A warm up says you are dedicated, whilst wanting the big fight straight away suggests it's more about a payday.
Your first sentence summed it up for me. I'm Surprised that Nelson's employers let him talk like a twat , even if it is only to IFL TV (nothing against Kugan Cassius cos I think he's great). He's got a serious Pundits job to do , for instance , you wouldn't hear Ruud Gullit being interviewed by someone and going all "Street" and "Black this and that, Blud" and "f"ing all over the shop! I'm probably coming over as a miserable old sap, but Nelson needs to decide if he's a respectable SKY pundit, or if he's Sheffield's version of 50 Cent!!
He's sensing a fast buck, but he wants to be careful SKY don't pull the plug on him, no matter how much Adam Smith thinks the sun shines out of his ass!!
