Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Eager To Back a Ronda Rousey Boxing Run

[HanzGruber]

That hoe is selling almost a million on ppv. If she runs thru MMA and comes to Boxing, she might blow up even more.

If she was a boxer from the get go and beating everyone the way she is, nobody would care. People watch her cause of the hype machine and has a big brand behind her

Oscar's trying so hard she's probably the only thing that can save the drowning Golden Boy ship.

Oscar is off his head, 4m would be amazed if it did 40k

She's a helluva mma fighter. But the stand up game isn't her forte. Sure, I could see her MAYBE doing a million ppvs in a boxing match if she brought the UFC crowd over. But she's never gonna do crazy numbers like Oscar is talking about. She's not a good enough boxer, and even if she somehow became one, you need to have the right dance partner in boxing to do HUGE numbers, and female boxing doesn't really offer that at the moment. It's just not mainstream enough.

I feel like everything this guy is saying and doing is a passive aggressive shot at Floyd lol... I think he has a Floyd voodoo doll he pins needles in every night after he snorts a new line of the cocoa.

Good idea. Thanks.

Because him putting her on the cover of Ring Magazine wasn't a dead giveaway of his intentions lol

You'd think he wants to get in that, but it's probably the other way around. He probably wants to get it from Rousey like in that picture of him taking it in the butt from a girl with a *****. Ronda Rousey should steer clear from DLH.

Top post, I bet you're right on all points.

She's a helluva mma fighter - check

But the stand up game isn't her forte - check

Sure, I could see her MAYBE doing a million ppvs in a boxing match if she brought the UFC crowd over - maybe, good point, she would bring a ton of fans with her - check

But she's never gonna do crazy numbers like Oscar is talking about. She's not a good enough boxer - check, the inside word is that she has a long way to go, she sparred a top female fighter a short while back and that session was a lot shorter than expected. But she is a top athlete and top competitor, I'm sure she would improve quickly in the right environment.

Also, the standup game in MMA is different to boxing, it just is.

and even if she somehow became one, you need to have the right dance partner in boxing to do HUGE numbers, and female boxing doesn't really offer that at the moment. It's just not mainstream enough - check

Doesn't matter why they pay to see her, just as long as they pay. That's your boy Floyd's favorite line. She's wrecking girls and if she comes to boxing, it could be good for the girls. I'm sure she can win but eventually gonna get rocked by somebody. That girl could be a big female boxing star from then on. Women's boxing needs a spark

She isn't even a helluva mma fighter imo. She just catches mediocre opponents in a style they are overmatched in. I just saw that fight she had against that Brazilian troll. She was walking into punches from a shorter flat footed opponent with a shorter reach and even struggled to tie her up which is her so called bread and butter. She can't seem to separate herself from her emotions in there, which is the case for most female fighters. She may dominate womens mma but this hype of her being able to fight men is madness. Womens mma needs to be considered the side show that it is. If they weren't fighting in their underwear nobody would care.

I don't know about 4 million but you have to remember that she is going to have a HUGE following from UFC who will buy the PPV just to see her. Might be well over a million off of hardcore UFC fans alone.
