De La Hoya...How does he keep up the farce?

You know how fighters put "rounds in the bank" in the course of fights? He's put "years in the bank" in the course of his career and made a celebrity of himself. He could lose five in a row and headline a PPV (with halfway decent numbers), I'd wager.

 

He can sell a sumo match to aborginals

 

5 loses in a row would be too much even for Tyson at the height of his popularity!

For whatever it's worth DLH losses have only come at the hands of future HallofFamers and his last fight was vs. the top fighter in the sport!

 

Money, its a common answer to most questions actually

 

i cant see why odh is still worth a damn penny, i mean he has not belts not even a top 10 p4p guy.he is not a promoter 1st and boxer 2nd, what ever his secret is, it must be a pretty damn good one.

 

But of course you will give PBF plenty of credit for beating him:hey

 

It's all about $$$$

His stardom reaches outside die-hard boxing fans to casual fans and people who know nothing about boxing and rarely or never watch it.

You ask most people to name some current boxers (besides DLH) and they'll say "um, Mike Tyson, and the guy who got his ear bitten off by Tyson."

Most people know who DLH is and they believe that since he gets media attention and is good-looking, has charisma, he must be good, but he actually sucks.

 

It's what he did for Boxing, he brought exitement to boxing when it was suffering. He fought the best, and even when he lost he was still the fighter everybody wanted to fight to get that payday. Now he's a succesfull promoter, and still fighting. He's one hell of a buissnes man. he owns Magazine publications, charter schools in the LA area, is a big celebrity in countries as far as Belarus and the united arab emerites.

Anybody fights Oscar becomes an instant Millionair, win or lose.

 

he's just following your lead:deal you gave cotto credit for beating mosley why wouldn't floyd get the same credit for beating a younger de la hoya:deal

 

He don't mean **** to me. The last Oscar fight that I bought was against Hopkins. Never again.

I'm not giving him another penny.

GBP can suck my Sopcast!:smoke

 

This is why DLH sells Mad PPV and their is no empty seats at his fights

 

Like if he needed your pennies...

 

He keeps coming up with fights by fighting big name fighters. I hate Oscars fan base as much as the next guy, but I must admit he has fought very good competition and has a fan-friendly fighting style.

 

Ask his fans....
