Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Promoters Won't Take Risks, We Think of Fans First

[JohnCastellanos]

The biggest issue that I've had with Oscar as a promotor is that he had Canelo in 3 straight meaningless fights instead of really trying to give fans the fight that they wanted at the time. That, and I find it hard to believe that a promotor has nothing to do with the ridiculous scorecards that Canelo gets in what seems to be every big fight.

That may be true but always remember Canelo is young and at his age he was entitled to take the tough fights until he was ready... besides that doesn’t compare in any way to gggs disgusting resume and don’t tell me it’s because no one wants to fight him!

¿¿Why?? he is speaking nothing but the truth, if you don't like what he is saying GTFOH don't waste your time and somebody else's time. As easy as that.

You're someone's dad, sadly, but you're not mine.

Got to Congratulate Oscar ....He does put on good fights ...matches are competitive.....Don King and Arum have been doing it longer.....I dont like Arum because of his political views ..... Arum does have the 2 best fighters ( BUD & CHENKO) in the business though

[anonymous2.0]

yeah, Oscar says that but looking at Diego De La Hoya's resume, I recognize none of the names on there...

Who are they kidding. Canelo will be fighting Spike next no matter the Sep outcome.

I dont have problem with GBP as they have a history or matching up their fighter stuff.

Nobody can out up quality fights all the time but GBP generally do not baby their fighters.

They're all risk adverse for the most part...unless the payday is big enough to compensate for it.

Oscar taking Low key shots at Hearn .

Let's not act like Joshua isn't still facing his mandatory who's top 5 in division, if not #3. He's also had 4 tough bouts in the last couple years. Brook, Degale also had some tough fights. Not every fight is going to be the best opponent.

None were calling for Khan or Smith. It's not like he chose Charlo's, another tough JMW or even someone to gain experience towards the Golovkin showdown at MW. They cherry picked.
All fighters going to have some easy bouts, but the key is compared to what other options were out there & were you willing to give something up in order to make the fights the fans wanted to see? If not, then it's hardly matchmaking for the fans sake.

And who did GGG just fight?? Fans like you SUK! You suk GGG Ballz and praise his SHT fights and then get pissed at Canelo for 3 fights. 1 was GGG's DREAM fight RTARD!

Also Khan jumped up one weight class and 1 lb. Brook jumped up TWO FULL weight classes for Mr 154-168 BUT ONLY at 160.

147-155= 8 lbs

147-160=13 lbs

Brook would of had a much better chance at 155. Even an idiot like you knows this.
