,278
So you up for it?
You gonna work together?
571
00:22:40,278 --> 00:22:41,612
What do you think, Mike?
572
00:22:43,698 --> 00:22:45,116
Are those roses?
573
00:22:45,116 --> 00:22:46,576
What?
574
00:22:46,576 --> 00:22:48,202
Roses.
575
00:22:48,286 --> 00:22:51,706
I never seen them
in real life before...
576
00:22:51,706 --> 00:22:53,499
only on television.
577
00:22:58,087 --> 00:22:59,464
You okay, Mike?
578
00:23:00,798 --> 00:23:01,883
Hey.

00:23:04,427 --> 00:23:05,636
What you thinking?
580
00:23:08,556 --> 00:23:10,683
I think I'm gonna
be somebody.
