Bob Menery appears to have simultaneously cared very deeply about his fight with Johnny Manziel, and taken it without any degree of seriousness.
The social media star is said to have begged former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Manziel to take the bout on Brand Risk Promotions for weeks. However, once Adin Ross made the fight happen, he did minimal training and also didn’t stop his partying ways.

“At the end of the day I would nibble a zap around every hour going into the fight. I got there four hours later and I’d be like ‘Jake come here, give me a zap’. The commission was all there, and Timmy Bounceback [his cornerman] came in hammered, I had a couple of shots before the fight.
“I guess the best the commission can do is they can breathalyze you and if you fail it the fight doesn’t happen. So Timmy comes in hammered with beers and the lady comes in like ‘what’s going on here?’
“She maybe thought I was f—ing drunk and s—. So I got him thrown out, he was my cornerman but he was too…
