An every once & a while promoter vs promoter full event duel would be a dope thing to see.

Oscar needs to just do what is "doable!" Ryan Garcia vs. Prograis vs. Haney winner! Munguia vs. Belanga, and Zepeda vs. Schofield! That's a great card, and IT CAN BE DONE!!!

Preach it!!

Based on the fact that he destroys boxers' careers. How? Making them old, not getting them good fights, keeping them waiting, etc.
If a boxer gets upset with him, he does not get him any fights. He makes contracts for ten years.
You mentioned Crawford only. That is ONE. Do you know how many boxers he has had? And how many of those boxers have not made even a "five figures" salary?

Bro, you seriously don’t know wtf you are talking about. You’ve started out calling the man a racist ****, then just flat out racist and now it’s about fighters being mad and not making money. I’ll give you 5 to 1 odds that Arum has had less fighters end up broke than any promoter in the sport. Let that sink in this man has been in the sport over 50 years. Retired former athletes from top rank still get checks from Arum when he signs licensing deals for his content. Name one other promoter that even does that. ZERO. Matter of fact the confounded of Top Rank was a black man, didn’t know that did you?!? Didn’t know Arum took care of Jim Brown financially practically the rest of his life simply because they worked once and then Jim fell on hard times, why? Because Jim Brown helped open the doors for him into the sport. He took care of Haglers family too. I could sit here and list many legendary fighters families who have also been helped by Arum out of his own pocket but it won’t matter. You want to sit up here and hate on a man you don’t know jack shhhh about and it makes you come off as bitter and ****** af.

A pile of sht ideal. He knows good and dam well that its impossible. He just wants to say this so it could like like he's trying to make great fights. his sorry ass company is lacking and what better thing to do for boxing attention than this type of headline

Exactly, people are naive to believe anything fishnets says. It just sounds too good to be true.

That would be a great card for boxing fans. I’d love to see it.

Sure, sounds great, Oscar! You could charge $400 for PPV, and front row seats at the event can start at $100K!

Yeah..... you hit this one. This kind of card is impossible to make because of the amount of pay-outs it would take. In Oscar's defense, he was just spitballing names to get people interested.

But I believe his point is valid, and one if taken in a vacuum no real boxing fan would argue. We have the politics of the worthless sanctioning organizations, sucking fees from the boxers for the privilege of their titles and providing exceptions and restrictions to protect their bigger money makers. You have different networks and streaming options, trying to angle their bigger draws and names to fights which will keep them winning and draws for their views. Then you have these promoters all trying to build up the names of their young stars and their protect the promotions big names. It is not "why don't we get bigger fights?". It is more like "How do we get big fights at all?" Throw in the competition from a mostly well run UFC and real life politics interfering, and boxing has a serious set of problems to navigate.

If these promoters could actually all just say "what the hell, let's try this" and even just do it on a smaller scale with a bunch of young guns on the undercard and one big fight to drive the headlines, it would be a massive step forward. I would buy it just to encourage them.

" How about we put together " ODLH.

Fury vs Usyk
Canelo vs Benavidez
Tank vs Shakur
Beterbiev vs Bivol

so no GB fighters.

All
these idiotic comments not from Oscar, but from the casual fans that don’t schit about boxing! Who the fk wouldn’t want to see an event like the one proposed by Oscar. In the hey day of the 80’s King promoted a card in Mexico city with multiple champions, the same card. Chavez, Trinidad, Norris. But all of these young bloods don’t remember this cause they are young and ignorant about the sport! I bet most of these comments come from YouTubers that believe the Pauls are real boxers! Pathetic mofos! Who gives a fk who goes first or last in a fight. With a card like this the arena will be full since the first opener. Guarantee!
