FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Boxing’s Bad Boys Agree to Meet at STAPLES Center on Sept. 8 Street Fight Draws Blood at Initial Press Conference Announcing Match Between ‘Ferocious’ Fernando Vargas and Ricardo ‘El Matador’ Mayorga in Los Angeles; Taunting Turns into Melee As Boxers Can’t Wait to Get a Piece of One Another

LOS ANGELES—Two-time world champion “El Feroz” Fernando Vargas and three-time world champion Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga barely made it through their promoters’ announcement of their upcoming match at STAPLES Center on Sept. 8, during the first press conference for the event held at the downtown Los Angeles venue (on July 11), before taunting erupted into a street fight that resulted in punches being thrown and landed—and some blood from a cut under Mayorga’s right eye.

“Mayorga can disrespect me all he wants but not my queens [his mother, wife and daughter],” Vargas said. “This will be my last fight for one reason only, for pride. We should have sold tickets to the press conference after the fireworks we had. There will definitely be fireworks in the ring at Staples Center on September 8.”

The notorious trash-talker Mayorga has shown no signs of turning a new leaf.

“I’m going to give Vargas the chance to cash his last paycheck. I would like to say publicly that ‘Fatty’ [Vargas] has always feared me. I conceded to take this fight at 162 pounds because fatty couldn’t lose any more weight. I will do Vargas a favor by retiring him in this fight so his family doesn’t have to suffer every time he steps in the ring. I’m going to do his wife a favor and not let her cry anymore.”

Tickets priced at $300, $150, $100 and $50 are on sale now online at ticketmaster.com, via Ticketmaster charge-by-phone lines at (213) 480-3232 or (714) 740-2000 and at all Ticketmaster ticket centers including Wherehouse Music, Robinsons-May, Tower Records and Ritmo Latino locations. Tickets are also available at the STAPLES Center box office and the box office at TEAM LA at Universal CityWalk.

Leaders from two of the most successful boxing promotional firms in history—Don King from Don King Productions and Kathy Duva from Main Events—have joined to promote the event in association with AEG & STAPLES Center & VEP. The event will also be televised live beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT domestically at a suggested retail price of $44.95, which is being distributed by SHOWTIME® PPV.

Vargas (26-4, 22 KOs) won his world titles at junior middleweight and is best known for his indomitable will and courageous heart as evidenced by the fact he knocked out his first 17 opponents—including former world champion Raul Marquez. He also won decisions over former (and future) junior middleweight champion Winky Wright and former welterweight world titlist Ike “Bazooka” Quartey.

The native of Oxnard, Calif., now 29, became the youngest junior middleweight world champion in boxing history at just 21 years and 5 days when he dethroned “Yory Boy” Campas to win the International Boxing Federation title on Dec. 12, 1998.

He is best remembered for two epic clashes: a slugfest featuring six knockdowns with then-undefeated Felix “Tito” Trinidad on Dec. 2, 2000, which won Fight of the Year from the Boxing Writers Association of America and a spirited contest against “The Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya on Sept. 14, 2002.

Mayorga (27-6-1, 22 KOs) has captured the hearts and imaginations of boxing fans around the globe due to his full-tilt boxing style and penchant for mixing beer and cigarettes with his training regimen—not to mention the withering verbal assaults opponents endure during the weeks leading up to his matches.

Mayorga, 33, hails from Managua, Nicaragua. He burst upon the boxing world in 2002 in his first world title shot against then-World Boxing Association welterweight champion Andrew “Six Heads” Lewis. A virtual unknown at the time, Mayorga taunted his opponent by allowing him to punch him in the face repeatedly with his hands at his waist before sending the champion to the canvas with a thunderous assault in round five that left Lewis unfit to continue in the match.

Few could have predicted at the time that Mayorga would shock the world again when he took on BWAA 2002 Fighter of the Year Vernon “The Viper” Forrest, who held the World Boxing Council welterweight title when they met. Forrest appeared to be as perplexed as Lewis when the Nicaraguan bomber smothered him with a barrage of combinations that sent him to the canvas in the first round. Forrest lasted until just the third round before the referee waved off the beating.

Mayorga proved he was no fluke by agreeing to an immediate rematch with Forrest where he notched a majority-decision win. Mayorga shares the common opponents of Trinidad and De La Hoya with Vargas.

Eracism The Book , Signing and Tour Launch

PRESS RELEASE; Contact Raphael (212) 281-8457

ERACISM BOOK TOUR LAUNCHED
Gary James, author of the politically provocative book ERACISM will launch his national promotion campaign, following a book signing event at Harlem's Hue-Man Bookstore and CafÃ, located at 2319 Frederick Douglass Blvd., between 125th and 124th Streets on 8th Avenue, Friday July 27, 2007 at 6:00 PM.
The book's narrative has a polemical quality that is designed to inspire a broad based political discourse on the future of black power electoral politics in the 21st century. The title of the book ERACISM is a metaphor for the self defeating aspects of how the Black community and leadership address internal social, economic, political and cultural challenges.
The relative lack of political leverage in the Black community at large positions us as political weaklings among the respective minority communities. This is despite the historical numerical advantage of the Black American community as compared with more recent ethnic and political minorities,James said.
The story of ERACISM embraces the period that includes the late 1950's to the present and highlights the internal political dynamic within New York City's Black American community/leadership in the context of the civil rights and black power youth movements. The political dynamics embody the primordial rivalry between the ruling bulls and emerging bucks in the framework of both the Democratic and Republican Parties at the grassroots level of community politics.
Following the Harlem book signing event, James will undertake a local, regional and national book speaking and signing tour. The itinerary of the tour includes the well established Borders and Barnes & Nobles network of book sellers around the country.
James said, "I am pleased to launch the book tour from the Harlem based Hue-Man bookstore and look forward to presentations in other Harlem's of this country". The objective of the book promotion campaign is to inspire a broad based discourse that offers strategic alternatives to how electoral politics may be done in Black America. Apparently the Black political leadership does not have a coherent and practical strategy to enforce the legislative and statutory achievements of the modern civil rights movement. Hence, the Black community has the unique distinction of being the political weakling as compared to other ethnic and political minorities. Tragically there is no light at the end of the political tunnel.
Hopefully the book's message will help the Black community at its vote achieve escape velocity, and break through the inertia of conventional political wisdom advocated by the inherited civil rights leadership orthodoxy, James concluded.
The book will be officially released on Monday July 2, 2007, and will be available at most books stores and the Internet.
