This is old news now but I didnt see it posted here
Legendary Junior Middleweight boxer and entreprenuer Oscar De La Hoya has bought The Ring Magazine from the Kappa Publishing Group. The Ring Magazine has been regarded as the “authority” on boxing for the past 85 years.
"Oscar is the new face of professional boxing," stated Point-Spreads.com Boxing Expert Brad Marchetti. "I believe that Oscar will put a strong emphasis on the fact that the Ring has the ACTUAL boxing rankings and Champions."
The magazine has unbiased rankings unlike many of the alphabet organizations. Fighters that are listed as the Ring Magazine champion are recognized as undisputed champions by the mass media and fans alike.
When asked if owning the magazine while simultaneously being an active boxer and promoter would be a conflict of interest De La Hoya responded. “These magazines will be held in an editorial trust where they will be operating totally independent of any influence from me or others from the Golden Boy Companies as it relates to editorial direction or content,” promised Oscar.
