I will announce Tuesday.
These two tweets by Oscar de la hoya have created a lot of interest and speculation as to what Oscar has planned.
Option 1- A major network tv deal to televise Boxing with CBS.
Option 2- Some kind of agreement for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao to happen.
Option 3- Golden Boy Promotions announcement of what fight will headline their new Boxing series at The Barclays Arena.
Option 4- Oscar de la hoya's big comeback.
Hoping it's the network deal. Personally I think it's going to be Wlad vs ??? on CBS. The timing is coming too soon after Wlad announced his plans to fight in the US, and Oscar's promise to help him gain exposure there.
The GB Barclays center deal is pretty much known already so if thats his big announcement thats pretty ****ing lame. In fact that exclusive Barclay center deal is actually bad forNew York boxing fans because it restricts fighters from other promoters from what ive seen.
It would be very successful but I really doubt it.
I think I can see it bar Bob Arum. I think he is all but done with Boxing and the new generation Todd Duboef is taking over who Richard Schaefer and Oscar have a very good work relationship with.
The only one to me that would shake the boxing industry is option 1. Anything else and I will be thoroughly disappointed. I've been waiting to hear this since he tweeted. I can't wait anymore.
What's interesting to me is this also.
"The Boxing Truth @boxingtruth
Chavez: Heard Top Rank is holding a press conference at the Biltmore in Los Angeles on Tuesday."
I'm hopeful it's a joint venture on CBS. Maybe it is the Pac-May agreement. Who knows. I personally don't give two ****s about that fight anymore.
If Golden Boy and Top Rank work together to make exciting matches on network tv would be great but feel im being way too optimistic.
