Doug DeLuca: You asked a couple of questions, so, first, an update on Kimbo. He’s training hard. Kimbo is flying back and forth between Miami and California; he's training with his team. The thing I will say about Kimbo is that I really don’t understand likes to give him a hard time. Why can’t somebody find the sport of MMA sort of like Gus did a few months ago.
In Kimbo's case, it was a year or so ago, but he found the sport, he's committed and he's a natural, a great fighter, who, unlike other guys you see come up off the streets that don't have the discipline and the focus, this guy is one of the most disciplined and focused guys I've ever seen.
So, to his credit, after that fight with James Thompson, Kimbo said (at the press conference), ‘I'm a baby in this sport and I know that.’ He said ‘I'm standing up here on this dais with world-class athletes that have been at this much longer than I have been.’ And he said, ‘I know I need to up my game in various places and at various levels and I will do that.’ Kimbo’s been committed and he's doing that and he's training real hard. You are going to see Kimbo fight again probably in late September, early to mid-October.
I definitely cannot confirm that he will be fighting Brett Rogers because we're not sure that that's the next fight for Kimbo, but we will keep you guys posted and you guys will be the first to know when we've figured out who Kimbo's going to fight.
Operator: We’ll go next to John Navarro with Knockout TV.
John Navarro: Doug, CBS seems to be a company of firsts -- the first company to start off on broadcast TV and now you guys are going to be on broadcast TV and (premium) TV. How do you see that developing your marketplace within this industry? Is that going to take you to a new level?
Doug DeLuca: CBS has been a great partner from day one. CBS owns SHOWTIME and SHOWTIME has been (with us since) when we first got into the game a little over two years ago. We made a strategic partnership with SHOWTIME and CBS, and they've been just perfect partners and this sport, as in any mainstream sport, is built around broadcast TV. That's how people get to see it, that's how people get to enjoy it, that's how it grows it fan base and that's how the sport just gets bigger and bigger. So from the standpoint of a partner and from a standpoint of what SHOWTIME and CBS are doing for the sport and doing for EliteXC, it is, I can't even – I can't speak enough about how great they have been for us. It's been great and it'll continue to grow. When you think about a May 31st show where at one point 6.5 or 6.7 million viewers were watching EliteXC and watching mixed martial arts, I mean, that's pretty impressive. That's a lot of eyeballs.
