    De La Hoya is greedy

    For 5th May, De La Hoya asked Kassim Ouma to fight on the undercard for $50,000. Considering De La Hoya is making millions.

    Also Ouma made $800,000 against Taylor and Golden Boy took $150,000 just for some adminstrative charges, leaving Ouma with $650,000.

      Ouma said it himself in a interview, his not happy with GBP. Maybe he should look for a new promoter.

        it's very little for a fighter but i have to keep in mind that it's all about ppv and what fighter sells, 50k is not bad for quick cash on an undercard not even a main event.........and he can't pay every fighter what they are not worth.....and it's not dlh is GBP overall, but i got to say it is a small portion

          How does that make DLH greedy? $500,000 would be chump change for him. Maybe Ouma needs the cash. Besides, who's he fighting? How much is he getting? Will Ouma be televised? If not, he doesn't deserve anything from the PPV, just a cut of the live gate. Boxing is a cutthroat game at every level, the fighters, promoters, commissions, alphabet organizations, etc. Anyway, I doubt anyone is holding a gun to Ouma's head.....

            Its not $500,000. It is $50,000.

            Compare that with De La Hoya's $20 million with ppv.

              Is this new knowledge to everybody? Anyone who couldn't see that DLH was a greedy, ****** piece of trash a long time ago needs to snap out of their dream world. This guy has been ****ing people over for years because he can. Thats why when he started promoting and said "we're going to take care of the fighters" I had to laugh. Is it any surprise that he's done exactly the opposite?

                    Whats wrong with being greedy? Boxing business is ****ing rough, everyone looks out for themselves.

                    If DLH can get $20 mil he's doing something right.

                    If it Aint DLH, then its gonna be someone else, so what does it matter.
