Paul stated about a person who appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast, “This guy means more to me than he’ll probably ever know until he sees this. I love David Choe. The first time I saw him was on Joe Rogan. And I immediately reached out because I loved his interview so much. The guy seemed like tapped into some otherworldly artistry sh*t that I wanted to know more about. And then out of nowhere he makes and sends me a giant 6ft tall Charizard costume. And then this was right before I was about to fight Floyd Mayweather. And when the fight got announced, everyone’s talking sh*t saying this and that. Then I get a text from Davis Choe, very simple, says, you will win.”
