I gotta be honest unless things change with the UFC Im kinda over it. McGregor makes 30 million to fight for 30 second and they dont want to pay us a fraction of it. Contemplating just going to 205 knocking out my contract and scrapping with @jakepaul That sounds fun.

"The rankings are terrible"... How so? Why not ask Oscar to provide examples? He says there was an international group of writers determining the rankings when he owned it. That hasn't changed. He says the writing is biased. Ask him to name the biased articles in the magazine.
Oscar De La Hoya says The Ring has 'gone to shit' and hopes a new owner can restore its credibility amid reports DAZN could acquire it: "The Ring brand and the magazine, it’s gone to shit. It’s no secret. It’s worthless. It doesn’t mean anything anymore. The reputation, its credibility… Jesus. The rankings are terrible, the propaganda, the bias… oh my God. Have you seen The Ring show with Max Kellerman? It is so bad. I really do hope that the next entity, if it’s being sold, that buys it, I hope they restore it to its original [form], because The Ring was a trusted brand globally when I had it. And now it’s literally just gone to shit."

When Oscar lost to Tito Trinidad,it was his 3rd fight of the year. He fought Ike Quartey🇬🇭 in February,came back and stopped Oba Carr in April,then fought Tito in September. We’re talking about the biggest star in the sport taking on “3 straight” tough challenges,no tune ups.

I was just trying to see if you was really ducking @VergilOrtiz now I see. @Timbradleyjr asked you if you had the opportunity to go up and fight @Canelo and you said you belt hunting. Now I don’t have a belt so what the excuse now? I wanna hear this.

They said… In the past, there were equal opportunities for competition, and we were unafraid of entering any opponent's territory. Regardless of victory or defeat, the essence lay in challenging oneself and confronting adversaries whom others would prefer we avoid or do not anticipate us facing. No stone was left unturned when he entered the ring, his immense courage is what distinguished him as a remarkable fighter. #Boxing #Kingkhan

🚨 Ilia Topuria just released a statement following the loss to Justin Gaethje last night "Justin, congratulations. You said you’d leave your mark on my face… and you did. You took the sight from my right eye in the first round, and by the end of the second, from my left too. No excuses. I had one of the best camps of my life. I came in sharp, prepared, and ready. Last night was your night. That’s the nature of this game. Glory and pain walk side by side. I’ll heal. I’ll rest. And I’ll return stronger, wiser, and far more dangerous. And trust me… this story between us is far from over. We will have our rematch."

I think it's time we all recognize the NBA has a great creative team and writers. Wow. What a story! Texas heels rout hometown heroes in the 1st half at the World's Most Famous Arena (@TheGarden ), only for the babyfaces to perform the greatest comeback EVER! My compliments!

I believe Terrance left more of his legacy on the table. Just my opinion. Undisputed don’t mean anything if you know truly you didn’t challenge yourself. I’m speaking from knowing boxing and speaking from the heart as a fighter. Not just some random that can only see the surface level of the game

Hey everyone, I wanted to address Dana White’s comments from this past weekend, because the truth matters to me and the fans. Dana, you were heated about why I’m not on the White House card, but let’s clear something up. My team and I were actually negotiating with the UFC for that fight. Real negotiations. I even came down from my original number, and what was I offered in return ? I was lowballed . Yes, I have arthritis in my hip and it’s painful, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fight. So let me get this straight, if I had accepted the lowball offer, suddenly my hip would be fine and I’d be on the White House card? That doesn’t make sense. I even received stem cell treatment last week to get ready for the White House card, and training camp was scheduled to start today. I was preparing to be ready. I understand business deals fall through sometimes, but going out publicly and saying things that aren’t true isn’t right. After everything I’ve given to the UFC , the years, the title defenses, the fights , hearing that I’m “done” is disappointing. Especially when as recently as Friday UFC was calling me trying to get me on that White House card for a much lower number. If the UFC truly feels like I’m done, then I respectfully ask to be released from my contract today. No more spins, no more games. Thank you to the real fans who know what’s up. Bones out.
