LAS VEGAS -- When Richard Schaefer, Golden Boy Promotions' CEO, first came up with the idea during a conference call with officials setting up Saturday night's Juan Manuel Marquez-Juan Diaz fight, he said "the line went silent."
"I said, 'We should use an octopus to pick the winner,' and the line went silent as if to say, 'Well, now, he's really lost it,' " recalls Schaefer. "They were like, 'What are you talking about?' And I had to explain, because I'm a big soccer fan, that in the World Cup soccer tournament, they used an octopus to pick the winners, and he was very accurate."Paul Pierce
