Mayorga's Vicious Verbal Attack!

Mayorga's vicious verbal attack!

WARNING: CONTAINS VULGAR LANGUAGE

The only nice thing Mayorga had to say was "Hello" to those present and thank them for coming out.

He then immediately grabbed the microphone and looked at De La Hoya and proceeded to point his finger straight at him. "I know you all love Oscar De La Hoya... I love him too, that is why I am going to bring him to you all in a body bag."

With that, the predominantly De La Hoya crowd booed with disapproval.

Ironically, Mayorga felt he needed De La Hoya to respect HIM! He clearly reminded the "Golden Boy" that it was in Chicago that he won his championship and in Chicago he must be respected.

He also accused Oscar of taking a dive when getting KOed by Bernard Hopkins during their fight in September of 2004. "I don't want to hear any excuses from you," Mayorga stated. "I don't want you to later say that your toe hurts or you injured a rib or a shoulder."

Mayorga then started a scuffle by the slapping the back of De La Hoya's head.

After order was resumed, Nicaraguan fighter continued his vicious taunting. "You have no balls, you faggot, I'm going to bring you back to my home and put in my bed and make you my bitch. You claim to represent your people? I just smacked you in the back of the head and you did nothing. Tell your wife to cook you some eggs every morning so you can grow some balls."

De La Hoya needed to be calmed by his trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. just before speaking.

Oscar took the podium and simply stated "All bark, no bite."

The crowed cheered with excitement. "I am not going to talk bad... I am going to knock you out," continued Oscar. "You disrespected my people, my wife, and my family and I am going to knock you out".

Mayorga not willing to give up the spotlight began screaming at De La Hoya across the table. De La Hoya motioning with his hand, " Yeah, yeah, yeah, all you like to do is talk. You talk so much you remind me of Don King." With not much more said, De La Hoya made it clear that he has never been so pumped up for a fight if his life and he plans to knock Mayorga out.

Must... sell... more... PPVs....

From what I understand, I think Mayorga has ALWAYS had bitterness towards Oscar. He's been talking smack about him for years.

I think this fight will sell, even without all the drama.

Personally, I think it's genuine.

"He also accused Oscar of taking a dive when getting KOed by Bernard Hopkins during their fight in September of 2004."

You gotta love that one.

LOL

Uh, no. But Mayorga sure is entertaining, I'll give him that.

Mayorga has been calling out Oscar for the same reason every decent boxer around 160 has... $$$$$$$.

Fighting Oscar is a huge payday.

Ricardo acts over the top because that is his character. He may be a little crazy but Don King has probably told him to turn the volume up because DK knows it will sell EVEN MORE PPVs and make everybody involved richer.

And by everybody involved I mean DK and Oscar.

Most peeps can retire after fighting Oscar because it pays so well.

TTT for Mayorga bringing the heel heat!

Should be an easy decision win for oscar, I think he lacks the power to knock him out tho, at least to knock out the Mayorga who fought Vernon but Mayoga already went thru Tito and we all know what happens to fighters who fight tito and lose badly, maybe his chin is softer now and easier to KO.

I am one of those guys who believes Oscar wouldnt have been able to knock vargas out if vargas hadnt fought Tito before, before Tito vargas had never been in the canvas. Of course it would have been a win for oscar anyways.

I say Oscar wins by UD
