Thanks, everybody for joining us for this call. We're going to have four separate fighters on the phone, and we're going to start with Alfredo Angulo and Erislandy Lara followed by Maidana and Lopez. I'm going to turn it over to Dave Itskowitch, Chief Operating Officer of Golden Boy Promotions right away so he can get started with the particulars, and then we'll open it up for the guys. Thanks. Dave?
