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

[BOXINGADICT]

Loool. You do make me laugh. I actually haven't seen him talk about canelo and Connor sober. Whenever he speaks about it he looks drunk as ****

i swear he did 2 interviews about it! one was when he was coming out of the club and another backstage at a fight.. maybe it was on fight hub... he said he wants conor to come to boxing and fight for golden boy.... even bob arum said 2 weeks ago if floyd vs conor doesnt happen manny is ready to go.. sooo all these people are jealous that haymon and floyd are ones getting paid while they fight for chump change lol

[BOXINGADICT]

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

he was on tmz last month begging ufc and mcgregor to fight canelo! are you ******ed? dont you get he is a greddy prick only worried about his own bottom line.... he would make canelo vs mcgregor in a heartbeat..... you think he cares about boxing? lay off the pipe if you do

[Bronx2245]

Odh isn't a hypocrite...he's a drunk there's a big difference. Sure we all remember that interview outside the club but we've all said ****** **** when we are ****ed up. Doesn't mean he's incorrect in what he says about mayweather vs mcgregor

I don't believe this interview is outside a club:

this Yormack guy forgetting that boxing is only just recovering from the Floyd-Pac dud - and that wasn't even a mismatch. Boxing has been doing great this year without Floyd-McGregor. Continue putting on great fights and the word will be out to the casuals but burn the casuals at the box office and there's another year or two of low ppvs.

Flod/Manny had nothing to do with boxing being in the dump. It has been certain promoters putting their big stars in terrible mismatches. Manny/Floyd was in 2015 and exactly what meaningful fight has Oscar or Arum put their PPV star in? People don't want to pay to see weak fights that should be on regular HBO. Other than a few fights, every good fight between top fighters has been put on by Showtime/PBC on regular tv. All of HBO fights the past 2 years have been garbage and should have been on regular HBO. GB and Canelo just delivered a dud of a fight that was as much of a money grab as is the Foyd/Connor fight.

It's not. But I do believe he was ****ed up for that interview too. Look at his tie and eyes it gives it away.

Well if he's f**ked up in a club, and f**ked up in a gym, then he's always f**ked up! Oscar is just a f**ked up individual, and he's a hypocrite! If it was up to Oscar, you'd be watching Canelo vs. McGregor on September 16th!

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 wouldn't need to get in a ring with you if you were in front of me right now. If you're as hardcore as you make out then once you got over yourself we'd talk boxing as I go back to early seventies watching boxing.
I will watch this fight out of curiosity for the same reason - but on a stream. Anybody paying $ for this is insane as a/ it will be seriously uncompetitive and b/ it will be seriously over-priced.

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?

and ur point? everyone knows going in mayweather will likely dominate. i think fact people wish to see mayweather lose before he retires and the hate for mayweather is the real reason people are mad. like honestly who cares if ur afraid see mayweather toy with mcgregor dont watch its simple. people keep saying may pac destroyed boxing but the reality is everyone putting their hope in pac beating mayweather is what destroyed boxing. u haters just couldnt handle it and quit caring about boxing for a little bit

I'm not trying to be hardcore, I would of asked you politely to mix it up with me in the ring then after that ask you if I was a casual. I'll pay for the fight, money comes & goes plus it wont make me broke so why not?

It's true. If Canelo was fighting McGregor then De La Hoya would have said it's the fight of the century lol. All about money, and like it or not, it'll get more buys than any other fight this year, if not more than Mayweather-Pacquaio even. And I'm a sucker that will be keen to watch it lol, even tho I know the most likely outcome is a can of whoop ass that Floyd opens up on Conor.
