Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Reporter: "So, Wiz, what about that FNL card? There are going to be some good fights on there..."
Man In The Hat (nodding): "The FNL cards are always fun. And, I mean. Hudgens and Watson? Two of the top flys in the world. That's a pretty good main event."
Tess: "You've had a couple of the girls on Asylum cards..."
Man In The Hat (nodding): "Windsor and Shipka. And, Shipka's an example of what I always say about newbies. She made an IMPRESSION in her debut, and now she gets another chance to impress. Do that, and, who knows..."
Tess: "But, there's Naomi Scott. Won one of two in a New Blood tournament back in 2017 and hasn't fought since..."
Man In The Hat: "But. She gets another chance on this card. Impress, and, who knows? There are no guarantees around here. Until a fighter gets ESTABLISHED, well. You might get work and you might NOT. That's just how it is. And, the fact that new talent keeps appearing really doesn't enter into that equation..."
Tess: "Maybe not, but, my point is, with so MANY fighters already working in the FCBA, or, should I say, NOT working, just sitting around NOT getting fights, why keep adding so many newbies?"
Man In The Hat (smiling): "This is gonna be one of those discussions. Like the designated hitter. People who love it will give you all their reasons and people that hate it will give you theirs, and nobody's gonna change anybody's mind."
Tess (smiling): "That's about the size of it."
Man In The Hat: "You know what ELSE you wanna talk about the size of? The crab legs Chef is doing tonight..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"
