making the crew first drive here, then drive there, etc. ... before the match actually took place.

When they arrived, the Old Man said Mayfield also had the scales rigged, and so (to make a long story short) Mayfield used a lot more than "conditioning" to win dogfights ...
The man who mentored the Old Man in the 60s (a local dogman named Paul Sweeney) faced and beat Earl Tudor 3-4x.

Jack if the scales were rigged why the hell did he go on with the fight ? if he could prove the scales were fixed like mayfield proved against other dogmen then the fight would not have gone on , but thats the first i heard of mayfield rigging scales, but you get me more than hearsay jack and i will be the first one to say so not like others one here who never see facts unless its against mayfield so as they say jack show me the money, and it was mayfeild who found out about some other dogmen who HAD RIGGED SOME SCALES and put a stop to it, so maybe your man in TN just lost to the better dog that day , just like benny bob did to jimmie boots after being driven around for hours.

PS jack most all dogmen will try to get an advantage , whether its home soil pit size driving them around a while before getting to the pit or any number of things thaat they feel may give them some small advantage, like the one you mentioned about drivng around a while , well the guys who had jimme boots did that to bennybob , drove them around for 3 hours for security as an excuse , then they find out that the motel was only 5 mins from the pit.
Or keeping a dog hanging on the scale while checking weight is another one and if the owner of the dog allows it to happen thats their stupidty , but claiming that mayfield rigged the scales is maybe your man in TN's gut feeling maybe becasue he lost and like many men before him thought they coudlnt lose and so look for a reason why , even mayfield as mentioned on this thread by CYJ couldnt believe a female of his lost and felt sure she'd been rubbed but just lost to the better dog, but your claim jack like many needs some meat on the bones before saying it , weres the proof ? mayfield proved they were rigging the scales, randy probably knows the story of when mayfield got wise to it and put a stop to it, and its a known story of how theses dogmen rigged the scales and mayfield found them out, but weres your proof other than your mans in TN 's gut feeling .

Of course without knowing who this TN dogman was its a little harder for anyone to check on anything and a little unfair as we mention other men so we have an idea of who they are and whether they also have any bagage to go along with their fame as dogmen, but not knowing who your talking about isnt very easy is it , or what other fights took place that night ,maybe other dogmen who were there might be able to add their 2 cents , but that would need a little more info than your providing other than some hearsay from only one side of at least two possibilties jack .
