And that day was one of the most awkward days because I rock up at the arena, Tottenham, and Turkey Al-Hashayk says, or his team say, you need to go and see Turkey in the suite at Tottenham.
And I walk in there, and he's there.
We've come to some of the senior execs at Netflix.
And we sit down, and at this stage, I know we're going to do the fight, but we haven't signed the fight.
And there's still a few things to agree.
So I sit down, and Turkey says, right, after the fight tonight, we're going to clear the ring, and AJ's going to get in.
You're going to get in.
I'm going to get in.
And they're going to head-to-head, and we're going to announce the fight.
And I'm like, I said, well, we haven't done a deal yet.
Obviously, the Netflix people there, it's all a bit awkward.
And I'm like, and Turkey's saying, quite rightfully, this is the moment.
I said, well, I don't think AJ will do it.
I said, because we haven't done a deal.
And I don't think he's going to get in a ring to announce a fight that's not signed.
Because we've been here before.
I said, but look, let me speak to him during the fight, see how he's feeling.
Once he relaxes a little bit, you know, blah, blah, blah.
