Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Salivates Over Rios vs. Matthysse Showdown

[The Gambler1981]

Well Garcia-Matthysse is a very quality fight, but it would be kind of dumb for GBP to pursue that fight until Matthysse becomes a bit more of a known quantity. Plus if that fight is what it could be action wise you want the most possible eye balls on that fight for the sport.

Linking his name up with Rios is a way to build Matthysse's name which is GBP real goal, use a more popular guys name to build up a lesser known guy it is one of the oldest tricks in the book. If the fight happens great beating Rios would mint Matthysse to a certain degree, or if the fight doesn't happen (or can't happen) spin to make it look like the bigger named guy is ducking the fight and that works also especially for a guy like Matthysse who has the look of a killer.

Oscar knows for whatever reason Bob will not work with him, so he can pretty much say anything and not have to worry about Bob calling his bluff. This way Oscar looks like the good guy, but he's just taking advantage of the situation.

Why is Oscar trying to switch opponents for Lucas? We all know Arum is not interested and Danny Garcia is Mandated to fight Lucas, Just make the fight and stop with that BS!

the difference between golden boy and top rank is that one side you have a team thats willing to sit down and make fights and in the other side you have a bob arum who because of his own personal feelings and vendetta he wont work together fo the sake of the sport and fans.... its really that simple


whats troubling and what bothers me is how bad the media in boxing is, im starting to think bob has really some of these guys on his payroll how they always attack golden boy but when **** like this comes out they wont even address it.....

Arum just made Lara (GBP fighter) fight Vanes (Top Rank) fighter and JCC JR vs Martinez (Dibella)

Name the last fight that GBP made with another promoter and don't say floyd cuz he ain't even got a licence to promote

GBP is just as bad as Top Rank. I don't know why people take sides they're both trash, although I can't really blame either given their ultimate goal is to make the most money, it's not like they care about the sport or have a need to.

Lucas is everything kahn is not, Lucas beats garcia at his own game and knocks him out.

GB has been having really awesome fight cards for quite some time now, TR mostly goes with huge Main Events and a bunch of boring stuff on the undercard
