If you're present, if you're just there and you're on your phone the whole time or taking calls or not really paying attention, it's not worth it anyway for them.

Well, it's a funny thing because what we do is it's all those things wrapped up into one, but everything is a version of that.
What is sports?
It's entertainment.

So if you're watching combat sport, the truth is not that many people are
incredibly like adept at the science or the intricacies of what they're doing they might like to think that they are but like you know they don't know everything about football they don't know everything about basketball they don't know everything about the fight game whether it be mma or boxing but they know the stories that lead you into it

We don't necessarily, the matches are absolutely important, delivering on the athleticism and the excitement and the spectacle of what we do.
