Pasadena, Russia and Mickey Rourke

A financially strapped Pasadena man finally admitted that the boxing match with Mickey Rourke was a total “SHAM”, according to TMZ.

Elliot Seymour, who sometimes lived on the streets, initially denied the boxing fight in Russia was fixed. He also complained that he was only paid $10,000 out of the promised $15, 000 fee. Early this morning, TMZ Sports published a report of Seymour admitting that he was instructed to “go down” on the second round. Mikey Rourke had no knowledge of the deal, according to Seymour.

The TMZ video of Elliot Seymour, 29, was shot over the weekend somewhere on Green street in Pasadena.
