Kevin Iole from Yahoo! Sports wrote an awesome article on how Golden Boy and Top Rank need to stop the nonsense. Because of the nauseating and childish feud that exists between Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank we the fans are not getting the fights we deserve.
Golden Boy president Oscar De La Hoya has taken to Twitter to continue his feud with Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. On Tuesday, he referred to Arum as “the snake” in a tweet about a Ring column in which Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer laid into Arum with a few shots of his own.
A little more than a week earlier, Arum was tweaking De La Hoya at a post-fight news conference in Houston, referring to a lawsuit filed against De La Hoya by a New York woman who claimed he wore women’s clothes, used drugs and acted extremely oddly.
The three sound more like a group of 13-year-olds rather than businessmen with a vested interest in working together.
Imagine the president and CEO of a leading tire manufacturer feuding with the head of General Motors and refusing to work together to put its tires on GM’s new cars.
That kind of idiocy, though, is exactly what is happening with this disgusting feud. Fans are laughing at Arum, Schaefer and De La Hoya for failing to see the harm they’re doing to their own business.
What’s your opinion?
They really do need to stop the needless fueding because they’re all getting rich or better said staying rich. I’ll say one thing tho if these younger guys think they’re going to push thee old-school Bob Arum around they are insane. Bob has been doing this for a long time and hes not going to let himself get played.
