Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Takes Shot at 'Influencer' Fights, Calls For Return to 'Real Boxing'

[nick59]

get real fights made then oscar/other promoters how long have we waited for likes crawford spence, fury aj, etc
personally i dont watch these 'influencer' shows but boxing needs to work together and stop making excuses why top fights are not made

[thack]

Oscar was involved in a couple of growing up easy fights but they were against boxers good or bad , he's right these are circus fights and should be kept out of boxing .If they must happen for the idiots who don't see the difference then let them go on and be called what they are fights from a 'freak league' or 'promoters taking the piss even more' ...that kind of thing and certainly stop them being discussed on boxing site. Oscar is right and was great fighter himself who unfortunately tarnished the sport himself with his behaviour but on this he has got to be right.

Oscar, this is your big chance to save boxing.

It's time to get back in the gym, put in some work, and knock out Jake Paul.

At least influencers will actually fight each other.

Real boxing can't seem to get Spence vs Crawford or Tank vs Garcia made.

... or Beter/Biv or Fulton/MJ or the mess which/was is 126 and now 160 - and why hasn't Jermell/Tzysu happenned earlier - was announced like 7 months before the fight date

In oscars fighting days his undercards were awful,

[Elpatron2]

We can start by goin too
15 champ. Rounds,
fux it no gloves,only handwraps,
PRos vs amauters for gold medals,
How about a new triangle ring without ropes hah,
I dont know i kinda like utubers ko mma bros
(ps. sometimes you got to slap a hoe)

I agree with Oscar, and don't watch these social media "influencer" fights, but let them have those events.

Just choose not to watch, or watch, it's a different niche, a celebrity boxing thing I guess.

More pressing news, today 16 January 2023 is the deadline, Oscar said, if no contract, Tank vs Ryan ain't happening.

The only promoters that have a problem with influencers boxing are the ones that aren’t making money off it. DLH has a long history of hating on events he’s not part of.

[Nightfall]

Says the guy that continues to block his fighters from tough fights

[GlassJoey]

He probably called out Logan Paul after this
