getting amped up for this fight? I know I was one of the main haters of the fight when it was first announced, only cuz I wanted to see Oscar get his head caved in by Antonio Margarito. But as the fight nears, I can't help but feel excited about this fight. It's definately different and I feel it will be competitive, mainly cuz Pac is an animal and Oscar is, well, old. Forbes gave him fits. Any thoughts?
As a Boxing fan HOW COULD YOU MISS IT?...I also was mad at first about the matchup but now as the fight grows near it has me intrigued. Especially with DLH faded just a bit and MP's explosiveness you can guarantee it will be atleast entertaining to watch and thats what Boxing needs a "Super Fight'' that atleast has some drama and intrigue.
I'm having my kid's 1st birthday party on that day with a bunch of PuertoRicans & Mexicans so you know it gonna be wild and there is gonna be friends,family,beer,food and BOXING. What else can you ask for?
I think it's fair to say that even the nay-sayers are curious to see if they were right. My work Christmas party is on the same night so I'll skip that for an hour to catch the fight at a nearby bar. It just can't be missed. I would have never in a million years dreamt this fight could happen. I honestly thought Morales was the last true king to dethrone, also Marquez in the same respect. But this...this is something else.
It's one of those "what if" match ups that RARELY takes place. Their making history and even though it becomes a complete blowout like everyone expects, to see it in the ring, to say you witnessed it live decades later, that's something special.
Its only 60 bucks. Atleast I don't have to worry about buying another PPV fight till June of next year(Cotto vs Marg rematch) in boxing. Unless Cotto's fight in Feb is on PPV.
Only 60 bucks huh? You and me should talk chico :lol1:
But seriously, they are just as guilty and receive 1/10 of the hate Oscar gets. Alot of boxing fans are hypocrites. Glad you're not one of them.
I don't understand how people can hate oscar,He done alot for boxing..He got to have one of the most impressive resume in boxing..He given alot great wars...and I'm not even an Oscar fan..At first i didn't agree with this fight..but i realized that he is going to retire soon,,and at this stage of his career, he's not trying to be in the mix to be the best fighter out there, he not trying to be #1 p4p..he really doing something special here by bringing 2 of the biggest names in boxing today together for a great show..If everyone was oscar,,you'd be crazy not to do it...This is a business oppurtunity of a lifetime....
You guys are being babies. this is the top P4p fighter fighting a top 154lb fighter. THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
and the fight is happening at 147lbs, and Pacquiao has been weighing more than that on fight night since he fought at 130lbs. its going to be a good fight anyway, even if Oscar does easily beat Pacquiao its going to be entertaining. Look at his blowout, one sided wins over Gatti and Mayorga...may have been totally outmatched, but they were memorable fights.
I dont expect yall to throw 50 bucks out to buy it...50 bucks is quite a bit. but you lazy asses may as well go to a bar to watch it, I love doing that...cheap, exciting, and you get food.
but instead youre going to sit alone watching it, depressed about how 'disgraceful' a match it is, on sopcast?
thats just dumb. worst case scenario: it will look like DLH vs. JCC 2. JCC wasnt much bigger than Pacquiao(arguably smaller) and DLH today isnt nearly as good as the DLH that JCC fought. and whats more, JCC was shot by then.
and all in all, that was an entertaining fight.
I understand, even though I'm buying the fight, in honesty I'm not pumped like other DLH fights in the past.
It is a mismatch, but like I've been saying in several other posts, if you think Oscar is shit for doing this, then so is Bhop for fighting other smaller guys.
I do think Bernard is shit for doing this too.
I wasn't at all thrilled when Roy fought a fat Tito either.

It's not about the money..
I'm bout to start working another job (im going to have two)
It's about cheating the public from the best fights and the unfairness of it all.
It's a very big mismatch.
If I give Oscar my money for this, I am saying I am agreeing with what he is doing
and I don't.
I wont pay for this fight.
Probably wont even watch
All Oscars recent fights sucked
and Manny is not in a position to make it interesting,
he is sooo small

I'll watch it, just to see PacMan have a chance to cut him down. It pisses me off to see a larger guy land a fight with a smaller guy and then try to build up the fight as if it's really something spectacular if he wins. It's only spectacular if the smaller guy wins. In this case, PacMan has nothing to lose. DLH should retire and concentrate on promoting.
this fight don't feel right, it's a shame and a mockery of the sport, i still feel the same way about it and refuse to buy it.
do we really want them to believe this is acceptable in boxing?
are you really gonna let them rip you off like that?
this fight just don't feel right to me. I say nay.
I was going to boycott it but knowing how us Mexicans party, it would be hard to pass on it, especially with all them Coronas & Tecates they are bringing. Plus my chick wants to see Oscar(no surprise). Pac is hardly ever in a boring fight too.
Yeah, it's gonna be a good night to party.
i'm pumped,DLH hiring Nacho and Dundee out of desparation because he knows he's gonna get dealth a beatdown by Pacman.Even if he somehow wins,he know he's gonna get busted up in a war.
