Comments Thread For: Golden Boy President Wants To Eliminate All Competition

[Jerbo33]

There already is a single entity running the sport

And it's called HBO. The problem is, they don't understand fully how to wield that power. HBO possesses the most dedicated single boxing fan base in the world - their subscribers. These subscribers are more important than any fighter or any promoter.
I agree with most of the ideas De La Hoya brings up, and so do most of us. The problem is it shouldn't be Golden Boy enforcing these standards, it should be HBO. By giving the power to the distributor, you force the promoters to compete with each other to offer the best fights for HBO to buy.
It doesn't seem like HBO is willing to step up to the plate though - I mean, why is Golden Boy streaming live club fights and HBO isn't? Maybe Golden Boy will emerge as the sole power in boxing.

If people get past its a guy they dont like saying it you'd realize its a pretty sound concept.

i agree...........

Says it all with monthly PPV.

Less commissions and promoters yes ok, but NO competition whatsover is certainly most of the time not good for the customer.

It's not good that Oscar effectively admits to wanting to monopolise.

LMAO! Greed at it's finest.

what a ****** idea, so just like the UFC boxers will be under paid while the promoter will enrich himself.

['Sugar' Freddi]

This would definitely help boxing. There wouldn't be as much confusion and I believe it would help boxing to be on main stream again. Think about it, getting TV dates and all like UFC, boxers would become all celebs.

I hope he buys all other promotional companies and we have one big company running everything.

During a lengthy interview with Broadcasting Cable, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya discussed the future of boxing and the necessary direction to fix the ongoing problems in the sport. In the opinion of De La Hoya, the sport of boxing has to be run like any other sport. There needs to be one promoter calling the shots and making the cards, and De La Hoya says that entity needs to be Golden Boy.

I NOMINATE MYSELF!!! hahaha...wut a greedy moron!!! delahoya hasnt done squat to earn anything type of commision off of pacquiao's fights, all he's done was accuse and defame pac of PED use...then he wants money in return on top of not doing anything? what a scu.mba.g two face!!! and now he nominates himself to be da lone promoting entity in the sports of boxing!!!

hey delahoya, if you want boxing to be like the nfl or nba...you mean there should be one commisioner over looking all the promoters and match making...you're clueless as to what you are saying. the promotors would be considered the team owners you dum.my!!!

and you cannot be self annointed as the commisioner...if their should be a pro boxing commisioner, it should be MICHAEL BUFFER!!!

EVERYTHING delahoya is/has been saying have been moronic and greedy, contridicting and su****ious, ludicrious and ******ed, etc...
