What if you were Oscar

[SlimTrae]

I think Oscar learned that boxing, is similar to politics: it is an entity designed corruptive from its inception. It can't be changed.

His early endeavors were good intentions, initially. Guys like Bojado to Ortiz were given tests we wanted to see. Hey....they came up short.
And I think Pacquiao fucked over DLH. Once Arum snatched him away..DLH IMO began thinking more like the promoters he claimed to detest.

Canelo not fighting GGG is probably the result of DLH's thinking in the interest of GBP as opposed to the fans.

If so, I don't agree with it....but I understand how\why he is running his Corp.

Oscar is then running it into the ground and shows no integrity. If GGG struggles in his next fight and Canelo is suddenly ready, that makes them even worse gimps than I think they are already.

I can envision a pro Mexican crowd turning against Canelo midway through the fight.

I do not justify but where is it etched in stone that they have to be the most stupid?
1) Mexicans are not supposed to box and must come face first and brawl. ODLH boxed and the judges penalized him against Trinidad. A style black & white fighters are given high recognition for and Mexican fighters are castrated for.
2) Pacquiao never fought a top undefeated prospect. Pacquiao fought nothing but marque names on their decline. He always discredited their record based on opponents bringing little to the PPV stage based on body of work, same with Mayweather. So the Mexican can not do this?
3) common opponents help us as fans imagine result of PPV event and drive sales. GGG chooses to not fight a Canelo opponent and tear down what Canelo has built up by destroying his resume and creating a demand.
4) No Mexican could go 10 years like GGG without a big win against a highly recognized champion and have a rabid backing while trying to dictate terms against PPV champion.
5) Black , White and even one filipino PPV champion has dictated terms the last 2 decades. Not a Mexican
6) Hard to digest a new boxing world order with a Mexican PPV star?


This is more of a K2 issue having more to lose than GBP. All they have are the aging Klitschko brothers that have no PPV clout outside of Germany. K2 has to establish themselves in the Americas rather than ride GBP coat tails and try to dictate terms. K2 has no fighters with glamour or PPV stature. K2 HAS NO FIGHTER THAT HAS TAKEN A RISK!



"Mexican Champions Careers Matter"

[Master]

1) Eric Morales was a masterful boxer that went against the mantra that "Mexicans are not supposed to box" and was highly successful.
2) Julio Ceaser Chavez Junior was doing the same.
3) GGG chooses to beat up the best middleweights available most of the time.

This is the one post where I'll agree with you. No way that ever happens.

Hell.... JCC Junior quit on his stool against Fonfara and the Mexican fans still back him.
If they can do that, no way they turn on Canelo.

Sad but true.
