Listen from 1:23
- de La Hoya says that Dana should've paid his fighters more so they wouldn't fight in their 40s.
- Journalist asks him what about guys in the event who got $1K
- DLH: "these these are amateurs"
- Journalist: "But amateurs do not get paid"
- DLH: "they're 4 rounders 3 rounders"
- Journalist: "Everyone in your card was 3 rounder"
- DLH: "This is my first show first show first show, it was a success"
 
...lol...Oscar doesnt even know how many rounds guys were fighting on his card...smh

Sometimes I feel the whole Golden Boy MMA's purpose is some kind of a money laundering scheme.
Heck, it's not even good enough to get some side money from sports bets...
 
Would have been the perfect comedy sketch if the camera had panned down at the end and Oscar was in fishnets.
 
LMAO. That reporter legit DESTROYED him.

We need someone like that to interview Dana in that tone.

This guy is actually the guy who confronted Dana White about Greg Hardy and Ostovich being in the same card:


Now check how Dana speaks with him. No aggression, all defensive, no expletives, tries to be as logical as possible.
I think he knows that this guy is not on Helwani level...
 
"It was a great success" x3


Hmmm somehow i have my doubts

Well, he says that the rating reports were false!

Who would YOU believe - shady media or a boxing legend?

Eh, I'd say it's also a top provider of unintentional comedy.

I actually hoped that it would bring some change to MMA landscape...with his ability to promote in boxing.
So it's all has been more of a disappointment than a comedy to me.
 
This guy doesn't understand modern day journalism, you're not supposed to ask tough questions, just shill for the companies and get paid, goof.

Well, my condolences then.

But you know the saying, if life gives you lemons...

This guy works for TSN Canada.
Canadian fans have biggest attendance and TSN will broadcast UFC in Canada instead of ESPN+.

He can ask Dana any questions he wants and in the end of the interview Dana will give him VIP tickets for him, his wife and his beaver.

Didn't people say the same thing about Helwani and Fox?
