Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Mayweather: Fans Want Drama, Not a Runner

[eco1]

Canelo Golovkin hasn't happened yet. Let's talk about Canelo garbage last fight. The fight that was sooo garbage fans said they wasn't going to purchase Canelo Golovkin. I don't know why Oscar think Canelo is soooo exciting. He's not. Canelo last 5-6 Catchweight fights been a circus

and I agree, but even Rod Salka vs Fanny Farciea isn't a circus as this one.

The last Canelo fight we were in NSB general thread talking about how **** Chavez looked instead of actually watching the fight

He certainly didn't run from you.

And Oscar ran from Trinidad....lol

I like floyd more than oscar but he's telling the truth.

Not true. Try watching his fights.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya shook his head at the antics which occurred during last week's four city media tour to promote the August 26th showdown between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor. Mayweather, 40 years old, comes breaks a two year retirement to face the UFC superstar in the main event of a Showtime Pay-Per-View at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Says the cross dresser than ran his ass off against Tito.

If he were telling the truth Mayweather would not hold all the PPV records, that says people are buying his fights more than they buy any other fighters fights.

If he wasn't doing something right he would not be the biggest star in boxing. Everybody understands the all out war fights but they don't seem to sell as much as a Mayweather fight.

Now if money and paying customers talks, then Oscar got out voted by a landslide.

And yes Canel vs GGG is the real fight and its a shame its taking 2nd place to the circus that's just the way it is.

Mayweather got rich off of people that paid money to see him lose. He used people's hate to his benefit. Look at how many ppv he sold against a fighter everyone knew he'd beat (berto) and that's considering it was his "last" fight..

Not true. Try watching his fights.

Especially the fight with Oscar and Canelo. It has been said 1,000 times here but he stood right in front of Canelo. Maybe Oscar doesn't know because he was in drug rehab that week, but those of us on the outside saw what happened.

And maybe Canelo could have won more rounds if he had tried to hit Floyd instead of his guard? That was more bad advice from Oscar.

[Damn why do I click on these Oscar threads?]

Why everyone are stressing out ? the guy is a promoter , its is job to make other fights less appealing and his fight the more appealing , you guys take everything at face value like little kids , like Oscar gives a ***** about running or drama shows or 12 rounds or 1 round KO or what not , he is all about the money (As he should in his position).
If Canelo was a "slick" boxer he would say "no one wants to see 2 apes punching each other in the head until one falls , thats not the sweet science" , its embarrassing to see you guys try and counter his argument........

Yep.. u gotta understand that this forum is filled with little snot nosed kids who dont know sht about boxing. They are more like gossiping teenage girls.

You know what was a bore, what was a dud?

Canelo vs Chavez Jr.

Can't blame Mayweather for that one, can you, Oscar?

Canelo was a side he came to fight put on a show, not his fault Chavez jr just came to get paid... Mayweather being a side is a runner. Facts. Even if you don't like it. Now he is charging 100 to fight some guy that never boxed professionally before, circus facts.

Oscar seems to be salty that he marinated for too long and the public is interested in something else. Hopefully promoters strike while the iron is hot instead of dragging their feet.
