Oscar was one of the most consistently robbed guys in the history of the sport. Just look at the Trinidad and Mosley II results.

By fighting Oscar and his established popularity a fighter could multiply their purse+he would take on anyone and NOT AT A CATCH WEIGHT!I believe therefore he was worthy of the larger percentage

Oscar developed and enhanced the pay of the lower weights through his popularity-Pac should be thankfull of this!

ps-had a prime Oscar fought a prime Pac,I have no doubt that De la Hoya would have stopped him.

I hate to say this about Oscar, but he was the GREEDIEST BOXER I have ever seen. Check the percentage of the purse that he cheated fighters like Manny, compared to him. I’m glad he’s out of the sport, and fighters like Manny who really deserve the better cut is well compensated.

Oscar only lost 1 at his best,Mosley 1!He avenged this,educated Trinidad,fought everyone of note-but unfortunately became occupied by family and business.This undoubtedly distracted or burdened him and he wasn’t the same.That said,although semi-retired,his sratus remained in my eyes,one of the best ever and a legend
