That's a good one.

I would ask what was in the bottle

Did Willie Pep win a round without throwing a punch.

Why was Ruby Goldstein sleeping on the job

The answer to that is no.

It was supposed to be at 144 Lbs but then the contract was changed where they could weigh in above 144 but would be fined however much of their purse, or something like that. Or that may have been the original contract.

Nothing was secretive as far as I can see.

Then why wouldn't Schaefer or De La Hoya just say that? Anytime they were asked during the build up, they wouldn't give a number for the weight. That's just weird.

The answer to that is no.

Are you sure??

They never confirmed the contract weight before the weigh in. It was just unusual and something I've always wondered about. I know we now know the details and specifics, but why not do it the way they do for every other fight, before the bout's weigh in.

And in press conferences when asked what the weight, Schaefer and De La Hoya would never confirm it. I know it was announced, I'm talking about the refusal on their part to confirm it, like any normal promoter would when asked about the contracted weight.

Then my 2nd question would be, was the fan man an elaborate ruse created by Holyfield to distract Bowe and throw him off his game??
