Miami FLOYD and OSCAR press conferance.

I was also their. It was an awesome experiece. De La hoya was cooler than I thought. He stayed a long time signing autographs for his fans. Mayeather was talking crap in the last press conference saying that dlh thinks he is to good for his fans and turns his back on them. That didn't happen in Miami because Mayweather was the one that left early and I didn't see him sign one autograph. Mayorga was pretty cool too.

I agree and disagree with you. I agree that De La Hoya has had a bad rap from people who have attended his first conferences, but he was great signing and mingling with fans, but mostly AFTER the conference. De La Hoya seems to be serious about his work promoting his fights, sullen and focused. But once everything is over, he seems to loosen up, smile and shoot the breeze with his fans. He signed for a handful less people than Mayweather did on the red carpet; he smiled a few times and really didnt pose for pics. Everything changed once the conference and interviews ended; he was smiling and laughing with his fans, signing tons, cracking up at jokes about his music, giving high fives and the works.

Mayweather did sign and signed alot, not as much Oscar, but no complaints from anyone that I heard of. He signed for more people on the red carpet than Oscar did; I dont know how much he signed for fans during and after the interview process, but there was a group of fans around his area and lots of cheering, so he was mixing it up with the fans (also laughing at their jokes when he took the podium). He did leave before Oscar, but signed as he walked with the crowd that followed him; Oscar stayed late to make up for the lack of signing that he did when he arrived.

Mayorga is always cool. And you gotta love Dundee.

Actually I was late it started at 12:00 pm. I was their like at 12:10 and they were just showing the past press conferences on tv. They came out about 5 to 10 minutes after I arrived

The hype train pulled into Houston today and it was more of the same from just about every other city. Delahoya putting on his focused act as always and Mayweather put on his show. There was also a little shoving during the stare down. I didn't go but I seen it on the local news.

These guys really are trying to sell this fight. Even the sports reporter said it was nothing but a repeat from other cities.

I will watch this fight because I'm a fan of both fighters but this is a big fight based on Delahoya's name more than anything else. I mean let's be real here, Delahoya has lost almost every major fight he has had in the past 7 years.
