    Not that Anybody Gives a Flying Fuck, but Effective Sept 16th, REED OFFICIALLY Became a Licensed Matchmaker in the State of Texas...REED's Been Doing it for YEARS Under the Table (Led a Couple Guys to State Titles, Did a Hatley Card in July AND a Yanez Show in August) but Finally Decided to Make it OFFICIAL...

    Plus, Dickie Cole (Commissioner of Boxing in Texas) Pulled REED Aside & Said he was TIRED of "Hearing" that REED Put Shows Together w/Out Being Licensed:lol:....

    REED's Certainly Proud...It's the COOLEST, Most FUN Job REED's EVER Had, but it's Definitely WORK...

    Congratulations REED. Good luck with the shows. The majority of peole really don't know how risky and difficult it is to put stuff together.

    It's Growing DAILY Actually...REED has a SOFT Spot Though...Even for So-Called "Tomato Cans"...REED Used 2 WINLESS Guys on the Hatley Show Back in July...BOTH Guys were KO'ed in the 1st Round...BOTH Fights Lasted LESS than 3 Minutes COMBINED:lol:...

    But in the Weeks & Days Leading Up to the Card (Dealing w/the Dudes Over the Phone then Finally MEETING them), REED Grew to LIKE the Dudes...So NOW, for the Upcoming Show in October, REED is Pitting the 2 Guys AGAINST EACH OTHER...Jermaine Lyles (0-3, ALL 1st Round KO LOSSES) vs. Mike Hull (0-6, ALL KO LOSSES, NEVER Made it Past the 2nd Round)....Quite Naturally, REED's Billing it "Somebody's '0' MUST GO"!!!!:lol:...

    Seriously, REED LIKES Both Dudes Quite a Bit & would B HONORED to Know that he Got 1 of them their 1st (& Perhaps ONLY) Win of their Boxing Careers...They're Both EXCITED about Having a LEGIT Chance of Winning a Fight & REED is Expecting FIREWORKS...

    REED Could B Wrong, but he's Pretty Sure Laurence DOESN'T Wear a Toupee...He's a VERY Cool Dude, but Yeah, he's a SHAKY Ass Ref @ Best...It WASN'T Televised, but REED was in the Ring when Yanez Won the Texas Title...REED Presented it to him, Put it Around his Waist & Everything!!!!....

    The Going Rate (in Texas) is about $200 per Round...Those Guys will Make LESS than that for a 4-Rounder...On Top of that, they'll B Compensated for Travel (Both Guys R within Reasonable DRIVING Distance to Dallas), Given a Hotel Room for Up to 3 Days AND a Per Diem...

    'Preciate the Love, Joe King, Baron & Z...

    U're RIGHT Joe, Shit is ALOT More STRESSFUL than Some would Imagine...BOXING Actually Broke REED's Heart for the 1st Time, as a Result of Matchmaking...As a Matchmaker, U're Basically Playing w/OTHER PEOPLE'S Money & Even Loooooooooooooooongtime Friends Can Part Ways Over MONEY....

    I'll fight Yanez if he'll go down 15 pounds. I don't mean it's a catchweight fight, i just want him to drop another 15.

    Also it's 60/40.

    Get back to me.

    So U Want Yanez in the 97-100 lb Range AND U Want 60%???...That Seems Reasonable, Actually...If U Like, REED Can Arrange for Yanez to Wear Ankle Weights AND have 1 Arm Tied Behind his Back On the Night of the Fight????...

    Deal???

    Congrats, REED.
    I'm sure it's a lot of work, putting the cards together, arranging the details, but it's gotta be one of the most enjoyable jobs of your life.
    And can a man ask for more than a job he truly enjoys doing?

    Cool.

    I'm sure you'll do a better job than many of the big-name matchmakers in the sport.
