Oscar De La Hoya’s advice to Terence Crawford
The 6-division world champion has pocketed the experience of being both a boxer and a promoter. Based on this, he believes Crawford will only deviate attention from training by involving himself in business. According to him, the team of talented people that he has employed are the ones he should be delegating all the extra work to. Explaining the point De La Hoya said, “What I responded to Crawford was- you have competent and smart people on your team for a reason. You delegate as the fighter because you are the business owner.”
The promoter believes Crawford should stick with what he does best. Compromising on his craft will not yield the best results. “See, I have been a fighter myself. 11-time world champion, gold-medalist, 6-division so what I mean to Crawford is focus on what you do best. From my experience, when you go off and try to do something else, guess what? You take time away from your training. You take time away from being focused and working on your craft,” reiterated De La Hoya
