Comments Thread For: Mayweather: De La Hoya Jealous, Fed Me GBP Fighters

[imperial1]

If you were a fighter right at this moment, where would GBP rank on your list of promoters to handle your career?

Exactly!

Who is the best promotional company right now ?

Ether... Oscar needs to leave sleeping dogs lie. He said he's retired why are you constantly bringing him up?!? It has to be jealousy tbh

[MC Hammer]

Yes he did get those guys paid millions.

Look he made a poor decision with Rousey and him going at Floyd is the same thing they have been doing for years.

His past seems to be resolved and how can you say he's not a good promoter?

Look at the fights he's put on this year starting with Wilder vs Stiverne to Canelo vs Cotto. He is the promoter of the year

Addiction is never resolved, and him acting like one little stint in rehab fixed him lets me know he's susceptible to falling back. Especially all this bitterness he's spewing, it sounds like he has already; isn't letting go part of the program?

And yes he's a terrible promoter.Lucas is all but done. He sacrificed Lemeuix as soon as he got a belt in a fight that no one saw. Canelo was big already due to Shaffer positioning him on every Mayweather card. Since he left Canelo's ppvs have done dirt and this is supposed to be the second biggest fight of the year, but probably won't outsell Mayweather/Berto. Sadam Ali has been passed over his shot at the WBO multiple times because Bob Arum isn't interested and Oscar needs Arum to run his company. AND Wilder Stiverne wasn't his fight. Wilders a Haymon fighter, stiverne is Don Kings. It was on SHO, I don't know why you would think that was a De La Hoya fight.

They all give him respect it's just not published on Racistscene I mean boxing scene.

Are you nuts all those guys said the same things oscar did. I don't enjoy his style of fighting I think he's boring I think he could challenged himself and took more risks. They all said the same things they just didn't have as big a platform as Oscar did but they had the same type of criticism. Funny how Floyd is undefeated and so called retire why ain't he getting the Jordan or Gretzky treatment where the greats in his sport are showing him with love and praise. Even in boxing other all time greats got more love and praise from his peers. Let's face it most of Floyd's peers and fans are saying what Oscar is saying. Even if i agree Oscar is just jealous (which I dont) how come so many other all time greats share his opinion? Again Oscar is not the first one to say Floyd is boring or question his lack of risks taken in the ring or outside choosing opponents. Everyone can't just be jealous that's why they are saying the same things.

pbc is what i would sign with.

Oscar isnt a good promoter and most want out of tr cause arum steals.

K2 but i think they mainly euro atm

[SeekDaGreat]

I agree all across the board. De La Hoya is a jealous took bag who has no business promoting fighters because he doesn't know wtf he's doing.

I'd be going to al Haymon for sure, idk about promoters...top rank has been stalling a lot of fighters, GB idk even know if they really promote, Roc Nation and TMT are new to the game.... and Don King....well heeeeell naw

imo king was the best there ever was. He stole and screwed over many but that man can sell. That said i wouldn sign with him ever

[sirron000]

exactly. So you really think this response by Floyd to Oscar "tore him a new a$$hole"? because no response from Floyd would have been better. He couldn't attack Oscar's boxing career so he attacked him personally. But I didn't really expect common sense from a Ward fan. haha surprised he still hasn't talked all of them away

So you being a relatively new fan to the sport do you honestly believe Oscar had a better boxing career?

Fear the black man at all cost, why does Ward and Floyd spook you so bad?

Are you serious? Golden Boy will be in the running for promoter of the year. Other then haymons pbc which is not a promotional company what other promoters are ahead of Golden Boy and put on more big fights this year? It sure ain't Mayweather promotions. Other then haymon what is the list of promoters ahead of golden boy? And yiu cant say Haymon because he in court right now trying avoid a multimillion lawsuit arguing that he is not a promoter. Also Haymon has the deepest stable but no stars or elite fighter. Not a single fighter on the current top 10 p4p list is signed with Haymon. Canelo is worth more then all the PBC fighters combined.
