A strange situation emerged when Catfight Breaks Out at Funeral of Slain Boxing Champion Hector 'Macho' Camacho when Family, fans and fellow boxers had gathered in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Tuesday to say goodbye to the slain former world champion fighter.
The brawl broke out after 28-year-old Cynthia Castillo, emblazoned with Camacho's face, leaned down to kiss his body in the open casket.
Castillo tells news that her appearance prompted tensions immediately. She claims that she is Camacho’s secret girlfriend.
“I am the actual girlfriend of Macho, and those who don’t like it better not bring it” she told ESPN Deportes. “They shouldn’t be going after me. They should be thanking me for being with him at all times.”
Castillo, the youngest of the women in the brawl, showed up with a pink t-shirt. When she walked over to an area for family, Gloria Fernandez got displeased along with Esther and Estrella Camacho. El Nuevo Dia, reporting at the funeral, heard Castillo refer to the boxer as “my partner, my friend, my brother.”
Another fight erupted thereafter. Former bantamweight champ Wilfredo Vazquez and Jorge Lozada were in attendance. Vazquez’s wife tried to offer her condolences to Camacho’s mother, Maria Matias. She leaned in to embrace Mrs. Matias. But then, Camacho’s family pulled Ms. Vazquez apart from Ms. Matias.
