Comments Thread For: Barclays Exec: De La Hoya Hypocritical on Mayweather-McGregor

[SteveM]

Floyd vs. #48 was no dud, it was a good fight. You just mad he almost shut-out #48. The casuals are the ones who want Floyd vs. Conor. I love the sweet science & I still would love to see Floyd vs. Conor....why not?

It WAS a dud compared to what everyone's expectations were. I could care less who won back then.

So you just admitted to being a casual? What are you posting on here for?

Go tell all your casual friends what a great matchup Floyd-Conor is and invite them round your place and tell them drinks are on me if McGregor wins more than 2 rounds. See how that works out.

you are ******ed.... This fishnet guys just ****d the mexican boxing public with a scam lkke canela vs chavez thats what kills boxing..... Stp being a bitter fan boy... This same guy oscar was on tmz beggin conor to fight canelo...

so odlh ripped people off so its ok if mayweather does too? ****** logic

[SteveM]

ok, so how do we know he wasn't high when he sent his open letter to fans? Either way, yes mayweather vs mcgregor is a cash grab that won't be competitive. But so was Canelo vs khan and Canelo vs Chavez jr. Despite experience, anybody who knows boxing knew those 2 guys had as much chance of beating Canelo as McGregor does of beating mayweather. 0

there's levels to rip offs - Khan had a boxer's chance and Chavez a punchers chance. Maybe 10% chance - McGregor has a 0.5% chance - that's a huge difference. Khan would bos circles around McGregor and Chavez would beat him up - Frank Warren put it into perspective - he said if McGregor was a pro in the UK he would at best be competitive on the regional circuit - like being competitive in say, Alabama, or Maine. And now he goes up against a defensive genius?

I'm not saying it isn't a rip off, but when the complaint comes from a guy who puts on rip off ppv events of his own, it's definitely hypocritical. You know that had Dana white called Oscar and said, hey let's put together Canelo vs McGregor, Oscar would've jumped all over it in a heartbeat. No way would he have said, no Dana, this is a rip off to boxing fans and I don't want any part of it. Hence, he's a hypocrite

Mayweather v McGregor sucks, agree with Dela Renta on this one. "peeleft:

I don't care about odlh or a idiot arena exec. The Floyd vs McGregor fight is a circus, a waste of time. People are more excited about the press tour than the fight itself. What people don't realize is that Floyd will break Rocky Marciano's record with a bogus opponent who has no business being in the ring with him and will pay $100 for this mismatch.

Everyone knows that mayweather vs Mcgregor is a joke fight and a circus money grab but my question is will the people still pay $100+ for it?

Dog, I aint a casual, I have been in that ring & have watched boxing since you were on your moms *******. Just cuz I don't mind watching it doesn't makes someone a casual. I know Floyd is going to K.O. this boy, I just want to enjoy watching it. So why you posting up here? You wouldn't get in that ring with me if I was in front of you right now.

I'm so glad these guys are pointing out Oscar's hypocrisy! In December 2016, Oscar wanted to sign McGregor, and he said that "the only fight that makes sense" was Canelo vs. McGregor @ 160! Had McGregor agreed, we wouldn't be seeing GGG vs. Canelo is September 2017! Let that marinate!

Yes, unless they cry like a little girl talkin bout "its too much money." People need to stop with the b.s. we are all getting ripped off by many things we purchase everyday so they should just get over it.
