Don King from Don King Productions and Kathy Duva from Main Events formally announced the showdown between two-time world champion “Ferocious� Fernando Vargas and three-time world champion Ricardo “El Matador� Mayorga in the Chick Hearn Press Room at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The room was packed with media, and all went well until the trash-talking Mayorga approached the podium and Vargas immediately removed his sunglasses. Vargas initially maintained his composure while Mayorga repeatedly referred to him as “fatty� as well as other terms not normally deemed acceptable in public company.

Vargas grabbed his crotch and gestured to Mayorga and said, “Here’s your fatty.�

The breaking point came when Mayorga said he was going to do Vargas’s family a favor by retiring him and not allow his family to suffer every time he steps in the ring.

Vargas and members of his camp stood up and went after Mayorga, and a melee ensued. Order was restored when Mayorga left the press conference and Vargas was allowed to address the media.
