The RepubliKa

Cable giant HBO and Boxing Promotional Company Golden Boy Promotions publicly broke up yesterday in what can only be called a Mexican Novela.   No one really knows why they made this public, this could’ve been dealt behind the scenes and spared us of the embarrassment this all is.   What this tells us the level of hate that both companies have for each other.    Oscar de la Hoya claims that his company is the one that will save boxing.  Ever since he entered the promotional world he said that his company was fighter focused.  Well, we now know that all of this was B.S.  Oscar is just like everybody else, including his arch nemesis, Bob Arum of Top Rank Inc.   Twitter has become Oscar’s best and worst ally.  It seemed as a spoiled kid was tweeting out of his account all of yesterday as he retweeted encouragement by followers and cheerleaders around the boxing world, as if to justify what his company had just done.   In my humble opinion, his cold war with Bob and HBO is destroying what little is left of my favorite sport.  The only one left smiling is Dana White, president of the increasingly popular MMA giant, UFC who benefits of every stupid move the boxing world does to itself.
