Good on Oscar for pinpointing the WBC’s crap over Canelo and stating that they don’t control his fighter
Promoters should be calling out the orgs every fughin day for bullchit they’re used to getting away with

Oscar said the WBC has made Benny wait months, more like years!

Mauricio has fangs. Only good for blood sucking. Canelo tells him what to do.

[JeBron Lamez]

Errrrrrrm, surely 'Coke Pack Thursday'...?

Maybe even 'Brokeback Thursday'...?

Nah, do your thing Oscar I'm just trolling

Hey WBC where is the ordered for clenelo and Benavidez ? Then a purse bid

Anyone who's cheering for DLH's rebellious behavior should think more critically. It's not like DLH hasn't benefitted from the WBC's actions before. Do people forget that GBP was once in the Canelo business? Canelo has been getting away with stuff for years. DLH trying to draw a parallel between Canelo/Benavidez and Shakur/Zepeda is hilarious. This is a veiled attempt by DLH to avoid any backlash for not wanting to match Zepeda against Shakur, and being angry that the WBC isn't going along with his plan.

Great post! One day ODLH says, “We need to make the best fights, promoters need to work together!” Next day, “If Shakur doesn’t sign to GBP, he’s not getting Zepeda!” That’s very hypocritical!

Just talking out and about to confront the WBC is still a positive in my book
I know where your going but I don’t see anyone else doing the same
And yea I understand all promoters are fughin douchebags deep down inside

If DLH still promoted Canelo, we both know he wouldn't be saying any of this. DLH may have a point, but he's also being manipulative. WBC should be ordering Shakur/Zepeda AND Canelo/Benavidez. But these two situations have no connection. DLH doesn't mind that Canelo gets preferential treatment; he's just mad that Zepeda isn't. DLH wants Zepeda to be allowed to sit on his ranking, while Shakur is forced to wait until GBP decides what they want to do. DLH is saying that he's in a powerful position, yet he's behaving like a victim. If Zepeda has all of these options, then stop complaining and go after another titlist.
