Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Canelo: 'I've Built A SuperstarI Should Feel Proud Of That'

[JakeTheBoxer]

De la Hoya made a superstar from Canelo. Mexican nationality was the key. If Canelo was Russian or American, he would be such a star as Andrade or Bivol.

Hopefully, Garcia, Ortiz, Munguia all stay on board. I do not want to read about or see lingerie pics & ******* again online.

It’ll be interesting to see if Oscar can keep GB relevant or even stay in business without Canelo

Since PBC pillaged GB stable Canelo was The only Asset that GB had that they could leverage To platforms to give them additional Dates for the rest of their Stable. Without that Bargaining Chip in Their pocket they might have a problem getting dates where they’re the Lead Promoter

I don't see a star here, not longterm at least.

" the crux of the contention was that DAZN, citing the ongoing pandemic, wanted to lower its contractual fee of $35 million per fight with Alvarez." Wrong! The writer of this article should do minimal research. DAZN never cited the pandemic for lower the fee. They were very explicit in saying that they would only pay the contracted amount if Canelo fought GGG, Oscar himself or a couple of MMA guys. Every other fight would mean a pay cut including fights with any champion at any 168 lbs or any other weight class.

No Cap from Oscar

Well I mean, Oscar ain’t lying about that. He really did a great job at turning Canelo into a household name.

I really can’t see Ortiz doing something like that. He has a good head on his shoulders and is very mature for someone his age.

I'm still amazed Canelo never spoke English. Canelo really about to do his whole career without a single interview in English. Given that Canelo could not be featured on any show in US, Oscar did a pretty good job.

I agree and I think it’s too soon to tell with Garcia. Even if he disposes of Campbell quickly with that fight now tentatively scheduled for Dec 26th, I will still need to see more from Garcia.

Becoming a star isn't that easy. Look at Lopez. He beat Loma but that still hasn't moved the needle. Nobody knows Lopez.
