It's going to be one nightmarish helical job for Don King to patch up what Mayorga managed to pull off becoming a fatty at the time of a prizefight. Especially when it isn't so readily natural to do so for chain-smokers like Mayorga is. Rivera may had sat ringside watching the pudgy 10 round fighter in the night Mayorga sparred; but his savvy says more enough in the sustenance guarantee for me to know that champions greet the greenbacks signed for delivery.
Real Welterweights Come Trim
Jose Rivera is the real throwback here. You can't do anything but respect a guy like that coming in at his natural weight ready to put his title on the line and not balk.
Offering a substantially lesser purse of $100,000, than he would have made if Ricardo Mayorga had only fought him for taking a fight with the proverbial Zabdiel "Super-Zab" Judah (A DK stalemate) had both a familiar and arousing distasteful undermining affect. The seasoning had been missing. Judah lost by coming on late; so if you're thinking Rivera stands to make anything in terms of unifying anything, forget it. "The Next Generation" Spinks holds the belts not Judah.
Rivera always comes in at a neat and trim near perfect 146 weight. Only two other fighters in the higher top echelon do so today. They're Cory Spinks and Kermit Cintron.
The Business Sense
You can all see where Rivera gets his own cojones. He literally told them all to shove it. Rivera could make up to $150,000 dollars alone with one defense in Europe, which tells me that a ballpark figure like this lies anywhere between $50,000-$84,000 dollars more than the proposal of the hundred grand. I don't mind calling my connections to find the Vivian Harris' of the world fighting overseas, providing they're fighting top notched contenders. Real Champions have done so before all of this mess.
Rivera took hold and gotten in charge of DK's phraseology college of languages in splendid depth; to foresee its tossing bait that the wiz of parasitology Donald had in store. Rivera rolls for no one.
Former WBA World acclaimed junior lightweight titllist Samuel "El Torbellino" Serrano took his real title on the road making a minimum of $100,000 dollars. You simply do not revered back to the cycle of the 1976 circa again by throwing around those absurd figures like that around today.
