Ha you got me with the second part! My point is though that Oscar is not the squeaky clean perfect human being he is made out to be. He is a ruthless businessman and negotiator.

Mayorga is a brawler and relies on pre-fight intimidation to psyche himself up and also to sell the fight.

Outside the ring he is completely different, as Oscar evidenced when he said Mayorga apologised to him afterwards for all the things he had said.
agreed, bilbo. mayorga is not quite the badman that he builds himself as being when building up a fight....after the fight you always see mayorga as he probably is much of the time. he seems to be especially fond of his mother. he likes the booze and cigs, but most of us do anyway...
Yeah and I imagine that away from the cameras De La Hoya probably goes home to his supermodel wife, opens up his briefcase full of thousands and thousands of $100 dollar bills and they both cover themselves in all the money and fuck each other all the time cackling and laughing like some evil Bond villains after yet another glorious success in milking his golden boy image for all its worth...........
