    I love the guy now for real. Respect the hell out of him. Lemieux is his newest investment in his smaller stable, which he is trying to rebuild after Al stole all those fighters from him...... and he is risking him against GGG for us fans. Now I'm hopeful that Golovkin-Canelo with happen. Oscar is a great guy. I will make it a point to support everything Golden Boy and Oscar is associated with.

      People love ****ting on Oscar & with the addict & crossdressing episodes ("I am Caitlyn De La Hoya") he's an easy mark, but he's always come across as a guy who likes to make good fights. And looking back on his career he had a bunch of good fights or compelling matchups too so it makes sense he's been that way as a promoter to his own fighters.

          Oscar was big time against that fight what are you talking about. Canelo pressured him to make the Lara fight. Oscar was saying nah up til fight time I think & **** personally I thought Lara shoulda won so he was right lol.

          I didn't follow the Lemieux vs GGG stuff early on so idr what he said or intended there, but it doesn't sound like he was very opposed to it from what I've read today.

              Spot on. He's the best promoter currently producing fights we actually want to see.

Can't say the same with these other promoters out there. He really does care about the fans and wants to make the best fights out there. Thanks Oscar.
                He's doing what promoters are suppose to do but hesitant to do it. Props for sure to Oscar.

                Maybe if Haymon ran his PBC promotions like this he'd have way better TV ratings.

                    And why is it Haymons PBC Promotions never wants to collaborate with others promoters, like Oscar does and pit his best vs the others best?
