TOP RANK & THE MEDIA CAN NO LONGER BE “IN DENIAL!”

Seeing nobody has conned me like that dupe in the movie “The Sting” featuring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, the latest “Exclusive” revelations broken here at www.RingTalk.com involving Bob Arum’s Top Rank will certainly bring an end to the promotional entity that Arum created in the mid 1960’s.  That being said, every document produced thus far has been deemed “Authentic” by my “Document Expert.”  Except one, and today that is Exhibit #1.  It is purported to be the “Bout Agreement that Ramon “Yory Boy” Campas signed in order to meet Oscar De La Hoya in May of 2003.  To view Exhibit #A and then hit your “Return” arrow on your Browser and come back to continue. 

 

EXHIBIT #A CASH FIGURE “$300 G’s” GENUINE SAYS WBC GUY!

The “Purse Amount” on this document that is derived from a several generation copy, it says “$300,000.”  My “Documents Expert” says he cannot say whether the “$300,000” figure itself is authentic.  “The copy is too far removed from the original for me to form an opinion as to its authenticity,” said a man who has dealt with forgery in his work.  BUT, an Official for the WBC, one that personally worked the fight, he was clear.  “Campas, his end was $300,000 and that’s why we took $9,000, which is 3% of $300,000.”  The problem with this my “Ring Talk” family members is that the Nevada Athletic Commission has a Contract stating Campas made but $100,000, and not $300,000!

 

“RING TALK” SEEKS OUT “STAR TRUCKING!”

“Star Trucking” is the company that “Deposited $73,511” into the bank account of Campas on May 23, 2003, the final pay minus a $20,000 advance for fighting Oscar De La Hoya on May 3.  Even though people told me the firm didn’t exist, I went and personally checked all possible City & County Records pertaining to Star Trucking of San Ysidro, CA and found nothing!  As for “California Corporations,” one of my Detectives ran a check on the firm that received a check for $180,000 signed by Top Rank Vice President Toad du Beof.  The only active Star Trucking in California is in Orange, CA.  When asked if they were at all involved in boxing, the person on the phone told me.  “This is Orange.  We don’t have an office in San Ysidro.”

 

TRAMPLER YOU KNOW YOU’RE “CHOPPED LIVER!”

The next document I will put forth this morning involves Top Rank’s other Vice President Bruce Trampler.  All of say 50 years old is Bruce, but looking 70, people in the Legal profession are saying that’ll be Bruce and the aforementioned Toad du Beof, who is Arum’s stepson, that du Beof and Trampler will end up in orange jumpsuits doing jail time!  To view Exhibit #B and then hit your “Return” arrow on your Browser and come back to continue. 

 

SO WHY AM I FREAKING OUT SOME ASK?

 

Because all the stuff that I’ve accumulated has come to me quite easy!  I didn’t have to browbeat the FBI, Justice Dept., or friends in high places.  One day I put out a feeler and soon thereafter received a package.  It was from that point forward I realized that Top Rank isn’t long for living!  Without any question, there is no way to get around du Beof sending that check to Star Trucking.  And before you, Toad du Beof, before you and your Attorney Ike Epstein even thinks about blaming the ex-Top Rank Controller, be advised this person is already a cooperating Government witness against you!

 

TOP RANK PIMPED THE ILLITERATE “YORY BOY”

What I failed to tell you thus far through three parts of “Operation Yory Boy” is that Ramon “Yory Boy” Campas is illiterate!  In other words, Campas cannot read or write!  So when they told him Yory that he was being charged $10,000 for a “Pee Test,” how can a man that lacks formal education know whether this is kosher or not?  Tomorrow I bring you the long awaited “Arizona-Connection.” 

 

AZ IS A PART OF PUZZLE COMING TO SCREEN NEAR YOU!

 

This piece will expand on “Bounced Checks” and how Promoter Peter Mc Kinn, a Top Rank front man wrote checks to fighters that first bounced due to “Insufficient Funds.”  And when the check was resubmitted, Mc Kinn “Closed” the account!  I will post that check with the article.  Did Arizona Boxing Director John Montano, did he sit on this $5,000 check to “Yory Boy” Campas for seven months, and all the while did he allow Mc Kinn to stage shows?  This and more as the week proceeds! 

 

THIS STUFF TAKES ME AWAY FROM BOXING WRITING!

 

If I’ve fallen off the horse when it comes to my actual boxing coverage, please realize that not only is ‘Investigative’ work exhausting and time consuming, it is extremely stressful!  That being said, this morning I’ve got the “February ‘Schedule, Odds, & Predictions” up and ready to make you “Beans!”  Go to the “Schedule & Predictions” spot at the top of this page.  By the way, if you went with the Bets I told you to put “Beans” on in January, you would have went ten for ten!  Can any other Journalist top that I ask? 

 

THE JURY HAS THE EVIDENCE, NOW YOU VOTE!

Send me an email indicating whether or not Bob Arum and Top Rank are “Guilty” or “Not Guilty” of Pimping “Yory Boy” Campas?  Send your verdict ASAP to Pedro@RingTalk.com Thus far, 79 Guilty votes out of well 79 votes!
