Did Emma Stone say 90 million? That would roughly equate to 1/3, or 33% of the american population. Pretty impressive.

he played that 'character' amazingly. Similar to Andy Kaufman when he turned to wrestling. It's just a shame he nearly hurt the women's movement but from what BJK has said that was never his intention and was actually a supporter of womens rights and equal pay.

Even McEnroe said Riggs threw the match *subliminally*

Equality: Over the hill idiot against top female. He bet against himself.

This is called duping delight. The match was RIGGED his name was RIGGS. LOL. Bread and Circus.

She slaughtered him! Not just beat him - slaughtered! Tennis is a game of skill and tactics, not just brute strength and she left him in the gutter!

Larry David vibes...I like this guy

BillyJean kick your butt.🤣🤣🤣

Bobby Riggs, for all his vitamins and fitness, died at age 77...the average life expectancy of a US male. 🤷‍♂️ 9:33

I;d rather she won the money than him.

Yes, he threw the match...

I'd bet that Michael Chang or Pat Cash would beat Serena every time.

broke the mold

g b riggs

kinda reminds me of larry david

Interesting to read some of the comments here. Firstly, this guy was eccentric, a brilliant actor and gave the media exactly what they wanted. All the hype and drama of being a chauvinist, and of course, the general public ate it up like a Sunday roast. He gave BJK and female tennis in general a platform and a spotlight when there wasn't one there before. Bobby was a master of self-promotion and marketing. A smart guy who played everyone for a fool, even when he deliberately lost to further help BJK's cause. BJK knew what he was doing and that's why she had such a deep love and respect for him up until the very end of his life. In regards to the vitamins, most are water soluable and the extra nutrients would have been expelled in his urine. Also, vitamins were nowhere near as strong or widely available almost 50 years ago as they are today. You would have needed a prescription or a damn good reason to take them back then.

Legend

Great video! Thanks for posting!

when did this aire?

I bet Ethel Kennedy can beat Bobby.

Is this guy high-functioning?

He was to tennis was Amarillo Slim was to poker.

Bobby Riggs, the ultimate hustler and "tennis bum" with three grand slam titles no one remembers. As they said, I might tell him to shut up but I sure as hell wouldn't bet against someone with this many aces up his sleeve. He was a fast-talking quasi-charlatan who made it hard to tell truth from bull shit. But he was in some strange way good for the game and brought interest to tennis at its height of popularity in the 1970's.

I like and respect the hell out of BJK but Bobby Rigged it.

He reminds me of a younger version of the old guy in 1st Cocoon movie. The old man with glasses who's wife dies in movie. The Oldman who was always negative about everything l

people that eat pills like to explain themselves no question of that

415 vitamins per day. There's your proof these pills do nothing useful for your body because with that much it should kill a horse.

I would love to see women and men match's on the pro circuit . I think we would find them pretty equal.

so funny...even today people cant admit he lost plain and simple...he threw the game...yeah that's only way Billie could beat this broke down player...um ok...

OMG. He talked so much. My ears hurt just listening to him!

3:52 No wonder he lost: taking "those 415 vitamins a day". They probably swished around in his stomach and caused cramps!

Damn Carell did a good job?

Leonard off Big Bang Theory?

I think Bobby was a wonderful human being.. I think thats the problem with Feminists Today.. They lack a fucking SENSE OF HUMOR!! If any of them had a sense of humor they might actually WIN the hearts and minds of people.. Bobby was NOT a sexist man at all.. but because he played one.. fems would lump him in the same group as the REAL assholes.. I Think sense of humor is incredibly important in LIFE.. when u remove it.. you lose the battle before its started.. Ive not once seen a feminist i found (not only funny) but fucking LIKABLE!!

Hey Bobby, it’s called a multi vitamin

This guy talks too much, like he's coked up or some shit. I bet it's impossible to relax around him

I missed this epidode of Curb Your Enthusiasm! 😂😂

Wasnt born back then but that was a cool clip to see. Based on the comments (even in this day and age), its easy to see why a 50+ yrs old man and star female tennis players resorted to shenanigans for attention and money. Sadly, nobody is taking them seriously even today!

They should have focused more on him in the movie he was a far more interesting and vibrant character than Billy Jean King. Steve Carell did a fantastic job playing him.

Couldn't CBS come up with a better location for the interview with Wallace and Riggs? On beach chairs on a patch of worn grass? I got a kick out of Bobby Riggs, but I'm glad BJK beat him. Enjoyed the movie too.

That's a lot of vitamins dawg

Propaganda.

Sorry feminazis - Riggs threw his match against Billie Jean King to satisfy gambling debts with mobsters. He was the favorite, he had them bet on King and they made a bucket of money.

What a huckster. This guy is a legend. Reminds me of my friend Johnny with the gambling addiction who never stops running his mouth.

Bobbie r. Was a hustler trash talking dude on the planet. Can't get a word in . Bobbie r. R.I.P. Billy j. Never went pass three sets in tennis.

This needs to be intro to hustling. Today he would be muzzled medicated and scared to so much as say the word bet.

This guy was an absolute gift for the mafia.

What a loud mouth jerk. How annoying. No wonder people hated him back then.

I’m surprised he didn’t die on the spot gobbling down all 100 of those pills.

What a performer. I'd pay to watch him play. RIP
