De La Hoya accepts photo scandal

On the plus side maybe it helped boxing make inroads towards the traditionally hard to get gay demographic.

 

yeah what's the deal with ortiz modeling?

I could understand it if he was a poor guy, but he probably made millions in his career, yet he accept to look like a total man whore for a few penny.

Guess the guy has some confidence issues and needs people to tell him he's pretty

 

I doubt Ortiz has made millions. Maybe gross over years but not in his account.

 

Same here. I was never a DLH fan, but I didn't think the pics were real either.

 

Well you were wrong you old FUCK!

You had the audacity to criticize my thread, ASSuming they were fake.

It's OBVIOUS to anyone with eyes that they were not photoshopped.

 

this is absurd, particularly on a site where people have claimed that two planes didn't actually strike a pair of 100 story buildings

 

Somewhere in the back of my mind I felt there was a good chance the pics were real because I couldn't see any obvious signs of photo shop....

BUT... I also knew that with Oscar being a big time celebrity that he was also a big time TARGET so I didn't put it out of the realm of possibility that maybe somebody just wanted to get some money off him.

But I never imagined that Oscar would have come to this point. I mean it sounds like now he's okay which is good. I never was a fan of his, but I never imagined him going off the deep end, so to speak. I mean I don't give a fuck what he does with his sex life, though I did have a laugh when he confirmed those pics were real. But as far as the whole cocaine thing and dependency on alcohol, and the suicide thoughts, yeah I was shocked by that. Oscar never struck me as the type of guy who would let himself get in that deep.

 

This is just REED's Theory, but he Thinks Dela is Still LEARNING who HE is, as a Person...Especially NOW that his Fighting Career is Over (or Seemingly So)...

Athlete's in General, & MAINSTREAM Athletes in Particular, have a DIFFICULT Adjustment to the "Real World", when their Playing/Fighting Days R Over...& While Dela is the FACE of Golden Boy Promotions, Richard Schaefer is REALLY the Guy Running the Company...Dela's just a FIGUREHEAD...

Dela's Still FINDING Himself...

Like Ray Leonard, he Put on Soooooooooo Many FACADES During his Days as a Fighter, that he DOESN'T Know what to Do w/Himself Now that the GLORY Days R Over...Since Elementary School he was a BOXER; No More, No Less...WHO is he Now Though???...

When U're No Looooooonger Able to Do the 1 Thing that DEFINES You, it's Gotta B a Sad, Confusing & SCARY Place to B, Mentally...Most People Turn to MASKING Agents, when they're Feeling THAT Level of Insecurity...Drugs, Alcohol, Sex, etc...

REED was Never a Fan of Dela's Either, but it Definitely SADDENS REED to See Dude THIS Low...& While REED will FOREVER Make Fun of the Pictures Dela Posed For, Dude Probably TURNED DOWN More Pussy than ANY "Regular" Guy has Actually HAD in his Life...

Good post Mr.REED. I agree it's sad. Sad for any athlete in fact. What do you do with yourself when the glory days are gone? Money does not buy happiness for the long term. I was surprised though reading that DLH wanted to kill himself. Somebody that rich, that successful and who could have 100 hot women on his bed anytime he chooses...and yet he wanted to kill himself? I don't know what it's like to be rich and famous so I guess I wouldn't know what these stars go through behind closed doors.

 

Go fuck yourself. As usual...you made a call based on love/hate for a particular fighter and it happened to work out for you for once. All that proves is that if you throw enough shit (also known as your opinions) at a wall...eventually some of it might stick. Which is all that happened in this case.

Tell us again in your normal stupidly arrogant tone how Toney's fights with Tiberi and Johnson took place AFTER the Jones fight.

I'd much rather be wrong once about something non-boxing related than be like you who constantly gets things wrong due to running your mouth without having a fucking clue.

You really are The Biggest Loser.

 

I'm a fan of De La Hoya you senile old wanker.
