Was the fix in?
Even though the fight is now two weeks gone, it seems that people still can’t stop talking about the Floyd Mayweather/Conor McGregor match. While many were entertained by the event, there were individuals, mainly boxing purists, who believed the match to be a farce. One of those many individuals is none other than former boxing superstar turned promoter, Oscar De La Hoya.
Ever since the fight was announced, Oscar De La Hoya was adamant in his detraction of the fight. On numerous occasions he denounced bout and said that it was a disgrace to boxing. Now that the fight has occurred and is set to be the second highest pay-per-view event of all time, Oscar De La Hoya still believes the fight was a farce. He’s even going on to suggest that Floyd Mayweather bet on himself to win in the tenth round and drew the fight out to ensure it would happened just as scripted.
It’s interesting to note that while Oscar De La Hoya denounced this match up, he did at one time suggest that Ronda Rousey would be able to beat Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match. While he could have been joking of course, it is something to think about. With the Gennady Golovkin versus Canelo Alvarez fight just around the corner, interest in boxing is at a all time high. Whether you were a fan of Mayweather versus McGregor or not one thing is certain: it’s gotten more eyes to focus on both boxing and MMA.

It’s true
Lmao if this is true, it’s becuz he hated mayweather lmao ALWAYS trying to find fighters to beat mayweather and claiming he gave them the formula on how to beat him LmmFao gtfoh
Rocky Watson whaddya think?
I think he carried him a bit. The plan was to let McGregor tire himself out
Or just make it a show.
I think it was a show too
Malcolm Adams def agree. He could have taken him out in 3 rounds if he pushed
I say tire out
First round knock out. Connor clearly isn’t boxing material. Imagine if he’d fought GGG or Lomenchenko. ????? #curtains
I totally believe this
Of course he did.
Mayweather could have won at round 5. But he dragged it on. He wanted to entertain his fans. Not illegal is it. He still beat connor fair n square. It was always a money match
?
What fight were you watching mayweather covered up and hardly threw anything de la Hoya won that shit but politics ruled that night
Really funny???
Yet McConnor won more rounds and landed more punches… Mayweather isn’t a boxer, he’s a promoter. Period! ✌?
Sorry to tell you that you are very wrong he tried to put a bet on his own self for the 10th round to knock him out it was all a setup do your homework and you will find out it’s true
Qam Dinn, sounds about right to me. Some others just can’t admit it.
The fight of the century turned out to be the laugh of the century
Stop being a hater oscar
I agree McGregor walked away with 38 million I think so!!
95 million.
I’m on this one with Oscar. I said before.
Dumbass he wanted to prove a point. what better way to do it than DOING IT and not just “talking” about it. fuck your dumb
Dana is 100% correct, youre a fuckin idiot
Whoever writes these articles needs to be fired
I second this
Wait are you telling me the crack team of journalists from “generationiron.com” are not shiny examples of accuracy!? Haah
Fuck mayweather Fuck mcgreggor
Yo mama bitch
Oscar De La Hoya – Salty since 2007
Facts!
Oscar is such a bitter soul
Rigged? Or just strong Conor along for 10 rounds knowing he had literally no chance of beating him
Mike Haubrich
Couldn’t agree more he gave the fans what they wanted to see. He could have ended it waaay sooner.
Oscar should buy a larger size of panties an stop cryin
Those are words of pussy de la Hoya!
James Lad
Omg this guy such a cryl baby. Always complaining mayweather did this mayweather did that
De la Hoya needs to quit boxing, give up golden boy and work as the voice of Dora the Explorer . Oscar de la explorer: Oscar, Oscar, Oscar de la explorer , Oscar esss una locaaaaa, put on your panties, put on your panties, Oscar de la Explorer!!!!
Lol
Willson > Molina
Mr puertorico here just mad that mexican boxers have bet the shit out puerto rican boxers
Lol or Go, Diego, Go. Its Doras cousin
?????
LOOOOL
At least Oscar could knock your fatass into tomorrow.
We all know
Round 9
McGregor lands vicious punch to the ribs
Ref quickly stops Conor from capitalizing on that and broke them up.
No chance in hell he would of stopped the fight if Conor was whooping Floyd like Floyd did to Conor in round 10. No FOOKING way
Let’s say it was a clean body shot even though it looked low to me, what happened right after it? McGregor hugged Floyd from behind and tried to throw his cheap shots it would have been reset either way low blow or clean shot.
Floyd turned his back everytime Conor started getting hot in the later rounds
Lmfao it wasnt close to his ribs dumbass, go watch the epilogue, it was a blatent low blow. Ydksab
And no floyd didnt turn his back, mcgregor kept spinning behind him. If YDKSAB keep your fuckin mouth closed and go watch another sport.
Lol
it was a low blow. ..and Floyd came back and beat the crap out if McGregor ????
I totally agree with Oscar.
Finally..
Black lives matter groupies will hate this. They will take a win from any con man as long it makes their race look better.. Majority of mayweather fans are fans cause he is black.
Nope, I’m a fan of him since he humiliated Canelo, honestly I was indifferent before that but after watching his fights you can know why he is 50-0 buuuut I do know there’s people that hate him cuz he’s black, some can’t stand that a damn n***er beats everyone by not getting hit, true facts
Or they just loved seeing the American put a whooping on the Irish mouthpiece
Possibly the dumbest comment on the internet today ??????
What a stupid and senseless comment
Hate McGregor but, “Who da fook is this guy?”
I’m a fan cause I Ike his defense
Alexis Gerardo Flores you are the real MVP BRO
Alexis Gerardo Flores best quote I’ve seen
Dumbest comment I’ve seen all week. Just come back and delete this comment bro smfh
Its funny how.. I could just throw any bullshit and people will run with it.. Lol.
Mayweather is a good fighter.. 😉
Testing the peoples will to argue for the silliest things..
Mayweather got more illegal DACA Fans Than Black Live’s Matter Fan for at least 6 more months
Lol
At least they will be alive in their country unlike the black lives matter folks, fearing cops will take them down.
Will you make it till next year.?
I believe it he knows something
Mmmm….do cause Floyd knew he would beat Connor cause he’s not a boxer and he’s fighting one of the best ever, he could spin it out to ten rounds and did it was defo a fix! Come on Oscar you’re better than this pish, get a grip ya dafty!
Oscar De La Homo and his fishnets lost his mind a long time ago
Tyson would have not played that and wouldn’t have cared either
It’s all fake
Oscar who?
Boxing is rigged????????
I call bullshit because Bradley and Horn clearly beat Paquiao!
Same way he paid for that 114-114 draw scorecard for Canelo vs Mayweather
Exactly, since that day tbat dumb bitch never scored another fight because of her blatent retardedness
If they did they’re bloody intelligent gentlemen haha Perfect game plan $$$ IF IT DONT MAKE MONEY THEN IT DON’T MAKE CENT$
Ah, didn’t he basically use the same tactics against Oscar?
Would not doubt it. A guy who is 0-0 in boxing and only had 3 months to train won 3 rounds and lasted 10.
Imagine paying those money to watch it and it would last only 20 sec….
This is stupid
De la Hoya is just jealous because he didn’t cash in lol
FKN 100% rigged
He got hit by shit he never would of
N the first few rounds Connor had not his normal power n energy over a million n 150 for mayweather why the fuck wouldn’t ya
But it’s just shit to watc
Yes Connor agreed to get pummeled in the 10th round
It was a scam however you slice it and the masses fell for it!
Filipe Correia Vitorino
You said it before Oscar
The whole fight, lead up…..everything was a joke. If these dudes are gonna get in the ring with hacks and armatures then give a no name every day person off the street a chance at $100 million dollars and to go 10 rounds.
OSCAR DE LA HOYAS BITCH ASS JUST MAD CUZ MAYWEATHER KNOCKED HIS HUSTLE!
True!
Lol what a load of shit!
Oscar Macy is having a stockings and heels sale go claim that….
Oscar needs to shut up…he makes himself seem jealous of Floyd
You watch the retake on last round in slow motion all fake
Steve Lewis
Wouldn’t surprise me
Huh? He pretty much admitted it. Said his team knew he gassed out around the 25 min mark. At least we got a show.
Cunt,connors a legend,put thatin your bag,that man is a hard lad,how about maywather fights him in tbe octygen,mayweather would be fucked
Shut the fuck up !
Hoya your a fat cunt,i could knock you out
Victoria Beverly Coy
That’s because Oscar knows what’s up
De la Hoya is right
totally, the thing was a fix
Jordon Vlahakis
It was fucking rigged for a 100 million I’ll do it too! You’ve seen Conor’s punching power that fight was a joke!! He kept nodding his head at mayweather! Fucking joke!!
Vicente Medina
He is just crying because he did not have the intelligence or business savyness to think of it first!
i can’t even read this fucking article. the ads keep redirecting the page
Who fucking cares?!
It ain’t damaging claims, it’s true it’s so obvious, he needed to give the crowd a show with all that money they spent to watch it
Defending boxing is gay I don’t watch those fights because they’re all fake
Obviously true.
Yep I thought the same thing. The fix was on.
Expose the elites.
Most groups focus on small problems, while allowing the main problems to reign supreme.

Oscar has a right to be pissed he kicked mayweathers Ass in there fight back in the day 100% that decision was gifted to Mayweather, as for the Connor fight no Connor just plane lost.
That fight with De la Hoya was close but Mayweather beat him
Nope
IMO: it was strategy. Run the fight out 10 rounds as Mayweather suspected McGregor wouldn’t have the steam. Made perfect sense to me. You can see it in around the 7th when Conor can’t keep his gloves up and theys start drifting lower.
This is old news for all you CASUALS. Gay la hoya sounded DUMB AF on the breakfast club smh.
Did you guys get to hear that lying , drug addict , alcoholic cross dressing piece of shit??? That mfker is just a piece of crackhead shit…as much as he lies. He ain’t been the same since Floyd CAME UP 2 WEIGHT CLASSES and took everything from him
We all know that lmao
That fight was a joke… Worst ever boxing fight I’ve ever seen, all of Floyd’s fights sucks. But this one took the cake.. Funny thing is people actually paid 100.00 to watch this.
Oscar de la Hoya is a pendejo
More awesome bodybuilding news from Generation Iron
money is alreadý in the bank and Money Mayweather is already retired
Who doesnt know that? Floyd could have ended it in first round. Everyone knows it was just strickly entertainment & Money.
Just a ploy to add fuel to a dying sport (boxing) as mma is dominating the marketplace. 12 rounds of jabs just does not equate to the excitement of even UFC low points. Boxing it’s own is just not enough to captivate. Watching the fights highlights seems boring
thats why most boxers still make more in one fight than 99 percent of mma fighters throughout there career?
Stupid comment. Boxing is not dying, just because you don’t like it does not mean others don’t.
Uh dingy why don’t you actually do some reaserch. The grosses are down in boxing yes ,but the grosses so have the UFC grosses as well. After the big boom it’s been steadily declining. Maybe you should have done a little more research before posting dumb shit. Boxers get paid by millions. How much is the top MMA, purse?
Anders Madsen
Stfu LOScar
This dude is just trying to bring relevance to his name by joining the media circus of the fight.
I was saying this all along. Didn’t look real or feel real. Money makers
Duh no shit
Hussain Shiham
Y’all thought Connor McGregor was gonna beat Floyd Mayweather?
Martin Montgomery how Sway
LMAO there’s always 1 bro
Fuck generations iron they only talk bullshit
Michael Urii Shi
Lee Russell
True though, he toyed with Conor for all the rounds and then boom round ten pay day, oscar is pissed he fucked up jeff but couldn’t mash up Floyd ?
Lee Russell yeh he sounds kinda bitter? but can’t blame him, he’s a purist but I agree we were sold a fix from day dot and now I have to see constant photos of Connor gassing as usual????
Conor’s a don he knew he was gonna lose and he can ride off into the sunset and get fat and party with his family ?
Lee Russell even richer to keep living that tacky life and go to Ocean club for the first time in his life ffs?
Mayweather controlled the whole fight,inside and outside of the ring.
Oviously
Darren Mark Lane
Sereyna Min told ya!
???♀️
Isn’t this obvious lol lol i was under the assumption everyone knows this fight was carefully planned out and staged by both men long ago lol lol. Money grab, did no one watch the post fight press conference? They were hugging, smiling, joking with each other giving fist pumps laughing at how all the suckers bought into it. These men are friends. They actually shared the same private jet to fly around to different countries to promote this fight. Fact.
It was no fight sparring match for money
About time a pro came out and said this fight was fixed in the worst way McGregor pulled his punches. Tapping this fools nose barely scratching the surface on a full contact blow fight was fixed you can tell in slow motion footage it’s ridiculous
Yes sir! That whole fight was rigged. I said it from the beginning.
Oscar…. The Grouch.
Hahaha… such a looser de la hoya
They should all fight at the same time ffa no gloves no rules and to the death may the best man win
I agree, “exhibition bout” to make money…is that a crime?
People that are salty about ass whoopings will say anything.
It was never any more than a money grab for both parties. They want to pay him 200 mil to fight a guy from a different sport, with almost NO downside (risk of losing), why wouldn’t he take it. Until boxing starts showing scores after each round, it’ll always just be about the money.
Oscar is making me not want to watch any fight he’s involved in.
Who gives a fuck.
I do
DIS N FOKEN FEIT
Duhhh
Damaging what? The guy is set for life financially
Boxing sucks anyway. Don’t act like the sport is dirty as F.
boxing sports has always been rigged =P ummm what is he really trying to tell us lol
Usman Mohammed
Minellie Ruiz Suarez
The fight is over, I don’t understand why generation iron is still posting about it???? This is about fitness not a completely different sport.
It dumb two different fighters but only boxing I wanna see mma
I think Oscar has his mama’s underwear on backwards.
It’s mayweather put money on that round
.
I would have like the fight better if we had Mayweather doing MMA it was a different world for McGregor I give McGregor props. Hats off to both fighters for the entertainment.
Juce EL Niño
Anyone with half a brain should be able to see how fixed it was,how you gonna bet on yourself for exact round n win method.rigged!!! It coulda been over inside 2-3 rounds easily they couldnt let him get embarassed includin the boxing community
