l'm kind of nervous about this fight.
Sands ain't nothing to play with.

:10:11
l need you to pay
better attention to me.

:10:13
Hey, after this, l am absolutely
all yours until after the fight.

:10:18
OK? lt's a deal.
:10:20
l promise, Luther. OK?
:10:30
Kallen's Gym.
:10:34
Yeah, hold on.
:10:36
Hey, Jackie.
Doug-somebody from HBO.

:10:51
- Hello?
- You know who l am?

:10:54
Doug Doherty.
Of course l know who you are.

:10:58
Who forgets the unforgettable?
:11:02
Listen, HBO wants pre and post
with Shaw and Sands.

:11:06
Doable?
:11:08
Well, there's a reason
it's not in the contract.

:11:11
We promised our first dance
in Cleveland to a native son.

:11:14
Native? As in local?
:11:16
- You're kidding me.
- Luther knows this reporter.

:11:19
- He's comfortable with him.
- Jackie, come on.

:11:22
This is HBO, the major-domo
of boxing, we're talking about.

:11:26
Not some over-the-air,
commercial network.

:11:28
Look, Doug, we agreed to a post.
That's the best l can do.

:11:32
This local guy has been
too terrific to me.

:11:35
Can he guarantee
a double-digit rating?

:11:38
Make you queen for a day?
Longer if Luther wins?

:11:43
l'm holding the keys
to the kingdom, Jackie.

:11:45
All you gotta do is reach out
and grab them.

:11:49
lf you're man enough.
:11:51
- Are you man enough, Jackie?
- That's highly sexist.

:11:54
- And wouldn't you like to know?
- l certainly would.

:11:58
You know what you need?
lt just came to me.
