Comments Thread For: Espinoza Disappointed With 'Deceitful' Move of Canelo Deal

[elishua F]

I'm thinking Garcia or Khan gets Floyd in May. Thurman who is an actual threat to Floyd will get thrown into the gauntlet and may have to fight Porter, Alexander, Maidana, Brook and so on before he is ever mentioned as an option for Floyd. By then Floyd will retire with his "0" in tact.

Why is Thurman a threat to Floyd. Because he has power? well after two fights with the powerful Maidana he only rocked Floyd one time. I like Thurman's charisma, I see him being an outstanding commentator, but I really want to know why is he being portrayed as a boogeyman.

Showtime belongs to al haymon & his fighters now.

So, basically 90% of relevant boxers, including up and comers?

LOL at him saying Showtime was going to reject Clottey as an opponent. Get outta here son. Garcia/Salka. Enough said.

Good luck to Canelo over at HBO... Cotto, Golovkin, Chavez Jr and Andrade (his last fight was with HBO) are all great opponents.

Garcia/Salka is Haymon's business. Of course Stephen allowed it.

Of course Espinoza says that but he's not surprised. Besides, what did they expect Oscar to do? At a low point in his life, everyone around him was looking out for their own butts. So of course when they try to freeze him out he decides to bounce and run to a shady but familiar devil. At this point, all we fans can do is hope that in the midst of all this drama, we get to see some good fights.

The Espinoza-Schaefer-Haymon triumvirate conspired against De La Hoya, so if HBO puts a similar offer on the able it was obvious which route he would go.

Espinoza publicly said he has been friends with Schaefer for 15 years, and that it was "different" working with De La Hoya.

Besides all that, staying with Showtime would mean Alvarez fighting Haymon opponents, most of whom are movers like the Charlos/Trout or huggers like Smith/Molina, who isn't even allowed in the US.

At HBO, they have potential fights with Cotto (2-3 fights), Kirkland, Golovkin, Chavez Jr., Pacquiao, Clottey, Brook, Martinez etc.

How many times has karma been mentioned in this thread

Glad to see Espinoza so salty. He's talked a ton of **** for the past two years, when anyone with two brain cells to rub together could see he was Haymon's bitch

"We were gonna reject Clottey as an opponent." I didn't know he knew the meaning of that. He should learn how to say that to Haymon

I don't see F**ing Espinoza giving the supreme king of Sh**ty fights (Haymon) a hard time. I'll take Canelo vs Clottey any time over the Bey vs Vazquez, Garcia-Salka, Broner-Molina, Khan-Molina, and on top of them all Gary Russell JR. vs TBA and many many other sh**ty fights that should never ever happened in the first place.

Good for oscar going across The street to hbo and leaving al haymons buuttboy.. at least hbo seams to have some sort of quality control..

This Espinoza guy is ******. Anyone could sense that he's trying to make life difficult for Hoya by initially rejecting Clottey. Of course, Hoya's feelings were hurt considering this same Espinoza approved of the Salsa fight and Santa Cruz's sparring partner. Then there's the issue of Haymon fighters not fighting each other.

Hoya must be sick of having to promote mismatches and crappy fights produced by the clown team Haymon and Espinoza.

^^^^^@ this^^^^^ you Sr. have spoken the truth
