In the realm of professional boxing, negotiations can sometimes be as captivating as the bouts themselves. But one recent negotiation standoff took an unexpected and humorous turn, becoming the center of attention on Instagram.
Picture this: two reigning boxing champions, a tense negotiation, and a viral reel using a scene from a popular movie. That’s precisely what happened between champions Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson, and the result was an epic blend of boxing drama, cinematic flair, and social media humor.
Instagram user Marshall Brown brilliantly crafted a reel that mirrored a scene from the movie Soul men, featuring legendary actors Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac.
But this wasn’t just any scene; it perfectly encapsulated the ongoing negotiation deadlock between Haney and Stevenson.
In the reel, Samuel L. Jackson’s character demands to know, “How much?” Bernie Mac’s character responds with “40 grand,” to which Jackson fires back with, “Apiece?” Only to be met with Bernie Mac’s clarification, “No, down the middle.” The comedic exchange continues as Jackson’s character insists, “No, no, no, no, no, No, no, no, no! That ain’t even enough.”
The dialogue escalates further with hilarious banter over a pantry full of dog food and a supposedly hidden dog, culminating in Bernie Mac’s exasperated, “You’re the dog, motherf****r!” The reel perfectly mirrored the tense negotiations between the two boxing champions and left everyone in stitches.
