It's really no different, boxing has highs and lows and you can't get too excited when you're high and you don't get too down when you're low. Because it's so cyclical that you just have to play on an even keel throughout.

(Santos) can fight. Henry fights better when he knows he's pushed and challenged, when he has to concentrate every round. So this is a good fight for him.

Well, there's four months to go, so we'll see. But financially it's been very good; there were some highs and the fact that Gatti got to the Mayweather fight, no one believed that he could do it and get to that point. Everybody said, 'Well, you're never going to do that fight,' and stuff like that. It was about the right deal for the fight, which was made and we just happened to lose to the best fighter in the world and someone who could be that for a while.

I think the problem is a lack of television dates, especially towards the end of the year. It is not a small fight to be put together for $50,000 to $60,000. You can't put it on a smaller television network.

It's strictly development for the next year even though he's 25-0. He's a nice kid, a funny kid and easy to get along with. He's not out drinking or carousing. He's just in the gym working very hard.

I think that's the only way to approach it. You can't get too excited, you can't get too depressed. Because it'll turn you either way just because it's the nature of the sport. Kathy (Duva), is clearly the leader and we have our priorities straight and so does everybody else. So once you have that, then you can do your business. Then when you look at it, boxing is really not that important in the whole world if you have everything else. So you just do what you gotta do.

We've wrestled with this idea of doing local shows for a long time. We finally found a place where we don't have to go through our lungs to rent it.
