Mark This Thread: The Next Big "Money Fight" Is Conor McGregor vs. Oscar de la Hoya

[AronaBeatsJones]

CASE POINTS

• An out-of-shape Oscar de la Hoya talking shit about Conor McGregor is strategic.
• He was entertaining the idea of a Canelo-McGregor bout late last year, then got salty when Mayweather got the big money fight.
• Canelo is a destroyer, and McGregor is smart enough not to take that bout right now, but a post-retirement de la Hoya is a competitive fight.
  
• Top boxing executives now see McGregor as a big money draw who is just scrappy enough to not be a total joke, but more-or-less a squash match for any established boxer.
• De la Hoya brings the Mexican market, McGregor brings the Irish market, and both are record-setting PPV draws in the US.
• De la Hoya will escalate his feud with Dana White over the next year, and they'll settle on a more even 55-45 cut for Golden Boy Promotions to make this fight happen in December 2018.
• Grudge matches between big names: BIG PPV numbers.
• McGregor now transcends MMA, and can make a career fighting other big names. Championships are a total afterthought now.

I don't think De La Hoya is hurting for cash

Lol...at even split if the fight were to happen......

Even a fat old oscar would be the a side.

He was selling ppvs over a million buys while conor was in middle school...

Lol Oscar wins easily, he won't play with him the way Floyd did

 

[Jonathonwick]

Conor is not boxing any time soon. He has 4 fights in his ufc contract and he will fulfill those before stepping foot into a boxing ring

 

[surgeyou1]

Lol at Oscar wins easily. Dude let himself go bigtime.

 

[thechoice2]

Oscar with that coke in his nose and those fishnets on still Undefeated

 

[squatchi26]

Oscar will still ko Conor. Oscar still would have power which Conor does not.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

Conor lost the benefit of the doubt and all the "what if..." factor, I don't think he'll box again.

What is a million dollar ppv? I have never bought one of those.

Fixed it for ya

Meh...conor is a pretty mediocre boxer.

This would probably be both guys best shot at winning a ppv boxing fight in 2017

Red panty night.

Maybe they can have a karaoke contest.
Oscar is an accomplished singer who has released albums.

Common fucking sense. Dana aint going to allow it. Conor jsut got beat . Hes not taking a chance in him losing again. He will face diaz again. Then either woodley or gsp then maybe retire
