Oscar challenges Floyd to promotional battle...

Looks like The only way Floyd can win this battle is if he fights Pacquiao come May 2015. TMT will be crushed if Floyd takes on Oscar's challenge, as Cenelo vs Cotto, and GGG vs Ward are on tab for May 2015. What do you guys think? http://behindthegloves.com/news/oscar-de-la-hoya-willing-to-challenge-mayweather-with-a-cinco-de-mayo-card-of-his-own/ That proposed card would never happen. Besides, Mayweather could fight Chris Algieri or Danny Garcia and still beat out Cotto/Alvarez in PPV sales because he sells more than both of them combined.

Lots of things that would have to go down like Cotto vs Canelo on HBO ppv . Maybe Donaire vs Mares as the co feat I was thinking maybe Khan vs Bradley but I doubt Al Haymon would go for it. No way GGG vs Ward happens no way Ward fights on the undercard no chance.

You know boxing is having a bad year when the hot topic in July 2014 is what is going to happen in May 2015 very keen observation.... floyd declared a surprise for may 2015 and a lot of people put stock into it... hope it does not go the way like "pac you're next"

The card ODH suggests is better than almost any Floyd card. Can't see TR competing against itself with a Floyd/many card on a night cotto/canelo fight That said-seats at a Floyd fight cost somewhat more than a Canelo fight. Since MGM is going to sell out with either card I think they'd go with the fight that would bring the larger gate. If TMT countered with Floyd/danny, Broner/Matts, Thurman/Porter that might do it. go oscar go.... this promotional battle will be very interesting and more likely to benefit the fans.. still, i can see bob will play a big role on how this plays out... and al would be just going with the flow....

Arum/DLH can destroy Floyd/Haymon if they really wanted to. However, everyone(except DLH) wants money with the least amount of risk.

the funny thing is everyone use to say that Chavez-Froch would bump Floyd off his date. Then they gave up and moved to Cotto-Canelo would without a doubt bump Floyd off his date. Now that those guys are doing PPV's on there own at only the 300's they are now stackng Cotto-Canelo with Triple G-Ward and people are actually talking trash about it like "Floyd better move now"......lol Thats pathetic. Next thing they will be trying to add Chavez-Froch to that card

And if GGG vs Ward is on that same card I'd pay about $90 for that PPV..

If Canelo vs Cotto happens in May then the only guy Floyd could fight would be Manny. Otherwise, he gets blown off the date. I don't see why it matters to him anyway if he's not fighting a Mexican.

The only reason this card wouldn't happen is because of Ward. But everyone saying it wouldn't be possible are on crack, this card could very well be made but Ward is the issue. Firstly, GGG/Ward wouldn't sell sh*t on PPV and HBO would probably lose money on that card, neither guy is a solid draw yet. Has not watching Golden Boy on every Mayweather card not made him a huge star? The exposure of being the fight right before a big main event is far better than no one buying a PPV or even being on HBO. More casuals watch PPV fights than would watch a regular fight on HBO, the numbers prove this. You can pull 1.4 million people watching, but 1.4 million people buying is at least 5 million eyeballs. I've never been to a PPV fight party that didn't have at least 4 people there, this isn't counting bars, closed circut or any of that stuff. Ward is probably too proud and it isn't "god's plan" so he'll be a f*cking idiot and turn it down. This is a card that should be made, and unless Floyd fights Manny (which is not happening) this card would squash anything Floyd did.

Its not possible. Ward is with Goossen, GGG is with K2. Plus you have Cotto promotions, and doesnt Nelo have his own little promotions as well, so four promoters for one PPV. Ward vs GGG is a headline of Its own and both parties realize that. It just doesn't make sense for then to be on an undercard (which usually means less money than if they headlined). Don't get me wrong, it would be freakin awesome card. The money part is why I don't see ward on there. I'm sure Loeffler is just happy to get the expoure and it gives him a good place for unification with Solimon who doesn't seem like he's gonna ight till next year with GGG. Ithink he would step asde for Golovkin because it'd help their cause in the future. I don't think Ward would be on that ever. Becue he still has legal problems and it doesn'tlook like it's going away and tehy wouldn't have enough to afford him to be on there. The problem here is the undercard with Cotto and Canelo promotions....last time Cotto's undercard was crap because he wanted all the undercard slots

The Upside-Down World Mr. 50 Cent and Jean Pascal had invited the Champion Shumenov down to a new gym in Las Vegas. Mr. Pascal, I am told, did some slight indiscretion of manners towards Shumenov. No big deal! Unfortunately Pascal then decided, like a child on a playground, to measure up Champion Shumenov’s strength by a slight grab hold grappling measure. The sizeable and muscular Pascal found himself instantaneously twisted, cradled like a new born, and turned upside down. :lol1: Thanks for the update. For some reason I thought that was Broner Shumenov had in his arms :lol1:

I am confused, so he will challenge him with a Unlikely "Dream Card" this article or what ever you want to call it is Extremely Confusing and really doesn't make any sense. LMFAO at GGG vs Ward being a Undercard Fight for Cotto vs Canelo...that will NEVER HAPPEN. Oscar reaching with this one, but I like the idea of loading up a card

It's high time that happened. Mayweather should not even have fought Maidana. He could have rematched Cotto at 160 then Pacquiao in May and beating Canelo again before retiring. I'm sure Mayweather already knew May was going to be tough and I think he has a deal in place to fight Pacquiao. He mentioned he had a surprise so Im sure he will fight Pacquiao and maybe rematch him. Pacquiao is also taking a safe bet in Algieri although I see that as a tricky fight.

I'm trying to support Oscar in running Golden Boy but what is he trying to achieve here? I don't know why anyone would bring up Floyd's experience as a promoter when everyone knows Haymon and Shaefer will be in the background guiding mayweather promotions in an unofficial/official capacity......

What do you guys think? http://behindthegloves.com/news/oscar-de-la-hoya-willing-to-challenge-mayweather-with-a-cinco-de-mayo-card-of-his-own/ After Floyd is done what other Black is a draw ? Ward, Broner Berto that is why Oscar say's bring it on. PPV fans want to see Floyd lose the other guys well lets just say nobody wants to pay for head butts and running

Oscar seems like he's just throwing sh*t against the wall. He has no control over Ward's current situation He doesn't promote GGG He's "technically" still not working with Top Rank (though I think the Cotto fight will push through) But I will say...Floyd has NO experience being his OWN Promoter and Oscar has a Decade on him. We can't forget, Mayweather vs Maidana 2 is a Golden Boy Promotions fight (in association with Mayweather Promotions http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/sass2.png). Though I don't think this card is actually going to happen, I still think Floyd would need a "HUGE" May date / opponent if Cotto vs Canelo and (possibly) a TR vs GB card is made. We'll see if Floyd indeed has a "surprise" in May.

It's only a challenge if Floyd still has a fight on Cinco De Mayo.... or the same month even. This fight is more suited for that date too.

how come no one ever calls Oscar out on his B.S.? All he does is go on twitter and post outrageous things to get replies. Pretty much nothing he ever says come true or is even reasonable. He's like a promoter version of Skip Bayless but no one ever says anything. He tweets stuff about fighters who didnt even say anything themselves. Just like recently he says Quillen would do a number on Triple G and they could fight when pretty much no one thinks Quillen wants that fight, atleast not next. Then he starts talking about Ward vs G on the undercard when its super clear that G's team wants none of that fight and Oscar promotes neither. Its a joke and people run with it. Its almost like he's still on drugs with the things he post or even worst, like he's some 16yo on an internet boxing site who just makes crazy post all the time to get responses. None of that stuff is happening, atleast not next. Even if Ward-G did fight, you think it would be on an undercard? Cotto & Canelo have been in the 300ppv range lately yet that fight is going to make enough to give both those guys want they want and Ward vs G? Hell No. Stop listening to that garbag
