As the owner of Golden Boy Promotions, Mayweather's promoter by proxy, he has a clear financial interest in the fight to happen. Arum is threatening to match Pac up with Malignaggi or Foreman instead of the deal with PBF does not happen. Both are not under GBP. Second, he is also the owner of Ring Magazine. The publication is the undisputed publication of the industry, which includes the mythical Pound for Pound ranking and Ring's own championship "belt." He is now putting his .02 regarding the Mayweather and Pacquiao debacle. No matter if he is pro Pac or May he should recuse himself from criticizing or praising either fighter in regards to this fight. ODLH is playing with Ring's credibility like a rich boy's toy. Soon enough Ring will have the credibility of one of the sanctioning body like WBC and WBO. Oscar De La Hoya is a total as$.
He is what he is. I've always had ambivalent feelings about Oscar. He's done a lot of good and a significant amount of not so good. But as a promoter his job is kind of to be an ass. It's unavoidable.
