    heres why.
    1.he doesn't run golden boy, he's just the face of the company.
    2. he talks absolute nonsense, when judah and his team were locked in a room during the garcia press conference he blatantly lied and said that they were being unprofessional for not turning up when they were told to wait. Judah then exposes him and oscar seems lost for words.
    3. He'll never admit that some fighters who are not in his stable are too dangerous (eddie hearn and DiBella have both send that GGG in too much of a risk) for his own fighters, he'll talk some crap on a social media network on how'd he would have made short work of them in his prime, he's blatantly saying he's scared of seeing his fighters lose.
    4. he Was never that great of a fighter, in his prime he was easily given gift decisions against ike quartey and pernell whitaker, it was his own fault for losing in the championship rounds against trinidad who on earth runs in the championship rounds.

    the exploitation he pulled with josesito lopez is some of the worst ive seen in boxing. buying off judges(Stanley chrsitodoulou/trout) is one thing but fuc-king with a fighters health is another.

    and now a judge has ruled kirklands contract invalid?

    how often does a fighter, singer, sports figure or actor sign a contract with a company and is able to get out of it? I cant think of one known performer successfully getting out of a contract.

    and all I can think of is fraud as a reason.

    dlh is sh-it and it will be a pleasure to see ggg wreck through quillen and canelito.

    with mattyhsse in all likelihood completely jumping onto haymon gbp wont have much left.

    De la Hoya was bad for boxing as a fighter and as a promoter.

    Like anything that involves large amounts of money, boxing is corrupt. It always has been, it's just something us fans have to put up with because nothings changing. Not ever.

    Stop crying you've already gotten 1 of the 2 biggest fights of the year and they are both coming from his company. So have a seat.

    Oscar has lived a charmed life. Quite frankly a little of that guy goes a long way.

    You are on to something but Dlh is far from being the biggest joke in boxing. He's just a rookie when it comes to talking up his fighters.

    What are you talking about, Oscar is an ATG and one of the best fighters of his generation.

    You make some valid points but at the end you sound biased. If you think he was robbed against some guys you must admit he beat Tito. You don't get extra points in the championship rounds. Moreover one of the judges gave one of those rounds to Oscar to balance his corrupted score card.

    no that is incorrect I dont like him either but the money he generated, the casual fans he got to watch him etc. is unprecedented I dont even think Tyson generated as much money per fight as him, Mayweather would not be known to the general public if he didn't fight him(Mayweather was a top fighter and a pound for pound fighter all his life no one knew or cared who the **** he was till the Gatti and Oscar fight sorry that's a undeniable fact) yes yes other than actual boxing fans but were not the target audience. Golden Boy has produced good fights and tends to put there fighters against overly dangerous opposition at times like when they put Ortiz in against Maidana. Oscar was a beast at lightweight back in the day too. Not bad for boxing dont get me wrong he's a liar and a piece of **** who likes womens clothing but he is a promoter.
