Two of these fighters will emerge that night, hopefully, with that label on them.

(Santos) can fight. Henry fights better when he knows he's pushed and challenged, when he has to concentrate every round. So this is a good fight for him.

At the end of the day we'll lose a little bit of money. But it's OK because we know we're building something.
allow bit dollars financial goes lose losing mind optimistic seventh structure thousands
We'll try it, see how it goes and then go from there. I'm a little bit more optimistic because this financial structure will allow it to be a little more successful. You don't mind losing money, but you just don't want to lose thousands and thousands of dollars when we're on our seventh show.
anywhere fight hell
Will he fight anywhere else? It'd have to be a hell of an offer.

We've wrestled with this idea of doing local shows for a long time. We finally found a place where we don't have to go through our lungs to rent it.

Both sides would like to put it together, but depending on how the deal is structured will depend on if the fight gets made. Our discussions were good enough to have another discussion.

It's strictly development for the next year even though he's 25-0. He's a nice kid, a funny kid and easy to get along with. He's not out drinking or carousing. He's just in the gym working very hard.

believed best deal everybody fact fighter four happened highs lose months stuff
Well, there's four months to go, so we'll see. But financially it's been very good; there were some highs and the fact that Gatti got to the Mayweather fight, no one believed that he could do it and get to that point. Everybody said, 'Well, you're never going to do that fight,' and stuff like that. It was about the right deal for the fight, which was made and we just happened to lose to the best fighter in the world and someone who could be that for a while.
fight lack problem small smaller television together towards
I think the problem is a lack of television dates, especially towards the end of the year. It is not a small fight to be put together for $50,000 to $60,000. You can't put it on a smaller television network.
alive house safe
I think it's safe to say the house of Gatti is alive and well again.
approach boxing clearly either everybody gotta leader nature priorities straight turn
I think that's the only way to approach it. You can't get too excited, you can't get too depressed. Because it'll turn you either way just because it's the nature of the sport. Kathy (Duva), is clearly the leader and we have our priorities straight and so does everybody else. So once you have that, then you can do your business. Then when you look at it, boxing is really not that important in the whole world if you have everything else. So you just do what you gotta do.
boxing cyclical excited highs keel lows
It's really no different, boxing has highs and lows and you can't get too excited when you're high and you don't get too down when you're low. Because it's so cyclical that you just have to play on an even keel throughout.
