Golden boy putting on Affliction fight on same day as Margarito-Mosley

Luke Thomas from bloddy elbow said that golden boy and affliction havent gotten along right after they partnered up. So i guess oscar isnt giving a fuk after all and is doing what he wants now

What is funny is the Oscar lovers act like they don't know why or they just pass it off as "business"...like that's OK. You know when a mobster kills someone ..he usually says "its just business". Please, just because its business doesn't make it right. Some of these guys that dont mind filling Oscars pockets, should just do it quietly, stay in the closet so to speak. You guys do just that...stay in the closet and stop pitching for Oscar like one of his hoes. Oscar already flat out said his only goal is to make billionaire status. He probably will make it but I tell you this, he will make it on the Oscar lovers backs and pockets. He don't care about you, me, or your mother, his only concern are dead people......dead presidents to be exact. These same fan hoes are the ones that no matter who Oscar decides to fight, bum or not they pitch it as great or great money or great legacy. You guys are Oscar bitches and If that statement hurt, relax ...its just business.:drillserg Wake up! I'm just saying even for business it doesn't seem very smart. Even if only a fraction of the fans/customers overlap there is a loss. Also, two events on the same day means one of them gets less time put in than the other, and both get less than they could have. But overall you are right, just look at the type of shit he has put on pay per view in the last couple of years, it is a ****ing shame.

Why do you guys assume that these two events are even fighting for the same fan base ? They aren't, contrary to what many of you believe. Besides, those who do like both sports, and are interested in seeing both fights will be able to Tivo or record the HBO fight, and watch the Affliction fight live on PPV. * I doubt many people from NSB will fall into this category though. Thanks for your positive outlook.

Stick to boxing Low Blow cause you dont know MMA. right......

Yeah, well it seems like Arum took the lead and the tickets where so reasonably priced that the demand was just awesome. They originally were not opening up the upper levels but ended up having to and selling them for 25 bucks. It is just a dumb ass move to put both events on the same day, it makes no sense at all. The affliction event was cancelled from another date though, so maybe it was bad planning after the cancelation. The reasoning behind that was they thought they were doing a hybrid event with GBP, but they couldn't get past HBO. It went downhill from there.

General stupidity. Thinking he can get MMA fans to this event in the same town yet hasn't helped promote it in said town. Ticket numbers are awful for this event. Well the event is awful itself. Pitting Fedor, whose the best and greatest heavyweight in MMA history, against a hasbeen fighter, and filling the rest of the card with garbage. What did they expect?

Besides the money,Who knows why he would!

Because the De La Hoya is a *** !!...

And Affliction is rumored to break less then 2k. I don't have the ticket prices, but they're said to be reasonable. Not trying to start wars, but Affliction got stiffed in the PR dept. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/1/9/715753/rumor-affliction-ticket-sa Yeah, well it seems like Arum took the lead and the tickets where so reasonably priced that the demand was just awesome.

Speaking of which, anyone got the ticket numbers on Marg/Mosley so far?

http://www.afflictionclothing.com/dayofreckoning/ It's on the poster and in the video, and on some press releases so I'm assuming so. I'm not 100% though because I don't follow mma, only 99% sure. Baffles the shit out of me. Maybe De La Hoya is stupider than I thought.

Are you sure Golden Boy is doing the Affliction fight? I don't think they are. http://www.afflictionclothing.com/dayofreckoning/ It's on the poster and in the video, and on some press releases so I'm assuming so. I'm not 100% though because I don't follow mma, only 99% sure.

Wow i did not know that. That is some shit. But its business i guess

Because I'm sad to say but De La Hoya sold his soul out for the $$$ a long time ago.. He's like the Darth Vader of Boxing now.
