I would party with him, but i hate him so much.

Oscar does the same promoting that Bob Arum and Manny do before his fights... Talk about Mayweather. ahh well hope the fights good with Canelo and GGG.

Dayum, oscar u full of it bro. U would have been hyping it up the most given the opportunity.

[bronx7]

You lying ****** freak you are directly quoted saying Canella is a real fight for mcgregor and he should fight him instead. Guess who Canella's promoter is you would have co promoted with the UFC you lying Arum desciple

[Butch.McRae]

This man has lost all self respect...no integrity, no credibility, and apparently he doesn't even want to have balls.

The guy is an embarrassment. Canelo is the only thing keeping this guy off suicide watch. Hell of a fall from grace imo

[Pennsauken1]

If Canelo gets knocked out, bye bye Oscar, he is done, what a fraud

[Eff Pandas]

Maybe he ain't lying. I mean its not like he's listened to fans since he quit fighting. Fans have been wanting GGG vs Canelo for awhile. And he didn't listen to fans & grab the money til 2ish years later. So yea the fans wanted to pay a promoter a big pile of money to promote Conor vs Floyd so Oscar is apparently not down for giving fans what they want lol.

[ShoulderRoll]

Remember how all the fans felt ripped off after Canelo vs. Chavez Jr?

I do.

[millcitymauler]

I always liked Oscar as a fighter. Fought the best in their prime, but now he sounds like some bs politician that shows up every 4 years. He's lost all heart.

Even though Oscar is a lying POS. What he's saying is actually true. I've never understood the Boxing-MMA rivalry because they're totally different sports. Tennis and racquetball aren't rivals. Football and rugby aren't rivals. Neither should boxing and MMA be.

But at the end of the day, it's a business. And the main priority of a business is to make money. And nobody put a gun to anybody's head and demanded they watch Mayweather-McGregor. There was a huge market for it. So you can't call it a sham. No more than you could call Canelo-Chavez Jr a sham. Or Canelo-Khan a sham. It is what it is.

At the end of the day. Oscar has made an ass of himself over this whole Mayweather-McGregor deal. He's mad because Floyd has one up'd him.....again. And he's also scared that he's risking his only shred of relevance in a week. And because of Floyd, he may not get a max return on this huge risk. Asking casual fans to shell out nearly $200 in less than a month's time for boxing is a tough ask. A lot of folks were gonna have to pick one. And to a casual, Mayweather-McGregor was the choice. That's Oscar's beef.
