I remember Hector Camacho was all geared up for a million dollar fight with Ray Mancini, as soon as Mancini got by his WBA mandatory.
So of course Bramble stops Mancini and Camacho watches the big fight go bye bye.
It takes three years to get Bramble ready (popular enough) for a Camacho-Bramble fight.
Don King first had to steal Bramble from the Duvas and then he wanted to cash in twice on Bramble.
So King created The Preamble to Bramble double feature. Camacho against old but popular Boza-Edwards (who was a perfect warm up opponent for Hector. Popular guy but no real threat.)
But foolish Don King, he got greedy, he put Bramble in the ring with Edwin Rosairo. Big, big mistake.
Rosairo had already given Camacho hell, coming very close to victory; Bramble was the perfect fighter for Rosairo, a fighter who would stand in front of him.
The Camacho-Bramble fight was already to go. It didn't need more hype.
King had a right, I guess. to try to get two events out of it, but he should have put a stawman in front of Bramble and let him win by quick KO. Instead of giving him Rosairo.
SO why was Rosairo there? 1.Because King still had one more contract fight with Rosairo that he wanted to cash in on. (There's always more money in it for King if he has control of a fighter and isn't using an outsider.) 2. Camacho was saying very ****** things like: "Bramble still needs to prove himself." (I suspect Don King sold Camacho that very ****** line by playing on Hector's ego.)
So Rosairo massacred Bramble and Camacho watched a second million dollar fight slip away.
RESULTS:
Bramble was finished; King wasn't interested in Rosairo (he would never go mega In the States); Camacho broke contract with King (King didn't bother chasing him with a suit) and fought his next fight at JWW for a reported 50K.
I wonder, years from now if we will find out how the Fury-AJ mega fight was thrown away; was it for simular short-sightedness and greed? Probably.
Oh! --- Fury vs. the 'Russian guy doesn't sell half the AJ buys; Fury might as well fight Wilder for the 'chump change.'
Boy I wish I could make that kind of 'change' - but also I feel I need to add that Queenie was right Fury ******!
