The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Billie Eilish, Mikayla Demaiter, Sophie Mudd, Britney Spears, Neve Campbell, Pink, Grace Park, and Katy Perry. To his right sit Taylor Hill, Marie Temara, Tate McRae, Anna Torv, Gemma Arterton, Leelee Sobieski, Kat Dennings, and Jewel.
Man In The Hat: "OK. As usual, before we get to questions, there are some people I want to thank. Let's start with Fates Boxing who allowed Taylor Swift to join us tonight for a great fight. Also, thanks to our indie fighters, who, again, made this a fantastic event. And, of course, we can't forget the FCBA Commission for sanctioning these fights and making Asylum possible. Now. Questions. Cable Boy. Go!"
HBO Reporter: "Let's start with Billie and your new girl, Mikayla. Eilish got another win at JMD and Demaiter got a result in a traditional fight in her debut, but you've said there's JMD in her future...after all, her nickname is 'Mass Destruction'..."
(Laughter)
Man In The Hat (smiling): "As you know, with Front Street 3.0, we do lots of things with lots of different fighters. Mikayla's a girl who's definitely JMD qualified, but she'll be doing traditional fights and beach fights as well. We're going to give her LOTS of opportunities and see what she makes of 'em. As for tonight, a lot to like. Some things not to like, as you'd expect in a debut. We'll get back to work and I have no doubt Mikayla will get better every time out. Billie's been everything we knew she'd be when we signed her. Kid has the goods, period. She's gonna keep workin' JMD, beach, fly, some bantam. She can do all of that, so, why not? Cable Boy II. Go!"
Showtime Reporter: "You had a couple of welters in action tonight, with Marie against Jessie J and Tate stepping up there with Beyonce, and you got two results."
Man In The Hat (nodding): "We did, and I'm pleased with what I saw. Marie, as I said, is a triple threat, welter, beach, JMDD. Tate? A quadruple threat, because she can fight light as well as welter. What you have with those two young ladies is physicals that are absolutely unique. Nobody has the power and athleticism Marie combines. And, there's never been an athlete in the FCBA like Tate. Never. Both of these ladies are improving with each fight. They have huge futures in the FCBA. Huge. Tess, dear, go ahead."
Tess: "It's not often you lose a fight at Asylum, but that happened tonight. Sophie looked to be right in the mix for the JMD and bantamweight titles, so this is definitely a setback..."
Man In The Hat: "No question about it. But, this is the FCBA. You're gonna lose fights. You're in there with a former champ like Duff, those things can happen. What matters is how you respond to it. It's been a while since Sophie lost. I'm sure she hasn't forgotten what it feels like, and I'm sure it's not a feeling she wants to have ever again. But. You'll lose fights. How do you respond? That's the key. We're high on Ms. Mudd. Nothin' that happened tonight changes any of that. Now, Smackeroo. Dinner time! Take us there!"
Reporter: "Let's talk about the battle of the Taylors. A huge win for Hill tonight..."
Man In The Hat (smiling): "Absolutely. Absolutely. Taylor Swift, now, she's as good a lightweight as you'll find on this planet. Lineal champ. Ice Hotel. Body saddle. 80-plus wins. Hall of Fame. You beat Taylor Swift, you beat SOMEBODY. But, with Ms. Hill, that's not a surprise, because, that's what she does. She beats people. Kerr. Moore. Lima. Lively. Kendall. Agdal. Ren. DiDo. Now Swift. Taylor Hill BEATS people. Now. Dinner time! Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
