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.

:12:02
A personal profile.
:12:05
We get some great tape
on fight night.

:12:08
Mix it up, post and pre.
:12:11
Think about it, Jackie.
:12:13
You...
:12:14
...on HBO...
:12:17
...mano a mano...
:12:20
...with me.
:12:30
lt's a cliché, but l'm living proof
dreams do come true.

:12:33
This is the best day, the best time
and really exciting.

:12:37
Just one step away
from champion of the world.

:12:42
Yeah.
:12:44
- What about a whoop?
- A whoop?

:12:46
You know, real exciting,
then whoop, like a cheer.

:12:49
Walk toward us.
Give that a try.

:12:52
This is the best day, the best time
and really exciting.

:12:56
Just one step away
from champion of the world.
