It's the marketability of...

people, this is what I knew I had to get right as well.

And a lot of, I say that to my teammates as well.

I'm like, do you know how you're going to market yourself?

And they're like, no, no.

You know, if I beat people up, it's like, it doesn't always just, unfortunately it should, but it doesn't, that's not what's going to get you.

If I have to, as a,

promotion owner and the person managing everything, I'm either gonna pick you that's beating everybody but nobody cares about or this guy that's pretty decent but everyone's making noise about, gonna pick that guy.

So you need to be able to market yourself.

And I knew that from the jump, and this is before really social media was massive, massive is a thing.

But I said to myself, okay, I need to look in, how am I going to market myself?

Because we don't have that much time like on the mic.

The interviews at the time, I don't feel like people got the recognition.

People just cared about the fight.

They just want to watch the fight.

I didn't care what you said beforehand, unless you're arguing or shouting, you know, there's beef.

Unless you grab that mic and go crazy.

This is why he's on the mic now.

But it was balanced with that.

He's the king.
