What is this some girl sh^t? Why can't Oscar call Bob? Why is he even publicly talking about this? Why don't he just get on the phone & talk Bob & then talk to the media to announce Loma vs Linares in April in a couple weeks instead of this bs non-news?

Call each other, maybe now that this is in public both would do this fight. I remember when Richard schaeffer was blamed for everything. You would think fights with GBP would be made once he left.

Why doesn't Oscar just call him? In any case if they cant even make a decent fight like Loma-Linares immediately, then there is no hope in boxing for actually making the great matchups. Linares is not some superstar.

Easy work for Loma.

LOL I was thinking the same thing.

Ive always wondered about that, with promoters asking to be called.

An easy way out, where De La Hoya can say "I told Arum to call me to make the fight and he never called."

If they really wanted the fight, then De La Hoya would call himself.

LOL you know Arum will get wind of this and and just shake his head in disbelief.

Arum has said countless times, that he and Haymon have no issues contacting each other to give their fighters opportunities.

Oscar just want Arum to call so he can over price Linares, and then justify it by saying "Hey, you called me, so we know my guy is the a-side". LOL

Linares is the 'A' side, Ring-WBA and WBC Diamond Belt champion #1. at lightweight! who needs to call who? Oscar, team GB don't need Lomachenko, hes got Tank Davis problems.
