During a Super Bowl week radio interview with ‘Bob and Dan’, Herschel Walker responded to comments made earlier in the week by Jose Canseco who called out the NFL hall-of-famer claiming he wants to show Walker who the ‘real bad boy of the Sports industry is’.

In response, Walker had this to say:

‘Canseco wanted to fight me, and what’s strange about it is that what I do is not a circus, not going in there playing trying to make money. My money went to Pastor Evans at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. All my proceeds went there. I didn’t get into this to make money, I got into it for the competition. Jose is doing this for the money and my thing is, if he wants to fight me and thinks it’s going to be a circus, I will hurt him. This is not a joke, I will hurt him. I don’t do things as a joke [or] as entertainment. When we go out there and play a flag football game, that’s entertainment, that’s having fun. But this MMA fighting is real, you can get hurt and he doesn’t understand this. I’m doing this as a fighter, not as a joke.’

Say what you will about Walker’s abilities as a mixed martial artist, the guy is a class act who takes professional sport very seriously. MMA certainly doesn’t need a ‘circus’ to help draw in more fans, but it would be nice to see Walker shut Canseco up for good should this war of words continue.
