Comments Thread For: Golden Boy Team Responds To Floyd Mayweather's Latest Tirade

[BlackSoul]

This report may come as something new to some fans but hardcore fans are aware of previous allegations against Oscar de la Hoya throughout the years. Oscar de la Hoya was actually accused of **** several times during his career and even opted to pay an alleged victim a settlement out of court instead of attempting to clear his name.

One of the more shocking allegations was his possible **** of a 15-year-old girl in Mexico back in 1996.

LMAO.. yall acting like Oscar is an Angel. Dudes a creepy child ******ing crack user. It alsi mentions how Floyd wasnt on speaking terms with his dad but Oscar got a son he doesnt even acknowledge smh. Typical of boxingscene though.

damn he had **** charges???

[BlackSoul]

Another ****** rat thug that defends a woman beating, racist, illiterate closet ****.

Do they have good WiFi at the McDonald's you're at? Taking a break from protesting your $15 minimum wage increase?

You people talk **** about fighters, completely oblivious to scumbags like Mayweather just because he's black.

so oscars a scumbag too right

So it's okay if Mayweather to say that no up and coming prospect should sign with Golden Boy? That Oscar dresses like a women and is a drug user yet he doesn't bring up nothing from his own past? Hell the man doesn't he acknowledge his past.

This is a two way street. Period. You can't have it both ways. This feud has been going on ever since they were with Top Rank. Both have been jealous of each other at different points in there hall of fame careers. So Let's Not Act Like It's One Sided.

In regards to them and HBO your right. They don't have one card finalized on HBO. But it's about quality with them not quantity. They can't just put any of there top guys out there with no plan. There's 11 more months to go let's see what happens. By the way on a side note you can stream all there LA Fight Club and Estrella Cards on Ring TV Live if you where wondering.

Please use the entire statement when making the critique; Floyd said that no up and coming prospect should sign with Golden Boy ... because Oscar, in the biggest moment for the biggest fighter that he has under his banner, couldn't hold things together and flaked out (lapsing back on drugs and sidetracking everything for everyone). With the facts being what they were, if you were the father of said top prospect, would you honestly leave your son's fortunes in the hands of someone who can't be depended on?

Floyd doesn't sell himself as an angel; whenever the topic is brought up, Floyd acknowledges that he's made mistakes and that he's not perfect, but pivots to wanting to be better and moves on. It's not like he's tried to act as if his past didn't happen.

If given the choice to put my kid with Mayweather Promotions or Golden Boy, you go with Mayweather, for the simple fact that you walk into that relationship with everyone's eyes open, faults already acknowledged, and a staunch track record of Mayweather, win or lose, standing by the guys under his banner (Luis "Cuba" Arias incident aside, since Floyd places an extreme importance on loyalty; and even with that, Arias has started popping back up at Mayweather Boxing Club, with everyone being cordial and joking with each other, so even that grudge is easing).

And, in terms of top guys, who are you actually talking about? Saul Alvarez will fight on PPV at least twice this year (May PPV and the Cotto rematch, as I don't see the Golovkin fight happening).

and then what? Sadam Ali gets his shot at the vacant WBO belt, wins that fight, and then looks to fight ... Bradley Skeete (likely in the UK, as Ali's yet to show that he can sell tickets in New York).

Luis Ortiz is likely to get a fight, but even he's at least two fights from locking in his own shot at the title.

Hopkins gets one last fight, and then what? who else under the banner is worth anything at this point?

You add that Kovalev is likely to get three HBO dates, Golovkin will get three HBO dates, Andre Ward will a least get one HBO date, Klitschko-Fury is already locked in for a date, and Top Rank still needs to get their own dates in, and there's not much left for Golden Boy to work with. So much for being the top promoter.

Lastly, I have no interest in going out of my to see LA Fight Club, for the simple fact that none of the fights that have been booked have looked competitive on paper, or ended up being competitive

[Sledgeweather17]

Exactly. But to be completely blunt. Mayweather did respond after DLH's phony truce statement and could of left it at that. The fact he decided to throw some more insults was uncalled for. Also mayweather has been saying some ****** **** about 'boxing conspiring to bring a white superstar" and how ufc fighters "like rousey and mcgregor get special treatment cause they are white". Mayweather at this point is feeling the effects of not being missed for not being an entertaining fighter and loved by the people like he's wanted. Hell they even booed him at the garcia-guerrero fight.

Not being loved? Yeah sure.

Not being missed? That's nonsense and you and I and everyone else who aint in denial knows it. Thurman, Khan, Brook, Pac, and Garcia are all still talkin bout Mayweather even though he retired, and those all top 10 fighters in the welterweight division.

Also nobody seems to be able to stop talking about that #50. Even Deontay Wilder, a heavyweight, said he would like to see MayPac2.

Not loved? Sure, but not missed? You're obviously delusional.

Your right Oscar wasn't there when Canelo was on the biggest stage versus Money May. No debate about that. He relapsed and he dropped the ball period. But ever since he took control of his company the man has been front and center promoting. Doing a lot of the leg work that he never did before and that led to Golden Boy's best year in boxing in a while. Oscar along with Bernard Hopkins will when promoter of the year based on the fights that he made for the fans.

So you mention Mayweather brings up his past. He really doesn't at all. He says at best was he made mistakes but yet when Oscar fully acknowledges his issues in the past, goes into detail the man still gets criticized. When has Money May ever gone into his allegations? Never....he still dismisses them even though he has had a record.

You mention that you would rather have your kid sign with Mayweather Promotions rather than Golden Boy. My question to you is when has Mayweather really ever cared about bringing his guys to stardom. When has any of his guys fought as the Co Main Event on any of his pay per views? None. The man has had his own promotion ever since he left Top Rank and yet the best guys he has had is Jack, Love, Smith, and Bey??? Really? Yet you claim that's the best promotion. Right??? Canelo by himself is worth more than triple than Money May's entire crew. That might not be enough. Oscar has had Golden Boy promotions over a decade and has turned out the majority of the champions under the PBC banner so please let's not go down that road. Until the past few months the only shows Mayweather Promotions were doing was on Friday Night ShoBox Fights.

Canelo will hopefully get in 3 fights, and along with most boxing fans I hope he faces GGG.

Ortiz will fight 3 times and get a shot at the belt. AS for Sadam he can face guys like Bradley, Brook, and possibly Khan. He might not have as many options because the majority of the top Welterweights are under the PBC banner but there's still options for him.

Other guys that Golden Boy has Slava, Jo Jo Diaz, Lemieux, Herrera, Matthysse, Gomez, Gibson, Linares, Caballero.....etc.....I could keep going but hopefully you get the picture Golden Boy has way more than Canelo.

You got me on the LA Fight Club Cards not being competitive. Hopefully that changes this year. But with LA Fight Club you can actually watch the entire card top to bottom. Just Saying

[turnedup]

This is why I try to keep talk strictly to what an athlete does when he's performing. Both of these dudes no matter how great they were in the sport have done some messed up shhh outside of the ring.

[Rich2123]

They're both scumbags who have done horrible things they never would have gotten away with had they not been so good at sports.

Over the last year, Golden Boy has put on much better cards, but let's see if they can keep that up. No one has all that much announced yet.

[Teetotaler]

Not being loved? Yeah sure.

Not loved? Sure, but not missed? You're obviously delusional.

Thurman and garcia said they are not interested in froid since he retired. Brook is begging for a khan fight while khans delusionalass really thinks froid avoided him. Pac also said hes not chasing him since he retired as well. I doubt a rematch gets made and if it does no way it even does half the numbers.

Pretty much, it's like a couple of murderers arguing about which way is the worst to murder someone, LOL.
