[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Andreas Hale - Remember that time that Oscar De La Hoya wrote an open letter to the boxing community asking them to boycott a fight between one of the best pound for pound fighters in history and the UFC's biggest draw? You know, that letter that suggested the sport of boxing may not recover from Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor...

You are absolutely right but you left out his gold meadows in jealousy,fishnet clothing and drugs. Bow down.

Oscar is so bitter, he needs to let it go but he just cant
Hes a drug addict so that doesnt help matters

If you can't beat 'em, might as well join 'em.
Oscar scoffed at the Mayweather-McGregor circus, and he warned fans not to indulge in the nonsense. He tried to appeal to boxing fan's better judgement, but found that many fans have no better judgement. He's realized that if fans want to throw their money at ridiculous match-ups, then it might as well be HIM involved in those ridiculous match-ups.

It would be funny if this actually happened and Oscar lost

Here come the people who train in glass gyms, always ready to throw some stones.
Like toy robots, when you pull a string they just say "fishnets" and "drug addict" over and over again.

That's a distinct possibility, after being on the shelf for a decade, and having had issues with alcohol and drugs. He's probably just trolling anyways. ..unless McGregor strangely shows some interest.

Oscar is desperate because he sees the writing on the wall: GBP can't survive without Canelo. They can't make any money unless Canelo fights.

This is Oscar's pathetic attempt to try and get one last payday in.

Remember this:

Deetz’s numbers reveal just how incredibly valuable Canelo Alvarez might be to Golden Boy’s bottom line. From 2014 through the first half of 2016, it appears that Golden Boy had combined income from boxing operations of $16,321,659 and Canelo accounted for 10,460,885 of it, or 64.1%. But even this doesn’t reveal the true extent of Golden Boy’s reliance on Canelo since it also appears that Mayweather made the promotion over $2 million in 2014. After Mayweather split with Golden Boy and Haymon bought out his boxers, Canelo accounted for 94% of Golden Boy’s income from boxing operations in 2015 and 107% in the first half of 2016, according to Bloody Elbow’s calculations of financial records in the Deetz’s report.

At the moment, financially-speaking, Canelo is Golden Boy.
