GBP is failing under Oscar

Listen:? Richard Schaefer made GBP and ran GBP as a successful business in boxing. Firing Schaefer would be like throwing the Pilot out of a flying 747 jumbo jet at 20,000 feet in flight with no one to land the jet. Oscar isn't a business man as no mex is a business man outside of selling fruit or selling drugs or cutting grass or cleaning hotel rooms. Oscar is running GBP into the ground. Schaefer was the brains and Oscar was just the pretty face. GBP won't make it with haymon trying to destroy Oscar and GBP. Scheafer is laughing at the mex Oscar.

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya (39-6-30KOs) is not surprised that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is interested in a rematch.

Last week, De La Hoya revealed that he's strongly considered the possibility of a comeback. The former five division world champion, 42-years-old, retired after suffering a TKO defeat to Manny Pacquiao in 2008.

DLH is right. Floyd would make the most money with DLH. Floyd is a heavy favorite against everyone else at 147 and no cares to see it.

DLH is right on. Floyd wants the easy out as usual. Why not fight someone where he is not a favorite. He may have to go up in weight so be it.

"no mex is a business man outside of selling fruit or selling drugs or cutting grass or cleaning hotel rooms."

sounds to me like somebody needs to go shoe shopping or something.
****** ****.

Oscar should ask Frank Maloney; maybe he has a "solution" for him.

Only thing Oscar is fighting is addiction.

golden boy on that rock again.... sad shiet...

the pressure is finally making Oscar go bat****

Oscar has one fight who is PPV-level (Canelo Alvarez, who seems to actually have a partnership deal with Golden Boy through his own company, Canelo Promotions; with the All Star Boxing lawsuit finally coming due, Oscar may only have Cotto-Canelo before he loses out on Alvarez), another fighter who is a local draw (David Lemieux in Montreal), and then a slew of prospects who are easily 2-3 yeas away from being anything.

With the Fox Sports 1 deal ending, and his company left with competing with 5 other promotional outfits for the 15-20 dates available on HBO, Oscar De La Hoya was willing to put his own body on the line to offer a lifeline to his company (Oscar honestly can't go a hard 8 rounds if we're being honest [42-year old fighter, with a 16-year pro career, coming off of a quite public drug addiction], but Oscar would gladly trade one final beating to guarantee his company a 9-TV date deal).

Floyd is going to walk away with at least $30m from Showtime for the PPV fight, regardless of who steps in against him, in addition to whatever revenue he's going to end up getting from staging his "retirement fight" at the MGM Grand.

Oscar De La Hoya has the Haymon settlement money, Canelo-Cotto (if they don't get so far over their skis that Cotto just says "**** this ****, I'm fighting a showcase fight in Puerto Rico"), and then he's left with having fight cards on HBO Latino, hoping beyond hope that Joseph "JoJo" Diaz Jr can emerge as a star within the next two years.

Yeah it just dawned on Oscar that he's only getting 30%.

[Scipio2009]

May needs more then Oscar the ****** jacka$$ is going to broke as soon as he retires, in fact may so call promotion company is losing money and going down hill, mayweather stays broke no matter how much money he makes, it boggles the mind how someone can make so much money and still be broke.

lol

-How in the heck is Floyd Mayweather Jr going to spend all of the ~$150m that he's picked up on the Pacquiao fight (Floyd's guess at the payday, minus fight expenses, minus taxes), let alone the ~$200m that he already has sitting in the bank, in cash no less?

Even by some miracle that were to happen, Floyd still easily has another $100m in hard assets on hand (homes in Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami, real estate holdings in other parts of the country, easily $25m in luxury cars spread across the country, his ***elry collection, etc).

Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions is literally in a position where it might not see three more summers (After the Canelo-Cotto fight, with the path already laid forward by Mayweather, Cotto, Chavez Jr and Oscar himself, what incentive is there really for Canelo to lock himself into a deal with Golden Boy Promotions, as he'd have his own company that's been promoting its own shows in Mexico since his name started to shine, HBO is clearly interested in having his fights (and not really Golden Boy fights), and he'd establish his own relationships with several Texas venues and the MGM properties in Las Vegas?)

should sharpen those trolls a bit.
