coming to me and coming to me

because of my relationship with Billy.

- 'Cause we family, Mo.

- I know.

- Daddy!

- Oh!

Oh, man, we was talking about you

like a dog, champ.

You should've heard the things

Maureen was saying about you.

I said, "The champ? Never!"

- Daddy, come jump with me!

- Okay.

- You okay?

- Yeah. How you doing?

- Took me too long to get here.

- You okay?

- Don't look at me like that.

- You been icing? You been icing?

- Look, Billy, I told Maureen...

- Yeah?

I got HBO to commit to $30 million.

Ten million per fight.

I just told you, we're passing on Turay.

- Yeah, man.

- Daddy, come on!

Make sure she doesn't break her neck.

- He's laughing.

- Oh, boy.

- Come on.

- I'm coming.

"I just want to thank everybody

from the Children's Club

"'cause this place saved my life.

"I grew up in the system.

"My mother had me

when she was incar... incarcerated."

That... How do you spell "incarcerated"?

- You should say "in jail."

- I-N-C-A-R-C-E-R...

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter, babe.

Doesn't matter. "I got...

I got dumped into foster care the..."

I don't want to do this.

I can't do this.

- Hey. Come on.

- I don't want to do this.

- I don't want to talk about this.

- What do you mean?

I don't need to stand up there

in front of a whole

group of people and tell them

my f***ing life story.

Stop. You're acting crazy. It's okay.

No, they're gonna look

at me like I'm an idiot.

No, they love you. Those kids love you.

And it's for them. It's a charity, baby.

Don't be nervous. You're fine. Okay?

Okay?

Put your pants on.

Let's go, so we can get home, okay?

- Mmm-hmm.

- Mmm-hmm.

Hey, Leila.

I'm gonna tell you something.

And it is very important.

Okay? I want you to listen.

- I love you.

- I love you.

- So predictable.

- Man.

The Children's Club

of New York would like to welcome

the Light Heavyweight

Champion of the World...

Billy Hope.

Um...

I'd rather...

I'd rather take a couple punches

than be up, be up here, but, um...

Well, I wouldn't be up here tonight,

uh, if it wasn't for the...

for... for the Children's Club.

They gave me a bed.

They gave me my first pair of gloves.

Some gloves...

you know, smelly, ratty and...

all tattered.

They were mine.

You know?

You got your soul in those gloves.

Hey, hey, hey,

- They gave me a home.

- Hector, chill out.

I met my boys.

That whole table, I would stay

away from 'em, if I were you.

Billy!

Behave yourself... there are

a lot of rich people here.

Um...

When I was...

When I was... When I was 12 years old,

there was this little girl.

She was skinny.

She had ratty hair.

She had been through it.

She stuck with me

when I was, uh, um...

was incarcerated...

a couple times.

And I knew she was there.

I wouldn't be here

without my wife Maureen.

Now, you, with your fancy cars

and... or your fancy dresses

and your fancy suits

and your beautiful hair,

take some of that money and...

and give it, give it...

give us that sh*t.

All right.

Swagger? No, I got pizzazz.

That's a level above swagger.

That's that new sh*t.

Come on, everybody tired of

that old sh*t, man.

Miguel, Miguel.

B*tch boy. Here he comes.

Speaking of old sh*t.

Watch this.

Hey, Billy, why you leaving so soon?

- Come on, baby, let's go.

- What?

Hey, man, I hope you're not

taking everything personal.

Man, I'm just trying to sell a fight.

Let's go. Don't give him any press.

What, I got to f*** your

b*tch to talk to you?

Billy, let that go. Come on,

keep walking. Come on, let's go.

How about this? I'll take your b*tch,

then I'll take your belt.

Come on, let it go.

- Baby...

- How about I take your belt,

- Let's go home.

- then I take your b*tch?

- Let it go. Baby.

- There he is. There he is.

Let's go home. Walk away.

Stop it. Stop. Billy.

- Billy...

- I'll take your belt, b*tch.

Billy!

- Stop it! Stop!

- Get out of the way, Mo!

Billy! Billy!

B*tch-ass n*gger!

Billy, stop! Stop it!

F***in' little b*tch!

Get the f*** off me!

- I'm good. I'm good. I'm good.

- B*tch-ass motherf***er!

It wasn't me, man! He shot my...

Huh? Huh?

Billy?

- Hey, hey. Hey, what's up?

What's up, baby? What's wrong?

- What's wrong? What's wrong?

- What happened?

- Something happened.

Hey, I don't know what to do.

- Am I okay?

- Yeah, yeah, you're okay.

- Am I okay?

- You're okay. You're okay.

F***. F***, baby. Okay. Okay.

What do I do? I don't know,

do I lie her down?

Do I lie her down?

I don't know what to do.

- Go get some help!

- Okay.

Hey, call 911, man! Come on!

Okay, baby, it's okay, it's okay.

Hey, no, no, no, no. Hey, Jon Jon!

No, baby, I don't want to lay down.

- No, no, no, stay up...

Hector did that sh*t!

It wasn't me! Get off me!

Hector, what the f*** are you doing?

What are you f***ing thinking, man?

Get a doctor here!

- Get a f***ing ambulance!

- Get a f***ing ambulance!

Yeah, yeah? What's up? What's up, baby?

Baby, I want to, I want to go...

- We're gonna go home.

Baby, I want to go home.

I want to go home.

Okay, okay, okay. Just stay with me.

Hey, look at me, look at me,

Hey, look at me in the f***ing eyes!

Look at me in the eyes, baby!

Baby, look at me in the eye!

Look me in the eye!

Look me in the eye,

Baby. Baby, stay, stay, stay.

Baby, no. No, no, no...

Wait, baby, wait.

Sh*t...

Is there a doctor here?

Doctor?

We need a doctor! We need a doctor!

We're sorry to hear about your loss.

We're gonna try to make this

as, uh, simple and easy as possible.

We need an eyewitness

to identify the shooter.

No one's talking,

or they don't want to be involved.

Do you remember anything?

What... what time is it?

It's 6:
00 a.m.

We know it's been a long night for you,

but we got to ask these questions.

The housekeeper's there with my,

with my daughter, so I... Can I just...

uh, I can't find my phone.

We just need another moment
