"With all due respect, tonight is your night and you know that I will stand across that ring from you in due time.
"You are not going to tell me what to do; I have been chasing you for ten years. When you are ready you come and see me and tell me your terms and conditions and I will have you in the ring when I am ready, I am the boss!
