In this punchy Dropping Bombs episode, David Benavidez and Matthew (Mateo) Attalla expose the real playbook for champions inside business and boxing. Benavidez, the "Mexican Monster," breaks down fight‑or‑flight resilience, training until it hurts, and the mindset that keeps him undefeated—and locked in for Riyadh on November 22 versus Anthony Yarde (watch free on DAZN). He gets raw about hitting rock bottom, building a bulletproof prayer routine, and why confidence comes from work, not hype.

Attalla lays out how BOXR went from a condo and parking lots during COVID to four Miami locations and thousands of members, and why boxing's discipline translates directly to leadership, sales, and stress control. Together they unpack Saudi's new money, Jake Paul's fighter‑promoter model, sponsorship economics, and the brutal truth: if you're not getting better, you're slacking. If you're serious about leveling up your life, your business, or your fight game—this conversation is your wake-up call to stop playing small and start dominating.
