was stopped by public demand. Upon returning from Mexico reviewed the chronic arrears and one of them contemplate with astonishment that the judge entrepreneurs Madrid Square Manolo Chopera proclaims that "when he left office he did with criticism of his work for its authoritarian character. But says that long after it has been recognized as the best manager of Madrid "... Asómbrame so great audacity. For starters, Manolo Chopera turned out of the plaza in Madrid the same charge had been taken to relying on an organizational capacity at the time failed to implement their promises and gave a negative balance so that their sponsors had to give them cease to lie in the hands of the brothers Lozano, who by then had very bad press and had not managed any plaza or any fair organized class. Were merely the agents of Palomo Linares and the protagonists of scandals for the presentation of the runs selected for 'care' to the bullfighter. Do not forget that one of the hottest events had as protagonists the criticadísimos Lozano brothers when they tried to circumvent the authority of the crowding in the pens Maestranza de Sevilla runs unworthy of the square until the civil governor, Utrera Molina, decided to suspend the running as a warning to the audacity of the Lozano.
Almost unprecedented in the history of the famous fair. Too bad he had to Manolo Chopera so that after its aura of formality and prestige had to dismiss the Community of Madrid and run the risk of giving the square a few businessmen whose tricks were in the public domain and were closed against the rejection of the Madrid fans.
Chopera Too bad it had to within a few years, Lozano will double the capacity of the fertilizer and remain in office much longer than Chopera. And as it so happens that I do, I witnessed the work of one and the other, I can attest to the poor that Manolo Chopera management and the many reasons which forced the public of Madrid to show their rejection and induce cessation. First things first:
Chopera introduced in the Las Ventas bull bastote, Grandon and overweight, especially in the run off of fertilizers, which if successful would repeat a modest matador with another run dry desperate to cut flights. Paid little and hired bullfighters with the warning that if their demands went close the doors of the many squares and fairs that ran out Madrid. The block contracts for a large number of runs and the attorneys knew that Madrid could not ask for the money that should logically require the full space, television and the fertilizer sold. Not many years ago that gave a resounding warning to Juan Mora, leaving several seasons out of circulation. As is known, the year that Mora was absolute winner of the show in Bilbao, in organizing next year's posters and being Chopera the agent of the bullfighter, he dared to ask him to include only what an evening in one of the commercial runs a sign of figures. And another run as he wished. Mora did not talk about money or requirements when deserved good deal to be the winner of the show. Chopera response was despotic: "I'm going to take the show in Bilbao and all my positions." And he left unemployed. Not fought in any of the many fairs organized in August and September, and being a good bullfighter poster was in utter failure because other employers of less strength than the Basque refused to hire him, even in modest trade fairs for fear of reprisals from Chopera.
Juan Mora, like a bullfighter pointer, went to Calvary for several seasons banished to the county fairs, no glory and no money. The ramp of the picks This is a high-profile case which probably should have news these new writers before proclaim as the best businessman who has had the square of Madrid, where, among others, committed the following violations: Dissolve the rebellious barrage of eight, stop the green tissues of seven, ending the top of opposition tended four, to accomplish in a campaign by Zabala from 'ABC' to the horses instead of cutting out the door do so by regulation is between seven and eight, just above where it is the fate of this so the horses suddenly presented him no time for the public to judge the invalidity of some bulls and organize the protest to force it back. When the public had wanted to react bull flags changed and I had to swallow. Thus, with the collaboration of Zabala, slipped many bulls have had time to view the audience toured the choppers while half of the ring until the third bite, had declared his limp and had been returned to the corral. If these writers take the trouble to review the posters organized by Chopera San Isidro, verify that none had barely finished with three figures and a herd of success. Chopera had separate rule bullfighters high fees and closing billboards with a picture, a medium-renowned but money and fill a third without any requirement.
Saturdays and Sunday calls got tough with three bullfighters bullfights modest low budget. They only knew what they did when the employer had liquid assets. Contempt Antoñete However, the most bloody of all was the Antoñete, the largest cartel bullfighter in Madrid and one case only comparable to Curro Romero in Seville. As is known, Curro was the most charged in La Maestranza and chose the dates, farms and co-sign before anyone else. He was the master of the fair. Knowing
Chopera of force that had the lock, was quick to seize Antoñete and so could not ask more than anyone in Las Ventas. The global contracts for all squares and all season and made him an average per run. So that money up for Madrid, in Almeria, Salamanca and Logroño. There is a painful fact that defines the helplessness of the bullfighter. When we organized the farewell, instead of electing the bulls for his brilliance as, as you would with Manolo Sevilla shortly after giving a farewell apotheosis Vázquez, Chopera threw him to the lions with six bulls (many hats) dilapidated and without proper guarantee charge or by or for mating makings. Two mules came from a herd completely unknown and has since disappeared, a certain Alarcón. Chopera
said were full guarantee Núñez because they came from, but at the moment of truth Antoñete was unable to get anyone in the crutch. Not one around the ring. Not a decent task. The public and Antoñete were desolate. At the end of the run, without being able to link lucid half dozen passes all afternoon, the public took it out on their shoulders Madrid amid a clamorous ovation while Antoñete was crying for his bitter end. Was the reaction against Chopera. Tempts in El Berrocal But there's more. Last year, after which soil tentadero do in early November Berrocal, acted in 'El Berrocal' Antoñete and Curro Vázquez. After dinner we organized a party at the club sounded Conde Rodrigo Hotel. Everybody happy. Antoñete not participate in the party. I was sad, in a corner of the bar, smoking and drinking whiskey all the time. At his side, tried to cheer Curro Vázquez.
Antoñete told us that within two days are going to start the tour of America and still not know what I had won this season. Had fought six evenings in Madrid, "Manolo Chopera but I have not yet settled. I have given advances for expenses and pay the crew. But at this point still do not know what I'm going to pay." It is fair to say that there is no news that Chopera owes money to anyone. Pay seriously. But what is good and he wants. Normally accompanying proxies bullfighters on the run and if figures are to a charge of selecting and 'disguise' the bull in the field. Chopera does not travel with bullfighters.
not send anyone to 'see' the runs. Is your representative to choose the run that should go to Salamanca or Logroño or Bilbao, but the race is is best for this or another bullfighter. Chopera bullfighters have no right to choose and revise their runs. Juan Mora tried a fair request and sent him to the street. It's obvious that Manolo Chopera its heyday was the least bad of many entrepreneurs. But always sweeping toward home. Now an industry is campaigning to remove the square to give it to Lozano and Chopera. Now that is quite sick and has delegated virtually all their children Paul and Oscar. Two newcomers who have made good father. Neither has a place to conduct consistent with such a responsibility. But the rascal go and throwing the hook. Anyway, if anyone dares to even say that Manolo Chopera was the best businessman in Madrid I would ask that you review the history and check the facts supporting their miserable mismanagement. If it were not for the enchufillo of Canal Plus, a piece of bullfighter as Antoñete, idol for Madrid, would be destitute. Be asked to the 'lock' if Chopera was a good businessman and a good attorney. But surely at this stage no longer dares to say what he told us that morning in Ciudad Rodrigo.
For those unfamiliar with the trajectory of the 'big' employer will remember two historical disasters that were organized by trying to praise.
Paco Camino's farewell in Mexico, where he worshiped, was a disaster on account of the Basque apotheosis. The famous bull-Mundovisión in Marbella held a hand to hand Path and Manolo Martinez was another unqualified disaster. And now that nobody comes with many such stories because I have witnessed firsthand Chopera errors. ___________________________________________________________
