This should of been in Miami. A bunch of Argentinians and Russians in South Florida.

The drought of mega fights in Miami continues

eh... i know the feels, no fights ever hit Chi-town, at least no big fights

Fight should be sick , surprised by the venue seems minor league for a fight of this caliber but $75 for ringside that's a screaming deal.

$75 bucks to see this fight is a ****ing steal, I'm jealous of those that will get the chance to see it live.

I don't understand the venue choice, but thank goodness this fight is actually happening.

I could never figure that one out.

Chi-town is a tough, hard nosed, blue collar city.

Should be a natural match.

StubHub is owned by AEG, former partners in Golden Promotions who walked away from the company in lieu of how Oscar did Schaefer dirty. You reap what you sow.

What the ****, Schaefer was the one who was trying to take over his company from under him and allowing fighters to be signed by Al Haymon rather than GBP. If this was MMA, the media would have a field day with what transpired...the Boxing media hardly reported on the shadiness of what actually went down.

DLH should be applauded for what he did. Sickening stuff man...

I almost feel like paying/donating more just on GP ... This fight is a godsend.

Richard Schaefer was the reason why there was even a Golden Boy Promotions for Oscar to come back to; in case you forgot, Oscar was so on his own cloud that he spent the biggest moment for his company (Mayweather-Alvarez) in a rehab facility coming down from a bender. No one trusted Oscar to handle leading the business.

"The Golden Boy" was the masthead of the company, put out front to smile and wink at the ladies, while Schaefer and the rest of the team actually did the work.

Everyone walked away from Oscar when he "took back control"; Schaefer left, the financial folks left, Oscar lost his relationship with AEG, he no longer has the relationship with Espinoza/Showtime, and he's teetering on the edge of losing the FS1 deal that Schaefer put together.

If this was MMA, everyone would wonder how the sport let a recovering addict be placed into such a prominent position for so long. applauded, my foot.
