The reporters sit in front of an empty dais for a few minutes. Then, the Man In The Hat parts the curtains and walks to the table. He does not take a seat.
Man In The Hat: "Those of you who've been here before know how this works. Let me introduce to you the Unified Bantamweight Champion of the world, Chloe Bennet!"
Chloe walks through the curtains, hugs the Man In The Hat, and takes a seat at the center of the dais as the Man In The Hat turns and walks backstage.
Chloe: "OK. One thing I know from Wiz is that HBO always goes first, so..."
HBO Reporter: "There were a lot of people who were surprised you got this shot. I mean, you were top twenty and all, but there were girls ranked above you. Were you surprised?"
Chloe (smiling): "Actually, I wasn't. Thing is, like I said in the ring, I had unfinished business with Emily, but SHE had unfinished business with ME. Yes, she won the first time, but she was the favorite and it took her seventeen rounds. She wanted to show everyone she was better than me, and that's what this fight was about. And, you have to respect that. I know, I do. Showtime. Go ahead."
Showtime Reporter: "It's almost become a cliche with your fights, and it happened again. You got in a hole and worked your way out..."
Chloe (nodding): "Yeah, but, let me assure you, I don't TRY to get in a hole..."
(Laughter)
Chloe (smiling): "It's a lot easier to win fights when you get the lead. But, she's a good fighter and she had a good plan. I didn't GET behind she PUT me there. But, I found a way back. And I AM good at that. Tess. Go ahead."
Tess: "Wiz always says that Front Street doesn't have a good year unless it wins a title. Well, this may have been the stable's last chance this year. Did that put any extra pressure on you?"
Chloe (shaking her head): "No, not at all. We never talked about that. We don't talk about stuff like that or worry about stuff like that. We concentrate on the fight and how we're going to win the fight. So, no, I didn't stress about that. Smackey, let's go ahead and wrap this up..."
Reporter: "OK, I've got to ask about the shovel hook. That's not a punch you use a lot..."
Chloe (grinning): "Not a lot, no. But, Wiz and Neve thought it could be there, that I could set it up and use it if I needed it. I kind of kept it on my play sheet all night and waited for the right spot. I think I picked the right one. Now, let's go get some dinner. Tess. Smackey. Limo!"
