Seems like just yesterday when Oscar De La Hoya referred to Eddie Hearn's DAZN deal as "PBC Part 2" and doesn’t seem interested to work with them...funny how quickly tunes change in boxing.
Promoters are fickle.
With promoters, there is no mind that can't be changed with some bennies.
Arum/Oscar/Eddie all go with the flow and their statements shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Oscar made the best possible move for Golden Boy. DAZN offer him 12 dates a yr. (including both Canelo dates) to showcase his young talent. Now up and comers like Virgil Ortiz, Alexis Rocha, Ryan Garcia, Hector Tenajada, Diego De La Hoya, Rashidi Ellis, Lamont Roach have a platform to showcase their skills. While vets like David Lemieux, Bandido Vargas, Sadam Ali, Jorge Linares, Antonio Orozco, JoJo Diaz, Jesus Rojas gain new opponents in Andrade, Jacobs, Quigg, Vargas, Khan etc.. Oscar has done exceptional putting this deal together not just for Canelo but for his entire stable, I tip my hat to him.
Look you got to be retarded to side step something that is working or better than whats out there. At the end of the day some people are astute business men while some are plain retards. Mayweather might not be educated by he is an astute business man. You get offers like that and you dont sit down to look at it? What was Broner offered by Rocnation a couple of years ago? Like i said some boxers/teams are plain retards.
