De La Hoya: I want to eliminate all competition

[ElTerribleMorales]

ODH wants a monopoly on fighters, so does Arum, King and Warren. Boxing would be ruined if that happens.

how so? if one promoter had all the rights to every fighter there would be no need to shield a fighter, seeing how they would get all the profits regardless

They could also lock out other fighters and tell fighters exactly what they were going to pay them. There would be no options or bargaining power for a fighter if one guy controlled everything. If a fighter wasnt happy with their purse they would just put them on the shelf and forget about them like King did to many fighters. Its a bad idea that will never happen. Oscar is no saint for boxing.

how's this any different from the UFC?

You're missing the point. Who's saying the UFC is a good thing? Bulldog is 100% right. UFC creates a better product for the fans but it's shit for the fighters.

Career and choice of employer options good...no options bad. Not every chef wants to work at Piccadilly.

What a douche, "I wanna be dictator of boxing" is basically what I am hearing. Pretty soon it may turn out like that, he will probably outlive all the old guys, so we need some young promoters to give him competition. He is confused I think, one commision and sanctioning body, yeah that sound cool. But one promoter..no thanks. Thats like the NFL having one agent. If there was some kind of pay structure in place across the board maybe but there isnt.

Controlling Boxing is just the beginning. Oscar got bigger ambitions than that. Oscar looking to be the first Golden President in US history. Give him 20 years. He get there.

I think you're right. High aspirations take lower steps.

Manny will be president of the Philippines by then.

Cool, they can go tag team and serve a belting on that fuk who runs North Korea.
