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

[-Kev-]

Who gives a **** if Oscar is hypocritical? Name one person in boxing who isn't a hypocrite.

Oscar is 100% correct in calling the Mayweather fight a joke, regardless of his motive.

What do you think of him trying to hype up Canelo vs McGregor?

And do you think if White approached him instead of Floyd to fight McGregor, would DLH make the fight?

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?

Its unlikely that anybody who has been in a ring repeatedly would be a casual fan - but not impossible. On the other hand you don't have to have stepped in a ring to be a hardcore fan.

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

It should be clear what my point was but then you go off on a tangent with your pov. Fair enough. I'm "afraid" to see Mayweather toy with McGregor? It's nothing to do with being afraid - its just pointless and unedifying - which would be ok if A/ everyone admitted that it's a mismatch - but the promoters are not doing that or even close - and B/ people weren't being charged 80-100 bucks to do so.

Your reality is >>> statement is just not what most commentators and promoters say. The fight was super hyped and was a dud with little action after being billed as the fight of the century. Even the Berto fight numbers were down and according to your theory that was the last chance all the haters had to see Mayweather lose so why didn't that do big numbers.

If you stink the room out was does everyone do - both literally and figuratively? They leave for a while and then come back when the smell has gone and the party seems decent again.
