Bleed for This Quote
Female Reporter: People are calling this one of the most unlikely comebacks in sports history. What do you attribute it to?
Vinny Pazienza: Hum... Yeah, I don't know. I had a lot of help.
Female Reporter: But you've also had a lot of adversity. You've had issues with management, conflicts of interest...
Vinny Pazienza: Yeah, well, the boxing world looks shiny from the outside. It's filled with promises that... Most of them turn out to be lies. You can't rely on anyone.
Female Reporter: So what would you say the biggest deception was? What was the biggest lie you were told?
Vinny Pazienza: [pause]
Vinny Pazienza: It's not that simple.
Female Reporter: Why not?
Vinny Pazienza: No, that's the biggest lie I was ever told: It's not that simple. And it's a lie they tell you over and over again.
Female Reporter: [pause]
Female Reporter: What's not simple?
Vinny Pazienza: Any of it. All of it. It's how they get you to give up. They say, It's not that simple, Vinny.
Female Reporter: [pause]
Female Reporter: So, what's the truth?
Vinny Pazienza: [pause]
Vinny Pazienza: That it is. That if you just do the thing that they tell you, you can't, then it's done. And you realise it is that simple... And that it always was.
Vinny Pazienza: Hum... Yeah, I don't know. I had a lot of help.
Female Reporter: But you've also had a lot of adversity. You've had issues with management, conflicts of interest...
