Mayorga-Vargas to go head-to-head with Mayweather-DLH??

Vargas has a lot of weight to lose.

Mayorga vs Vargas May 5? Former world champion Ricardo Mayorga is in the United States after being detained last week in his native Nicaragua. Promoter Don King reportedly helped bail Mayorga out of two legal scrapes, and now there is talk that the Nicaraguan strongman is in the U.S. to sign a contract for a possible mouth-watering May 5 showdown against Fernando Vargas on SHOWTIME, which would go head-to-head with the De La Hoya-Mayweather pay-per-view event the same day. Stay tuned... PLEASE JESUS CHRIST LET THIS BE THE TRUTH!!!

Vargas had to starve himself to get down to junior middleweight, and looked terrible against Vargas because of this. Against Mayorga, I assume Vargas would be fighting at 154 again, which is very bad news. If Vargas has any future in the sport it is the 168 lb division. Thats right, not 160, 168, 154 is that far from his proper division. I am feeling more and more strongly against the day before weigh ins. The way fighters are cutting weight is absolutely ridiculous. Fighters should not be sucking on ice cubes and not eating for the three days prior to a weigh in. Physically, Vargas has looked way way off since he was caught taking steriods, and I assume it's because he hasn't taken them since. In every one of his fights his speed and power hasn't been the same, and just visually you can tell his body is way different because he has a lot less muscle definition. The contract said it would be a catch weight of 160 give or take 1 pound. I think Vargas is in the same boat mayorga is. He fought one to many A list HOFs.

they are both washed up. BUT, they both still fight till the end. They both showed it their last time out. I think the fight would be a WAR and i would LOVE to watch the fight. It wont sell well because of the fight its competing with, but it will definetly take away from DLH-Mayweather sales. I dont understand why SHOWTIME is even trying to compete. They should threaten to compete, and then change the date with the agreement that HBO has to advertise the MAYORGA-VARGAS fight. thats actually not a bad idea eh? Thats a good idea. I dont know why people are hatin on this match. Its going to be a great fight and when i say fight i mean "fight". I tought the plan was for them to fight on June 10th. But HBO does know that the frist Saturday of every month is "Showtimes Fight Night". NO MATTER WHAT is goin on, Showtime will put some boxing on. This has to be their best attack on the PPV fight DLH- Mayweather. It will take some money out of HBOs pockets.

Yeah, this would be a perfect co-feature for the DLH-PBF PPV, but as a Showtime main? Yikes, but I'll definitely TiVo it and watch it after DLH-PBF. The problem with this is that HBO will announce the results of Vargas-Mayorga. In fact they might even put a graphic up to try and ruin it for people who have the sound turned down.

Two washed up fighters going head to head on the same night with two pound for pound greats? Not going to work. I doubt it will break 50,000 ppv buys, if it will make ppv at all, doesn't deserve to. they are both washed up. BUT, they both still fight till the end. They both showed it their last time out.

well THIS cant be good for MAYWEATHER-DLH sales... HBO better do something about that.

Foolish. Its simple though, just make it a week earlier before or after, or else lose tons of money.

At this point in Vargas's career one power punch from "Strongman" Mayorga ( lol btw...) would flatten him. Both are shot but Vargas is far worse than Mayorga.

Great example of what is wrong with our sport, both men are shot but tailor made for war- a fight that will be cant miss in terms of action. The NFL doesnt televise both its championshhip games at the same time, this is essentially what would be done here. Absolutely ridiculous.

Theres no reason to go head to head. Showtime must be crazy. If anything, Vargas vs Mayorga should be the undercard of Oscar / Floyd

It would of been bad ass if it would of been a part of the undercard for Mayweather jr. v.s De la hoya.

What a waste of what would be a fun, though insignificant, matchup. Well put, ive been lookin forward to that but EVERY1 will watch Oscar vs Floyd rather than a shot Vargas vs a slightly above average fighter probably well on the slide in Mayorga!

No way this competes with De La Hoya vs Mayweather

Since when was Mayorga a "Strongman". Jesus if he's a "Strongman" what does that make Oscar? Is that some type of personality label or what? Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!
