Hey, hey, hey.
What's the matter?

:09:07
l don't know where you've been.
You're my manager.

:09:10
The most important fight
of my career's coming.

:09:12
You're off doing
a goddamn talk show.

:09:14
When's the last time
you were in here?

:09:16
l've been doing publicity.
Publicity for me is exposure for you.

:09:19
- lt's part of...
- Foot Locker?

:09:21
Handing out socks ain't got
shit to do with me!

:09:24
OK, OK, l won't do it.
:09:26
l don't want nosy reporters
in the gym while l work out.

:09:29
All right, l'll send them away.
:09:34
Look, Luther,
l just want what's best for you.

:09:40
l'm kind of nervous about this fight.
Sands ain't nothing to play with.

:09:46
l need you to pay
better attention to me.

:09:48
Hey, after this, l am absolutely
all yours until after the fight.

:09:52
OK? lt's a deal.
:09:55
l promise, Luther. OK?
:10:04
Kallen's Gym.
:10:08
Yeah, hold on.
:10:10
Hey, Jackie.
Doug-somebody from HBO.

:10:24
- Hello?
- You know who l am?

:10:27
Doug Doherty.
Of course l know who you are.

:10:31
Who forgets the unforgettable?
:10:35
Listen, HBO wants pre and post
with Shaw and Sands.

:10:39
Doable?
:10:41
Well, there's a reason
it's not in the contract.

:10:43
We promised our first dance
in Cleveland to a native son.

:10:46
Native? As in local?
:10:49
- You're kidding me.
- Luther knows this reporter.

:10:51
- He's comfortable with him.
- Jackie, come on.

:10:54
This is HBO, the major-domo
of boxing, we're talking about.

:10:57
Not some over-the-air,
commercial network.
