Check Mate, Dana... ( Golden Boy MMA )

[dembones22]

So it appears that boxing promoter and part time cosplay enthusiast Oscar De La Hoya is considering starting a MMA promotion in addition to his successful boxing promotion.

And who is he in talks with to jump on in this endeavor ? Oh, just Charles " The Ice Man " Liddell !!

Zuffa Boxing ?? CHECK MATE DANE'R !!



THOUGHTS ??

Interesting. I wonder how the contracts will be structured.

 

[TheBulletwithWings]

Yes, because getting washed up Chuck is better than having prime Chuck for many years.
Smart scouting there Oscar!

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Here's a check, mate.

It's not that far yet. I for one would like to see boxing and MMA matches on the same card. I am a fan of both and they compete in a ring pride style. I'm tired of having to pick between MMA and boxing. Put them both on the same card !

Obviously he is interested in Chuck because he is well known and has a fan base.

How is the creation of a new MMA promotion "check-mate" for Dana White? Do you know what "check-mate" means?

Oh c'mon now. We're talking about full cards and bringing the best from the top org in the sport. How much $$ do you think that is?

 

[Streeter]

Yay........ let's have MMA devolve into a sport where the best only fight the best after many many years and bullshit negotiations first ...... n tbey mean while fight only fights tbey know they win in between. We should welcome Oscar to mma as this is what we really want right?

Idiots hate Dana ...... yeah he is a pos as,a person but...... Dana is tbe reason we get the fights we get..

Well known about 10 years ago.

He's looking to discover talent and acquire key free agents like Chuck Liddell or similar drawing power.

I think Chuck Would draw more than say a Fedor, but that's just my opinion.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Granted, I don't follow the sport as much a I did, but I have only heard of a handful of these boxers

Is Golden Boy really a top tier promotional company?

I thought once Richard Schaefer left, the company lost some key folks.
