Is Mayorga going to even make weight?

I mean this is how he started



what does he look there like 200 pounds???

back in the day:



So not only is he older and past his best days he's out of shape or at the very least started training camp grossly overweight.

It would be very emberssing if Mayorga wins!

from a guy who was at the weigh ins:
The the main event, Din Thomas hops on the the scale, no problem with weight. Mayorga is anounced and once again we have to wait on a fighter, he strolls in like he had Don King leading the way, kind of like the Gracie train. He comes up to the scale area and made a big deal of where Din Thomas was standing, it was like he wanted him out of the way not sure of the reason behind it. The towels are out, Mayorga looks plump, and when I seen the towels I made a comment he isn't gonna make weight. they put the towels up and he steps on the scale and flexes one bicep. They anounce he made weight and Mayorga hops off the scale pumping his fist and runs for the Gatorade, kind of funny I thought. The then shit talking begins, Din gets right up in his face they converse alittle back and forth then Mayorga shoves Thomas back. Din is pissed but he doesn't make an issue of it.

After hearing eight hours of testimony over two days in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Broward County Circuit Court Judge Marc H. Gold today granted Don King Productions’ request for an injunction preventing Ricardo Mayorga from appearing tonight on an MMA card tonight in Fayetteville, NC. Mayorga is in Fayetteville and the MMA promoter has issued a press release stating the bout will go on as scheduled despite “Don King and a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo.” However, Gold warned from the bench, “If my orders are disobeyed, there will be serious sanctions from this court.” The judge is requiring DKP to post a $1,000,000 bond today for the order to stick.

They were going to get reamed if they went through with that. When you have a judge and a company like DKP on your back, they will put you out of business.

Mayorga can't go around fighting when he is under contract.
Completely broke his non-compete clause.

After winning an emergency injunction this afternoon over a rival promoter and one of his fighters that was attempting to participate tonight in an MMA match in Fayetteville, N.C., Don King had one last hurdle to clear: Florida state law required him to post a bond that Broward County Circuit Court Judge Marc H. Gold determined at $1 million. And he had to do it within two hours. With most businesses that would help him conduct a transaction of this magnitude not operating on a Saturday, King departed the Ft. Lauderdale courthouse and returned prior to the deadline to present the judge with two duffel bags containing $1 million in cash to fulfill his obligation to the court.

“I felt like I was Clint Eastwood in a movie, speeding down the highway with a fistful of dollars,” the 78-year-old King said after successfully posting the bond.

King’s attorneys, Robert Zarco and Alex Brito of the Miami-based law firm Zarco, Einhorn, Salkowski & Brito, argued the case successfully.

“Pursuant to the Judge’s Order issued this afternoon, the MMA promoter in question and Ricardo Mayorga are specifically ordered by the court from proceeding with tonight’s previously announced main event appearance by Mayorga in Fayetteville, North Carolina,” Zarco said.

The MMA promoters would be wise to heed the words spoken by Judge Gold from his bench when told that the event in Fayetteville may go on regardless of his decision. “If my orders are disobeyed, there will be serious sanctions from this court,” Gold said.
