Kelly Swanson

Thanks everyone for calling in. We have an exciting conference call today to talk about an unbelievable boxing weekend coming up in Las Vegas. We’re going to hear more about that from Leonard Ellerbe, CEO i Mayweather Kampanjer, som vil kjøre samtalen.

Først på samtalen vi skal snakke med Errol Spence, Jr., og hans motstander, Roberto Garcia, skulle også delta i samtalen, men, dessverre, han hadde en siste øyeblikk medisinsk avtale om at han måtte komme i før han dro til Las Vegas, så han vil ikke være i stand til å bli med oss.

Dette annen ung gentleman er en fantastisk fighter, and I’m certainly looking forward to seeing him fight. I’m going to go ahead and turn it over to Leonard Ellerbe, som vil gjøre introduksjonene og åpne den opp.

Leonard Ellerbe

Takk, Kelly. I’d like to thank everyone for joining us on this afternoon’s call. PBC on NBC returns to primetime network television this Saturday, Juni 20^th. Den sendingen begynner på 8:30 pm. OG / 5:30 pm. PT. We’ll be coming to you live from MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This event will be sponsored by Corona, og jeg vil gjerne takke dem for deres støtte.

Our main event will feature a 12-round showdown between former world champions Adrien Broner and Shawn Porter. The co-main event features hot prospect Errol Spence, Jr. and veteran Roberto Garcia in a 10-round welterweight fight. Following the fights on NBC, vi vil bytte over til NBCSN for mer flott handling.

Jeg ønsker å starte innføring av co-main event, and I’d like to start out with Errol Spence. Errol Spence is coming to us from Desoto, Texas. He is a 2012 US Olympian. He most recently dominated Samuel Vargas on the April 11 on PBC on NBC card. I’m very familiar with this young, exciting prospect. He’s a very talented fighter and he will be a force to be reckoned with for quite some time. He’s a future world champion. He’s coming to us at 16-0 med 13 KOs. Errol?

Errol Spence Jr.

Der, I’m glad to be here. It’s a big opportunity for me on a huge stage. I’m going to go in and do like I always do, put on a great show and a great performance and raise my stock. Forhåpentligvis, etter denne kampen, etter dette god ytelse, Jeg kan være den viktigste hendelsen på NBC.

Q

Du føler at du er i bevegelse slik du ønsker å være i bevegelse do? Faster? Slower? Where you’re supposed to be? Deretter, hvor fort tror du, at hvis du kan ta vare på motstanderen, Roberto Garcia, denne helgen, at du kan få til en enda mer betydelig kampen, kanskje for en tittel på et tidspunkt?

Og. Spence Jr.

I feel like I’m moving the way I want to move. I’m fighting when I want to and I’m fighting on the regular, so everything’s been consistent and how I want it to go. I’m stepping up the competition, and I’m fighting on the big stage that I wanted to fight on. After I get rid of Roberto Garcia, I think it will be another step up fight. Forhåpentligvis, Jeg kan få en mer navn kjent motstander, forhåpentligvis en tidligere verdensmester i det, og deretter av en gang tidlig neste år, Jeg kan kjempe for en tittel.

Q

I henhold til de fleste, du var den mest talentfulle fighter på USA OL-laget i 2012 og fyren med størst potensial som en profesjonell. Er det en distraksjon for deg? Does it motivate you? Do you believe your clippings? How do you stay focused? Because it seems like you are a pretty focused guy, måten du har gått om virksomheten.

Og. Spence Jr.

For én ting, holde fokus er bare noe jeg selvsagt gjøre, but I also want to live up to the hype and to the high standards that a lot of boxing writers and a lot of people have of me. I’ve just got to go out there and perform and look great, og jeg ønsker å se bra ut, so I have to stay focused and work hard. That’s the only way that I’m going to get where I want to be and get to the top and get to fighting these name-known opponents. Jeg må bare holde fokus og bare holde dedikerte, og jeg skal definitivt kjempe mer kjente motstandere, som Robert Guerrero eller Keith Thurman eller Amir Khan eller noen sånt.

Q

Hva så betyr seier mot Garcia gjøre i forhold til å få deg dit?

Og. Spence Jr.

Roberto Garcia, han er tøff, han en veteran, og jeg tror jeg blir et prospekt og på randen av å være en utfordrer, Jeg måtte møte en fyr sånn, en fyr med mye erfaring og en virkelig god oversikt, so I can go into that contender level and contender status where I can start fighting more name-known guys. I think it’s just a process I have to go through so I can get to where I want to be. Roberto Garcia is a tough fighter. He’s not as known as the guys I would like to fight, men jeg må kjempe mot ham for å få til disse gutta.

Q

Med fremveksten av mange av de østeuropeiske jagerfly, som kjemper for en tittel i sitt andre eller tredje profesjonelle kamp, føler du deg presset til å liksom gå opp din egen prosess og ta tøffere kamper og utvikle litt raskere enn vi normalt har sett amerikanske jagerfly i det siste?

Og. Spence Jr.

Do Not. I don’t necessarily feel pressured. Everybody has their own path that they have to take. What those guys did was great, og det er ekstraordinære og virkelig uhørt, men alle har sin egen vei, og alle vokser forskjellig.

Q

Errol, siden PBC har begynt å sende kamper, i 2015, du har hatt, den ene kampen på Garcia-Peterson undercard, men fighter kommersielle eller bio, som har fått mye eksponering. Kan du fortelle meg hva som har vært som å se seg selv på TV og hva reaksjonen har vært til at eksponeringen?

Og. Spence, Jr.

It’s been great. Jeg er spent. It shows that my hard work’s been paying off, and it shows how my manager believes in me. I’ve only been a pro fighter for three years and some change and I’m already being broadcast in with guys that have been pro eight, ti år, elleve år, and I’m head-to-head with these guys. It just shows a lot of people believe in me and I’ve got a lot of people behind me who support me.

Q

Du nevnte Robert Guerrero, Keith Thurman, and Amir Khan as potential opponents that you’re looking at. Do you see them as stepping stones to something bigger, eller er de kampene du ønsker? It sounded like you might have been alluding to a different fight. Det jeg lurer på er om du ser disse gutta som i din måte å bekjempe Mayweather?

Og. Spence Jr.

Not necessarily. These are the guys that are in the top ten, that are in the top five. These are the guys that are supposed to be there after Floyd retires in September, er det disse gutta som kommer til å bli tilsynelatende kjører divisjon, so these are the guys I’m looking at. I’m nowhere near close to fighting Mayweather, because I haven’t even gotten in the top ten yet. These are the guys thatI’m looking at that are in the top ten that are supposedly running the weight class after Floyd’s gone and retired.

Q

Jeg vil spørre deg om hva du vet om motstanderen, Roberto Garcia? Mener du, som en proff, Garcia å være den tøffeste fighter som du har møtt?

Og. Spence, Jr.

I see him as the most experienced fighter. It could be the toughest. It all depends. One of my tough fights was against Emmanuel Lartey. Han var 15-0, og jeg var 8-0 på tidspunktet. But I mean it could be. Han er tøff, han har opplevd, and he’s gritty. I know he’s going to come to fight, så dette vil være en av mine tøffeste kamper hittil.

Q

Nå, you’ve gone back and forth in the last year or so between welterweight and super welterweight. Is there one of those weight classes you particularly want to focus upon?

Og. Spence Jr.

Jeg bor på 147, and welterweight is my weight class. A lot of times I might fight at 148 eller noe sånt, men 147 er den vektklassen som jeg kjemper på.

K. Swanson

Ok, det var din siste spørsmålet, Errol, but I have one for you that I’d like to add here. The weekend is Father’s Day weekend, og fra det jeg har lest om deg, faren din var ganske instrumental i å sørge for at du hadde en boksekarriere. Jeg lurer på om du kunne dele med oss ​​litt om ditt forhold til faren din, hvor viktig han var for utviklingen av dine boksing ferdigheter, og hvis han vil være med deg denne helgen i Las Vegas.

Og. Spence Jr.

Min far, he got me started in boxing. Han var en lastebilsjåfør, så han pleide å kjøre over natten, og så skal han komme hjem 12:00 pm. eller senere så ta meg til gym. Then after that he’d come from the gym, det var som 5:00 eller 6:00 p.m., og han ville hvile for en eller to timer, og gå rett til arbeid. På tidspunktet, Jeg hadde egentlig ikke tenke på det, men som jeg ble eldre og litt klokere, realisere alle de ofrene som han ofret for meg å være i stand til å bokse og gå til alle disse nasjonale turneringer og alle disse turneringene ut av staten og sånt. He had to pay for the hotel, betale for mat og sånn ut av lomma. We didn’t have any sponsors and stuff like that.

Han spiller en stor del av min boksing karriere. He’s my supporter. That’s my mentor. That’s like my best friend. For Father’s Day, Jeg kommer til å få ham en seier, og det kommer til å bli en imponerende seier at han vil være stolte av, og han vil elske. He played a big part in my career. Without him, Jeg vet at jeg ikke ville være boksing.

K. Swanson

Stor. Thanks for sharing that. I know he was an important part of your story. Så, Leonard, that is it on the side for Errol. We appreciate you taking the time out of your training. Lykke til deg, og vi ser frem til å se deg på PBC på NBC.

L. Ellerbe

The fans are going to be in for a great treat with this fight. Garcia comes with a lot of experience, and Errol is the new guy on the block. He’s making a name for himself. Big things are expected out of Errol, og han vil være ute etter å komme gjennom på lørdag kveld med en stor ytelse.

Og. Spence Jr.

Takk. I’d like to thank everybody for their questions and stuff and everybody tuning in and listening. Just make sure you tune in Saturday. I’m going to put on a great performance and a great show.

L. Ellerbe

I hovedturneringen, vi har en veldig spennende kamp. We have two gentlemen who are very familiar with each other. They both come out of the state of Ohio. They both have extensive amateur backgrounds. I think it’s going to be an excellent fight.

We have Shawn Porter. Like I said, han kommer til oss fra ut av Akron, Ohio. He’s now fighting out of Las Vegas. His most recent win was on Spike in March when he fought Eric Bone. He has fought a number of good fighters, including big wins over former world champions Devon Alexander and Paulie Malignaggi. He comes to us with a record of 25-1-1, med 16 KOs, ingen ringere enn den tidligere weltervekt verdensmester, “Showtime” Shawn Porter.

Shawn Porter

Hva skjer, alle? Thanks for having me on.

Ken Porter

Takk til dere for flott introduksjon, Leonard. We really appreciate you guys having us on today. As far as our training camp, Shawn has been preparing for this fight and the previous fight and the previous fight before that ever since he turned professional. We never really go into a camp, per se. We just continue with what we were already doing. I have been blessed with an athlete who understands that this is his lifestyle, det er helårs, and he just works like that. So when it was time to turn up the heat a little bit, we were already ready to go. When it was time to bring down the weight a little bit, det var heller ikke noe problem.

He’s strong. He’s happy. He’s feeling really good. Today we did a little bit of track work. We headed to the gym, og deretter ble vi minnet om at vi hadde denne telefonkonferanse med dere, så det var absolutt ikke noe problem for oss å gå hjem og sitte ned for en liten bit og ta denne samtalen fordi alle våre hardt arbeid er allerede gjort, ikke bare i denne kampen eller denne leiren, but in previous fights and previous camps that we’ve had before this. Everything is on point. Everything is exactly where we want it to be, og vi ser frem til en stor kamp på lørdag kveld mot en stor fighter.

Q

Hva har du gjort annerledes i denne treningsleiren for å forberede deg til denne kampen, og hastigheten på Adrien Broner?

S. Slitasje

Du vet hva, I’ll let you know. Ja, he is skillful and fast. We haven’t really done much different to try to offset that or anything. The reason being is because we know that I’m just as fast and just as quick as he is. There haven’t been any special workouts that we’ve incorporated this camp or anything like that to do anything differently to offset his speed. We’ve just really focused more so on my skills and also the different techniques that are required to cut off and slow down a fast fighter like him. Så, det er det vi har gjort, bare på et høyere nivå. We’re not overlooking his speed. We’ve just done more of what we need to do to prepare for it, som er det vi alltid har gjort.

K. Slitasje

Bare for å gi dere litt info, Jeg tror Devon Alexander er en av de raskest boksere i boksing, periode. I know that Manny Pacquiao is one of the fastest boxers in boxing. I know that Andre Dirrell is one of the fastest boxers in this sport. Shawn has been able to compete against those type of guys in professional fights, i økter, in camps. We don’t have a problem with anyone’s speed. He’s just as fast as anybody that comes in the ring with him, så når du snakker om en fyr fart, det er ikke noe vi er opptatt av.

Problemet som den fyren vil måtte forholde seg til er at vi er fast, and we’ve got power to come along with that. Så, we’re prepared for that. Just like Shawn said, we just continue doing what we’ve already done. At this point in time, det er ikke et problem i det hele tatt, så vi er klar for det.

Q

Har du på noen måte forberedt deg for kanskje påfunn som kommer sammen i ringen med en Adrien Broner?

S. Slitasje

Du vet hva, I haven’t. I understand that could arise during the fight. My whole thing is this, og det er noe som min far har alltid presset på meg, is being professional at all times. Being professional means maintaining your composure and staying poised and sticking to the game plan no matter what. Så, uansett hva han kan gjøre eller si i løpet av kampen, mer enn sannsynlig det betyr at jeg gjør noe riktig, and I’ll just continue to do what I’m doing and what my corner’s asking me to do. I’m not worried about it at all. Jeg er den jeg er, og jeg får jobben gjort.

K. Slitasje

Shawn’s coming to knock Adrien’s head off. He’s in a real fight, and this is a big fight. I think it’s going to be a very entertaining fight. They both have contrasting styles. Both have certain strengths that they do certain things very well. It’s going to be a very competitive and exciting fight.

Q

You’re an Akron guy. Broner’s a Cincinnati guy. They’re saying it’s the battle of Ohio, og vi kommer til Las Vegas, et flott sted for store kamper hele tiden, et fantastisk sted å ha kamper, men det gjorde du tror kanskje at dere ville bli duking det ut i Ohio for å bosette de skryte for staten?

S. Slitasje

Jeg er en nordøst Ohio fyr, ikke bare Akron, not just Cleveland. It’s a blessing to be able to represent northeast Ohio, and I’ve done that for a very long time with pride. I’ve made everyone proud back home along the way. Igjen, alt jeg har lært, I learned from my dad. He told me a long time ago, Han sier at hvis du ønsker å forbedre, Hvis du ønsker å bli bedre og gjøre ting på høyeste nivå, du er nødt til å flytte på og noen ganger la alene hjemme og ta vare på din bedrift.

Med det blir sagt, Las Vegas is the Mecca of boxing. It’s where we all want to be. I’ve been blessed enough to move out here two years ago, and this is where I always wanted my career to go. A fight of this magnitude is happening where it’s supposed to happen at. The bragging rights will come after the fight.

Q

Hvor vanskelig er det skal være for deg å komme ned til 144? What was the reason that you guys made the fight for significantly under the welterweight limit when both of you guys have been welterweight champions and not had any issues with 147?

S. Slitasje

I’ll answer the first question first. Akkurat nå, vi Cadillacing, and what I mean by that is we’re taking it one day at a time. We’re moving slow so everybody can see us, and we’re feeling good doing it. It’s coming along exactly the way we wanted it to, and it’s been a blessing. We were called and told that we were asked to be 144 pounds by Adrien Broner. That was not our decision. As soon as it was announced to me from my dad, Jeg fortalte ham, hva vi må gjøre for å gjøre kampen.

Jeg antar det er en liten gutt fra Cincinnati som er redd for å slåss på 147, even though that’s a weight that he’s even fought for a championship at. That’s neither here nor there. The weigh-in is Friday. We’ll be there. We’ll be on weight, and we’ll be excited to get on that scale and look him in the eyes at that weight and let him know that we’re feeling good. Whatever advantage he thought could come from that, han ikke får noen.

Den gode ting om det er jeg er velsignet at jeg har en flott kropp, and somehow we can get my body to do what it needs to do. På slutten av dagen, all I can do is give it up to God. It’s been great along the way and, som du sa, Jeg kjempet så høyt som 165 i amatører og selv 154 ved å slå pro, og nå 147 for the last about four or five years. It’s been great, og går ned til noen flere pounds ikke vil være et problem.

K. Slitasje

I call it addition by subtraction. As he loses weight, he increases his opportunity for big fights. Så, vi kom fra 154 til 147, og det er store kamper der og stor kamp navnene der. Her har vi blitt bedt om å komme ned noen flere pounds, and it just so happens he’s living this way year round so he didn’t have to go into some crazy I’ve got to get this weight off type thing. This morning, he was very light. He’s eaten twice this morning already. He’s feeling really good. We’re able to do this, and we’re confident that it’ll continue throughout the week to come off like it is. We’re looking forward to this big fight at a lighter weight. Så, that’s why I call it addition by subtraction. We get more out of coming down in a lower weight than we did being in the higher weight class.

Q

Shawn, både av deg og Adrien har vært i noen spennende kamper, but you’re also both very good boxers also. What is your take on how this is going to play out?

S. Slitasje

I think this fight’s going to go everywhere. You’ve seen me fight. You know that I want to dictate everything. I want to dictate the pace. I want to be the commander in the ring. Med det blir sagt, vi er allsidig, som er flott, and we can box from the outside. There will also be points where we look to move in and get really physical. We’re just going to play it one round at a time and we’ll look to box and also look to punch and put it all together. That’s what you want in a big fight, when you can do so many things and this fight requires you doing so many things. We look to put it all together on Saturday night-the boxing, bokse, trykket, å motvirke, alt.

Q

Når du ser på Adrien Broner rekord, du ser han hadde som tap til Marcos Maidana. Is there anything you’ve learned from that fight with Maidana that you can apply for yourself in your fight with Adrien?

S. Slitasje

Ja. We’ve taken a look at a number of his fights, ikke bare den dårlige, but also the good. I’m steadily reminding myself not to underestimate him, ikke å tenke på at jeg kommer til å komme inn der og gjøre alt som Maidana gjorde med ham, and that’s it and I’ll get the win. We look to do so much more than what Maidana did, men trykket som Maidana søkt at hele kampen var stor, og var det han trengte.

We will look to do some of that. I’ve also taken a look at his earlier fights when he looked really sharp and superb, just to remind myself of what he can do. There were lot of things he didn’t do against Maidana, but there were a lot of things he did do well against some of his other competitors earlier in his career. We look to do a lot of different things this fight. It’s going to take a lot to win this one, og vi er klare for det.

Q

Har det vært konkrete ting som du har lært eller endret i din tilnærming siden ditt kampen i fjor med Kell Brook?

S. Slitasje

Yes and no. I think with that fight, de tingene som vi har endret og jobbet med flere har blitt mer, nummer én, mentale og deretter nummer to, det grunnleggende. Jeg vil si, nummer én, den mentale fordi det var mange ting som ble stilt av meg i hjørnet at jeg ikke innlemme i løpet av kampen. På slutten av dagen, Jeg kan bare se på meg selv, and that’s the reason those things didn’t show up. We worked on a lot of mental preparation since that fight, å være i stand til å ikke bare høre på hjørnet og implementere disse instruksjonene under kampen og deretter det grunnleggende.

There were a lot of things I didn’t do in that fight. I got a little wild at points. Etter kampen, når vi kom tilbake opplæring, vi gikk tilbake hele veien til det grunnleggende som vi alltid gjør, men vi legger litt mer vekt på det mentale aspektet sammen med det grunnleggende.

Q

Denne kampen kommer til å bli lørdag kveld, main event, prime time, på NBC i nesten alle hjem i landet, and it’s going to be televised internationally. Tell us about how that affects you, å være i en slik marquis kamp.

S. Slitasje

Du vet hva, Jeg kan love deg dette, this is something that I’ve always envisioned and I’ve always looked forward to. My fight with Julio Diaz, når jeg først fant ut at det var på MGM Grand, I was really excited. Then I was told it was going to be in one of the conference rooms. The whole entire bubble didn’t bust, but a little bit of the air came out. I’ve just always marveled at the crowd, hvor høyt det blir, lysene, the whole nine. I love every part of the ambiance of a big MGM Grand fight. I’m taking it with a lot of excitement and obviously not over enthused, but I do understand the moment that I’m about to have. The great part about it is it’s a moment that I’ve always wanted, and I’m looking forward to it, så jeg skal ta det med ingen problem i det hele tatt.

Q

Er det noen legit fiendskap mellom deg og Adrien?

S. Slitasje

Du vet hva, there was no animosity about the weight up until the press conference that we had last week. We had the press conference. We’ve known for weeks now that the contracted weight is supposed to be 144. Here we are doing everything that we need to do as professionals to be on weight, være på punkt, være 100%, og gutten som valgte å gjøre kontrakten, vekten 144, oppfordringer om ikke å snakke om den kontraktsfestede vekt, oppfordringer om ikke å snakke om noen rehydrering klausul, ønsker å unngå enhver samtale involverer vekt grenser eller noe sånt.

Jo mer og mer vi snakke om det, the more and more the animosity starts to set in because I’m a professional doing what I do. I’ve done it at this high level for so long, og min vektklasse er 147 for so long. You want to move up into my weight, then move up. Don’t be scared. Don’t be worried. Don’t be afraid. Put your skill on the line along with your record. Put everything on the line. Put it all on the line at 147. Don’t put it at 144 og da ikke ønsker å snakke om det.

I’m not going to worry about it. We still maintain our professionalism and come into this fight and this weigh-in the way we’re supposed to. No personal animosity towards Adrien Broner. I know him, Men jeg kjenner ham fra avstand.

Med det blir sagt, det har alltid vært mer av en, “Hey, hvordan går det?” typen av et forhold, ikke en “La oss gå til klubben i kveld” type forhold, og også, ikke en “Hvorfor snakker du til meg du? Jeg kunne være med å kjempe deg en gang,” relationship. Så, we’re cool. The night of the fight, vi vil være fiender for 12 runder, or however many rounds it lasts. Etter det, Jeg vil være den jeg er og være profesjonell og la boksing ta vare på seg selv.

Q

Betyr denne vekten føles bra, eller ser du selv flytte rett tilbake opp til weltervekt etter dette?

S. Slitasje

Selvsagt har vi gjort dette trekket for en grunn, and that was to fight the kid. Etter det, I don’t think there’ll be any other reason for me to move any lower than 147. It’s not going to be a problem this fight, but it’s not something that I want to entertain in the future. I’m a 147-pound fighter, simple as that. Anyone I fight will be a strong 147-pound fighter, not a blown-up 140-pound fighter and not a took-down 154-pounder. We look to fight everyone at their best, og min beste kommer til å være 144 på lørdag.

K. Swanson

Ok. That actually was your last media question, men jeg kommer til å stille deg et spørsmål selv, something that I actually shared with Errol Spence too. It’s Father’s Day weekend for the big boxing weekend in Las Vegas. Jeg tror alle i boksing vet om det nære, intimate relationship that the Porters have. I’d like, Shawn, for deg å dele med oss ​​hva faren din betyr for deg og hva du planlegger for Farsdag etter lørdag kveld.

S. Slitasje

Ærlig, I’m happy that this fight has come at this time. My dad and I have worked extremely hard together for a very long time doing this sport. What better way to celebrate or wake up and just be proud of what we’ve done the night before, som en familie, som et team? Jeg er spent på å ha denne kampen være kvelden før Farsdag, og jeg ser frem til å være i stand til å våkne opp og gå over i neste rom, og våkne opp min far og bare undre seg på hva vi har gjort, tydeligvis, ikke bare i ringen, men det vi har nå som en familie og som et team.

Han betyr alt for meg, og han vet at. I definitely know I mean the world to him. I’ve said this before, kjærligheten som vi har, at vi deler, vi bærer at til ringen med hverandre, and it’s unparalleled. You can’t match it. Det betyr mye. That makes a difference during the fight.

K. Swanson

Leonard, Jeg vil gjerne slå den over til deg for siste kommentarer.

L. Ellerbe

Ok. I just want to clear up this whole weight issue. It seems that there’s a lot of back and forth about the weight. Both fighters have agreed to fight this fight Saturday at 144 pounds max. I want to be clear with that, 144 pounds max. Both fighters agree upon that. The fans are expecting a great fight, and I think that both fighters will be at their best come Saturday night. Both fighters have had an excellent camp and have prepared to fight at the weight, and both fighters know what to expect from each other. They know each other very well. They both have great strengths, og jeg tror det kommer til å bli en veldig spennende kamp kommer lørdag kveld.

Jeg er veldig imponert over Shawn Porter, with what he’s been able to do as a professional. What I like the most about Shawn is his confidence. As a young veteran, he’s willing to get in there with anybody and those are the things that are a rare attribute when what you see with young fighters. A lot of fighters talk the talk, but they’re not willing to step up. Like I said, one of the most impressive things that I personally admire about Shawn is that he’s willing to get in there with anybody. He’s even called out Floyd Mayweather. He’s willing to get in there with Floyd, and that’s what I like. The guy’s willing to put it on the line, legge den på linje, gjøre det som trengs for å mate sin familie og for å gi fansen det de vil.

Vi ser frem til lørdag kveld, en stor kamp for fansen. Takk for tuning i.

K. Slitasje

Du fyren hadde en flott session der, good questions. We’re feeling good, so we’re looking forward to seeing you guys on Saturday. Thanks for having us.
