I remember after he got the gift decision over Ike Quartey, Larry Merchant asks him, "this was such a great fight and so many people got pleasure out of it, do you want to give the public a rematch of this fight"?
Oscar CLEARLY ducking the rematch says "I don't know, you think it was a great fight Larry, I don't really think so. There are bigger and better fights out there for me, I know that!" After hearing him say that, all I could think was "what a fraud!"
LMFAO, Oscar was far from a fraud. The Golden Boy fought a prime Trinidad, Vargas, Mayweather, Pacman and Hopkins plus many more. Dude, dared to be great plenty of times anyone who calls him a fraud don't know 2 cents about boxing
For all the sh1t people give Oscar, I sure wish you appreciate his match making. If dude could make Stevens/Kirkland fight that would be a bloody battle of wills. Props Golden Boy every time people count you out you keep proving them wrong, respect....
Only correct answer is Vergil Ortiz Jr. In a time where most young fighters & establish veterans choose the path of lease resistance Vergil has proven to be the opposite. At 26 yrs old he is just hitting his prime yrs and already fought two Top 5 154 lbs in their prime. TBH, the 154 lbs division is where his legacy will be built against fighters like Bohachuk, Madrimov, Fondura, Lubin, Bakhram, Ramos, Conwell, Zayas, Tellez etc.. it is without question the deepest division in boxing and in my opinion the toughest. Put that with Vergil’s fan friendly style and Mexican heritage the kid holds all the ingredients to be the Biggest Star in Boxing. Let’s not forget it was Oscar who built an unknown 19 yrs old ginger Mexican kid into the Face of Boxing even after being humiliated by Floyd. Now that Turki backing Vergil the sky is truly the limit for him
Heard a rumor that Robert Garcia was given an offer, he couldn’t refuse i.e. force to sign over his gym in Oxnard to the Euro’s. Let’s not fool ourselves a lot of those Ukrainian & Russian fighters have ties to crime syndicates. Look @ Khurthzide he was an enforcer for a criminal gang. Anyhow, no one in their right mind would move from Oxnard to a sh177 hole place like Moreno Valley voluntarily
Didn't sell out the event but yeah, not bad at all.
Last I remember 4K was the maximum amount of tickets Golden Boy Promotions where allowed to sell due to the pandemic restrictions, which technically is a sell out.

Wonder what's going on here. Maybe Oscar is saying fuck DAZN, we're working with Bob.
They’re obviously conspiring against Hearn, as the old saying goes “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”
Theyre going to be furious with Oscar, getting their own lawsuit ready now everyone knows whats in the contracts.
That’s idiotic, only Golden Boy and DAZN knows what’s in the contract. All these other idiots like Mike Coppinger are just assuming. Unless Golden Boy specifically states GGG as a future opponent for Canelo, which I highly doubt seeing how Golovkin was still a FA when Canelo sign his contract w/t DAZN. Then it’s simply bad negotiation from DAZN.
Texeira didnt beat a champ to become one, he was elevated and became the wbo champ after Manguia left 154
Teixeira wasn’t elevated to champ, he earned it the tough way. Patrick fought and beat the unbeaten Adames for the WBO 154 lbs vacant belt on a Top Rank promoted show. That is a much more impressive feat than beating an overblown welterweight in Horn.
He'd beat the Brazilian southpaw, Teixeira, who currently holds the WBO title that was vacated when Munguia moved up to 160.
Tszyu couldn’t even beat Carlos Adames, let alone the man that beat him in Teixeira. This Tim kid is way overhype for beating a one hit wonder and bloated welterweight in Horn. Folks need to start putting respect on Patrick Teixeira name, the man walk through fire to become a champ against a legit threat in Adames on a Top Rank show.
Hearn definitely screw the pouch with DAZN. Dude, overpaid for Jacobs, Andrade, Farmer, Jessie Vargas all of which aren’t fighters that will move the needle for DAZN. However, Hearn did sign some solid prospects in Madrinov, Pacheco, Castro, Ospino, and Haney to matchroom USA. Anyhow, wonder what will happen to all those prospects if DAZN goes under seeing how they own half of Matchroom USA.
Agreed. So it looks really bad to duck him. Almost as bad as it does to want to fight for the vacant WBC belt when two weeks ago he had no interest in it or Benavidez “I’m done fighting Mexicans”
Guess you didn’t get the memo, Callum over valued his worth. Golden Boy offered him 5 mil more than twice he’s ever made for a fight but wants to get the same Kovalev or Jacobs received GTFOH. Let Callum go give Ryder a rematch or he’s just ducking guess we’ll see, LOL.
If they win the purse bid wouldn’t that just kill the fight? Canelo is exclusive to DAZN.
Not when DAZN ain’t paying Canelo his $35 mil per fight. They can’t prevent him from making a living.
Nobody could be mad as long as this amazing fight gets made!!!
Exactly! Let’s see if Canelo thanks Al during the post fight interview like all the other PBC fighters, LOL.
Really wish haters like you would choose greater hills to die on than f**king Callum Smith.
Callum Smith is the equivalent of an anthill.
Callum Smith couldn’t even beat a journeyman in John Ryder who lost to Rocky Fielding, LOL.
well...to be fair...we dont know what might/could have happened with schaeffer and al if oscar didnt come in and blow the whole thing up...again...schaeffer was running golden boy and GB was flourishing through its partnership with al...if oscar didnt come and blow it up who knows what could have happened...oscar got crazy and then also forced schaeffer out of the game for a time....
lets face it...oscars company isnt all that great right now...they basically lost their face...their one need mover...and are now hoping ry and ortiz pan out and become big
schaeffer was also forced to sit out for some time because of oscar....i agree though..he prob thought hed come back and al would use him as a beard company
Yes, Golden Boy isn’t in the best situation at this moment, way too many pariahs trying to rob their talent i.e. MTK Global/Rick Mirigian, Eddie Hearn/Eddy Reynoso. Yet, if this weekend was any indicator
Golden Boy Promotions knows how to built stars. The Ryan Garcia fight highlights on youtube is @ 5.4 mil views n about to pass Canelo’s last fight highlights in less than a day, anyway you slice it that’s impressive. Oscar definitely has a star in Garcia and as you mention I think they have a future ATG in Vergil the kid is something special. Hate to sound like a homer but Vergil has all the tools to rule the 147 lbs division for yrs to come his dedication and discipline are second to none and his power is unquestionable 16-0 and all by KO the Texan will soon be @ the top of the P4P list.
Aside from the obvious, being scared to lose, which we know is the answer.
Why would you fight Mungia when you can fight a guy with a belt and then with a win you're only 2 belts away from undisputed, one of those fights against the guy you keep begging for a fight with.
GGG and Andrade have the same promoter. They fight on the same network. No excuse for this fight not to happen next.
Simple b/c Andrade would be jabbing GGG all night then getting in his bicycle like he’s known to do. Andrade is very talented but extremely boring. Munguia vs GGG has fight of the year candidate written all over it, don’t expect it to go long but will be fun will it lasted.
Tank beat people that were champions, man
Don’t tell me you value Tank’s win over a career 126lbs in Leo than Ryan’s over a legit top 10 lightweight in Campbell? Tank’s best win is Sosa and no way I rank him over Campbell.
Yes he is and probably in February. he has no choice. It was his agreement with the WBC so he must fight him or lose the WBC 168 pound world title he just won.
Doubt the WBC would strip Canelo most likely it would elevate him to franchise Champion if he chooses not to fight him
Pedraza was a two division champion. Luke was a two time title challenger.
My bad meant Pedraza not Sosa. Anyways, still take Campbell to beat Pedraza.
Nah... :lol1:
Tito ain’t having trouble with no Luke Campbell’s.
Yeah both Alberto Cortes and Anthony Stephans are much better fighters than Olympic Gold medalist Luke Campbell both of whom dropped Tito early in his career, 🤫
All the users here were saying that mayweather & schaffer were going to take over boxing and that GB was going to be out of business hahaha bunch of haters in this site lol.
Yup, Schaffer was loyal to the wrong individual in Haymon. Once Al had controlled over all of Golden Boy fighters he had no use for Schaffer anymore. I’m sure uncle Al promised him that Ringstar would be the main promoter for PBC but instead went with Tom Brown Promotions, LOL. You reap what you sew...

Would be cool to see Machado pick up a win here but he probably gets outboxed
Sneaky good fight, IMO...Machado ain’t no bum, dude a former Champ just couldn’t get past Cancio. It’s a good step up fight for Tenajara if kid impresses wouldn’t be surprise to see his name brought up as a future opponent for Haney or Garcia all three being with DAZN
This mofo been gone 4.5yrs. Wow it don't seem like it's been THAT long.
Cool comeback story if he can do it, but this guy never reallllllllly got past the prospect stage so idk if he can hang with legit contenders still or if he has the drive to stick with boxing when things get tough. Odds are he'll quit again I'd imagine if this is real news.
Herring confirmed Frankie’s return to boxing. Don’t see any reason why he would lie about that especially since they known each other from the US Olympic team trials back in the day. Also, a couple of my boys have seen Frankie training around the tire shop he owns in East Los Angeles. As far as talent goes, Frankie holds wins against Adrian Granados and Mauricio Herrera when he was still a legit contender, so the talent is there just the discipline is what needs work.
I saw that too hope it’s true had really high hopes for him till he got caught up!
Yup, Frankie had all the tools to become a top contender @ 140 or 147 lbs. Unfortunately, the hood lifestyle caught up to him. If Frankie does return it might be for the best for him to leave Freddie Roach and join RGBA. Jose Ramirez is Gomez former stablemate @ Wild Card Gym who now trains with Robert Garcia who has the best sparring in the game especially @ 147 w/t Vergil Ortiz, Josesito Lopez, Mikey Garcia, and Jose Ramirez
Who cares... he’s fighting a bum next. Also, doubt he’ll sign w/t any promoter he’ll most likely work as a co promoter w/t which ever platform he’s fighting on
Damn, seems like Ellie Sechback pulled the video. Anyhow, it was Ellie interviewing Tank on FaceTime where he confirmed he be fighting Ryan next. I’m guessing Ellerbe got in contact w/t Ellie and ask him to pull the bid, LOL
Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis this is what you want?? Cause if it is, let the world know it’s about to go down! �� #2rounds— Ryan Garcia (@KingRyanG) January 5, 2021
Cinco De Mayo of 2021? They are taking Canelo's date?
Hell yeah, Screw the Ginger and his cherry picking ways. Garcia Vs. Tank is a mega fight and should be made in Vegas @ Raiders stadium
Ellie been putting in the work.
I like his hussle and back scene vids that fans dont normally get to see.
Yup, can’t hate on Ellie, he’s a bit of a fanboy but his work ethic is unquestionable
