Oscar DelaHoya wants to be a Tyrant to have Totalitarian Control & Monopolize Boxing

No what the sport needs is no more exclusive contracts with promoters or networks, let them bid against each other and have the higher dollar win. That benefits the fans and the boxers. Thats the way it used to be. With fighters as essentially promotional and network free agents the sport would be much better off. less promoters is only a benefit when you have a situation like the gridlock between GBP and Arum, the problem is thats a situation where both essentially want a monopoly, if that happens we as fans lose. plain and simple.

 

Which promoter doesn't want complete control of the boxing game?

 

fixed fights?.....how come gb got fukked onesidedly?

 

I think it might suck at first but it might bring back a true champ to every division in the long run.

 

well, I actually think it was nice of Oscar to try and conceal from Ortiz and Campbell that GBP is making 750k from their fight and both fighters would just get about 100k apiece.

he tried to prevent the two from feeling like they're getting screwed over.

 

Golden Boy is a much better promotional outfit than Top Rank, in my opinion. And Oscar's beliefs/desires are shared by Arum, King, Shaw, etc. Lou DiBella seems to be the coolest and most down to earth.

 

There are pros and cons to Oscar's proposal but ultimately it would be better for the fans so I'm not opposed to the idea.

 

How can you still be pissed he beat Chavez twice?

 

This.

 

Exactly. Nearly every promoter out there is just as bad.

 

Self serving and egotistical... but this is the path to a unified governing body.

Put aside how much you dislike Oscar and Bob for a moment. It's what yall want right, one controlling body?

 

Ask Larry Holmes who a tyrant is. Promoters only look after themselves.
