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

[Cinci Champ]

lol lets be honest here haymon was gonna buy that contract out regardless of who oscar was trying to match santa cruz up with i think everyone and their mom knows that even if you hate al haymon. I want to see santa cruz rigo because im a fan of rigo but these attempts by oscar to make al haymon look bad are pathetic not to mention that awhole pr campaign oscar and arum did i want to say over a year ago about how they were gonna end the cold war and all that has also proved to be bs. We got mattyssee provo but provo is not really a top rank fighter he just co promotes its not bobs decision who provo fights. well see i just dont buy that haymon didnt plan to do this anyway

What do you mean? He just tried to make a fight.

He tried to make one fight that he couldnt and gave up. Got rid of fighter when his stable is bare.

Other good fights are out there.

He has a promotional company that needs fights to promote

I see a bad decision but time will tell

Horrible decision by Oscar but oh well

Huh??? De la Hoya tried to make the fight. It's amazing how ppl get on Bob Arum, who's one of the greatest promoters ever in boxing... Somehow Floyd fans give Al Hamon a pass. Smh. Fans want to see classic match ups and Hamon continue to MILK the heck out of these boxers. LSC will fight some cab driver on NBC.

haymon supporters on the loose lol
lsc probably begs haymon to buy him out in exchange for suckig his bumhole and fighting bums

i dont think anyone is supporting haymon i think the whole be on the side of any these promoters or managers just cause u like certain fighters is ridiculous they are all full of ****. its just the truth that haymon was gonna buy out the contract even if santa cruz was matched again joe bob the burger flipper from arizona its just oscar trying to save face

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

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

Oscar doesn't want to carry around this baggage. Dude doesn't want to fight the best. "I want winners.... Can't win with him.... Won't win with him.", - The legendary Mike Singletary.

LSC reached that I badly want to see someone knock his head off. Ifnot Rigo then not him but someone.

"Proud Mexican warrior"... Pathetic, more likely the shame of Mexicans.

well considering all the lying arum has been caught in lately do you blame them? i honestly dont see how anyone takes sides with oscar arum or haymon to be honest with u remember the whole arum oscar pr campaign against haymon hbo was involved with talking about ending the cold war? what happened with that or was that haymons fault as well cause were still waiting for the first mixed card and no guys provo is not really a top rank fighter arum dont make the decisions on who provo fights

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

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.
