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

[HEND]

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.

Do you know something what we don't?

And what I don't understand, if Haymon has so much money and he wants to play monopoly, then why the fuck he doesn't sign the likes of Rigo, Crawford or Golovkin instead of joking around wit thelikes of LSC, Broner or Quillin. Does he really think that those guys have star potential or why he protects them so badly?
Throw away the LSC's of the world and sign the Rigos, Crawfords, Golovkins of the world... That's it.

Hes no longer a fighter. Boxing isnt a "team" sport. Hes on the business side now. I see bad decision but like i said time will tell

lol it sure as hell seems like it these days with the way everyone picks sides in promoters, networks, managers lol

DLH didnt execute the buyout clause. He didn't get rid of Santa Cruz. Haymon executed the clause and got LSC out of his Golden Boy contract.

So oscar had no choice? Got bullied?

Then hes in bigger trouble than i thought

I remember when I used to like him.... and he's confused why people criticize him.

Oscar made bad decisions years ago. That's why he has no stable now. He didn't even get bullied. Smarter men ran his company and plucked the fighters they wanted long before Oscar could even see it coming.

He wanted to party instead and couldnt handle it.

Like the guy and fighter but no sympathy from me

Hope he makes comeback but i dont see this as good decision

We will see

On it's face this doesn't sound good but Haymon can make the Rigo fight without Oscar. Rigos not committed to any network so he can follow Santa Cruz wherever he goes. But anything less than a Mares fight is going to look like a duck of Rigo.

LSC is such a nice young man and I so want to like him and support him... But this is indefensible. Every bit as bad as Stevenson's ducking of Kovalev.

I mean, I can totally understand why he's loyal to Haymon who has done all kinds of great things for him... But at this point he's literally running scared from Rigo.

Rigo should try his luck with the British guys, maybe they have some pride and he can shame one of them into fighting him. If not, then move up to FW.

That's the thing though. Oscar really didn't make any decision here. It was out of his control.
