Champ.
:13:02
You would let this man, the only father figure
you've ever had, destroy himself for you?

:13:08
- You bet your yarmulke.
- Well, consider it done.

:13:11
No. No, Fred, please.
Now, you're just a little upset.

:13:15
Of course I'm upset.
I'm upset, because I know what's wrong.

:13:21
Peter.
:13:23
- You know what's wrong?
- No.

:13:26
- Artemus?
- No.

:13:28
- Sol?
- No.

:13:30
- How about you, Champ?
- I don't know nothing any more.

:13:33
There's a reason everyone has lost interest in
the heavyweight championship of the world.

:13:39
And it's very simple.
:13:42
People are tired of paying good money
:13:45
to watch niggers beat up niggers.
:13:48
I need a white heavyweight contender
worse than white America needs one.

:13:53
Come on. White? Heavyweight?
Man, the two words don't even go together.

:13:57
That's like saying "black unity".
:14:01
Hey, look, man, cut the bullshit.
I want Shabazz.

:14:04
Shut up, boy! You work for me.
:14:07
And if you do shut up,
and you do work for me,

:14:12
you'll make more money
than you've ever dreamed of.

:14:16
You'll make $40 million.
:14:21
If I'm making 40,
look how much you're gonna make.

:14:24
- I am.
- Hey, look, Rev.

:14:27
Nobody gonna buy the idea
of a white contender.

:14:31
It ain't about race. It's about boxing.
:14:40
- Sit down.
- I just stood up.

:14:48
What's the highest-grossing fight
in the history of boxing?

:14:52
- Uh, Tyson-Gibbons.
- Ali-Frazier.

:14:54
- Hagler-Leonard.
- No, Hagler-Hearns.

:14:58
No, no, no, no, no,
