Agent: Nothing Wrong In Mayo Case
05/13/2008 06:08:04
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The head of the sports agency representing former Ohio high school standout O.J. Mayo denied any illegal activity involving the Southern California star today -- a day after ESPN reported Bill Duffy Associates gave cash to an event promoter who provided gifts.
Louis Johnson, a former associate of Mayo's, told ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that BDA Sports provided Los Angeles-based event promoter Rodney Guillory with about $200,000 before Mayo arrived at USC. Johnson says a portion of that money was given to Mayo.
Mayo attended Cincinnati's North College Hill for three years, transferring to a high school in West Virginia in 2006 for his senior year.
Mayo has declared for the NBA draft and hired BDA Sports' Calvin Andrews as his agent.
