    Fans and boxers should be giving them props for what they did. Oscar put boxing back on the map when he was the man in boxing and made sure he was paid every time he fought. Floyd did the same thing after he left Arum. Why should promoters make more money than boxers when boxers are the guys risking their lives in the ring?

    How can you criticize a boxer for making the most money he can make? All the old school boxers made pocket change compare to what Floyd and DLH made in their careers.

    DLH and Floyd showed everyone how you should take care of your own business and be your own boss.
    So you would be quite happy to pay $60 to watch Floyd fight Matthew Hatton Or Pauli Malignaggi rather than Pacman or Cotto? Fcuking idiot

      DLH must have made this comment after losing a close snoozefest to Floyd and before getting ****d by Paq.

          Oscar were big money fights but at the same time fights that fans wanted to see like Mosley,Trinidad, Vargas etc.

These guys won't even fight the best out there. Thoughts anyone?
              here's the difference between dlh and floyd.

              dlh fought almost everyone worth fighting.

              floyd has ducked almost everyone worth fighting.

                That is exactly how i see it. Ok Oscar was all money and business, but at least he actually fought the best guys out there. I mentioned that to start with.

                  Floyd wants to make his money fighting *******, at least Oscar had the balls to fight the best out there. Mayweather and his fans suck **** big time.

                      I completely agree.

                      Divaism needs to be completely eliminated in boxing.

                      Floyd needs to retire for good before making a complete effing mess. I'll agree that he's a great salesman. He can sell fights regardless of quality.
