Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya Pitches '5 vs 5' Golden Boy vs. Top Rank Show

[Greenfield02]

TR matches their fighter in “dangerous situations” much much more often than GBP does, not even close.

Oh yeah, give me some examples? Or I should say examples of matching up against non in house fighters.

This would be great but the saudis seems to prefer working with UK based promoters rather than US. US will still have the better talent, but In a few years the big fights will take place in the Middle East and UK rather than Vegas. The Mecca of boxing is slowly changing before our eyes.

This post bears remembering.

Ortiz Jr. vs. Zayas, Schofield vs. Keyshawn Davis, Zepeda vs. Muratalla, Munguia vs. Mbili, and top it all off with KingRy vs. Teofimo Lopez! I’d gladly pay $80 for that! I won’t hold my breath!

Solid card. Just no Ryan.

Golden Boy has a deep roster? Since when?

Did Golden Boy buy "Boxing Scene," too? LOL.

Neat matchmaking right here. Too bad uncle Bob wouldn't allow it so not holding any breath either.

Entertaining to watch these promoters ********** themselves for a chance at that Saudi money. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy evenly matched, cross promotional fights but it's enlightening to see all the previously claimed hurdles to these fights instantly disappear when Saudi money is at play.

To be fair it's money that's the main hurdle for many big fights.

Overstood! However, I’m being realistic! Ryan will fight again this year! I just want the WBC to make the fight a NC, and it troubles me that it hasn’t been fine already! That tells me what time we’re on! SMH

Bob doesn’t call out GBP, as much as GBP calls out TR! If Bob calls out, he’s looking for a deal. Oscar just does it for the media!

To be fair it's money that's the main hurdle for many big fights.

Money is the root cause and brings forth squabbling over various issues (e.g. broadcast rights, etc) and petty pride issues (gloves, who walks out first, etc). Heads of promotional banners scoffing at the idea of their fighters "crossing the street" while keeping things in house just bto keep the profit in house. All of this this squabbling and pettiness disappears as they get on bended knee, hold their hands out and beg for the Saudi money.
