:27:03
Yeah. Who are you
to give advice, creep-o?
:27:25
Are the doctor's
reports confirmed?
:27:28
Definitely.
:27:29
"Mac Lee Green has a
severely cracked metacarpal
:27:33
"in his left hand."
:27:35
Damn.
:27:36
We can cancel the fight if
you're set on fighting Green.
:27:41
What about all the time
Apollo's invested?
:27:45
We can find a solution.
:27:47
Find me another
ranked contender.
:27:50
Apollo's already done
$1 million worth of publicity,
:27:55
has contracts with
20 different organisations.
:27:59
Ernie Roman's fighting
in France that week.
:28:03
Get Buddy Shaw.
He's ranked fifth.
:28:06
Went to California
and gained 50 pounds.
:28:09
I got hold of every
worthwhile contender.
:28:12
Five weeks isn't enough
time to get into shape.
:28:16
Shape nothing. They're afraid.
:28:18
Everybody in the world
will see this fight.
:28:21
They don't want to be
the chump that gets whipped.
:28:25
All I can say is
I'm a good promoter.
:28:28
I've promoted fights
in every country in the world
:28:33
but I don't know
what the hell else to do.
:28:41
I do.
:28:44
Without a ranked contender,
this fight needs a novelty.
:28:49
This is the land of opportunity.
:28:51
So Apollo Creed,
:28:52
on January 1 st,
:28:54
gives a local underdog
fighter an opportunity.
:28:57
A snow-white underdog,
on this poster with me.
