De La Hoya ruined boxing

[Ronson]

In my opinion Oscar ruined boxing because it was all business and money to him first. He retired and Floyd Mayweather does the same stuff. Now we have people like Tim Bradley and Amir Khan following that same route. Money counts to these greedy bastards and nothing else. What happened to wanting to unify a division, or to prove you are the best by fighting the best? That is why Oscar De La Hoya ruined boxing. Greedy bastards that don't give a **** about boxing fans.

This is you one and only good post. You should make more threads like this. Instead of the other crap that you have done.

But, to be fair you can go as back as SRR for guys who were about money, diva in negotiations. You can even go further than that if you really wanted.

boxing is a buisness..its all about money when you get done with it..when you clock in to work you clock in for money

I disagree. More fighters should be like Cotto and Martinez, willing to fight anyone around their weight class.

If I had the same boxing abilities as De La Hoya (good, but not amazing), and ended up being one of the richest sports stars of all time, I'd be very satisfied.

Why should we give a **** about them? They don't give a **** about us.

I prefer fighters be more like Whitaker(without the coke problem), Holyfield(without the PED issue), Felix Trinidad.

Edit: I agree with Wesley.

Yeah yeah yeah, you say that **** all the time. But they're in business primarily because of paying fans. Perhaps they should remember that from time to time, whilst cashing their oh-so hefty cheques. :nod1:
