Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather Didn't Want This, He Was Forced

[HAY-B]

Manny beat him much worse than Floyd did. Why wouldn't he be bitter towards Manny?

Because FMJ humiliated him at each stop on the press tour. FMJ got in ODLH head. FMJ talked a whole lot of trash to ODLH and then got in the ring and beat him. That's why he's bitter.

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is backing Manny Pacquiao to get an upset win over Floyd Mayweather Jr. in their WBC/WBA/WBO welterweight clash from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

De La Hoya, who co-promoted Mayweather's fights from 2007 to 2014, says the boxer never wanted to face Pacquiao in the ring. He feels the undefeated pound-for-pound king was pressured into the fight, because the time had come where everyone was demanding the contest.

“I honestly never thought it would happen,” De La Hoya told 7DAYS. “You see Floyd Mayweather was forced to take this fight. He was under pressure from promoters, the fans and the media so he had no other choice but to face Pacquiao.

oscar changes his stance from "no negotiation" to "floyd avoided". it will be good if he will include details in his biography.

Jmm made himself unavailable. Really? The same guy who thought he was robbed in the first 3 fights, knocks manny on his ass, and hes the one thats ducking, provide a link for me that says pacquiao wanted a rematch and Marquez refused. Your words and childish insults mean nothing. And if that was the case there is no way that Chris algieri was the next best option outside of mayweather.

U don't need a Link, Dumbo, U need a Brain...Ha ha!!!

Strange, Floyd didn't want the fight yet chased and cornered Manny at the ball game, went to his room and did his best sells job while Arum & Roach was absent.

Oscar telling us the truth, people just dont like to hear it, for what ever reasons they may be.

remember when oscar says that floyd-pac fight is nearly done in a talk show and says "no negotiation" a week later.

it kind of damage oscars integrity then- lying to protect floyd.

he said he doesnt want to see floyd walk away with an 0....something he didnt have to worry about with manny who had already lost several times...and plus floyd beat him with oscar was still the cash cow and could do 2 million...manny only beat floyd's remains pretty much...skin color and being called a B word over and over again can help as well...oscar had nothing to do with making this fight and now he's trying to find a way to have something to do with it...know how much money he lost out on now that floyd doesnt do business with him anymore>

[tiliheels]

ok if u know this for a fact...why is your head with the scared man??

just covering your tracks..u dont wanna get clowned when you pick is wrong sound just like lampley..DONT NOBODY LIKE A MF WHO PLAYIN BOTH SIDES...well unless one side of it is hating on floyd...pretty petty but w/e

[KillaMane26]

Only the biggest dck riders think Floyd wasnt forced to take this fight.......Come on, all this guy talks about is money but it took this long for him to actually care about making this amount of money against somebody who they claim is "easy work or mismatch....

But all of sudden you the most focused you have ever been , chopping wood n shlt.....The Mayweather family is the king of contradictions

And yea Oscar do be hating, but I agree with what he said mostly

Only the biggest dck riders think Floyd wasnt forced to take this fight
