'Ultimate old man metaphor': Bernie Sanders compares drug companies to boxing legend

Bernie Sanders wants to remind voters that this isn’t their grandfather’s political campaign! Actually, maybe it is:

Hillary Clinton has spoken out about how she likes to watch football, so maybe Bernie thought it was time to keep up in the sports mentions department.
