I-I'm sorry.
I know that you're disappointed.
Fuck disappointment! Are you kidding me? This is the second time in four months, Lisa! What the fuck?! This is a business decision for these guys.
You're a great fighter with an average record.
There's no upside to fighting you.
What do you want me to do with this information?! I fuck up, I don't get a fight.

- Check this out.
How's my guy? Uh, good.
I just, uh He just started the second bag of fluids.
You're good to go tonight, right? Yeah, I think so.
You think so, or you know so? 'Cause Morant's a tough son of a bitch, man.
He could hurt you.
No, there's sponsors coming tonight.
I'm not gonna pull out of the fight.
- You sure? - I'm good.
- I'm just gonna sleep.

I don't want to work a double.
I worked two last week.
Tim's got mono.
- What about Chauncey? - He's out of town.
- Well, what about Madison? - She ain't gonna do it.
She never has to do anything.
Seriously, has she ever cleaned the grill? No.
Has she ever emptied the grease trap? No.
She's in school.
She works 15 hours a week.
But I'm trying to help you out.
Oh, lucky me.
A double.
Thank you.
You always give me the worst schedule.
Why you always got a problem? You keep saying you want hours.
I'm giving you more hours.
What the hell you want? Nothing.
I'll do it.
How badass is that thing? Yeah, this is very practical.
You definitely needed to buy this.
When the shit goes down, Sonny boy, you're gonna be running to Big Papa's house.
Big Papa's house.
Here.
Help me out.
I'm trying to get more tape on Barnes.
I've seen enough.
- Well, it can't hurt to see more.
- You're right.
Lisa's gonna set up some press for you the week before the fight.
I know you hate it, but first fight back No, I'll do it.
It's fine.
Yeah? Yeah.
What? You're very relaxed.
It's disturbing.
I'm not taking this guy lightly or anything.
I'm just fucking ready to fight.
I know you are.
You busted your ass.
I'm proud as hell of you.
Thank you.
You're not in your head.
I like that.
You're off that shit, too, right? The HGH that you think I didn't know about? I know you had an injury and it was necessary, but you get popped, and that follows you your whole career.
So we are done with that, yeah? We're done.
I'm off it.
I'm clean.
I swear.
Handsome kid.
Go see if, uh, Ryan needs anything, okay? Yeah.
- You good? - Yeah.
All right.
Nothing's loaded.
Don't forget we're going to see Garo to look at that Brazilian.
- Where are you going? - To go and see another fighter.
- Anyone I know? - Alicia Mendez? She's young.
Mm, young's good.
You gonna bring those home? I'm not gonna leave them in a gym full of maniacs.
See you there.
Okay.
Bye.
Ah, fuck.
Motherfucker! Fuck! So, where are you training now? At Team Elite in North Hollywood.
Just trying to get out of there.
It's a good gym.
You're not happy? It's all right.
You know, it's just It's not the right fit.
Why, did Marco try to fuck you? He kept asking me out to dinner.
And then you keep saying no and then he'll cancel your privates and no one wants to roll with you and then you're the lonely girl in the corner hitting a bag.
That's pretty much exactly how it happened.
Or it could be that he's lost interest 'cause you've lost your last three fights in a row.
- Yeah, maybe.
- It's not.
It's the not fucking him, but your record isn't helping.
I'm sorry.
Why did you even call me here? I want to sign you.
I think you're a really talented fighter who's gotten some really bad advice, or maybe none at all, and I want to change all that.
What do you mean? I mean, what can you get me? Right now? Probably nothing.
Look.
You're 1-3, and you're not getting any better.
You're taking bad fights with girls with way too much experience.
Well, Marco says I need to take what I can get.
Yeah, no, and if you keep doing that, uh, you'll end up fighting in Palm Springs until you're mercy-killed by the commissioner.
Well, how else am I supposed to get experience if I don't take a fight? My job is to build your career.
I'm gonna find you the right fights at the right time.
The sponsors and all that shit will come later.
You're a beautiful girl, but that's not gonna happen without a plan.
If I go with you, will I be able to train with Alvey? I can't promise that, but he'll evaluate you.
I told him about you, and, uh, he's hoping you'll come by the gym.
Ohh! Yeah, I miss your old house, man.
Fuck my old house, dude.
I like this place.
I get my own space here, Mac.
Ohh! Ohh! I got I got my own theories about this whole fucking thing.
What thing? You know, about the whole business industrial complex of the sport.
Sport, you know? See? It's fucking It's like I'm a fighter, dude.
I'm a fucking fighter.
I'm not a sportsman, sir.
Jesus.
- Have you ever read Sigmund Freud? - I know who he is.
He's fucking amazing, man.
For instance, do you ever get depressed? Huh? When I think about my grandpa, all right? Like, uh, he was more like a father.
No, Mac, I'm saying, like, for no fucking reason, like you're sitting in your house and you can't manage to do another fucking thing.
You can't motivate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what that is.
That's fucking Freud, dude.
That is anxiety, and you're having it because you are suppressing your impulses.
All the shit that is built into you Fucking, fighting, surviving All the animal shit.

"If nobody wants to work that shift, give it to Christina.
" In the meantime, this Madison girl, who has gigantic boobs, has Jamal wrapped around her finger.
I wouldn't be surprised if she's making the schedule.
Why don't you just tell this guy what hours you want to work? It doesn't work that way, honey.
Haven't you ever had a job? That's actually not good.
I get paid to fight.
Yeah, but you need to know what it feels like to have a boss.

All in all, it's not a bad deal.
For you, it's a good deal.

I worked two last week.
Tim's got mono.

She never has to do anything.
Seriously, has she ever cleaned the grill? No.
Has she ever emptied the grease trap? No.
She's in school.
She works 15 hours a week.
But I'm trying to help you out.
Oh, lucky me.
A double.
Thank you.
You always give me the worst schedule.
Why you always got a problem? You keep saying you want hours.
I'm giving you more hours.
What the hell you want? Nothing.
I'll do it.
How badass is that thing? Yeah, this is very practical.
You definitely needed to buy this.
When the shit goes down, Sonny boy, you're gonna be running to Big Papa's house.
Big Papa's house.
Here.
Help me out.
I'm trying to get more tape on Barnes.
I've seen enough.
- Well, it can't hurt to see more.
- You're right.
Lisa's gonna set up some press for you the week before the fight.
I know you hate it, but first fight back No, I'll do it.
It's fine.
Yeah? Yeah.
What? You're very relaxed.
It's disturbing.
I'm not taking this guy lightly or anything.
I'm just fucking ready to fight.
I know you are.
You busted your ass.
I'm proud as hell of you.
Thank you.
You're not in your head.
I like that.
You're off that shit, too, right? The HGH that you think I didn't know about? I know you had an injury and it was necessary, but you get popped, and that follows you your whole career.
So we are done with that, yeah? We're done.
I'm off it.
I'm clean.
I swear.
Handsome kid.
Go see if, uh, Ryan needs anything, okay? Yeah.
- You good? - Yeah.
All right.
Nothing's loaded.
Don't forget we're going to see Garo to look at that Brazilian.
- Where are you going? - To go and see another fighter.
- Anyone I know? - Alicia Mendez? She's young.
Mm, young's good.
You gonna bring those home? I'm not gonna leave them in a gym full of maniacs.
See you there.
Okay.
Bye.
Ah, fuck.
Motherfucker! Fuck! So, where are you training now? At Team Elite in North Hollywood.
Just trying to get out of there.
It's a good gym.
You're not happy? It's all right.
You know, it's just It's not the right fit.
Why, did Marco try to fuck you? He kept asking me out to dinner.
And then you keep saying no and then he'll cancel your privates and no one wants to roll with you and then you're the lonely girl in the corner hitting a bag.
That's pretty much exactly how it happened.
Or it could be that he's lost interest 'cause you've lost your last three fights in a row.
- Yeah, maybe.
- It's not.
It's the not fucking him, but your record isn't helping.
I'm sorry.
Why did you even call me here? I want to sign you.
I think you're a really talented fighter who's gotten some really bad advice, or maybe none at all, and I want to change all that.
What do you mean? I mean, what can you get me? Right now? Probably nothing.
Look.
You're 1-3, and you're not getting any better.
You're taking bad fights with girls with way too much experience.
Well, Marco says I need to take what I can get.
Yeah, no, and if you keep doing that, uh, you'll end up fighting in Palm Springs until you're mercy-killed by the commissioner.
Well, how else am I supposed to get experience if I don't take a fight? My job is to build your career.
I'm gonna find you the right fights at the right time.
The sponsors and all that shit will come later.
You're a beautiful girl, but that's not gonna happen without a plan.
If I go with you, will I be able to train with Alvey? I can't promise that, but he'll evaluate you.
I told him about you, and, uh, he's hoping you'll come by the gym.
Ohh! Yeah, I miss your old house, man.
Fuck my old house, dude.
I like this place.
I get my own space here, Mac.
Ohh! Ohh! I got I got my own theories about this whole fucking thing.

I'm not a sportsman, sir.

Haven't you ever had a job? That's actually not good.
I get paid to fight.
Yeah, but you need to know what it feels like to have a boss.
Why do I need to know that? Well, pardon me, Your Highness.

Am I wrong? Boys, how you doing? How's everything going over here? How is Hassan's knee? That's really the topic of conversation.
Godspeed to his recovery.
Godspeed to all.
We've been very sanguine about the entire affair.
