So Garcia fails to make weight and loses the title. The fight goes ahead, if Lopez wins he's champion BUT if Garcia wins the title becomes vacant and will be contested between Salido and Orlando Cruz.
Surely hollywood executives will be rooting for Garcia tonight...
Ready made film, just add A list actor and watch the frog skins roll in.
Enter inappropriate movie name which includes the word "ring" below.

Cruz wouldn't be the first gay world champion: not by a long shot. Of the top of my head Panama Al Brown and Emile Griffith were gay world champions.

But neither have openly admitted to being so have they? ... didn`t Griffiths hint he was - then deny he was?
But in this day and age - wheres the big deal.

Idk if anyone gives a f#ck about a gay boxer...Hollywood or otherwise. This was a story for less then a day. Hell the NBA guy coming out was a story for maybe 2 days & that is way more mainstream.
