In a big change from the usual post-Asylum press conference, the Man In The Hat does not sit at the center of the dais surrounded by fighters and trainers. Instead, he sits to the left of Kat Dennings. To her right is Neve Campbell. The remainder of the chairs are empty.

Man In The Hat: "OK, Kat. This is your presser. Go head."

Kat: "OK. I'm going to make this short. It's been a long night. When I signed here in 2011, I'd had two FCBA fights and lost both of them. I was dealing with all the crap indie fighters have to deal with, and I was seriously considering forgetting about the whole boxing thing. That all changed when Wiz and Neve brought me here..."

Neve (smiling): "It was Wiz's call. I was against it."

(Laughter)

Kat (smiling): "Since then, I've had 62 fights and won 48 of them. And, I've enjoyed every minute of it. But. There won't be a 65th career fight. I'm hanging the gloves up after tonight and moving into the front office at Front Street. I'll be helping Neve with training..."

Man In The Hat: "AND hosting shows for Front Street TV and Front Street+..."

Kat (smiling): "Yeah, that, too. So, tonight, I just want to thank everybody who helped me these last ten years. No, I didn't have a great career. I didn't win any titles. And, I'm not going into the Hall of Fame. But. I had a pretty GOOD career. I won a lot of fights and I got big fights on pay-per-views and it was all great. But. Right now, I'm remembering one of the many things Neve taught me..."

Neve (smiling): "Don't make me regret not fighting harder to stop us from signing you..."

(Laughter)

Kat (smiling): "NEVE won titles. And SHE made the Hall of Fame. And, one night after one of these Asylum events, when we were on our way to dinner, she told me that, as great as all that was, she enjoyed helping OTHER fighters win titles more. Well, that's what I want to do now. So, tonight, we're going to close the book on my career in the ring, and open a new one where I'm still next to Neve in the gym every day...only, she can't make me do squats until SHE feels the pain..."

Neve (raising her eyebrows): "Who SAYS I can't?"

(Laughter)

Kat: "I couldn't be more excited about Front Street 3.0. We have some HUGE plans for 2022, and I'm really looking forward to being part of them. And, as for all of you, you'll still be seeing me up on the dais every month and around the gym. I'm not going anywhere. No matter HOW many pennies Neve throws into that wishing well..."

(Laughter)

Kat: "All right. That's it. Except for one thing. Neve, remember when I kicked McCarthy's ass in that body paint bout?"

Neve: "I've never been prouder. Now. It's dinner time. Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
