GRRRR:OSCAR DeLa Hoya sickens me
If it's not his wasting time rematches or picking on smaller fighters,it's his trying to steal all the headlines and make everything about him. Here's why I'm annoyed this time:
It's taken from boxingscene.com/. Gary Shaw is having a rant because Oscar is co-promoter of Isreal Vazquez.
Shaw goes on to detail his annoyance:"This past Tuesday, De La Hoya held a press conference at the Home Depot Center in California to announce his May 3 bout with Steve Forbes. Shaw took offense to the timing of De La Hoya's press tour, because of a possible impact in ticket sales on the Marquez-Vazquez meeting, also taking place at the Home Depot Center, and was also upset with De La Hoya's lack of promotion for this Saturday's bout.
"What happened (Tuesday) was also totally wrong," Shaw said. "This week should belong to two Hall of Fame fighters, Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez, who have literally left their blood on the canvas in two prior fights, and are about to complete their amazingly exciting trilogy Saturday at the Home Depot Center on Showtime."
"That is what this week is all about and should have been all about. Nothing personal against Golden Boy; we are going to sell out anyway. But for the life of me, I will never understand why they did what they did, especially when they co-promote one of the fighters. Why would a promoter try to take the limelight away from one of their own fighters? This should have been Israel's time, not Oscar's."

Oscar an egomaniac? I'm not convinced.
Congratulations though for being the first person to ever start a thread with a GRRRR. Never been done before.

I'm with you on this, Gamo.
On fightnews.com there is an Oscar quote that says...
"Giving back is what it's all about for that weekend,"

Exactly!(I think) I'm just annoyed,he could help promote his fighter,make this fight reach the masses and attract alot more fans to boxing/give the fans something to cheer about. I hate seeing fights like Rafa v Isreal and a few others not get mentioned just because it doesn't feature 2 names. It'll be more exciting than Oscar v Floyd:the glorified sparring session part2.

I don't like forbes but I do hope he beats the shyt out of oscar. Hopefully by knock out so we can say steve did it but floyd couldnt. I don't want it to go to decision cause oscar may pull another sturm on us.
Re: GRRRR:OSCAR DeLa Hoya sickens me
Has any BIG NAME of boxing ever fought for free on television and also having tickets as cheap as ODLH? I wonder.
If ODLH faces someone who's smaller "Oh ,he sucks!"
If ODLH faces someone who's a challenge "Oh, he sucks!"
If ODLH retires "Oh, he sucks!"
Is there anything ODLH can do that's acceptable? :confused:

How about promote the boxers he has contracted with.
Re: GRRRR:OSCAR DeLa Hoya sickens me
I read what gary Shaw said and I disagreed. I understand what you're saying Gamo, but when a fight is made, it's gotta be announced sometime, and the limelight will be taken away from someone no matter when its announced. Anyone with half a brain knows the importance of this weekend.
Does this mean you'd be pissed a Trinidad for turning up at the Cotto-Mosley fight and constantly jumping on a chair every time they mentioned his fight with Jones? Promotion is promotion...and if it generates interest in boxing, who the fuck cares?

I was going to say that ;D. But then, you would hear others complain because he didn't live longer to face someone challenging and so on :rolleyes:.
Re: GRRRR:OSCAR DeLa Hoya sickens me
Oscar has done to much for the sport for me to mad at the guy.
Re: GRRRR:OSCAR DeLa Hoya sickens me
THe Golden boy argument, as per Dan Rafael of ESPN.COm/Boxing is that 1) the press conference was schedule by the facility, not golden boy, 2) Golden boy promotes Vasquez and has a financial interest in him, accordingly a substantial part of the press conference was devoted to hyping the Vasquez fight, and 3)The fight is not on pay per view, so there is no concern over pay per view buys(which is the reason the promoter pay eachother the courtesy of not trying to steal the limelight of a fight that is about to happen).
