[00:00:00]There's nobody else asking, but if if you show enough about the growth of the sport, which is all related to the UFC, about the amount of money all related to the UFC that's being made in the sport, and about maybe grabbing a piece of the pie or whatever, then I'm sure you could convince people financially that the the the risk might be worth the reward. And that's what he's doing. He's He's selling an idea there. Like I said, I don't think I don't think Tony Hawk was there with this Spike TV guy all in the room, you know, or at a uh you know, for lack of a better term, at a Ruby Tuesday sitting around thinking, "Where are we going to put our money? Let's call Scott Coker." I don't think that's the way it went. I think Scott Coker was out there and saying, "I'm going to I have to I'm going to put something together." And that's what he did That's the difference is I think I could put together a package, and you know, with some of the ideas and some of the resumes and things like that, and probably find some people willing to spend some money on it. But I'm not at all convinced that it's a good point uh to enter this sport anymore. I think that the that the time to enter the sport with a new product has passed or is not here yet again. So, I don't do that. But Coker's interest here is three more years of paychecks. That's all it is, because he's not going He's He's going to give it the the average bland energy that he's always giving it. He's a nothing on camera. You know, Dana you know, I don't like Dana, but Dana has charisma. You know, Dana's an in-your-face guy.

[00:01:44]Uh you know, Coker looks like an autistic person on camera.

[00:01:50]You know, there's I I I you know, there's there's nothing he's going to bring in terms of energy and charisma that the people are going to actually follow and who maybe he'll find another new face or or he's talking about putting together a team and stuff like that.

[00:02:07]Yeah, he was he's been in the business for a few decades so he's got a rolodex.

[00:02:11]So we know what's going to happen.

[00:02:13]It's going to be uh San Jose and what what's the um American kickboxing there's going to be American kickboxing fighters on the show watch.

[00:02:25]That's what he does. That's what he does. That's what he does. That's what he does. That's what he does. That's what he does. That's what he does.

[00:02:29]That's what he does. That's what he does. That's what he >> Right.

[00:02:32]So yeah, so he's talking about doing shows in San Jose. He's talking about maybe doing LA and New York and maybe overseas and stuff like this. But again, and he's talking about new fighters so watch.

[00:02:43]There'll be some American kickboxing guys that we've never heard of before but these guys are going to be great fighters in the future. Yeah, you got to put them in the ring and see. Nobody is at this point got the patience to actually sit and watch fighter
