"The Russians run an underground fighting league in Coney Island where they
pay junkies to fight. I fought about fifty fights for them. They pay you $
200 win or lose. They'd always make sure I was real doped up before the
fight. I mean they weren't good people but it did make me feel kinda
important to have all those gangsters cheering for me. And they'd always be
really happy if I won, because that meant I'd made them money."
