We took a gamble on Johnson and he dogged it. We risked a lot of money to do it, and he didn't come through. But now Sam Peter is in that situation, too. We've got a lot of other good, young fighters. But Sam Peter is our franchise fighter, a guy who can really turn our company around, and this is the single most important fight we've had since Johnson-Ruiz. -Dino Duva

It's amicable, believe me. My father supports both of us. Our family's been through a lot. We've been through our ups and downs in the boxing business. It just came to the time where we thought it would be best to go our own separate ways. We wish each other the best, and we'll probably do some business together when the circumstance presents itself.

In addition, there's no question that the winner of this fight establishes himself as the hottest and most important heavyweight in the world.

Don't say that. We'll be OK.

No doubt in my mind, Sam has the potential to be the best and most exciting heavyweight in the world. We want to bring in a top-notch trainer who can assist Pops and get him to the next level.
