I am thinking about going to one of the Mayweather/Cotto ones next week. I was wondering what should I expect? Is there likely to be a huge crowd? How early should I get there (starts at 1pm)...how long does it last? Any other information you think I might find useful will be greatly appreciated
I've been to a few. I was at the Kostya (?) Tszu- Judah, when it was downtown LA. It was pretty tame, actually. The most interesting one was the Corrales-Mayweather, also downtown LA. Roger was yappin' away with all his ghetto-ass comments talking about all the "Mexicans I whooped on", and I yelled out, "that's not what Chavez said. Man, all of Floyd's goons started talkin' **** and Ellerbee was sitting right in front of me and said, "I bet YOU won't get in the ring wit'em". I just laughed in his face and said, "I would if I was Julio" and the Chicanos applauded. I was writing a boxing mag at the time and I had Floyd on the cover and after the presser, I asked him to sign it for me and big-mouthed Roger mumbled,"man, don't sign his damn book". Floyd said "hey man, don't worry about my uncle, come back in a minute, I'll sign it".
