It seems like you took my post as if Oscar does nothing wrong. If my post implied that, then that is incorrect. I agree with almost everything you said about Oscar (I say most because you missed saying that he's a phoney/fake).
What disturbs me is that because Floyd doesn't do anything else bad besides beat women, and sport's top names do it too, that it's not that bad.
Just so I can understand where you're coming from...you a Floyd fan i'm guessing?
My main position, though, is that Floyd's sin is a sin that excessively present in the sport of boxing, yet it seems like Floyd is the only that gets trashed more it. Makes no sense to me, especially when some of the folks who harp on Floyd's transgression are championing guys like Mike Tyson.
Beating women is a terrible thing; I'd just appreciate if such outrage didn't only come into the conversation when it involves Floyd beating a woman.Comment

Canelo Alvarez, the only marketable fighter under the ****ing banner, already has his own promotional company, already directly negotiates his TV deal in Mexico, and already has mainlined his own relationship with HBO; the moment Oscar relapses again, Canelo likely brings Eric Gomez into his fold (to handle the US logistics for the fight) and boots Golden Boy.
Beyond that, are you really trying to argue that Golden Boy Promotions was the best company last year? PBC kicked Golden Boy's, and basically every other company sans maybe Matchroom Sport, face in (only reason that 'PBC' didn'y win was because it's a series and the success that PBC was able to put forwad was broken up across 4-5 promotional companies).
Oscar De La Hoya was always an obvious figurehead, there's no way around that; Schaefer took Oscar's image and leveraged that into bringing additional financial backers into the company (who left the moment that Schaefer left), bringing AEG and their venues into the fold (who left the moment that Schaefer left), bringing broader TV outlets to the fold (who left the moment that Schaefer left), and establishing one of the deepest and broadest talent rosters under one promotional banner (who largely left before Schaefer was even all the way out).
Call me when Golden Boy gets back to running regular HBO dates again.
PBC is not a promotional company aren't they in court fighting 100 million lawsuits so why are comparing them to golden boy? And the rate they losing money with crappy TV ratings it is no sure thing they are even around next year. Without haymon using golden boy to promote his fighters you have seen a 50% drop or greater from what his guys pulled in for ratings on showtime to what this same fighters are doing now on showtime. For example wilder under golden boy did over 1mil last year but did only 500k just weeks ago. While Ortiz just did 614k viewers in Dec on HBO After dark but golden boy don't have any marketable fighters?
Exactly Oscar was the figure head that opened up all these doors for his company while Schaefer just leveraged that for deals and ran the day to day. Guys like that are dime a dozen. Which is why golden boy won promoter of the year twice without him by ESPN and every other major boxing media that gives out awards not just ring magazine!Last edited by bigdunny1; 01-28-2016, 08:29 AM.Comment

Please name 5 five fight cards that Golden Boy put on in 2015 that were memorable, for "the sport's top promotional company". gtfoh
Oscar screwed Oscar; try and spin it however you want, but that's reality. After being strung out on bender after bender, Oscar finally decided to sober up and try to be a promoter for the first time in a decade, Schaefer and Haymon didn't trust Oscar's business acumen, so they took their money and assets and went elsewhere with their business, leaving the recovering addict with whatever few folks still willing to risk their careers on the backs of an addict who relapsed on the eve of the company's biggest event.
Schaefer tried a power play to steal Oscar's company got haymon and other investors to try and buy him out...and failed. Now haymon is losing his investor's 100s of millions and is being sued for 100s of millions while Oscar is still number 1 promoter of the year!Comment

Mayweather Promotions handles the PBC shows for Vegas, in addition to the cards for their own fighters; whether Mayweather Promotions ever gets as big as pre-exodus Golden Boy only time can tell. Badou Jack-Chavez Jr is already in the cue for Mayweather Promotions (if Jack gets through the fight with a W, Mayweather Promotions is likely to be the co-promoter for a Jack-Degale unification fight). Tank Davis is coming along, Michael Hunter is flashing talent, and Andrew Tabiti/Kevin Newman II/Ronald Gavril/'Memphis' Miller are all young guys who are flashing ability. Floyd gets one of those guys to break through and Mayweather Promotions launches.
And whatever success you think PBC had Mayweather promotions has NOTHING to do with it because haymon rarely uses them. I wonder why?Last edited by bigdunny1; 01-28-2016, 08:32 AM.Comment

As far as his cross dressing, there is absolutely NOTHING illegal about that.
Floyd on the other hand has a long history of domestic violence and has done jail time for it, as recent as a few years ago. And yet you idiots defend that.
Goddamn you FloeHoes are f***ing morons. No wonder you people are butt of everyone's joke.Comment

No, I said as clear as day I don't care! Wrong or not with rock stars which Oscar basically was at the time they get sea of groupies throwing themselves at them every night. If some groupie is going to lie about her age to get back stage, get into a hotel etc to sleep with that's on them and their parents. I will never shed a tear over a groupie h0e that lied about her age and then comes out 3 years later to get money. And that's why nobody else cares about it either.Last edited by bigdunny1; 01-28-2016, 08:33 AM.Comment

You dumbasses need to quit acting like Oscar is Jared Fogle. Yes it was considered ****, but it was statutory ****, some little groupie wanted to go at it with Oscar, so she can get a pay out. Happened once and settled out of court. 20 FUCKING YEARS AGO

EXACTLY!!!!! Floyd gets hammered because he's got actual criminal cases 7 different women in 7 domestic violence accusations. Pled guilty or convicted 3 seperate cases. His own son gave a statement and was prepared to testify against him. This ain't a groupie trying to get paid you got numerous women going to cops to get protection from him getting restraining orders not trying to get paid. His own son telling you what happened to his own mother. He is a serial woman beater according to the Las Vegas police and court system. The last person that should open his mouth about anyone's issues out side the ring is floyd. His closet is dirty.
Take for example Pacquiao. They try to discredit him by saying he he cheated on his wife, had A kid, ONE KID by another woman and a ******** problem. When Floyd has:
Beaten on MULTIPLE women
ALL of his kids are out of wedlock and by different women
and has the worst ******** addiction of anyone out there. Seriously, he has a real ******** problem.
Yet, not a peep from the FloeHoes. It was Manny with the ******** problem, the kid out of wedlock, etc.
Like I said they're morons.Comment
