I know. I'm going to cut you right off because you asked a million-dollar question. I wish you didn't, but you did. You did. When do I get paid? That's why you get paid. I get it. You took the words out of my mouth. That's why you are where you are. And that's why I'm here.

Cuss told somebody that If Teddy Atlas got his way, he might have been a better person, but we would have risked him not being a great fighter.

I thought he meant, I think he meant that Cuss knew more than I did of what was about to come and what would come and what the world was, how people would try to steal him, how people would take him, how people would steal his guy.
