Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Davis-Garcia Fight Was In Trouble; Proud To Say Golden Boy Revived It

[Blond Beast]

Oscar talks a lot of sh**, but I will believe him on this one because the information about the contract that has come out, Ryan was the one who gave in to all the demands.

You have to respect how many big fights Oscar had during his career. It seems he wasn’t hard to make a fight with. Course he was such a big star he always got paid… but he needed opponents and they all ( most ) made career highs to fight him.
I agree that it from what has been “reported” he has right to get this point across.

NEW YORK - Oscar De La Hoya applauded Ryan Garcia's unwavering willingness to fight Gervonta Davis during their recent press tour. "The Golden Boy," whose company promotes Garcia, gave himself and his team a proverbial pat on the back, too, for ensuring that the deal was finalized for the highest-profile fight on the boxing calendar. De La Hoya didn't provide

The only reason they could revive it was cause Garcia was WILLING TO FUUUK HIMSELF.

This clown didn’t revive nothing and once Garcia gets exposed de la Hoya will go back to blaming everybody else for his incompetence

He says he wants to work with all promoters, but Munguia swerved Andrade and Janibek, plus he recently took shots at Eddie Hearn regarding Canelo's opponents! That's just Oscar being Oscar!

...and Garcia swerved Haney after winning the interim title. It appears like all GBP did was acquiesce to PBC's demands because Garcia can't be bothered to fight anyone else.

We thank you for your service Oscar, one hell of a man making sure we get a great fight for definite. He continues to put on some good events regardless of any personal issues he's experienced I can't hate on the man.

He never ducked anyone and in his prime he was formidable against anyone at the weight from any era. His left hook was a weapon he had fast twitch muscle and a certain spitefulness at times really separated him from others in close fights. I miss watching him same as a few others like mosley and Trinidad both great former boxers in there own rights.

revived it lol, u got a terrible deal for your guy, well about as good a deal as u got for the pac fight, i hope at least the money is good in both cases

True,but with all the stipulations favoring Tank, it was probably the only deal that Tank/PBC were going to accept. Everything agreed upon indicates Ryan was true to his desire to face Tank regardless of the handicaps and they conceded to get it done. That belief in himself,and obviously his talent,is why I'm certain Ryan pulls off what most believe to be an upset but in reality, Ryan is the better talent.

Ask Oscar how eager he is to work with Eddie Hearn? Lol!

Like he did for Bivol Ramirez?

[El_Mero]

Good sh.it DLH. Everyone can speculate, hate, etc, but hes helped get it done and his fighter wanted it. Isnt that what a promoter is supposed to do?

When Haymon + Oscar work together, they can make some great fights. I like it because Oscar can be the face, the promoter, the spokesman that PBC doesn't have. He'll take his shots at PBC but he's selling the fight. PBC doesn't have that front man, I always thought they lacked focus/vision because they don't really have that guy, certainly not one like Oscar.

PBC has a frontman his name is AL Haymon and he doesn't have to be all in front if the camera. He gets stuff behind it
