    Oscar must know something we don't because here in the States soccer isn't exactly big. We'll see how this works out for him.

            Great move- Houston is one of the best franchises.

            Now their stadium deal will probably come through and things will be even better

              Oscar de La Hoya will fight Cotto in December or so. I believeCotto will close de la Hoya boxing book in history, way to go Oscar.

                he's not a good business man, he is an opportunist. 2006/2007 champions? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to go that way

                    Oscar is buying everything! He must have been good at Monopoly as a kid.
                    pretty soon he will own half the country..
