    He did say. It had to do with getting the fight with Pacquiao. He did’t sound like he had any problem with GBP, but GBP didn’t want him to deal with Arum because GBP and Top Rank we’re in litigation at the time. So when Mosely signed the fight GBP dropped Mosely as a partner.

    Boxing needs this fight between real fighters.

    I think son of headbutt or son of ballsack also have equal merit.

    That sucks for Mosley, especially since Jin did a number on him. I wonder how money he’s lost because of Oscar’s vengeance.

    Son of Clinching is good too.
    Kovalev called him Son of Judges in the 24/7 episode leading up to the 2nd fight.

    Oscar is a crook, Arum was Oscar's promoter.................Lomachenko should fight another champion at 130, or go to Japan, whatever, but Oscar will cheat him..................

    Bob Arum interviewed by G. Leon (boxingtalk):

    "...
    GL: Is Lomachenko's next fight taking shape or what?
    BA: "Todd (Duboef) has had talks with Honda about Jorge Linares. Honda and Oscar De La Hoya are co-promoters, but Honda is the senior promoter and he asked that we negotiate through him, so we rely on Honda to talk to Oscar, and we're hoping that fight takes place in May."

    GL: Ok, so Vasyl Lomachenko is no longer fighting on April 28th.
    BA: "That is correct, one of the reasons being that Linares wasn't ready to fight in April."

    GL: Obviously you give Linares no chance to beat Lomachenko, but how do you compare him to some of Loma's biggest fights, guys like Russell Jr, Walters, Rigondeaux?
    BA: "Who knows? He's going up in weight, so that could be a challenge. Linares is a terrific fighter who is a good boxer and a good puncher, so it's a tough, tough fight. Whenever a guy goes up in weight you have to wonder if he'll keep his power and so forth, but I look at Lomachenko as one of the greats, so I think he'll win the fight, but it's not a walk in the park, it's a tough fight."
    ..."

    Nard is little more than a shill for Oscar these days. He knows where his bread is buttered.

    Agreed. He is a shrewd shill. Sometimes I wonder if he even believes the good things he says about some of the GBP fighters.

    It's a rumor for now, though :) I've been unable to find any confirmations.

    Hopefully it gets done despite GBP being the impediment. TR should have a back up plan for the May 12, i would hate to see Loma lose that date and have his career trajectory stalled due to Cocaine Oscar and his cast of freaks.
