Also, I'm writing these like Grandmaster cares about seeing the fights: does he? Do the hardest of hardcore gamblers enjoy the actual event at all, or just the result?

Poor bastard never stood a chance. At least he tried right? Right?
Only in horseshoes.
Spider-Punk may have had a chance actually, come to think of it. Sound-based attacks would probably work well against hyper-senses and he’s just cagey enough to stay away from punches.
I think Grandmaster at least wants to verify the results- high rollers like to check every replay or study their opponents to get an angle. I am curious who the nanny is though- maybe Ego in wig a la Mrs. Doubtfire. I mean, why would Elders need dedicated childcare?
We're not going to get into it now, but I think many of the Elders have small ecosystems of assistants, lackeys, and such. Even the Champion had a bunch of trainers, hype-men, and such in his first appearance; he probably has some appropriately thuggy bodyguards as well. In the movies, the Collector seemed like he had one little henchgirl/slave, that probably has to do everything around there; he probably handed that kid off to the first employee he saw. Hopefully not the cook...
Ok now THAT would be hilarious if he did do the Mrs. Doubtfire thing
Ah, one of those ‘the help will take care of it’ things- that makes sense. My only other thought was that he’d collected the Nanny from … I’m not sure where but I know her from Walt Simonson’s Avengers run.
