Did any of you think that when Oscar...

Post by soonermark890 »

Got into the promotion game that he would be on the up and up? I remember when he started Golden Boy thinking finally we have a promoter who will be for the fighters and will be honest. Because Oscar of all people had been fucked over by corrupt judges. I thought for sure he would do what is right by the fighters. And then he ...

Kind of sad but we definitely have a case of "If You Cant Beat Em" here.

I thought the same thing had crazy high hopes but when they pulled the Judas on him it changed GBP completely. Then the pictures and his addiction problems came to light and that light dimmed. Now he has to ride Canelo or it crumbles and that hill is steep. Maybe that's why he's getting his hands into MMA.

I'm sorry, who did you say that Oscar's original promoter was? You know, the guy he learned everything from?

Allright then. :lol:

The boxing business is a dirty game and I can't recall one in history that has never gotten his hands dirty. You would think Oscar could avoid the temptation of the dark side, but in the end the bottom line is the bottom line. Plus, cocaine, hookers and what not.

I did too Sooner and while I can't blame Oscar completely he def has his hands dirty too... Boxing to me is the best sport in the world but the business of boxing is what has been holding the sport back for decades w/ no end in sight....

Too much money just to leave to things up to the talent of your fighters. There isn’t one “clean” boxing promoter.

I almost can’t even blame the guy either, as mentioned earlier, what Schaefer did to him was one of the biggest promoter on promoter snake moves I’ve ever witnessed. Left him in a really bad spot

Didn't he also say how he wouldn't play the whole waiting game with fights?

He became everything he said he would not. He fell into the darkness like the cocaine he puts up his nose. I was so happy when he became a promoter. I thought he would clean up the sport. Not make it three levels dirtier. I did not expect this from him.
On fight night Canelo weighed 177 pound and GGG weighed 168.2. But Canelo says the fight for his 160 pound belt must be at 155 pounds. She should just give her belt to GGG now and move on.
