The third round was named 1982 Round of the Year by The Ring.
About a week before the fight, promoter Don King convinced the boxers to accept purse reductions due to lagging ticket sales. Gomez and Pintor, who had signed to fight for $750,000 each, took a pay cut of $125,000. The main event fighters, Thomas Hearns and Wilfred Benitez, who had been guaranteed $1.5 million a piece, received $250,000 less.
Initially, promoters hoped to attract a crowd of 40,000 to the Superdome in New Orleans. However, estimated attendance was just 12,000.
The fight was shown on HBO, pay-per-view and at 150 closed circuit locations.
