Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Santa Cruz Buyout: They Didn't Want Rigo

[daggum]

matthysse leaves haymon and immediately gets a big fight. santa cruz stays with haymon and is still on the bum parade. stevenson...bum parade, chavez jr turns down 7 million to fight fonarra, peterson-garcia a 10 rounder at 143...

Dude what's so hard to understand?? Lsc had a contractual clause with golden boy that let him buy out his contract his team decided to buy out his contract that they legally had a right to? I don't think you understand whats going on here when using terms like "bullied"Oscar wasn't bullied he started to negotiate a fight lsc was advised not to take and bought his contract out.

stop trying to explain such complicated issues to fl0wmos, is like trying to explain quantum mechanics to 2nd grader. all they know is Floyd makes millions so he must be better than Joe Lewis, Leonard, Haggler etc.

What you get from Haymon are crumbs, even if more meaningful fights are available in his arsenal. He would have made Matthysse vs Broner easily if he wanted to. But Broner has to be protected at all costs... He probably sees Santa Cruz as the next Pacman, thus rewarding him with astronomical sums fighting sparring partners just to keep him like a treasured possession.

Oscar's attempts to sabotage Haymon will fail. Santa Cruz is now free to fight Mares, Gonzalez, and (soon) Walters.

De La Hoya will be back to wearing drag, snorting coke, and showing *****s up his ass in no time.

Stay classy there... obvious Haymon employee.

LSC v mares, walters, gonzales, and others will be fine with me

Sucks Rigo is stuck in "wardland" but it is what it is

You should check around. Rigo is making 1/2 mil per bout now regularly fighting overseas.

Haha...

On a serious note, Haymon should make Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz now that Oscar is out of the picture. Rigondeaux holds the crown at JFW, so that should be the only fight every guy at JFW is gunning for.

Hahaha id like to thank al haymon

Sr ODLH putting the best fights together does not mean kirkland/canelo! No mames oscar! Lemiuex/canelo sept 16 wknd would be huge! Nobody beats that PPV! U said it fights want the best fights! Move on...

This is what I was going to say, now that Oscar is not in the picture why doesn't Santa Cruz fight Rigo? More money for both fighters not having to cut the promoter a cheque and he is still a free agent win or lose who would be in control of his career.
