Oscar De La Hoya Confirms GGG & GBP Are Under Protection From Demetrius Andrade!

Was he asked if anybody cares about GGG vs Andrade? Was he asked anything about Andrade at all?. It doesn’t matter. That’s Oscar De La Hoya. CEO and Chairman of Golden Boy Promotions. DLH has an eye for stars. He calls the shots. Andrade is not a star. He is a paper champion who has a fanbase the size of an elementary school cafeteria. DLH is pushing his fighter, Munguia, to DAZN for GGG. Naturally, he will put down GGG-Andrade. Like he should, he is a promoter and he should know about all possible fights going on with opponents of interest for his fighters. As a promoter he should link his fighters names with the bigger names of that division. Think harder MCC, or ask better questions.

if GGG beats Andrade you know people will just say he was a paper champ who never fought anyone :lol1: but realistically, how many people actually want to watch Andrade fight? And they would not be wrong. Andrade’s resume is straight up crap. Beating him does nothing for GGG other than take Andrade’s paper title from him. If it’s a legacy fight, how can you have a legacy fight vs a fighter who doesn’t even have a legacy? GGG either KO’s this guy or wins on the cards by default due to Andrade there to only survive and say GGG couldn’t KO him. And then continue his mediocre career.

That is WEAK! However from Oscar's Prospective I get it he is trying to get his fighter that fight but to tell Andrade to go another Direction as if him calling out a guy who is on "His Side Of The Street" and is a World Champion in the same Divisions that is very WEAK Now with that being said...GGG vs Munguia stylistically is more exciting that cannot be denied. However, it is also a much EASIER fight for GGG that cannot be denied either. Especially since Munguia Defense and Head Movement is AWFUL!

Well he would rather his fighter Mungaia get the GGG fight. Who would blame him? Sucks for Boo Boo because him and Charlo would have been a perfect fight for both of them, unfortunately Charlo didn’t/don’t want that smoke.

Andrade is a ****in disgrace. Now he wants to fight the old man Golovkin when he wanted no part of it a few years ago. Who has he actually ever fought that was decent? If i was GGG i'd tell him to go fuk himself. Andrade literally volunteered to fight Borat when he chose Vanes on short notice. So did Dervenchenko... Dumb faggot Borat Muslim Kazakh stans

Yes. I don’t think they have similar resumes though. Charlo’s notable wins are: Derevyanchenko - He looked good vs GGG and Jacobs. I actually had Derevyanchenko edging out GGG. Charlo beat him clearer than GGG and Jacobs. I did have Jacobs beating him though. J-Rock - Battle of undefeated top 5 fighters. J-Rock became champion after this, upsetting Jarret Hurd. Austin Trout - Good win over the then Ring ranked #2 fighter at 154. Charlo’s lesser wins over decent fighters: Matt Korobov Sebastian Heiland Dennis Hogan Cornelious Bundrage To my knowledge, Andrade’s “best”* names are: Vanes - Ring #5 ranked @ 154 Grady Brewer Sulecki Freddy Hernandez Willie Nelson Jack Culcay Saul Duran *I tried. sulecki to me is andrades best win and an underrated one...but his resume stinks...and ive been pulling for andrade for years....its a shame.... its andrade who appears to have limited options...charlo has a few decent ones i think

if GGG beats Andrade you know people will just say he was a paper champ who never fought anyone :lol1: but realistically, how many people actually want to watch Andrade fight?

I guess the guy who's stepping up in competition (in D-chenko) is Charlo and the guy who's fighting nobodies is Andrade, i might be wrong, both have similar resumes, but didnt Hearn sent Charlo a 7 mil offer to unify with Andrade like a year ago? Yes. I don’t think they have similar resumes though. Charlo’s notable wins are: Derevyanchenko - He looked good vs GGG and Jacobs. I actually had Derevyanchenko edging out GGG.

I guess the guy who's stepping up in competition (in D-chenko) is Charlo and the guy who's fighting nobodies is Andrade, i might be wrong, both have similar resumes, but didnt Hearn sent Charlo a 7 mil offer to unify with Andrade like a year ago? hearn might have floated an offer like that...but what nobody really knows is if hearn also wanted an option on charlo after that......the reality is none of haymons top guys are going over to DAZN to fight....it hasnt happened and its not likely to...same with tank davis going over to fight tevin farmer back in the day...its just not realistic.....guys arent really going to cross over unless they can do a big ppp fight....or unless they are lower level guys that need to get fed.....haymons stars arent going on another network for a regular old fight....and same with the other companies guys.... hearn has also "floated" other offers to others but with options which he knows will be turned down...hearn knows its not gonna happen so he can say he tried but he knows the result before he even floats the offer if haymon was having these guys decline offers and take less money everyone would be pissed at haymon...fighters would want to leave him and no young up and coming guys would want to work with him haymon had wilder turn down a DAZN deal...but promised he would get him good money....wilder made about 70 mil the last couple of years still without an AJ fight...thats pretty good...alot of haymon haters dont believe that wilder actually made that money even though several reputable outlets have reported it.....if he had wilder turn down a dazn deal and wasnt making comparible money dont u think wilder would be pissed? and other haymon fighters would catch wind and be pissed? but none of them are and none of them appear to be leaving you have to be careful when following the money/business aspect of the sport hearn knows haymons guys arent taking his offers...he likes to put them out there as an act

It can’t be marinating if only one guy has been stepping up in competition and the guy who pulled out of the fight has been fighting nobodies for 8 years. That’s not how you marinate fights. I guess the guy who's stepping up in competition (in D-chenko) is Charlo and the guy who's fighting nobodies is Andrade, i might be wrong, both have similar resumes, but didnt Hearn sent Charlo a 7 mil offer to unify with Andrade like a year ago?

Oscar's in negotiations with Golovkin, so he's protecting his guy in Munguia which is normal, and he isnt wrong either, Charlo-Andrade fight has been marinating for too long now, 5,6 years maybe, and its a UNIFICATION fight Just make a poll smn pls, the question is - what fight is more meaningful at this stage Andrade - Charlo or Andrade - GGG? It can’t be marinating if only one guy has been stepping up in competition and the guy who pulled out of the fight has been fighting nobodies for 8 years. That’s not how you marinate fights.

It does suck. If Hearn can't get him the big names they need to get a stable of guys they can build up and turn into credible names. i understand that canelo operates on a different plane than most...and if he has no interest in andrade its just not gonna happen....and golovkin is golovkin....hes not gonna fight a guy if he doesnt really like it either.....but youd think a guy like hearn, who has AJ one of the biggest stars/names in boxing, could parlay AJ into something for andrade......thats what powerbrokers are supposed to be able to do....you have a valuable asset? use him to make your others more valuable

I agree. Never thought I would ever agree with you but GGG's team knows he's at the end of his career so its all about managing risks. His next fight will be against Munguia. Bigger and stronger guy but whose weak defense should make him a punching bag. After that should be the Canelo fight just for the money and one last shot at a legacy defining win. If not, I guarantee that his next fight will be against Ryoto Murata. They can claim is a title unifying effort (but its really bull**** because Murata is a paper champion elevated after Canelo left the division) and he's another technically bigger and younger guy but one who has enough deficiencies to be beatable for an old GGG. Plus by the time the fight gets made we should be at a point where thousands of fans can fill an arena in Japan and make it an event fight. After that who knows. Maybe then the Canelo trilogy fight finally gets made. Understandable matchmaking. Matchmaking that will sell. But underwhelming matchmaking. Meanwhile, Charlo and Andrade won't fight each other either but at least Charlo will get the likes of Chris Eubanks Jr in the ring. Andrade is going to get frozen out. andrade is a guy that used to get hated on by alot people here...then when he signed with hearn/DAZN a bunch of those same people became light fans "oh good now we will see him in meaningful fights finally"...but still nothing....really sucks

G vs charlo is the best fight at 160

ggg isnt "afraid" of andrade...but its simply a matchup golovkins people have no desire for...like they had no desire for lara not a style that meshes with what golovkin does well or one that fits to make him look good...too much athleticism at this point...ability to move..and move in and out....munguia is a guy that makes a fight that golovkin is more likely to win.... its not rocket science to figure out what golovkin and his people do.....or what they are looking for......andrade is andrade...his career is a disappointment and its his fault....but he could use a fight with golovkin....and it should be an easy fight to make.....and its a MW unification bout....yet team lil g wants no mention or part of it....which speaks volumes Nothing but truth in this post

Not a guarantee he even beats him. They are trying to freeze Andrade out. The same fans who say an undefeated champion never fought nobody are the same fans who make excuses for the "somebody's" not to fight them. Simultaneously robbing a fighter of opportunity. Time & time again I say my name is my name for a reason & most boxing "fans" aren't actual fans of boxing. In May 2018 Andrade wanted to fight GGG on short notice the day he fought Vanes instead. "A few years ago" has now been debunked. Next goal post will be moved back a few years earlier, so let's go there as well. GGG has never left his weight class & fought in any other OFFICIAL weight class as a professional. FACT! Andrade talked about fighting him years ago even at 54! When his name was brought up he never shied away. A month after Fox Andrade was saying he wanted to make the fight. Ppl ducked GGG but Andrade is not 1 of them! If GGG wanted to force it & call his bluff why he never moved down? What happened with Lara? Wasn't he talking about fighting GGG!? All I know is 2 dudes are 1 division champs & another is a 2 division champ. You figure it out! The next goal post maneuver is he had to fight Canelo all them times 😂😂 I know this game they play!!!! Well said. The mental gymnastics is exhausting.

As long as Golovkin stans stop talking about Cotto, Sergio and Canelo ducking him we're all good here. This is your boy's career now. GGG's resume is pretty bad and he doesn't really care to improve it. Plenty fighters have been robbed or lost close decisions in big fights. But they either already had great wins on their resume or moved on and fought other great fighters and got the win.

Andrade has the WBO belt. Doesn't Golovkin want to unify the division? Munguia isn't very good.

They should come out and be truthful. They want the black fighters to beat each other up first then they might give them a shot. They don't give us a shot at their top fighters like Floyd gave so many of them. You're no "black fighter" - you're a black keyboard *****. So there's no "us" when you're discussing black fighters. I think GGG should fight Andrade, btw. They both have belts. Andrade is boring though, so that's a part of it.

I think he is saying, in a nice way, that nobody cares about GGG vs Andrade. It’s true, nobody cares about GGG vs Dominic Wade/Willie Monroe part 2. People rather see fights like GGG vs Canelo/Derevyanchenko/Jacobs, punchers exchanging big blows while also showing good skills. Munguia would probably put up about a good a fight as Rosado but that’s what people who have DAZN want to see. Just a KO for GGG or upset KO by Munguia. Nobody wants to see GGG chasing Andrade around for 12 rounds, winning because he was the aggressor and because Andrade was too scared to engage after GGG knocks him down early on. This dude was knocked down by Vanes 8 years ago. He didn’t get better because he didn’t fight anyone better in that almost decade. You can’t get better fighting scrubs and good journeymen for 10 years.
