Ricardo 'El Matador' Mayorga signs with Shine Fights for MMA debut

Looking for a paycheck?? I think he would get paid more in a boxing show

thats true robbyc.

Not true at all. He is washed up in boxing.

his last fight was with mosely he went to the 12th round, how much do you think he got paid for that and how much do you think shine is paying him?

his fight before that was with vargas before that de la hoya, 1 before that trinidad. sounds like he just fought all the biggest names in his last 5 fights.

Roy-

See cut and paste below.

If only he wasn’t 35. It’s nice high level hands do work but doesn’t really mean anything. This is like Ray Sefo comin into MMA.

Thank you, NNR.

what weight will he fight at? Match him up against a Muy taia guy with NO ground game!

Intro-

Its obvious, not rubbish.

Rubbish is the POV you are trying to sell that a washed up brawler at the age of 35 who smokes and drinks will accomplish anything more than earning a paycheck.

That’s reality, homeslice.

Mayorga vs Angulo

Mayorga was scheduled to fight undefeated junior-middleweight prospect Alfredo Angulo on February 14th, 2009 on the undercard of Nate Campbell’s title defense against Ali Funeka. Mayorga withdrew from the fight, citing injuries to his ribs from the Shane Mosley fight made training very difficult and therefore was unable to make weight. He stated money was not the issue. However, his promoter, Don King, stated that Mayorga pulled out ten days before the bout after his demands for a higher purse were not met.

It’s about the $$$, baby!

What money?

Are you saying that Shine fight Promotions is going to pay him more than a boxing match would? lmao…you’re on glue today, OJR. I bet a pro boxing match would pay him 100 times (not an exageration) more than this MMA fight will.

I’d listen to your argument if it was even conceivable that this fight would come close to his boxing $$$$, but it won’t even come close.

I posted my source, Intro.

Come with yours or STFU.

Pro Boxing Champion Ricardo Mayorga Sues Don King Productions and Monarch Sports Management

(PRLEAP.COM) Miami, Florida, September 8, 2009 —Professional boxer Ricardo Mayorga is suing Don King Productions, owned by boxing promoter Don King, and Monarch Sports Management, owned by Don King’s son, Carl, for violating the Muhammed Ali Boxing Reform Act, according to a lawsuit (Case # 09-22603) filed in U.S. District Court in Miami on September, 1, 2009.

Mayorga is a former World Boxing Association and World Boxing Council welterweight champion, and a former WBC junior middleweight champion. A Nicaraguan citizen, Mayorga won the Nicaraguan National Championship and was the Central American Golden Gloves champion as an amateur before turning pro in the 1990s.

Mayorga’s victories against Diosbelys Hurtado (1999) and Marco Avendano (2000) earned him a spot in the world rankings. Soon thereafter, he hired promoter Don King, who then arranged for his son, Carl King to become Mayorga’s manager.

According to Mayorga’s Miami attorneys, Carlos Gonzalez and Chad Purdie of the Diaz Reus & Targ law firm, the suit seeks compensation for the Kings’ oppressive business practices, which include an unenforceable promotional agreement. “Their actions have clearly violated the Ali Act, which is provides a system of safety precautions to protect the welfare of professional boxers,” Gonzalez said. “Specifically, the act requires a firewall between promoters and managers, thereby prohibiting promoters from having a direct or indirect financial interest in the management of a boxer and vice versa.”

The complaint states that the Kings’ tactics have cost Mayorga significant monetary losses from several missed professional boxing opportunities. “Although Mr. Mayorga escaped a life of poverty in Nicaragua,” said Gonzalez, “he has been left destitute in America by the gross breach of trust committed by the very people that were supposed to look after his interests.”

first of all – OJR, you didn’t post a source as near as i can tell; you posted the contents of an article which you could have easily fabricated; not saying you did, but there is no source attached.

secondly – it’s not impossible but highly unlikely that an upstart mma promo would pay more than an established pro-boxing promo

thirdly – OJR, do you not think that perhaps there may be a few pro-mma fighters who occasionally smoke and drink?

fourthly – why am i agreeing with introvert? first for everything i guess.

Ojr= FAIL

Now take your lessons and move on.

JB-

When you have something of worth, feel free to post it.

Thanks.

What is your source proving other than Mayorga and don King can’t come to terms financially? What does your source say about Mayorga making more money in MMA?

Your source = nothing.

DAVID-

Read the post above and have a nice, big sh!t sandwich.

Damned trolls around here…

You should wipe the shit off your face looks like you just enjoyed one.You took a beating on this one just admitt it and move on.

Intro-

I am very surprised by your lack of reading comprehension and inability to admit when someone makes a valid point.

You are better than that.

Big news that a talented boxer is moving into MMA, to be honest I hadn’t heard of Mayorga but he has fought some big names and it’ll be interesting to see how he does. Any grapplers will give him a hard time, as his take down and submission defence won’t be there but if anyone tries to stand with a talented boxer then it’ll be the same result as Sylvia-Mercer.

OJR

since when does attacking posters validate your point? i guess it’s easier to attack others than formulate a intelligent response. fair enough. in that case,

“you’re a bigger dummyhead than me OJR.”

(there, at least now we are on the same level…)

I wasn’t attacking you. Your previous post added no insight, much like this one.

Sorry if the truth hurts.

OJR – you aren’t making a point anywhere, I can cut n paste from every news site i can find too if that’s what you want..

STFU, and come up with your own conclusion instead of being a drama queen over some article that doesn’t mean sh anybody over the age of 12 knows that Mayorga would make much more money for a boxing match..

Your reading comprehension sucks, much like your troll friends.

I never claimed that.

Don’t bother posting if you can’t understand the original point, Roberto.

poor kid you really took a beating here and just can’t get over it.

An article I posted is in mod.

He is suing Don King for $$$.

Therefore, he is not getting paid.

In conclusion, he is getting a paycheck from Shine.

That was my original point.

Why else would a 35 yr old transition to MMA from boxing?

everyone sues don king, i am sure he ripped him off but he still makes more boxing. he got over 2 million for the delahoya fight i dout shine can pay him more than 10,000. he would make more letting up and comers make a name off him in boxing than fight for shine, he is probally undercontract with don and can’t take a fight till after the lawsuit.

I think both you and Intro obviously misread/misunderstood my original post.

I never claimed MMA $$$ > boxing $$$.

Read through my posts and paste for me where I typed that he would make more $$$ in MMA.

no it was the easy picking for any mma fighter that got me, i can see your point on getting paid yes he will like anyother fighter no one is fighting for free that i know of and he has some name recogintion. and no he won’t be easy pickings for shine fighters espcially any of there stand up fighters.

Hey, that means that even my mom has a bigger d!ck than you.

:)

lmao….mom jokes are always good.

you mom has a big d!ck? Sorry to hear that bro i hate to hear about the things she must have done to you with that growing up.

David = TROLL.

FAILURE.

^^^^^^
Thats post tells me you give up and admitt defeat.NOw get your moms d!ck out of your ass and move on.
