A "HEYMAN HUSTLE" EXCLUSIVE
PAUL HEYMAN: "BROCK LESNAR IS
SICK AND TIRED ... OF BEING SICK AND TIRED!'
In a brand new blog posted today on "The Heyman Hustle" website,
Brock Lesnar's former on-air agent in World Wrestling Entertainment
has taken to task those who think Brock is ducking Shane Carwin.
Key excerpt:
The current Heavyweight Champion of the World for the fastest growing sports franchise on the globe, Ultimate Fighting Championship, is not really concerned with public opinion. He has a benefit not enjoyed by Shane Carwin, or most other fighters in that Brock doesn't have a computer. He doesn't pay attention to what people are saying. In layman's terms, he just doesn't give a shit.
It was about three and a half weeks ago, when I was on the phone with Brock, and he sounded just so tired. I asked him if this training camp was harder than the others. He shocked me with his answer. "I'm just exhausted," he admitted, "I train, I come home, and I crash. I'm going to take a day or two off and just try to shake this thing."
That was hint number one. Something was wrong.
About a week later, Brock told me he was behind in his training camp. "I'm still going to beat Shane Carwin's ass," Brock stated, "then let's go ice fishing or something. Whatever I have, it's throwing me off my game."
Uh oh. Hint number two. NOTHING throws Brock Lesnar off his game. Not injury, as I've seen him work through those. Not personal turmoil. I've seen his home life get turned upside down. He works through that as well. Not financial issues. Brock's had his battles with divorce, audits, being grounded by the WWE lawsuit. He likes to work. He likes to train. He likes to fight. He likes to compete. Whatever it takes to throw Brock off his game must be pretty ugly.
Then came the inevitable. Brock pulled out of the fight. He really had no choice. He's worked so hard, for so long, to find his passion in life. And now that he's found it, he's not going to half-ass a fight, whether Shane Carwin is the man to take the title from Brock, or whether Brock could whip Shane Carwin's ass even if he's battling pneumonia, swine flu, diarrhea, gonorrhea, syphilis, and sickle cell. The point is that Brock Lesnar could not train properly for a fight that would most likely be purchased by upwards of 1,000,000 people. To put it in perspective, the estimated number of people expected to pay a premium dollar for Brock Lesnar's next UFC Title defense matches the number of PPV buys scored by Floyd Mayweather's return to the ring against a Hall of Fame opponent like Juan Manuel Marquez.
More people are expected to pay to see Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin on pay per view than this year's WWE Wrestlemania. Just think about the responsibility of being that main event fighter.
