Very well put, man.

I appreciate you saying so. Thanks much.

Thank you for letting me know you think so. Very kind of you.

Thanks for letting me know your response to all this.

Thanks for letting me know you liked the piece, Jim. It was actually an exciting fight.

Thank you, man. Please keep reading. Much obliged.

Thanks for saying so. Sorry I got the call wrong.

Means a ton to me that you’d let me know, man. Thank you.

It was a weird fight, wasn’t it?

Thanks, Adrien. I’m a big fan of Brin-Jonathan Butler’s too. Also a great guy, by the way.

I imagine that this was the idea behind the Ortiz fight. And it worked strategically.

Thanks for saying this, Franky. Not one person sitting near me in the press row had Wilder anywhere close to being ahead.

Nah, I don’t regret it. I got it wrong. Unlike you, though, I got paid for what I wrote and got to sit at ringside.

Not if he doesn’t have to.

Thanks for reading it anyway. And, if you’ll remember, in the article I actually picked Lomachenko to beat Rigondeaux.

Honestly, there is no one specific way that payoffs are handled in fixed fights.

He really did look ancient, didn’t he?

I’m getting all kinds of after-the-fact heat for the piece, so really appreciate knowing that there are people who get it. Thanks for that.

I need to see the fight again. I’m still not sure how to interpret what I saw. Thanks for letting me know how you feel about it.

That’s unbelievably flattering, Bart (especially considering I got the call wrong). Thank you for letting me know.
