Are they leaving Mayorga off TV? Mayorga off in favor of Collazo vs. Gonzales is absurd...

I highly doubt that. Mayorga would be the main attraction on that card and I think he's fighting on a different card now

Maybe boxrec just hasn't updated yet?

Mayorga isnt even fighting in August, the fight fell through.

Thanks for the info.

This is what, the third or fourth delay now since he un-retired?

[tri4ben2]

Is that set of heavyweight fights still on PPV?

I wouldn't pay five bucks for that.

Wasn't Mayorga added late to this card? Maybe boxrec just has caught up.

Indeed it was, I believe King postponed it to November. It was announced as an HBO fight a few weeks fight but HBO had taken it off the site and makes note of it. While King is planning on showcasing a ppv in late fall early winter with Spinks/Judah and a few others. I imagine Mayorga will come back on this card.
