Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Not Worried Over Schaefer/Mayweather Pact

[BOXEO _]

Oscar won Gold in the Olympics, had a platinum record in the music business, a championship pro career where he faced the best, and the top promotional outfit of all time. Floyd flopped for the Bronze, PHailed with his ridiculous Philthy Rich Records, is hated for ducking in the pros and has a promotional company that couldn't sell toilet paper to a shart victim. Golden Boy Promotions forever. Bronze Boy Promotions NEVER.

funny and true

Oscar's playing a dangerous game with Arum. Maybe he's sobered up, or maybe he just forgot who he's dealing with:

Bob Arum and Oscar De La Hoya made a ton of money during their eight years together (1992-2000).

But once De La Hoya, the former Olympic gold medalist and world champion in six different weight classes, mounted a successful lawsuit against Arum a decade ago to start his own Golden Boy Promotions, their relationship turned toxic.

“A dummy,” Arum called De La Hoya during a visit to Fort Lauderdale this week to promote the March 12 title bout between Miguel Cotto and Ricardo Mayorga.

Now, it seems De La Hoya’s business relationship with Floyd Mayweather Jr. has a lot to do with why the boxing world has yet to see him match up with Manny Pacquiao, Arum’s top client and a champion at eight different weight classes.

It also has led to a series of critical Twitter missives from De La Hoya toward Arum, the Top Rank, Inc., chairman. In one of them, issued in December, De La Hoya cites “all these dinosaurs” and says Arum “is 90 years old.”

This week in Fort Lauderdale, Arum fired back at his former protege.

“They’ve got no background in boxing,” Arum, actually 79, said Tuesday of the HBO matchmakers Golden Boy Promotions advises. “They rely on Oscar, who’s a dummy. Oscar is one of the ******est guys I’ve ever met. I’m just saying what it is. The guy is really not smart. Forget just ‘not smart.’ He’s not just even average.

“I remember when we were bringing him up, we’d have to write the whole script for him. Then you give him the script and he’s great, as long as you keep him on the script. To have an original thought in his head …”

Rofl. Meanwhile arum is comparing Floyd to hitler. Oscar is a dummy

Nothing more needs to be said.

Top promotional outfit? Are you referring to the fishnet outfit? Was that promotional? I'm lost?

[Talisayen]

I like ODLH is saying, putting the fans first before anything else.

If he is really serious about his goal I see him as the savior of the sport.

Btw, I keep reading this 'Floyd hate by' suggestions. Floyd hated by who other than those suggesting it. Being the highest paid athlete wearing a golden 'O' with the highest PPV numbers out the suggests to me otherwise?

Shaefer is not some miracle worker. He had Oscar's name to help build that company and he was the biggest star in the sport at the time.
Good luck trying to get sponsers to sign on to be associated with a racist woman beater that is prone to controversy. Numbers guys like Shaefer are a dime a dozen, it was Oscars name that built that company and why GBP will be fine long after Floyd has moved on.
