De La Hoya says he's 'very seriously' considering presidential run
Fox News ^ | September 10, 2018 | Matt Richardson

Former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya said Monday that he’s considering adding another title to his collection: leader of the free world.

"I am actually very, very serious and I strongly feel that if a Kanye West can do it and announce and maybe tease the world that he would maybe one day wanna run for president, why not me," the fighter-turned-promoter said in a video released by TMZ.

There is something actually very very strange. All sorts of people announce they want to be president. Oprah. Lizzie squaw. Moochelle. Hillary. Jesse Jackson. They all have bats in the belfry.

From a 2011 article: "At times I would even drink a tequila before a fight. In 2009 I overdosed on cocaine and alcohol and wound up hospitalised. I knew then I was going to end up dead or in jail."

In May he finally checked himself into rehab. "Now, I honestly feel as though I was born again. I feel better than ever. Addiction is the hardest battle of my life. This is sort of like training for a fight that never comes."

10 world titles in six different age brackets....He was one of the best......Fortunately for him, he didn't have agents that just used him then absconded with his winnings.

He earned and kept his wealth and didn't end up like Ali.

I respect the hell out of him for going public with his confession, but I guess that's part of the recovery process.

As for the interview where he's asked if he would run for president, of course his answer was in line with the promotion of an upcoming fight of one of his boxers........

Well then, he’d be a shoe-in for the Democrats.

WTF is it with everyone deciding they can be president? Even folks like Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina: hey Carly, if you can’t get elected to Congress, you can’t get elected President. And you might just learn what you’re doing in Congress.

Let’s face it: Dwight Eisenhower, U.S. Grant, Woodrow Wilson and Barry Sotero were all TERRIBLE presidents. Trump seems to be surviving on his issue stances and the sheer ineptitude of his predecessor.

CTE is real, and De La Hoya is the evidence.

Trump is at least used to being a chief executive who has taken part in adversarial negotiating and complex building to make stuff that makes money.

Douchebags like Obama never did a day of work in their lives, never met a payroll.

I’ll take a person like Trump over any politician who has run for President since Reagan.

I’ll still take Reagan.

This one-trick pony can’t even pull off a successful foray into the world of MMA promotion despite being a boxing promoter for several years, yet somehow he thinks he can parlay his boxing and limited business experience into a presidential run based on his ethnicity. The clown show that will be the democrat primary should be entertaining.
