    I'll get an autograph and will try to bottle his sweat. How's that.

    Thanks for the props. Of the old "big three" Kathy remains my favorite to talk to because she's the most realistic and least-winded. Arum wants everything one way, and a "Hello" and King's direction can result in a two-hour response about absolutely nothing.

    I write for BoxingScene. My Tuesday column on Max is part of the terms of their merger. Ditto for Cliff's once-a-week piece, and David Greisman, et al... There are fight reports that appear on both sites as well.

    But on Arum, I do get a kick out of talking to him, just that it's tough to decipher what's real and what will fall under "Yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth." When he's on his game, I support him. When he's a hypocrite, I speak out on it. Lately, he's been a hypocrite.

    I'm just messin' with you bud.

    I just find a certain Max writer a little hard to stomach when he's dealing with Arum, especially when you get a chance to watch their interviews on video. :lol:

    I know, just that a lot of people have been making that mistake lately. Not that I don't mind contributing to Max - Tom Gerbasi's the man, and I honestly get along with every one on staff. But I still represent BoxingScene when covering events.

    Jake's articles would be better if there were shoutouts to me.

    Nah, I'll actually be in Florida that week anyway, but a trip to Vegas isn't in my budget. The next trip I make out there will be all-expenses paid - which is to say that I'm not going out there anytime soon.

    Besides, I'm saving up for August 22 :partie:

    Jake, I'll give you my tickets to Cotto/Margarito if I can crash on your couch the night after the Yorgey fight.

    I guess somebody had to go.

    The only way it'd be worth it is if Hatton actually fights in the Fatman suit.

    Hopefully it has a good undercard, but that'd be asking a lot for GBP and Dibella to come up with.

    And Malignaggi better have not need another hair cut this time.
