Jonathan Eig Quotes

When a man goes into the ring, he's going to war.

It's only boxing, don't worry about it. Let's get it on!

I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I kick people in the face for a living. So, if that’s something you’re into — if you like watching people get kicked in the face — come see me. I’ll probably be your favorite wrestler.

I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.

Some of them … are tripping one another up, while others are twisting each other and groveling together in the mud, wallowing like swine … Others standing upright, … are attacking each other with blows and kicks … one looks as if he were going to spew out his teeth, unlucky man, his mouth full of blood and sand …. Nobody can easily convince me that men who do these things are not out of their minds.

In the future, I want to have super-fights.

I like to fight, and I think the fans want to see a good fight, too.

Fighting is what I love to do.

The fans want to see more. They're there to see fights, they want to see more, they want to see people get put unconscious, whatever. But you can't get put in those spots.

I like to have fun in the ring, but I knock them out.

People in Toronto love to watch fights.

There's nothing better than a fight, especially when you're watching it from a safe place. You can yell encouragement! Hit him with the left, he's a big Jessie!

I just love to fight. I like to hurt people. I haven't lost that. I didn't lose it when I first got a bit of wealth and I haven't lost it now. The nature of my business is to hurt people.

I forgot how it feel like to have the top of my foot hurt so bad from kicking people on the face.

I cannot remember a time when I was not getting into fights.

I never fought in my life outside of a ring.

Sexy boxing is something that takes away from the brutality of boxing.

Every time I stepped into the ring, somebody wanted to kill me.

I started boxing when I was eight. I enjoyed when I could hit someone and they couldn't hit me back. It was like a game for me. The feeling of knocking someone out. My first knockout victory was when I was ten. He went down and his nose started to bleed, so they stopped it.

I don't like any sport except boxing and bull fighting.

The NFL has gone a long way to Disney-fy its image, but it's not Disney. It's the MMA. It's a violent, brutal human war, with rules. The same guy who says, 'I'm going to rob everybody,' is the same guy who would be successful in the NFL.

Boxing is smoky halls and kidneys battered until they bleed.

Boxing brings out my aggressive instinct, not necessarily a killer instinct.

I dished out and suffered my fair share of bloody noses.

Politics is comparable to boxing. The only thing is that in politics there are basically no rules. In boxing, you can get a black eye, but in politics you can get poison in your food or a bullet in the head. It's definitely rougher and tougher than other sports.
