The fight in Livermore was to take place at an Indian Casino. Joey was handed credentials and asked to walk the fighter into the blue corner. He says the winning Top Rank fighters were always in the red corner and they’d usually keep the same coach in the blue corner all night long.

Joey sat in Trampler’s hotel room as they ran down the operation. Joey claims Trampler was connected to the New York mob family, which further increased respect he had for Bruce’s professional acumen. They became “close” and that closeness seemed to get Joey all of the favors that Top Rank did for him. As they were chatting after the fight, Sean summoned Joey to room 344.

In room 344 Joey says he found some girls having sex with up-and-coming boxers. Joey claims he saw Top Rank attorney Scott Woodworth cutting fifty or so coke lines. Scott had been an attorney for Don King and had managed Terry Norris to win the WBC Junior Middleweight. Scott introduced Joey to his brother Ryan, whom Joey had already met as a prisoner in Soledad. Scott complained that Todd Debouf was pressuring Mr. Arum to have him fired.

Scott asked Joey to sit down and supposedly said “Fuck Top Rank. I will handle your comeback and will give you half a million to fight Orlin Norris for a bogus title that you will win.” Sean shrugged his shoulders. Top Rank was only paying Joey $20,000.

Joey returned to Vegas in the morning with Sean. Scott went back to San Diego. Sean informed Joey that Scott was going to be fired that week for contract mistakes that cost Top Rank around one million dollars. Joey sent Octavia to find him a new residence for the two of them and flew to San Diego to meet with Scott.

At the airport Joey says he ran into Ken Hurdle from the California DOC, who he explained his good fortune to. Scott was out front with a limo for Joey. They hugged and were off to Scott’s home where they read the press about Joey’s upcoming fight. Scott had been fired that morning and had spent the day making a banner that declared “Training Center for Joey Torrey. Unfinished Business.” with matching 8x10” photos. Scott put up Joey in a San Diego hotel with a balcony overlooking the ocean.

Joey says that Scott knocked on the door, slumped in a seat, yelling on the phone to Todd Debouf from Top Rank, “Well fuck you too, punk!,” and poured a vial of coke onto the table. The more Joey interacted with Scott, the more he felt that Scott may have been using more cocaine than anyone else at Top Rank.

Joey says that Scott claimed he was connected to the family through David Gambino in San Diego and one of the boss’ sons was living in La Jolla, bank-rolling his new promotional firm. Joey’s return to the ring would be the company’s first promotion for The Entertainment King. Joey felt Scott was increasingly becoming a loose cannon.
