Gary Shaw is delusional if he thinks Oscar's main obstacle is being an outsider. If anything, the man is very well-respected in MMA circles. Gary can call MMA fans haters all he wants, but I have no doubt that boxing hardcores hate MMA a lot more than MMA hardcores hate boxing. In fact, I'm aware of UFC research showing the boxing/MMA crossover is much stronger among hardcore MMA fans than casual fans.
Gary Shaw wants Oscar to fail or quit because he needs an excuse for his own failure. The real reason for his failure is a lot like the reason for most people's failures. He did a god-awful job and paid the price for it.
