LINDA BENTLEY ALL OVER TOP RANK BOXING SCANDAL
Top Rank Promoter Peter McKinn In Jail Garb
Former Top Rank boxing promoter denied early release from probation
PHOENIX – Peter McKinn, the disgraced former Top Rank boxing promoter, who bounced a $5,000 check in May 2004 to boxer Ramon Luis “Yory Boy” Campas and his trainer Joe Diaz and then conspired with others, including Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, to commit forgery and perjury to cover it up, was just denied early release from probation.
McKinn’s fraudulent scheme resulted in Campas losing his license to box for one year during his prime and Diaz losing his license to train for five years. On April 1, 2011, McKinn entered a plea agreement, pleading guilty to three amended counts out of five for theft, forgery and perjury, all as class 6 undesignated offenses, meaning once he completes his sentence and probation the charges can be reduced to misdemeanors.
