There will always be those who tune in to a Mayorga fight just to see him get his a** beat another night.
He's like a movie villain in a superhero movie.
You know he's gonna lose in the end, but you wanna see it happen anyways. You wanna see your hero succeed over this guy.
Put him in with a complete nobody and people won't care though. That'd be like "Skeletor vs. Random Beast 718: THE MOVIE". Nobody cares. Or "He-Man vs. Skeletor's henchman: THE MOVIE". Nobody cares. But people will always tune in to see He-Man give a royal a** beating to Skeletor.
Mayorga's a good villain. I don't wanna see him fight in main events in this age where top fighters only fight a couple times a year. A Mayorga fight just hinders possible better matchups. But I like to see him take a beating.
Meowza, this seems very sadistic from someone who's name sounds like the noise kittens make..minus the za of course

I really started to like Mayorga after the Tito fight. Of course, I usually find myself rooting for the "villain" nowadays. He's one of the most entertaining figures in the sport definitely deserves more $$ than the meager sums Don King has been giving him all these years. He's so ego-machismo-crazy to the extreme AND hilarious. Love the guy!
