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

[Butch.McRae]

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.

Was he a side A runner when he was standing right in front of Canelo for 12 rounds? What about Cotto? Mosley? Marquez?

It's actually harder to find fights where he was moving a lot (Maidana I) as opposed to fights where he was right there to be hit.

You guys are like women who don't know anything about a sport but always have a biased opinion for your favorite.

Oscar needs to tell that to all the fans that seem to buy more of Mayweather's PPVs than his fighter.

This fool does not like Floyd and ever since he got beat by him he's almost to the point of hatred...

[Robbie Barrett]

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..

They still paid to see him.

Name any other fighter that would make more $$$ fighting a Berto level opponent.

Funniest thing about this comment apart from Oscar running from Trinidad is that Canelo was scared to let his hands go against Floyd out of fear of getting KO'd by a counter-punch. Canelo fought like a coward.

Right, but not to see his style of fighting which is Oscar's point. It was more because they hated him and wanted to see him get ko'd. Personally I'm a Mayweather fan I appreciate the work ethic he has had for such a long time and also I appreciate the sweet science, hit and not be hit which he was the best at in his era... not hating on Floyd. Just pointing out the facts about oscars statement and pairing it up with his ppv numbers. 2/3 or more of his ppv sales came from his haters

He is good at boxing. He tires his opponents and when he notices they are taking time off is usually when he goes on the attack. I've been watching boxing too long to know the difference between let's say a Spence jr type fighter and Mayweather. I'd rather watch Spence style, ggg style, Canelo style, lomachenko style, Mikey Garcia style and so on... then to watch a Mayweather fight. I've never paid for a Mayweather fight and never will because it is too predictable. He is too defensive for my liking and throwing only 10-30 punches a round isn't worth my 100 dollars. If that suits you, then more power to you my friend. Oh and Canelo not my favorite. Even though I can appreciate how good Mayweather is, he still ain't getting my money

[Graz]

It's never a good thing to count other people's money. I think Oscar might just be a little jealous of Mayweather's payday and he's doing just that.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

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

Lmaoooo Fanny Farcia.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

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?]

Dam when did you get in the red?
