If Ryan blasts Campbell he may already have the next superstar in his roster. His ceiling is much higher than Canelo if he can back up his talk in the ring.
No one in the USA will care, Campbell isn’t a star maker
Hopkins on His Golden Boy Status, Schaefer's Departure
During his CEO run, Schaefer handled the majority of the business decisions. He secured numerous television deals, put together record-breaking events, secured lucrative venue deals and brought in a lot of revenue from major sponsors. De La Hoya, who spent years battling his addictions to drugs, sex and alcohol, was seen by most as nothing more than a figurehead for the company.
"At the end of the day, you become a figurehead when you war not physically active in the business, which means the office...the day by day negotiations, signing fighters, making fights, dealing with the ups and downs, dealing with the shenanigans, the rumors...all things that come with being on the frontline as the CEO, who has to manage the operation. Everyone knows, everyone knows, it's no secret. Oscar would have to be honest on who ran the company. Oscar would admit that he had some ups and downs, more downs that affected him from being in the office, but that's not Richard's fault," Hopkins said.
"And that's where Richard's credibility comes in, because he didn't keep the company just afloat, he kept it on top and there's a difference. Again, it's going to be very hard for anybody to say that Richard Schaefer, from the day he began with the company until the day he announced his exit, was not one of the key promoters of our time. That's going to be hard for anyone to discredit him for that..."
"The best way to learn [on the business side] is to be around the best. If I'm a young fighter I want to suck this sponge up, I'll go to a Bernard Hopkins or a Floyd Mayweather, or an Oscar De La Hoya or a Felix Trinidad or a Joe Calzaghe. The point of me saying that is this - I know who ran the company and I know how it benefited from that. Why would I not want to set my allegiance to people who I know for sure that I could trust and that is Richard Schaefer and Al Haymon."
"One thing that is no secret, people are now convinced that I'm no fool. And if they think I'm a fool then they're a bigger fool. The decisions that I've made, the good outweigh the bad with the decisions that I've made in life and that I've made in my career. I've got the utmost respect for Richard and Al Haymon..."
Oscar tries to portray things very different than what they were! He's was coked up, and not handling his business! He wasn't even in attendance for Mayweather vs. Canelo!

Whoa! I wouldn't go that far! Ryan is very popular in the USA, at least on the internet, and Campbell is seen as more of a threat than Gamboa and LSC! I hope he wins, and I hope we get Tank vs. KingRy next! I won't hold my breath, but i do HOPE we get it!

I would LOVE to see that fight. I think Tank pulls out the win and turns into a breakout star because of it but it wont be a win that comes easy. Garcia will test his will and his chin. Just my 2 cents.
If anyone wants buy pre-sale tickets to Garcia vs. CAMPBELL use the promo code FLASH to get acess early to them. My bad should of posted that a couple of days ago.
