    Idk, I guess it bugs me because Oscar is a repeat offender.

    Judah shouldn't have taken the fight, but moreso, Mayweather shouldn't have taken the fight.

    But with Oscar... it just seems unfair because he has the bargaining chip of money. It literally lets him pass other fighters who have gotten where they are by achieving great things. I think that is why I am harder on Oscar for this.
    I think it is fair to judge Oscar by higher standards for sure because of the money issue, but at the end of the day I think Mayweather deserves FAR more flak for both travesties. The fact that mayweather ducked boxing and signed this fight while on "vacation" hints to the fact that Mayweather instigated this rematch.

      I'm not going to lie, I think Mayweather deserves more blame too. He is the one with the option of fighting Cotto to make his biggest fight. De La Hoya is just looking for his biggest fight. It still does bug me that Oscar even has the ability to cut in line like he does, but I guess the blame of that goes to the fans who keep his economic advantage going like they do.
