De La Hoya: I want to eliminate all competition

[Spicoli]

Competition is what keeps business successful and thriving. Oscar wants to be a damn Don...not King. We don't need dictators. Maybe he can ensure lifetime contracts for his fellow share holders....and I'm betting Hopkins could last until 65 yrs old

[Violent Demise]

Boxing should turn the keys over to De La Hoya. Let the man fixes what's wrong. If anybody can do it, Oscar can

Giving him absolute power will destroy boxing, no one should have that much power, not good for the boxers.

i think de la hoya is talking out of his ass. eliminating all competition would be bad for boxing and most importantly, boxing fans. this country was founded on a free market. competition is what makes a country great. that's why countries like the united states, england, japan, germany, france, italy and others are the richest because of competition. de la hoya must be smoking wacky-tobaccy if he thinks his plan is going to happen.

Nice play on words there Spicoli.

Mr King is a 4 real killa he would never just roll over for the new Don.

Yeh Kings a walking cartoon but he and Arum always served as counter balance to one another. Competion as shown by Kings early SET ppvs which were the best I've seen. On the flip side though, both of their stubborn arses prevented some great fights from happening, network haggeling and not risking 'franchise' fighters.

A monopoly is not good. It may streamline and simplify early on but it won't last and even more quality fighters will lose 'favor' thus exposure to fans and vice versa. Unified boards and commision are the answer not a self anointed czar with a direct financial interest in contract terms and outcomes. Like ex fighters being involved big time but one man one vote gets sticky.

Getting rid of the Don Kings and the Bob Arums, and "eliminating all competition" are entirely two different things. I don't think too many people will shed a tear when Don King finally hangs them up for good. But there's other young aspiring promoters out there as well. Who the hell made Oscar God? Oh yeah... the very same ones that think his sh*t don't stink and he walks on water. How fukking predictable.

I cant see it would ever happen smoothly, its a huge pie thats already been cut up. Something would have to change dramatically as people wouldnt give up any of their share.

There are so many fighters these days ; Maybe if it did occur one day in the future then it would have to be ran like league ladders within divisions and fight offs with relegation and step ups to make it to the top ladder. Then maybe even separate promoters handling all the separate weights.

I dont know the answer, even some of the top judges are tarred with some hidden brush, Not many but some of their insane calls that are so far from other pro judges that it makes me feel they must be on the take or into side bets.
