Worth listening to. De La Hoya has some really honest moments mixed in with promoter bs...but with him it is always easy to tell when he's being a boxing fan and when he's lying.
Notes:
Takes an immediate shot at DiBella in the first few words of the entire podcast.
Also, he gives away that Cotto and Lemieux is looking good for the end of the year.
He says his 19 year old fighter named Virgil Ortiz stopped Mattyhysse in the gym.
Tells Haymon fighters who never know when their next fight is going to happen to call him, because he will actually plan out their career.
Tries to defend HBO but also gives Showtime props for a very good year.
Calls Anthony Joshua the savior of the heavyweight division but says Canelo is the savior of the sport.
Almost gives his cell number out on the podcast twice
Bets Mannix a beer that HBO will have a great year next year. Awkard silence from Mannix after that lol
Sounds like he could be a little (or a lot) drunk

Who stabbed him in the back?
lol c'mon man. You know the answer to that.
But the point of the thread is that this is an interesting podcast to listen to. It isn't to debate Oscar's morality, decision making, or past problems with his business partners.
Nobody stabbed Oscar in the back. He created his own problems with drugs, alcohol, and bad decisions. Like lying to Stephen Espinoza about staying with Showtime then jumping to HBO & didn't even have the courtesy to tell Showtime
Both can be true.
oops, sorry. not allowed to be reasonable on this forum.
