Welterweight boss catches a big one.
What do you do when you sign to fight in the biggest bout of your life, for the largest purse of your life and against the man widely regarded as the top boxer in the world? If you’re Carlos Baldomir, you go fishing with a few friends near your hometown. Baldomir, who’s promoted by Sycuan Ringside Promotions, is set to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. Nov. 4 at the Mandalay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and live on HBO Pay-Per-View. But, before training camp began, Baldomir, an avid fisherman, visited the Parana River in Argentina, mere minutes from his home in Santa Fe. While fishing, the Argentine native reeled in the largest Bogas he has ever caught. “When I felt the hard tug on my line, I knew it was a big one,” said Baldomir. “I laughed and thought of Mayweather. I thought, ‘Just like this fish, I have Mayweather hooked. I just need to reel him in. And the Bogas I caught that day was one of the sweetest fish I’ve ever eaten, just as Mayweather will be the finest victory for me. It was a very good omen.”
Hillarious.
