It’s easy to forget based on the second half of his career, but in Floyd’s first half of his career he was a genuine badass who couldn’t draw flies to ****. Remember when he was fighting for the WW championship in Detroit (his home state) and people were booing and jayz was shown leaving around the 10th round? Well, Floyd had his image makeover and would go on to become the highest earning athlete in sports...and doing this by ducking fights the fans wanted to see. He’d say things like, “I’m the goat! I’m better than Robinson, Ali and Leonard cuz they all got losses and I ain’t got no losses.” “Who Margarito be? He ain’t ****, he got losses. I ain’t gonna fight no guy with losses. Who Martinez? I ain’t never heard of him.” And then he’d sign to fight Robert Guerrero and say he’s giving the fans what they want. He became so obnoxious and hypocritical that people began to hate him and millions paid $80-$100 to see him fight Victor Ortiz! I know I did. I bought into the Ortiz is young, strong, athletic, left handed nonsense...how was I to know that Victor was going to try to kiss him? Anyway, Floyd parlayed being a scoundrel into $500 million; you can’t argue with his results. My thinking is that Oscar is copying Floyd and here’s why-Oscar has obviously been on a serious PR losing skid. The fishnets scandal, Richard Schaefer siphoning off GBP’s fighter’s to Al Haymon, dui arrests, Clenelo losing respect for his catchweight fights, his ridiculous scorecards, blatantly ducking GGG and vacating the wbc belt after all they’d done for him, damn near decapitating poor Khan, finally fighting Golovkin after all of the A side diva drama and getting a sickening draw, posting selfies of his ripped physique only to test positive for Clenbuterol two weeks later etc. and then, of course, another leaked incident in which Oscar filme sodomizing himself with kitchen utensils! Seriously, what is there left for Oscar to do? There’s an old Hollywood expression, “There’s no bad publicity, just spell my name right.” This is where the mayweather blueprint comes into play. Instead of being ashamed, just double down, step on the gas and begin saying the most ridiculous things; Have your VP claim that Abel Sanchez is a crackhead, when in fact Oscar is the documented coke abuser. Claim that Clenelo will be taking VADA tests daily to clear his name and then a week later he declare that will not take any tests until he has a signed contract. Refuse to strip Clenelo of his Ring championship belt in spite of the Ring’s policy that states a positive drug test is an automatic stripping. Blame Golovkin for the rematch being cancelled. Act indignant and smarmy and antagonising to Team Golovkin. While all of this makes an honest man shudder, I’m sure that Oscar and Clenelo are figuring on generating many more ppvs. What are your thoughts?
You summed it up perfectly, but i dont think its an act... he is legit an out of the closet, coke demon Freak.
Oscar seems to have a way with the judges, no way was Linares winning the fight and it was Trella who had El Pollo winning the 7th round that even the blind, corrupt idiot Byrd had Golovkin winning............is suspect Oscar and the judges for sure.........
