I mean, my family cried every day.

I mean, when I would see them, so I stopped seeing them.

But I trained for like a year and went out there.

And people believed, well, they prayed.

I also say they believed in me, but no, they prayed for me.

Even people close to him.

So he was in the boxing team at HBO with a guy named Larry Merchant.

And even Larry Merchant was betting, was predicting that Sugar Ray Leonard was going to beat, that Marvin Hagel was going to beat Sugar Ray Leonard.

The odds were three and a half to one against him.

And Larry Merchant, I think as you wrote in the book, came in the ring before the fight and said, prove me wrong.

And it was just this impossible.

I pay $39.

I have all my friends from high school over.

They're all so sick and tired of me talking about how much I love Sugar Ray Leonard.

To be annoying, they're rooting for Marvin Hagler.

In my house, I bought the fight.

They didn't give me any money.

$39 is all the money I had in my drawer in my room.

And I got to give it to my parents.

And now we're set.
