The Reasons why de la Hoya-Chavez Jr. will happen in 09.

Ok, I just read a great sports blog by some author on Fight News, in the News Articles section, about DLH-Chavez Jr. In the article, he talks about how the "Torch was passed" in June of 96, from the Legendary Julio Sr. unto Oscar when Oscar opened up the cut with his jab, and the ref stopped the fight, and then again, how it happened in the Rematch in 1998. How Oscar was then, the True Superstar of Boxing. Except for one little thing.

The Mexican and Chicano/Latino fanbases. To put it mildly, a lot of Chavez hardcore fans and Chicanos who had grown up watching Duran and Ayala and Pryor, and Arguello and Sanchez, and Tommy Cordova, Tapia and Chacon, ect. did not appreciate Oscar's "matinee idol looks" and effeminate voice. They wanted a warrior in the ring, a street brawler "Cholo" type with boxing skills, not Ricky Martin with boxing gloves. This was further highlighted when Oscar fought Charpentier in El Paso Texas, and there were women throwing panties at him. I and my collegues, have since the late 90's been accused of "being angry" because Oscar could "take my girlfriend away" (Ironically enough, in light of the recent Fishnet Photos, I'd be more concerned with him coming on to one of my male buddies, not any girlfriends)

The anger had more to do with Oscar de la Hoya taking on and basically humiliating the Patron Saint of Mexico, Julio Cesar Chavez, who back then to Mexico, was what Pele was to Soccer, what Jordan of the Championship eras was to basketball, what Broadway Joe was to New York, and what Ali was to the people of Zaire in 74. An Icon, a Saint, a REPRESENTATIVE. Oscar, in defeating the Greatest Son of Mexico, basically took a **** on the main Altar at the Vatican, while Benedict was giving mass.

That being said, here are a few reasons why this fight will go down in 09. Actually, 1.25 million reasons.

1. PPV Revenue. No other fighter (And I agreee, this is Pathetic, Dana White makes some awesome points) in Boxing can do this. A former WWF Champion with a tatt of a dick on his chest can generate the PPV revenue that Bernard Hopkins and Joe Calzaghe could not. Only de la Hoya can guarantee over a million PPV buys, regardless of the ass whipping he took from that Chinese Fellow.

2. Pride. Oscar doesnt want to go out like that. No fighter really does. Oscar has an ego even bigger than Tony Romo's. He wants to go out on top, a/la DLH-Vargas.

3. Greed. Oscar is a businessman FIRST. He has a business to run, employees need to be paid, fighters need Training Expenses paid, ect. Him fighting 2 times this year will guarantee at least 35 million in Purse monies.

4. Warped Thinking. In Oscar's mind, if he KO's Jr. somehow the people of Mexico will finally accept and love him. Thats like a **** fantasy, of a ****** imagining that the woman under him, will be brought to a tremendous orgasm, when in reality, she is praying for it to be over.

5. Other than a 200 pound Trinidad, there is no one else. Hatton doesnt want it, the people wont pay for Bruce Lee Jr.-DLH 2, and Floyd Jr. is a moot point. But this fight will sell because of the Revenge Factor.

Comments, thoughts, ESB?:smoke

 

Interesting points. Based on Oscar's and Jr's last performances, I'd say Jr. wins this one, pretty big. If Oscar inexplicably decides to fight in Aztec Stadium, he had better hire a Brigade of Navy Seals to get him out of there alive if he wins, however.

 

This is boxing, sweetie, not Professional Basketball. This isnt Pro Basketball players not being allowed to dress "Gangsta" at the games, doing the "GQ" look instead as they "Represent the League" (A policy I consider Nazi-sh and gay) This is Boxing. This is Mike Tyson punching Mitch Green in the eye in a street fight at 4am at Dapper Dans, and then Mitch Green ripping the mirror off of his Bentley as they speed off. This is Larry Holmes drop kicking Trvor Berbick off the roof of a car with cops surrounding Berbick, because Berbick pissed him off. This is Hasim Rahman and Lennox Lewis wrestling at ESPN Studios and destroying a table. This is Johnny Tapia having to be dragged away kicking and screaming after the decison in his rematch with Ayala. This is Yoel Judah and Uncle Roger walking towards each other with murder in their eyes, when Floyd took the second low blow. This is Zab grabbing the ref by the throat. This is Mike Tyson, biting Evander's ear off and spitting it on the canvas. This is one of Boew's thugs whacking Golota on the head with a phone in the middle of a riot.

This is Professional Boxing. **** the NBA and it's corrupt referees and Commissioner. :good

 

What positive things? The Fishnets fiasco? Beating up poor Yori Boy Campas and paying him with 400 dollars and a couple of autographed photos? Running away from Trinidad in 99? Quitting against Hopkins in 04? No Mass'ing it against Pac in December? Charging fans 54 dollars for PPV and then providing **** undercards? Beating up an aged Mexican Legend and then being confused as to why the people of Mexico hate his ass?

 

Because if you followed this sport, you would KNOW that at the time, the IBF Champion, Mr. Tszyu was considered "The Man"....ask Zab Judah why Oscar avoided him like Boy George avoids the Playboy Mansion.

 

Sure, like his GBP Christmas Giveaways. They are pretty cool and held in East LA for the more poor kids. Oscar hires a guy to play Santa Claus and rents a suit, and a Mariachi band. He also purchases toys, at a wholesale discount from Toys R Us, and has a BBQ for the kiddies, hot dogs and chips and burgers, ect. And Christmas Candy for everyone and some GBP Lackeys to go out there and help out. He wont show up himself, because little kiddie hands on your Armani jacket can get chocolate stains on it, and these jackets are very expensive.

Now in your warped world, Oscar is doing this "To give back to the Community" And if it werent for the fact, that each last reciept for the hot dogs (And everything else, including the rented Santa Suit) goes straight to a GBP Accountant, I'd be gulible enough to believe you.

Tax Write Off. Typical Oscar. Always thinking of April 15th....and the kids of East LA.
