Barney shares his regret regarding the Floyd Mayweather interview and shares the lesson learned

Recently, a video was uploaded on the Recession Proof channel. In the video, Barney shared a regretful story involving Floyd Mayweather that taught him a valuable lesson. He recalled the time he did an episode with the boxing legend. He said, “This Floyd Mayweather thing goes off, literally Floyd Mayweather clips everywhere. 2 million views on this reel, 7 million views on a reel and I’m sitting there going, this is from my episode but the microphone didn’t say Recession Proof. None of my brandings was on those clips and I said, ‘F**k’.”

However, he learned from the experience and seized the opportunity when Tyson appeared on his show, Drink Champs. He stated, “You are what you negotiate.”

Thus after negotiating with the Brooklyn native, he arranged for the former champion to wear his “Recession Proof” shirt during the interview. He added, “Certain people are viral speakers, when they say certain things, it’s going to clip. It’s going to go everywhere. It’s like Rick Ross, he wore a shirt, now all those clips, 2 million views. My brand is there.”
