Comments Thread For: Tensions Blow Between De La Hoya and Canelo at Press Conference

[Phase III]

In fairness to Oscar, he built Canelo to be the superstar that he once was. Canelo, on the other hand is now tarnishing his legacy by taking the easiest fights to build his retirement income. Not fighting Benevidez shows Canelo doesn’t want the smoke anymore. That also is Canelo’s right. As fans we don’t need to pay to watch his fights. In fact, there is another option, catch the streamed signal for free if you want instead of paying ridiculous money for these boring fights. Or, you can choose the not watch at all. Each side has the option to get what they want. That’s called choice.

I understand that part, but **** happens. Oscar had some personal demons that he had to take care of leading up to that fight week. I’m sure Canelo would’ve wanted him to be there for the biggest fight of his career, but on the flip side, Canelo’s main priority was to take care business INSIDE the ring whether Oscar was ringside or not, and he came up short. Canelo is just salty about both of his losses and will throw anyone under the bus to make himself look good. Damn, I feel like crap defending Oscar like this, but Canelo is arguably a bigger diva than Oscar and Floyd ever was when they were at the top.

I call bs on the diva crap . Alvarez always working just like May.And btw maybe May ‘s diva ways got him stuck in Dubai ,lol

We should never forget that Canelo is a drug cheat. Oscar used drugs to personally get high. He did damage to himself. Canelo used drugs to get an unfair advantage over his opponents, and in the process, put another fighters life at risk. For all of Oscars indiscretions, he was clean in the ring and took every challenge and ducked nobody. I’d take Oscar over a boxing drug cheat like Canelo any day.

Lmbao.....You really think Oscar's little girly voice would have helped Canelo that night? Hell no.

Oscar's job was to land Canelo the biggest fight and payday of his life and promote that fight. He did that.

It's up to Canelo and his team to go out there and win the fight. They're the ones responsible for getting him prepared mentally and physically the best they can. Not Oscar.

Are you confused mate? You keep referencing his "team", what do you think his promoter his? Literally one of the main components of his team.

You keep bringing up the fight, it's irrelevant. It's the biggest fight of your life, your promoter, the person you're paying to be there, is too busy on a ******* bender to be around.

It's not rocket science as to why there's no love loss from Canelo's side.

Yeah exactly, shit happens, and when it happens, they have effects that you have to be accountable for.

What's Canelo supposed to do? Be happy about it? He has every reason not to be.

This was great...Oscar told no lies. Ginger out here all lloròn

Oscar stoking the fires. I actually don't think Canelo knew of trace amounts of clenbuterol, but there are different opinions.

In all of this bad blood, Munguia is in the background, hardly mentioned. Not a good thing.

Oscar's a promoter. He doesn't have to wait hand and foot and Canelo and be his rock for mental support. That's what Canelo's team is for. The promoter's job is to land him the fight and get him the biggest payday he can. Oscar did that. Canelo and his team are responsible for everything else.

Yes, his promoter. One of the main parts of his team. You keep saying team, team, team. What do you think a promoter is?

He is being paid by Canelo to be his promoter, which comes with a plethora of responsibilities. One of which is refraining from doing so much ******* that you go M.I.A for the week of the biggest fight of your life.

You can tap dance around that fact for some weird reason all you like it doesn't change the fact it means Canelo has zero reason to have any kind of respect or positive feelings toward Oscar.

Yet how many people out that camp were suspended prior and after but “he didn’t know?” I’ll bet ten grand right now that all them lesser fighters were the guinea pigs.

I think the confusion may be on your side. Oscar at that point in Canelos career was not part of Canelos team. Canelo in fact was part of team Golden Boy. Canelo actually worked for Oscar....and it was Oscar who got Canelo paid....not the other way around. The promoter organises the deal....Canelo gets paid....and then Canelo...out of his payment...pays his trainers, cutmen and other members of his team. The ones who are actually sourced to have him physically and mentally ready to fight. You must understand that. Dazn paid Canelo for promotional rights....Canelo didn't pay them. PBC paid Canelo for promotional rights. Do you see how that works? Canelo is a sub contractor who gets paid to do a job....just like the guy who built my house. He brings in brickies, chippies and sparkies that im not responsible for. If my house falls down...thats on the builder and his team...and ultimately they must be held accountable for that.
