Our objectives are everything – the Champions League, La Liga Santander and the cup.
Life in LA is not lying in the sun for months. It is having a 4pm meeting and leaving at noon to sit in traffic for four hours. It’s not glam.
Whitaker is much better. De La Hoya hits hard, and he’s fast, and he comes in with a lot of force. But he has to learn how to fight, and Whitaker is very difficult.

I love going to see musicals. That was one of the major reasons why losing the chance to produce ‘La La Land’ was so painful.
