- I don't know where it's coming from.

- What's that, baby?

- What'd you say?

- It's fine, babe.

You want some water?

Yeah, I'm just gonna

take a shower first.

Can you get your socks off?

Yourself?

Yeah. I'll just f***in' shower in 'em.

Billy!

Okay, Mike, go ahead.

Billy, most of us here

had you winning this early.

Were you expecting

such a difficult fight?

Yeah, I don't know, "expect"?

I don't know. You can't expect anything.

Um, I was really looking forward

to just showing up,

walk in the ring, and then

having him fall on the ground.

- Billy.

- No, man, I mean...

I expected a hard fight. You know?

I put my family through a lot.

By the way, Leila,

if you're watching, go to sleep, baby.

Hey, Billy. You're 43 and 0, undefeated.

- Are you running out of legitimate...

- Sorry, can you say that again?

It's impressive.

But who are you gonna fight?

- That's really Jordan and me...

- I think I know one!

Me!

All the fans around the world,

they want to see it.

Y'all tell me, who else is there?

Your crew knows it.

All these beautiful people

in here know it. I know it.

I just want to know

why you won't give me my shot.

All I want is my shot.

I just want my shot.

I'm sorry, who are you?

You know exactly who I am, baby.

He's just trying to make a fight.

And you're that contender, Miguel?

You ain't never been hit

by a real man. All right?

Who's got that...

It's pretty clear that he hasn't

really been hit at all yet, huh?

What are you drinking in that cup, man?

You know what? You ain't no champ.

You're all show, and you know that.

Why you so scared to fight me, Billy?

We all came and gave a good show

tonight, didn't we, Jordan? Yeah?

That's right.

And I'm pretty sure

we did business, didn't we?

Yeah, all right.

Y'all have a good night, okay?

Sign the contract, baby!

Gonna be a fight, Billy?

Just sign the contract, baby!

Is there going to be a fight?

I want you to line it up!

Line it up?

Miguel's just showboating, Billy.

I'm gonna shut him the f*** up.

Line it up.

Turay just makes sense.

If it makes money, it makes sense.

Two for the bills, one for the belt.

The Turay fight makes better sense.

No, no, no, no.

You think Miguel's a better fighter?

No, I didn't say that.

I didn't say that.

What do I got to do, say it again?

- You want me to say it again?

- You want to fight me?

Do you want to say it again?

What do you want me to do?

Why do you do this in front

of all these people?

What happened?

- What's the problem, Billy?

- Hey, yo, yo, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about that.

- I'll just...

- Don't worry about it. Go on.

- Just, come on, man.

- Don't worry about this.
