We'll bring a championship fight here though so. I mean that this is like bringing a Paper view do you see the good side is it's on free TV this is the reason is that showing off ms. Marshall also fighting in general I'm talking you. As the US you come here and I guess impacted -- it -- -- so we're doing it right now. Every time it doesn't matter where we go in the world whether it's a state here in the United States or some other country. Basically what happens is after we come and we do that live event it really does start to spread the buzz in the word and people have heard you upstate but when we come into a new market like DC. It's the actual live event that really starts to spread the word to create the awareness that we bought titles by what you choose this one for the next one on -- it's been four years into the title -- -- free TV what -- -- the lead which -- -- -- and -- went on -- cruise and Richard Johnson -- actually gonna have to.
