Excerpts from a CBS Sportsline article:
De La Hoya and Schaefer, the former Swiss banker to whom De La Hoya entrusts so much of his business operation, had long since signed off on a $4 million contract with Mayorga's promoter, Don King, who was to pay the fighter's purse. But there Mayorga was, dissatisfied with the $2 million he was to receive, literally begging the man he had vowed to knock out in six rounds or less to provide him with more suitable compensation. Mayorga figured his cut should be $8 million.
De La Hoya was sympathetic, or at least as sympathetic as someone could be to someone who had made lascivious comments about his wife.
"I was angry -– at King," De La Hoya said. "For a fighter not to know what he's making ... what does that tell you?
"(Mayorga) was about to cry. I felt bad, but I told him it's not my problem. Deal with your promoter."
Scum Bag King Was Running His Ignorant Lowlife Mouth During Patterson's Memorial Speach At The Begining Of The Callazo/hatton Fight. Peace Of Gutter Shit If There Ever Was One.....
Sounds like a huge setup from De La Hoya to make Don King look bad and take some of his business. I have a real hard time believing this one word for word.
What's so hard to believe?? It's no secret that King is the biggest scumbag in the game. It actually doesn't surprise me.
