Oscar is getting pretty good at "selling ice to Eskimos himself" For instance, he talked Millie into going abstinant for five months and now letting him meditate for a few more off the coast of Puerto Rico; He got Mayorga and Don King to accept less than half the money in their last fight, He got his trainer to kick Margarito out of camp for punching to hard; He got boxrec to place all of his fighters in the top-ten and even over fighters they lost to; He has Hopkins, Mosely, and Barrera promoting him to the Latin and Afroamerican crouds; He has the white population adoring him even though he does not seem to promote or hire any white people; He tells the judge that he could not remember that girl because he had 500 girls in the last month and then gets off scott free; He partly got away with stealing the contender idea from Leonard and Stalone before it ever aired; Has everyone thinking he is a saint yet uses the Lord's name in vain on public T.V.; becomes quick friends with Dr. Phil; Sells his own books, paintings and songs; gets interviewed and invited on talk shows about 10 times more than any other boxing figure.
However he is still an angel compared to Don King.
