Thank you operator. Thank you everybody for joining us. We’re going to get to the fighters for this huge, huge day of boxing next Saturday, יולי 18. I did want to first turn the call over to Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports who can get into the details of the fights and the first fighter we will have speaking immediately after Stephen is Chris Arreola. But Stephen please kick it off.

Thanks very much Lisa. As Lisa said, it is a huge weekend of boxing coming up on CBS and SHOWTIME. First on Friday night we’ve got a stellar SHOBox card featuring six undefeated boxers in action.

Then on Sunday we have a unique day/night double header, which as far as we have found is unprecedented. It’s CBS and SHOWTIME teaming up to televise a total of five fights, including two world title fights and a title eliminator, all coming from the Don Haskins Center in my hometown, טרעטן, טעקסאַס.

So the SHOWTIME family is very happy about these events, as are all the rabid boxing fans that are in the El Paso area. בייַ 1:00 פּ.ם. PT/4:00 ET on CBS we have the always exciting heavyweight star Chris Arreola as well as the U.S. debut of super bantamweight world champion Carl Frampton.

Shortly you’ll hear from both Chris and Carl as well as Carl’s promoter Barry McGuigan. Interesting note about Barry McGuigan, obviously a Hall of Famer in his own right. Barry McGuigan appeared in one of the first televised bouts ever on SHOWTIME back in 1986 against Steve Cruz. Unfortunately he didn’t win that night, but he was one of the very first televised events on SHOWTIME. It’s a pleasure to have him back.

און אין די אָוונט חלק פון די טעלאַקאַסט אויף שאָוטיים, 7:00 פּ.ם. פּט / 10:00 פּ.ם. עט מיר האָבן וואָס איז איצט אַ דרייַ קעמפן קאָרט. מזל צו מעלדן אַז מיר ווע צוגעלייגט א דריט קעמפן צו די קאָרט, די זייער יקסייטינג אַמיר ימאַם וועט זייַן גענומען אויף Fernando אַנגולאָ אין אַ סופּער לייטווייט טיטל עלימינאַטאָר.

און מיר זענען אויך יקסייטאַד צו האָבן אַ סופּער פליוועיגהט וועלט טשאַמפּיאָנשיפּ מקדזשאָע Arroyo, די יקסייטינג פּאָרטאַ ריקאַן שטערן, קעגן אַרטהור Villanueva. פון קורס די כעדליינער איז אַ שלאַכט פון צוויי זייער יקסייטינג מעקסיקאַן פיגהטערס דזשוליאָ Cesar טשאַוועז, דזשוניער. and Marcos Reyes.

So all in all, it could be a very historic day. It’s certainly unprecedented as far as we know in in this sport. Now I’m going to turn back over to Lisa.

ל. מילנער

Okay great. Thanks so much and we’re just going to go straight ahead and introduce Chris “די נייטמער” אַררעאָלאַ. Chris could you please make an opening statement just about training camp and then we will open it up for questions?

Chris Arreoloa

Well I’m over here in Riverside training. I’ve been out here for the past seven weeks working hard, grinding every day, getting ready for this big fight in El Paso. You know El Paso is a big fight town and I’m looking forward to exhibiting my boxing skills and showing everybody that I’ve still got it and I’m still a force to be reckoned with and I’m going for the title run again.

ק

Just talk a little bit about this next fight and your opponent. What do you know about him? And what are the keys for you?

C. אַררעאָלאַ

I know that he’s a very slick fighter, a very slick boxer, a boxer that switches a lot, switches from left to righty, depending on the kind of options that you offer them. And the thing that I’m going to need to do is use a lot of my angles and give him a different view because he’s a very skilled fighter and I want to take him out as soon as I can because they don’t pay me overtime. And the El Paso fans deserve a good outing from me.

ק

I know you’ve had a couple of title shots in your career, קריס, and I know there’s been some talk of you getting another title shot in September. What’s your focus right now? What’s your mentality like?

C. אַררעאָלאַ

My focus right now, it’s the 18th. That’s my one and only focus because without that win, there is no title shot. You’re only as good as your last win, and that’s the way I feel. So all the talk is just talk. It doesn’t mean anything until I win this fight. Then we can really talk about it. So first things first is the 18th. I want to make sure that I put on a good fight because Fred is a good fighter and when I beat him I want to beat him in a fashion that people want to see me fight Wilder, not just have it given to me.

I want to deserve that title fight. I want people to want to see that fight. So that’s my main goal of this fight, to showcase my skills and show everybody that I deserve another title shot.

ק

Chris is there an ideal weight for you to fight at and what do you plan to come in, tip the scales at on fight night?

C. אַררעאָלאַ

My main goal – ערשטער און פאָרעמאָסט מיין הויפּט זאַך איז ווייל אין באָקסינג פאָרעם. מיין וואָג טוט ניט פאַרטראַכטנ זיך מיין טריינינג. די הויפּט זאַך איז איך ווילן צו זייַן אַ גוט באָקסינג וואָג און גרויס באָקסינג וואָג אין סדר פֿאַר מיר צו גיין די פול צען ראָונדס, אין סדר פֿאַר מיר צו וואַרפן 80 צו 100 פּאַנטשיז אַרום. וואָס איז מיין הויפּט ציל איז צו וויטרינע מייַן באָקסינג סקילז.

ווי ווייַט ווי באָקסינג וואָג, אויב איך געהאט אַ אָפּטימאַל וואָג, עס וואָלט זייַן אין דער מיטן-240ס, ווי 44, 45, בייַ די לאָואַסט אפֿשר 42, אָבער פֿאַר דעם קאַמף איך בין טראכטן איך בין געגאנגען צו קומען אין אין די הויך 40s, — 47, 48. אבער די הויפּט זאַך איז על פּאַסאָ fans זענען געגאנגען צו זען אַ גוט באָקסינג וואָג און אַ גרויס באָקסינג קאַמף פון זיך.

ק

ווי טאָן איר נוצן אייערע גרייס מייַלע? ווי טאָן איר נוצן אייערע גרייס מייַלע קעגן אַ קעגנער, דער הויפּט אויף דעם קאַמף קומען אַרויף? ווי וועט איר נוצן אַז מייַלע איר האָבן?

C. אַררעאָלאַ

נו ווי ווייַט ווי מיין וואָג מייַלע, עס ס מער איר ווע גאַט צו אָנטאָן דיין וועט. איר ווע גאַט צו אָנטאָן דיין וועט ווי ווייַט ווי פּושינג אים צוריק. פּושינג אים צוריק איז קלוג מיט די שטויס און מאכן זיכער איך האַלטן אים אין זיין כילז ווייַל איך טאָן ניט ווילן אים ווייל אויף זיין טאָעס ווייַל ער ס זייער גוט אויף זיין טאָעס.

ק

What does it mean to fight on network television, which everybody gets?

C. אַררעאָלאַ

Honestly it’s a privilege and an honor to be fighting on national network TV where everyone gets it. It’s different to hear of regular person – a person that doesn’t even know boxing – know some boxers. Like I’ve been hit up by a guy like, “Hey do you know Keith Thurman?”

זיי קיינמאָל וואָטשט אַ באָקסינג קאַמף אין זייער לעבן. אבער דער פאַקט אַז איצט עס ס אויף נבק, קבס, און אַלע די דרייַ נעטוואָרקס, מענטשן זענען ביכולת צו היטן באָקסערס און וויטרינע זייער סקילז. אַז ס איינער זאַך אַז איך בין אַזוי צופרידן און ב 'ערט צו טאָן איז אַז עס ס ניט נאָר אַ גלייַכגילטיק באָקסינג fans אָבער עס ס ווער עס יז. ווער עס יז קען וואַך מיר קעמפן, און אַז ס שיין באָלוואַן. אַז ס טאַקע אַ כּבֿוד און נאָר דרייווז מיר צו ווילן צו אַרויסווייַזן מיין סקילז אַ פּלאַץ מער, knowing that there’s going to be a wider audience watching me.

ק

קריס. I was just wondering what you thought of Wilder’s performance against Molina and were you surprised that Molina was able to give him the trouble that he did considering what you did to him in your fight?

C. אַררעאָלאַ

To be honest with you, when I watched that fight I didn’t think it was going to last two, three rounds. Personally I think that Wilder carried him. First I think Wilder wanted to get himself rounds. I don’t think that Wilder was really trying to take him out until he actually pushed on the gas.

Sometimes trying to showcase you get caught and he got caught a couple times with some stupid shots that he should never have been caught with. That’s why I never want to go rounds. I don’t care who it is. I want to get him out of there as soon as I can because all it takes is one punch to get knocked out.

I honestly believe that Wilder was just showcasing. I believe that Wilder was just carrying him to fight. I take nothing out of that fight. I take no honor in me taking Molina out quicker than him.

ק

Does it encourage you if you were able to get the opportunity to fight him?

C. אַררעאָלאַ

It didn’t encourage me. It didn’t make me feel any better, any different. What I got to see more off of him is when he fought Stiverne. Now that fight was a good fight. That fight is a fight that I see a lot out of Wilder and a lot of mistakes, a lot of good and a lot of bad in Wilder.

As far as him fighting Molina, did it encourage me? Man, האָנעסטלי, I don’t fear anybody. I love fighting. I want to fight him just because I want to fight him, especially now since he has a title. And do I believe I could fight him? Yes and I believe that he hasn’t been in the ring with someone like me, someone that really doesn’t give a crap.

איר וויסן, I really don’t care about myself. I really care about winning the fight. I’m willing to put my life on the life because I want to win a fight. Now the time that I cried when my trainer stopped me, I didn’t cry because he said I quit or anything. I didn’t quit. I cried because of my pride. I’m a prideful man. I have too much fight for myself. And to quit, that’s horrible.

ל. מילנער

דאנק איר אַזוי פיל. If you give just one quick closing comment and then we’ll move on to Carl Frampton.

C. אַררעאָלאַ

אָוקיי, well I’m really looking forward to July 18 to showcase my skills in front of the whole United States to watch showcase boxing. I’m happy that we’re up here and I can’t wait to showcase my skills in El Paso, Texas which I know has been hungry for big fights. See you on the 18th.

ל. מילנער

Perfect, אַ דאַנק. Okay now I am delighted to introduce Carl Frampton and his Hall of Famer manager Barry McGuigan. We also have Alejandro on the line. But before we have him make an opening statement I did want Carl and Barry to say a few words.

קאַרל פראַמפּטאָן

I’m just looking forward to the fight. I think it’s going to be a good fight. Kind of reiterating what Chris just said there now, it’s giving me a chance to showcase my talents on CBS, terrestrial TV in the U.S., also terrestrial television in the U.K. on ITV. So I’m really looking forward to a good fight.

Barry McGuigan

Just to reiterate that point, as a manager and a former world champion myself, my name was sort of written in stone 30 years ago because I appeared on terrestrial TV. It’s been that way for a long time, and I think what PBC is doing – it’s great for us to be associated with the go-to guy at the moment in boxing.

To get terrestrial television fans interested in boxing, casual boxing fans, not just the aficionados but people who are genuinely of a casual interest in boxing but the ones who will watch big fights. I think it’s great not just for Carl Frampton but great for all the fighters on the bill and great for boxing in general.

So we’re thrilled to be here. We’re already in El Paso. Carl is expecting a tough fight from Alejandro, and we’re very much looking forward to it.

ל. מילנער

אָוקיי, wonderful. We actually also have Alejandro Gonzalez, דזשוניער. אויף די שורה. Alejandro could you make an opening comment just about how training camp’s going and preparing for Carl?

Alejandro גאָנזאַלעז

געזונט, we’re preparing 100% because we’re going to fight a great champion so we need to be 100% ready with the preparations.

ק

אייער נאָמען איז ניט לעפיערעך באקאנט צו די גלייַכגילטיק אמעריקאנער באָקסינג פאָכער און אין דעם קאַמף איר רע געגאנגען צו באַקומען מאַסיוו ויסשטעלן צו אמעריקאנער באָקסינג צייַט בייסיקלי. וואָס טוט אַז מיינען צו איר?

C. פראַמפּטאָן

אַז מיטל אַ פּלאַץ, אַז ס עפּעס מיר און מיין צייַט האָבן דיסקאַסט, איך בין שיין גוט באקאנט אין דער וק און ירעלאַנד אָבער אין די פאַרייניקטע שטאַטן, סייַדן איר רע אַ דייכאַרד באָקסינג פאָכער איר וועט ניט וויסן וואָס קאַרל פראַמפּטאָן איז.

אזוי דעם איז געבן מיר די געלעגנהייַט פֿאַר אַ פּלאַץ פון ויסשטעלן אויף ערדישע טעלעוויזיע. It’s a big deal. I think boxing has kind of been depraved. It’s a sport for the working class and the working class people are not getting to see it because it’s been hidden away on satellite channels for so long.

So this is great for me, well not only for me for boxing and also for our pretty new promotional team Cyclone promotions to have one of their fighters showcased on both sides of the Atlantic.

ק

What was the main reason that you decided to jump on board with Al Haymon and make a trip over to the United States?

קאַרל פראַמפּטאָן

Well we discussed it with our team and it was a pretty easy decision to be honest. I think the exposure that we can get with Al Haymon is absolutely massive and huge.

Even more so than that he’s got a lot of the top fighters around the super bantamweight division all these names that I want to fight, איר וויסן, לעאָ סאַנטאַ קרוז, אַבנער מאַרעס, Gary Russell those sort of fighters that he’s got that Al Haymon controls.

So without linking up with him it would have been pretty hard to make them fights. So it was a pretty easy decision. We are very grateful for the opportunity here.

As I said before to the answer previously it’s giving me a chance for massive exposure here and that’s really the big thing, exposure both sides of the Atlantic.

ב. McGuigan

If I could add to that, there isn’t any bigger than Al Haymon at the moment. אויב איר ווילן צו באַקומען אין די אמעריקאנער מאַרק און די פאַקט איז קאַרל איז אַ סופּערסטאַר אין בריטאַן און אין אייראָפּע און אין ירעלאַנד און די פאַקט איז אַז דיין קאַריערע איז טויט און בעריד אַלע זיי געדענקען איז די שטאָפּן איר ווע געטאן אין די פאַרייניקטע שטאַטן.

אזוי עס ס אַ זייער וויכטיק באַשלוס פֿאַר אונדז צו קומען איבער דאָ און פּרובירן און זייַן ימפּרעסיוו און טריינג צו מאַכן אַ נאָמען פֿאַר זיך.

ק

ווי פיל פון וואָס איז געגאנגען אויף דיין באַשלוס צו קומען איבער דאָ און יקספּאַנד דער מאַרק און זייַן ביכולת צו שעפּן אויף יענע גרויס פיגהץ קעגן לעאָ סאַנטאַ קרוז, גערי רוססעלל אָדער אַפֿילו אַבנער מאַרעס אויב ער קענען יבערקערן לעאָ אין אויגוסט.

ב. McGuigan

דאָ ס דער זאַך, דאָ ס דער זאַך ווידער עס זענען בייַ די לעצט ציילן 27 מיליאָן מענטשן פון איריש אַראָפּגאַנג אין אַמעריקע איך טראַכטן אַז ס אויף די מזרח קאָוסט אַקטשאַוואַלי. אזוי מיר וועלן צו באַקומען אין אַז מאַרק.

עס ס אַ גרויס מאַרק, we need to get as many people on our side as possible and we have great respect for Alejandro and his dad. He’s got a great Mexican boxing heritage and obviously that’s the fight that we’re looking at and concentrating on at the moment.

But it would be foolish certainly of me not to look ahead and plan ahead and think about what are the super fights out there for us and that is against Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares, Gary Russell and I believe Frampton can to go 130 as well and be successful there.

But one stage at a time and we’re not taking our eyes off the ball on the 18th. It’s a very tough fight for us, Alejandro is a great fighter.

C. פראַמפּטאָן

I just agree 100% on everything that Barry said. If you want to do anything in America at the minute the way boxing is going Al Haymon is the man to link up with and we’ve done that.

I’m very pleased with doing that. Me and the team are all very pleased and we think that things are just really going to kick off. But again it’s one fight at a time.

I’m not looking past Alejandro. I leave it to my manager Barry and the rest of the team to think ahead but for me I just think about the fighter in front of me and that’s Alejandro .

He’s the only guy I’ve been thinking about for the last 14 week training camp and that’s the way it will remain until the fight.

ק

I’m just wondering what your thoughts are on adopting fighting on the East Coast, beginning to draw in some of those new American Irish boxing fans who may not be familiar with you yet?

C. פראַמפּטאָן

That’s where we want to be, we want to be on the East Coast. We want to be fighting around the East Coast, ניו יארק, מאַדיסאָן קוואדראט גאַרדאַן, באַרקלייַס צענטראַל, those sort of places, Boston potentially as well.

I’m hoping that there is already talk about my next fight I’m not too sure where it will be but good chance my next fight could be in the UK and Ireland again somewhere.

Then we’d be looking to go to New York or the east coast. I think that’s where my American fan base will be, mainly on the East Coast.

I think they’ll appreciate the way I fight. It’s all well and good me winning fights but I think what the Americans and boxing fans want to see is exciting fighters and I think that I’ve got an exciting style to please them.

So East Coast is where we want to be. I think El Paso was the only matinee show that we could link up with British TV Time. So it’s setting pretty in the UK at the minute, it’s being shown at around 10:00 pm out of the UK.

That’s why we had to go to El Paso but, איר וויסן, I’m very happy for this chance to fight here but of course I want to fight on the East Coast.

ב. McGuigan

Can I also add to that, what we see and Carl wants to do what GGG has done. We want to get the Mexicans fans on our site too and obviously the fight against Alejandro on the 18th of July is a fight that we, that Carl must win, he must win impressively. We hope that we will garner some support from the Mexican fans too and that they will appreciate Carl’s style.

ק

What’s it like working with Barry and what kind of things have you learned from him during your time together?

C. פראַמפּטאָן

Well it’s great. I’ve been with Barry since six years ago. Originally at the start I had done a lot of training with Barry and he’s the best for me and taking me through training sessions.

I lived in his house while I trained in England, the South of England. I have a very good relationship with Barry and the rest of his family. His son is now training me at the minute and he kind of took the reins.

Barry is in the gym most days. He comes and watches me spar and he’s been there and done it, he’s done it all and to be getting advice every day of someone who has done that it’s obviously great and very beneficial to me.

איך בין 28 years old I’m not the youngest guy in the world but I still feel like I’m learning all the time. איך נאָך פילן ווי איך בין געטינג בעסער און איך נאָר פּרובירן און ווייקן ווי פיל אינפֿאָרמאַציע אַרויף ווי איך קענען.

ק

בערי קענען איר ברענגען צו אים איך טרעפן אין טערמינען פון עצה אין די זאָגן פון וואָס צו קוקן פֿאַר ווי ער באוועגט פאָרויס אין זיין קאַריערע?

ב. McGuigan

איך טראַכטן קאַרל פראַמפּטאָן איז איינער פון די בעסטער איריש פיגהטערס אַז דאָרט ס אלץ געווען און אַז ס אַ דרייסט ויסזאָגונג און ער ס 28 יאר אַלט, ער ס קראַנאַלאַדזשיקלי 28 אָבער פיסיאָלאָגיקאַללי ער ס נאָר אַ יונג מענטש ווייַל פון די וועג ער פיגהץ, די וועג זיין נוסח איז.

He doesn’t take a lot of punishment and he can box going back, going forward and I think he’s got a great style of fighting. I think the Americans are going to love him and the 18th of July is the fight where we make our first impression and I believe it’s going to be a big impression.

We’re expecting a tough fight but I really believe that Carl has both the personality, the fighting style and the charisma to make it work over here and, I believe we’re on the threshold of something very big.

ק

Barry does it bring back a lot of memories for you seeing Carl.

ב. McGuigan

The next best thing to actually fighting yourself is being involved with young men and developing talent and as you come along through your career and I’m sure the same is with Alejandro ‘s dad.

Being involved with kids and developing them, especially if they are your own child and often Carl feels like he is part of the family. He’s been involved so long and he’s a really talented kid. He’s very dedicated and it’s great to see him make progress.

For me vicariously I love and appreciate all of the things that he’s doing and making the progress he’s making and turning into the fighter that I always believed he could.

ק

What do you see as being the potential for you fighting either or both Guillermo Rigondeaux and Scot Quigg?

C. פראַמפּטאָן

קוקן, I would like to fight them all. I think the situation with Quigg is he’s outpricing himself on a fight. He thinks he’s worth more than what he is. I was always told by my mother growing up never to sell myself short so I’m not going to sell myself short to Scott Quigg or Eddie Hearn.

I think the Rigondeaux fight is a great possibility. There’s rumors that he may be linking up with Al Haymon and if he does link up with Al Haymon then of course the fight would be easier to make. I believe I could win.

You look at Rigondeaux and I completely admire what he does and his fighting style, but I think I’m the only man in the Super Bantamweight division that can beat him. I’m ready to take that fight whenever it comes.

ק

How long do you see yourself sticking around at 122?

C. פראַמפּטאָן

Well I can stay here as long as possible. I think I could probably, if I wanted to be, I could be a career super bantamweight. I find it that I’m making the weight division a little bit easier with each camp.

But I’m a big super bantamweight. I think Alejandro is maybe a few inches taller than me. He’s about five foot seven area. I’m about five foot five.

איך בין שטאַרק. איך בין זייער, very solid. I’m quite a super bantamweight. But if I wanted I could just stay here for the rest of my career. But I think it’s some sort of legacy and it’s important to move up the weight divisions. I think I would be very dangerous as well.

ב. McGuigan

Very simple situation with Scott Quigg. Scott Quigg has got the regular title. Scott Quigg has never headlined to show, כאָטש ער ס אַ מייַסטער און איך טאַקע אָנערקענען די יאַט. ער מיינט איך טאָן ניט, אָבער איך טאָן. איך נאָר ווילן צו שטעלן די רעקאָרד גלייַך אין אַמעריקע צו. ער ס אַ לייַטיש Fighter, קיין קשיא וועגן עס.

ער קיינמאָל האט מלחמה געהאלטן די מדרגה פון אָפּאָזיציע קאַרל האט מלחמה געהאלטן. די פאַקטיש מייַסטער איז גויללערמאָ ריגאָנדעאַוקס. סקאַט קוויגג טוט ניט זכות 50% פון די בייַטל. קאַרל האט וואַן אַלע זיין טיטל פיגהץ. ער ס גענומען ריסקס. ער ס בייינג אויס ערינאַז. ער ס געווען אַ קאָפּ שפּילן; אַלע פון ​​די זאכן אַז קוויגג האט ניט געטאן. Quigg has got the WBA regular title. די פאַקטיש מייַסטער איז גויללערמאָ ריגאָנדעאַוקס.

When Hearn took it upon himself to go and ask, he went behind our backs and asked if the fight could be sanctioned as a unification fight. He was told no because the real champion is Guillermo Rigondeaux.

So with that in mind, we don’t want the regular title. We’re not interested in the regular title. We’re interested in the fight, but not in that title.

We are of course interested in Guillermo Rigondeaux’s Super world title. That’s a different story. But the fact is, if we’re going to Manchester, we’re putting Carl’s credibility on the line and we’re going into his home first.

When you come into this fight with a voluntary defense, the guy gets as much as the champion wants to pay him. Or even in the mandatory position, it’s still a 75/25% situation. So we said we’d star at 70/30 but the least we would take would be 60/40, and they wouldn’t play ball. It’s as simple as that.

אזוי דער קאַמף טוט ניט ענין און דעריבער מיר איצט האָבן אַ סיטואַציע ווו מיר קענען קעמפן אַ נומער פון די גרויס גייז, צוגעשטעלט קאַרל געץ צוריק און געץ פאַרגאַנגענהייַט Alejandro אויף די יולי 18.

ק

ווי פיל פון אַ אַדזשאַסטמאַנט איז עס געגאנגען צו זייַן פֿאַר איר ניט ווייל אין אַז ארענע פול פון די גרויס סופּפּאָרטינג מאַסע פֿאַר איר?

C. פראַמפּטאָן

איך טראַכטן עס וועט זייַן לעגאַמרע פייַן. איך ווע באַקסט אַלע איבער די וועלט ווי אַ ליבהאָבער. איך ווע באַקסט אַוועק פון שטוב אַ פּלאַץ פון די צייַט. איך ווע שוין אין זייער, זייער פייַנדלעך ינווייראַנמאַנץ אין טערקיי. I remember Turkey being extremely hostile for some reason and I went out there and beat three Turks three years in a row.

ק

Have you noticed any difference around since that fight on ITV?

C. פראַמפּטאָן

I get recognized a lot, but obviously back home in Belfast it’s very good, and especially around a fight. It’s hard to kind of go anywhere without someone coming and asking for a photograph or even just to shake your hand, which I don’t mind at all. I enjoy it and I enjoy people’s company and I enjoy chatting to him.

In London since the last fight it has got a little bit better. Well better or worse; whatever you want to call it. People are approaching me a little bit more. But I can still go fairly unrecognizable in London.

It’s all about the change. We’re fighting here on CBS here. I’m fighting on ITV at prime time – a prime time slot. We don’t have any other big shows to go up against. The last time I fought it was pretty late on ITV much of the day and stuff was on at the same time.

So they took a lot of viewing figures we’re expecting to do about a million viewers here, and obviously when you do that, more people are going to recognize you in the street.

ק

Did you get any feedback from ITV?

C. פראַמפּטאָן

I think they were over the moon with it and that’s why this came back and they’re showing another. You know if they weren’t happy with it they wouldn’t have put me back on again. That’s the bottom line.

So ITV were very happy. They were very happy with their viewing figures and they want to continue a relationship with us and that continues with the fight on the 18th against Alejandro.

ל. מילנער

אָוקיי, גרויס. We’re actually going to take one question for Alejandro and then we have to move on to Julio Cesar Chavez. So can we please have this question for Alejandro and then we will turn it over.

Alejandro you’ve fought before at the Sun Bowl on the Julio Cesar Chavez undercard. Are you looking to upset Carl Frampton this way here and shock the world?

א. גאָנזאַלעז

יאָ, this is going to be my second time fighting on Chavez’s undercard, but I’m very happy to fight a great fighter. But my dad told me, if you want to be best you have to fight the best. So that’s what I think that Carl Frampton is one of the best of the bantamweight champs.

ק

Are you looking forward to fighting in front of a huge Mexican-American crow in El Paso?

א. גאָנזאַלעז

יאָ, אַוואַדע. In El Paso there’s a lot of Mexican people. Like I just said, Chavez is going to be in that fight and he’s a Mexican. So he has a lot of crowd. I have a lot of crowd and it’s going to be a great fight and a lot of people and a lot of Mexican and American people in the fight.

ל. מילנער

We do have Julio Cesar Chavez on the line so we’re going to jump over to the SHOWTIME

דזשוליאָ Cesar טשאַוועז

I’m very happy that we are close to the fight. I have five weeks with (ראבערט) and I prepared 100% for the fight. I feel ready to fight.

ק

יולי, you’re always an honest person. איר ווע שטענדיק געווען זייער אָפנהאַרציק וועגן אַלץ. און מיין קשיא צו איר איז, צי די ביגאַסט פייַנט פון דיין קאַריערע האט שוין דזשוליאָ Cesar טשאַוועז, זיך?

דזש. Cesar טשאַוועז

איך האָבן ניט געווען 100% אַלע די צייַט, אָבער מייַן קאַריערע האט געהאט גורל פון אַקאַמפּלישמאַנץ. איך איז געווען דער ערשטער מעקסיקאַן צו געווינען די מידאַלווייט וועלט טשאַמפּיאָן. איך ווע שוין אַ וועלט טשאַמפּיאָן. איך ווע דעפענדעד מיין גאַרטל. אין דערצו צו אַז איך ווע געשלאגן טאַקע גרויס פיגהטערס. און איך האָבן אַ רעקאָרד פון 48 און 2. And so it’s not fair to say that I haven’t accomplished a lot and haven’t been prepared all the time. But this is a great challenge.

ק

Do you feel you owe the public a great performance?

דזש. Cesar טשאַוועז

Obviously I have to win this fight. I have to be great.

I took on a challenge that was tough. I fought somebody who was 175 פונט. I fought somebody after two years of being inactive.

There were a lot of things going on in my career including the legal problems that I was going through at the same that I was trying to get ready for a fight. It was a tough challenge.

Even though it was a defeat for me I feel like I was a better fighter than him. But he was more prepared. I think that those were the factors. I plan to win this next fight.

ל. מילנער

Okay we actually have Marcos Reyes on the line before okay our next question I just want to let him say a few words about training camp.

Marco Reyes

Well I’ve been Mexico City for six weeks right now in camp with Nacho Beristain, my trainer right now. A number of you have been excited for that fight July 18 which I’m going to face with Julio Chavez and I’m going to be in great shape for it.

ק

Nacho Beristain says that Julio changing trainers is not the issue, that it’s a personal and a mental issue and that’s the problem. Do you have a response?

דזש. Cesar טשאַוועז

Robert Garcia is a great trainer. He has respect for a lot of people. ער ס אַ רעספּעקטעד טריינער. איך טאָן ניט פֿאַרשטיין וואָס נאַטשאָ בעריסטאַין ס פּראָבלעם איז.

ער האט אין דער פאַרגאַנגענהייַט קריטיקירט מיר און ער ס אויך קריטיקירט אנדערע מענטשן. אין זיין קאַריערע ער גייט אַרום קריטיסייזינג מענטשן. אָבער, די פאַקץ זענען פאַרשידענע.

איך בין איז ערשטער מעקסיקאַן מידאַלווייט מייַסטער. איך ווע נאָר האט צוויי דעפעאַץ. איינער איז נומער 2 £ Fighter וואָס איז מאַרטינעז. און איך נאַקט אים אַראָפּ, כּמעט נאַקט אים אויס, כּמעט פאַרטיק די רעכט.

מיין רגע איז קעגן אַ נאַטירלעך 175 פּאָונדער ווער איז ראַנגקט נומער פיר אין דער וועלט וואס ס אַ זייער שפּיץ מדרגה Fighter.

אזוי אויף יולי 18 איך פּלאַן צו ווייַזן נאַטשאָ בעריסטאַין און יעדער יינער אַנדערש אַז איך בין איינער פון די גרעסטע פיגהטערס.

ק

דזשוליאָ האָבן איר אלץ געדאַנק וועגן לוזינג ווידער זינט איר פאַרפאַלן ווידער וואָס וואָלט פּאַסירן אין דיין קאַריערע מיט אנדערן באַזיגן?

דזש. Cesar טשאַוועז

איך בין נישט פּלאַנירונג אויף לוזינג. איך בין פּלאַנירונג אויף ווינינג. ווען איך קעמפן בייַ מיין וואָג איך קענען שלאָגן אַבי ווער. עס ס קיינער אין באָקסינג וואס קענען שלאָגן מיר ווען איך קעמפן בייַ מיין וואָג.

I feel right now that I’m at the best. I feel this is the best part of my career. And on July 18 I’m going to win.

If I lost this fight then it would make me think about retiring because this is not the type of rival that should beat me. The type of rivals that I fought are much better and tougher than this rival.

ק

What big name are you thirsty for?

דזש. Cesar טשאַוועז

Well firstly I respect my opponent a lot. All opponent are dangerous because Reyes, he’s a tough guy.

I have big plans for the division, I will fight anyone out there.

But now I focus on Reyes. After that it’s whatever opponent comes. I’m ready for whatever name

I fight for the people and if the people want a big name I will fight anyone

ל. מילנער

אָוקיי. Julio could you just close out today as you wrap up training camp and head into fight week in El Paso?

דזש. Cesar טשאַוועז

I feel ready to show the people a great fight. I’m ready to show the people my great fighting and I hope they enjoy the fights. Because two Mexican fighters in the ring every time makes a great fight.

I want to send a big hug to all of the people in El Paso. I hope that they come out and support both fighters. This is going to be a great fight between two Mexican fighters.

But obviously I intend on winning this fight. And most importantly I plan on giving the fans a great fight on July 18.
