Comments Thread For: UFC's White on De La Hoya's Return: This Sh-t is Getting Silly!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As expected, UFC President Dana White is not in favor of Oscar De La Hoya's planned comeback. De La Hoya, 48-years-old, has been out of the ring since 2008 - when he was battered and stopped by Manny Pacquiao. Last week, during a press conference for the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren pay-per-view, the six division world champion announced his return to ring.

Oscar De La Hoya vs Dana White on PPV lets gooooooooooooooooo

Agree with Dana on this, I sort of give Tyson & RJJ a pass just for the spectacle of it, but no more please.

For the love of god just make the fights people want to see, boxers should be fighting more, don't worry about protecting your zero so much, corrupt alphabet sanction bodies just making things up as they go, networks more concerned about their little kingdoms then promoting the sport and we end up with 20+ year past their prime fighters and youtubers generating more interest then the best fighters.

All the while the UFC just laughs, with one sanctioning body, under paying the fighters, making the fights people want to see, every month on queue.

While boxing just keeps shooting itself in the foot over and over, I'll keep supporting the sport, but I can't think of a better example of a tragedy of the commons than boxing.

Guys like Jake Paul gotta fight real pro boxers that would damn near kill him. Only then would this garbage finally end. But I don't want him to die of course. Just sayin that these youtubers need to get their asses kicked to kingdom come by real fighters. It would put an end to all of this

Hes not wrong. This freak show **** with none boxers and old boxers is snowballing into serious excess now.

“This **** is getting silly” says the man who helped start it with mayweather v mcgregor ..

White is not a retired aging championship fighter, he has no right to denounce these older fighters if they want to compete again, to fight flows through their veins its very hard for them to lose the urge, so if they want to have a go wish them well and leave it at that, nobody is forcing anyone to buy or watch them .

I'm all for it, if De La Hoya and other greats of the past fight real prize fights, not exhibitions.

Notice he kept that **** away from the UFC though.
