Pat 'Papa' O'Grady >
They are concerned that I'm putting Sean in the Ring for a couple of bouts, before coming
back out to California.

Look, it will cost me {$200 a Week} to get somebody to spar with Sean. I'd rather put him
in the Ring, where he can make a few Hundred Dollars, while also getting a good work-out.
