The Time a Parachutist Crashed the Evander Holyfield/Riddick Bowe Fight | Joe Rogan

Yeah. Well, you guys had some crazy fights, but the craziest one was probably the one where the guy landed in the middle of the ring. The guy with the parachute with the... What was that guy's... What did he call himself? The fan man. That's right. He had a fan that was powering his parachute and he literally landed in the ring. That was in an outdoor arena in Vegas. Is that what it was? Well, it sure was. And it made... And it held the fight up about 30 minutes. That was crazy. Oh yeah. Because at that time, I had him hurt. Yes. And it saved him. Yeah. Well, you had him hurt and then everybody got cold. You cooled off. It almost seems like they should have canceled the fight. Well, it was half of the fight. If they canceled the fight, they would have to pay us again. There's a picture up there. Look at that. What was going through your mind when you saw that guy land on the ropes like that? Well, it shocked me then because when he did, the lights started like this and Curtis Mayfield had just got paralyzed. Same thing where the thing fell down. Oh, lights fell on him. Yeah. Curtis Mayfield, he got paralyzed that way? Yes. Oh, wow. So you thought maybe the lights were about to fall. Well, yeah. And I was trying to make sure that I could make that quick step, get in or get out. Right, right, right. Yeah. So this guy, once you finally realized that it was a guy on a parachute with a fan behind him, how mad were you? You know, I couldn't keep my mind on him. I got to keep my mind on him. But that's enough. Everybody asked me that and I'm like, you have to have a one-track mind is you're going to be real good. You're going to be the best. You have to have that one-track mind. Yeah. Yeah. It's not something you could pay attention to. Was it hard to get your mind back into it after the settle and they had to clear the guy out and arrest him and clean the ring out and everything? No, I stayed focused. My whole thing is that I felt that I won the first half. Right. Now I got this next half. Why did it take a half hour to get that guy out of there? You know, rid of both wife there. She was pregnant and she had to leave and all this. So many things happened because the guy happened to come over Farrakhan and so all these people, they don't beat the poor man in the head. They don't knock him out. Like this, ultimately, he got a really good beating for coming in. I hope he did. He did. Yeah. Is he still in jail? No, no, no. He passed now. Oh, he's gone? Yeah. Oh, well. I guess that's his legacy. Well, you know. You fucked up your fight. That's his legacy. You're right. But I won. Yes, you did. Yeah. Yeah.
