Danger In The Danger Zone

A scuffle broke out between "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya and Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga on the set of a television commercial shoot in a downtown Los Angeles warehouse today.  Both fighters exchanged negative comments between takes while being asked to repeatedly walk towards each other and participate in a stare down.  Eventually the trash-talking escalated to the point where shoving began and both boxers had to be restrained.  It will be interesting to see what transpires on this week's media tour to kick off the promotion for their May 6 showdown at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and on HBO Pay-Per-View.  The tour will start on Tuesday in Los Angeles, make two stops in Houston and Chicago on Wednesday, and conclude on Thursday in New York.

Oscar DeLaHoya and Ricardo Mayorga came close to blows today at their Los Angeles Press Conference to promote their May 6th battle entitled “Danger Zone”.

Mayorga: “I’m going to make you my b****!”

DeLaHoya: “Im going to knock you out! Mark my words!”

Not only did Mayorga and DeLaHoya have words, but Floyd Mayweather Sr. had a few choice words for Ricardo as well,

so Stay Turned as we will be bringing you FULL VIDEO of what took place including the minor scuffle that was started when Mayorga, for the second time, put his hands on DeLaHoya.
                                                                                                                         

 
DANGER ZONE
Beverly Hills Press Conference Almost Gets Out Of Control - Video
  
Hard hats where handed out at the door for the media in attendance, and for a brief moment it looked as though the protective gear was going to be needed. As Oscar De La Hoya and Ricardo Mayorga met on the podium to announce their plans to meet in the ring on May 6th at The MGM in Las Vegas it was clear the two have a mutual disrespect for one another, and when Mayorga shoved Oscar it looked as though the two were going to go out it right there and then. But cooler heads prevailed and separated the foes before any significant damage could be done.
 
The Los Angeles press conference was the start of a four city tour to promote their upcoming battle for the WBC Super Welterweight Championship bout. One has to wonder how these two are going to make it through the next few days of promotion given the hostility we saw on display on Tuesday.
 
If this is a sneak preview of things to come then everyone should expect fireworks in the ring that night and it should not be missed.
