IF HE IS GUILTY, then he's another pathetic boxing story. He made a great deal of money from the sport.

The Macho Man is out on bail.

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) -- Three-time boxing champion Hector ``Macho'' Camacho was released from jail after a friend paid part of his bond.

Camacho was charged with burglary of a Gulfport computer shop. Biloxi police also charged him with drug possession after officers said they found him with 10 ecstasy pills in a hotel room when they arrested him Thursday.

The 42-year-old boxer was released Friday after being held on $75,000 bail for the drug charge and $50,000 for the burglary charge, police said. Bonding companies are required to collect 10 percent -- in this case, $12,500. A friend put up $2,000 and Camacho will pay the rest, Randy Hilton of D&H bail bonds told The Associated Press on Saturday.

Actually I was wrong he lost to a guy named Chris Walsh on a technical decision after 7 rounds in April of 2004 (close fight with cards of 56-58, 57-58, 56-58).

He was scheduled to fight him again on the 21st.
