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

[LOCOMEX89]

-As things are going now, DiBella Entertainment (Lou Dibella) is far likelier to win promoter of the year than Golden Boy is, even when working within the PBC group of promoters. DiBella already had Wilder-Szpilka, has Thurman-Porter for March, will likely get Wilder-Povetkin in June/July, gets Jacobs stay busy fight for the summer, will likely get Jacobs-Saunders or Jacobs-EubankJr and a share of Golovkin-Jacobs, in addition to any other PBC fight card that comes to New York, as well as his own smaller shows.

what does Golden Boy's calendar look like? lol

-Oscar has never acknowledged anything about his past, especially if you want to talk about doing so in full (i sincerely doubt that beer/alcohol would lead anyone to dress in drag and let his escorts photo it). And you seriously want to bring up addressing allegations?

-Badou Jack, on the cusp of finally working his way to a title shot, got clipped in the first round of a stay-busy fight; rather than write him off, Floyd stuck behind him, made sure that he could still get Jack solid fights, and then used his own relationships to finally get Badou Jack that world title opportunity (leaving it all on Badou Jack to find a way to grab his own goals). If you need another example, you can look to what Mayweather was able to do for Ishe Smith or what he's doing with Ashley Theophane (came in for sparring, gave good work and impressed Floyd, Floyd brought him into the camp, lost his first fight under the TMT banner, Floyd still stuck with him, and, two years later, Floyd's finally been able to get him a world title opportunity).

Floyd's had his own promotional company since 2007, but it didn't do more than act as an LLC pass-through for him until 2013, when it actually started to operate as an actual promotional company. Beyond that, I never said that Mayweather Promotions was the best promoter; I said that, if given the binary choice, I'd rather have my kid with Floyd than with Oscar. And Oscar hasn't had Golden Boy for ten years; he's had the company for 20 months now, as basically everything before that was achieved by Richard Schaefer. Honesty is key.

Floyd has yet to produce a 'Canelo', and he might not ever have a fighter achieve that status, but to act as if you can lay Canelo's success with Oscar De la Hoya is laughable; Canelo came over after already emerging as a star in Mexico, with his placements underneath Mayweather giving him the opportunity to build his US starpower. You add the buildup and focus behind Mayweather-Alvarez and you can argue that Floyd, in actuality, had more direct involvement in launching Canelo than Oscar ever did.

-Only fighter you mentioned that I have any interest in seeing is JoJo Diaz; beyond that, you may as well have just gone to the Golden Boy website and started listing off names, for all I care. None of the other names in your list have much a shot at HBO attention, tbh.

Luis Ortiz isn't going to get 3 HBO dates (unless Golden Boy simply handcuffs to Canelo, a la Golovkin/Gonzalez), and counting Sadam Ali's options as Top Rank's only marketable welter (Bradley, who I see beating Pacquiao), PBC's UK connection (Matchroom's Kell Brook), and Al Haymon-advised Amir Khan is a bit rich.

-I have no interest in watching bad fights, whether just one or a full card of them. Doubt that that changes anytime soon either.

First of all Golden Boy by far was the best promotion in 2015. They actually put fights on that fans wanted too see. So yeah they will win Promoter of the Year for 2015. Only 1 month into 2016 lets see what happens. Again it's about quality with them not quantity.

Yes Oscar has done countless interviews talking about his past and bringing up his wrong doings. It's called youtube and the internet why don't you use them some time? Where as Money May has yet to say anything about his past. But it is what it is.

Your Jack, Smith, and Ashley points are a complete and utter joke. None of those dudes deserved title shots. I guess Jack deserved his belt but at the time he didn't deserve a shot because he beat absolutely no body prior to Dirrell. They all are riding that Mayweather wave without doing anything in the ring to prove there worthy of a title shot.

You want honesty about Oscar's company? Schaffer and Al Haymon went behind Oscar's back to screw him and rob him out of a lot of talent that weren't signed to Golden Boy. That's truth. I don't care how you dress it up at the end of the day the majority if not all the PBC Champions had Golden Boy to Thank for putting there money behind them. Let's keep it 100.

Not saying Canelo's success is all Oscar because that would be a lie. But Oscar has helped Canelo greatly and if Canelo felt any other way towards Oscar he would have left Golden Boy just like the others did. Instead he renewed his contract with Golden Boy and he right now is the most marketable and the biggest name in the sport.

The names I mentioned have actual credence. Maybe if actually watch boxing you would know who they were.

Jake Donavon is a idiot. Oscar could'nt leave floyd TBE mayweather jr out of his personal problems and now Donavon is trying to attach mayweather for Oscar crap. what a joke

[imperial1]

The biggest joke is Mayweather promotions

[Death_Adder]

You mad bro. Lmao dont cry because your hero is a child ******ing cross dressing CRACKHEAD. wifi at mcdonalds? Kind of lame bro. You defending a child ******or I'm not surprised because your people lead the nation in that SMH.

I seriously doubt my people don't lead the nation in ****.

Unlike you people who lead the nation in every category in crime.

"But, but, the police are evil doe" Dumbass people, quit committing crimes and the police will stop profiling you. Simple.

And I'm not your "bro"

so oscars a scumbag too right

Yet you defend Floyd for beating, pointing a gun, imprisoning and threatening gang **** on MULTIPLE women.

Oscar has at least apologized and atoned for his crimes. Floyd and you people are still in denial.

Harris says she suffered physical abuse from the boxer on "six occasions," the worst coming in September 2010, when Mayweather entered Harris' home as she slept, yanked her to the floor by her hair, then punched and kicked and screamed cuss words at her in front of their children. It was the couple's oldest son, Koraun, who slipped out of the house to alert a security guard to summon police.

With McNair present, the fighter rained punches and kicks upon her, according to the statements of Harris and the children. Harris was later treated at a hospital, but she believes Koraun saved her from more serious harm.

Typical Floyd fan - "But that's aiight doe, he my ni66a"

"He is a coward," Koraun said, and he hugged his mom.

His own kid called him a coward.

[Death_Adder]

WTF is wrong with you. I don't give a **** how offended you get, your statement is full of racist innuendo.

You have the nerve to call someone ****** thug, but then use bigoted steriotypes and ignorant statements pertaining to socioeconomic status of other posters. People struggle to feed their kids making scraps, dealing with a system that is all too eager to see them fail.

What, are you a full blown Trump fan.

Mayweather, his statements are all about gaining himself attention. It's how he got rich. Whatever!

But you just sunk lower than Mayweather has in a long time. The guy is a piece for beating women, sure. He should have done better coming clear and using it to teach others.

But when you knowingly foster hate and division, your ****ing discrediting every word that comes out of your mouth.

Apart from the McDonalds (which I wouldn't put it past these people) what part of my quote is false?

[MC Hammer]

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.

You're on the side of a cross-dressing rapist. Then have the nerve to go on a racist tirade and call Floyd racist. I'm assuming you're mexican. I'm sure that pretty much every American would rather be a black one than a mexican American. Right now you guys are the new ******s in this country

How do you atone for forcefully inserting your penis into a child, by saying sorry and paying a couple of dollars? Is that where your moral compass is?

[KnockoutKings]

the only thing oscar is beating floyd at, is having a much more successful promotional company. i doubt mayweather promotions is ever as big as Golden Boy. espcially with PBC in the mix. floyd said mayweather promotions is the future, well we'll see

[MC Hammer]

lol

Oscar De La Hoya goes to Playboy Magazine, writes what he writes (in the name of discrediting Mayweather's entire career), yet folks like you want to act as if Oscar didn't start ****; that he should "take the high road", if you will. gtfoh

January is already over, Golden Boy has yet to have a single fight card this year, has one HBO date penciled in for March, has Canelo's PPV tentatively booked for May, and has the rest of his four fight cards on a channel that no one actually even gets.

Yet, The Golden Boy is supposed to be the "top promoter in the sport"?

That's what I don't get. How can they be #1 when they only have one draw and he and his team got the short end of the stick in the Cotto fight. They've actually been b-side in every major promotion they have had this year except the Kirkland fight.
