Why DLH really wants Pacquiao. It may not be just about money...

Eric Gomez who not only happens to be the vice-president for Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, but is also a close friend of De La Hoya's since they were children, feels Manny Pacquiao is a dangerous fight for De La Hoya to take. There is a lot of commotion in the boxing world that De La Hoya maybe gearing up to take on Manny Pacquiao in his final fight before hanging up the gloves. Speaking to dzSR radio's Dennis Principe, Gomez stated in regards to De La Hoya taking on Pacquiao: " is a dangerous fight for Oscar." Gomez added during the interview: "Manny has the speed and he’s got the power. It’s a very dangerous fight for Oscar." Even though Gomez has some concerns about the fight, Golden Boy Promotions is serious about making the fight happen. "It’s a matter of getting together and making the deal happen. It’s a matter of getting the numbers and to see if we can get it done.” Source of quotes used in this report: Ronnie Nathanielsz and Dennis Principe. ---- Now that's what I call "leaning towards a Pac-DLH showdown". Oscar's people already making a case for a "competitive" fight . lol Eric is looking for a phone call. I mean, if Pac has the speed and the power, he might tell me that Oscar could get killed by Cotto's stare.

Mexican fans would be happy to see Pac lose to anybody, but even if DLH beats him he ain't gonna get too much love cuz he's so much bigger. They'd cheer their asses off that night, but after his retirement would they view DLH as one of their heroes? I doubt it.

Not from me. Really, I would hate it to happen. But it's such strange phenomena, like UFOs, that makes you wonder and speculate on possible explanations. I know man. I mean, a former flyweight taking on DLH ? Its just too unbelievable that you'd probably want to watch it anyway if the fight is made.

lol. this whole pacman-dela hoya stuff is getting some really juicy discussion here in BS. damn , the more arguments there is for this fight not to happen, the more people will want to make it happen, (get the gist ?)

Even the Mexicans with their raging nationalism would still not be able to deny the fact that the fight is a huge mismatch. DLH is to fucking big, plain and simple. Besides, like everyone else stated, I highly doubt they will back him anyhow. Pacquiao has proved to be more of the "warrior" based on his style and those he's defeated with that same style.

Vargas was Mexican-American too, he has a pretty big Mexican fan base as well

I think it's all about the money, if the Mexicans didn't get behind him after he defeated Vargas, I doubt they'd get behind him for this.

Manny needs knocking out lol Knocking out then Tax him....... Him and his boy called Hoya out and now there making a meal of it. His the p4p Don its picking on someone smaller then u but FUCK IT! Knock that boy out and restore some pride

I think Oscar gave up on trying to win the Mexicans support quite a while ago. He's his own man now. They were never gonna accept him after he bludgeoned Chavez...twice
