I am ashamed… I really hope this falls through.

You might be in luck. I told Scott over at Bad Left Hook, and he doesn’t seem to think it has much chance of actually happening.

I'd like to see it but it seems very unlikely

but I’m a mark’s mark.

Big Surprise?

Like Hong Man Choi big? Mayorga is crazy but IDK if he’s crazy enough to get in the ring w/ that guy…..or anyone that “big”

A live bear?

for all intents and purposes, just consider all my posts as works of satire.

Maybe he’s looking for stuff to keep him busy while he’s in court with Don King. Or maybe its just a threat to move negotiations along more favorably.

This is pretty awesome news if true. Mayorga is pretty much done with boxing and the guy is an exciting fighter no matter what, and I’ve been watching him fight since he came up. I’m all for it.
