De La Hoya-Pacquiao: Manny Wants Big Bucks

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For months, there have been rumors of a possible dream fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao, who is planning a jump in weight to 135-pounds, would have to meet De La Hoya at 147, which is seven-pounds below his present weight class of 154. [details]

****ing ridiculous. oscar should be ashamed of himself. mayweather/pacquiao makes alot more sense than that match up.

I hope this fight happens if Mayweather De La Hoya 2 doesn't and this happens in september.

Mayweather would have to fight Cotto right? Unless he fought Hatton...

[MANGLER]

This fight ain't gonna happen. WW is too big for Manny and Oscar's rep would take a hit if he went through with this fight, even though a lot of people would probably pay to see it.

A guy who's never fought above 130 fighting a guy coming down from 154. Tell me when this is ever acceptable? How can they swindle the public into buying this fight?

the general public never really knows details, only names. they really don care how many belts a fighter has or what division they normally fight in. or they just dont know.

Actually this is a good fight.. If this fight happens, Mayweather has no choice rather to fight Hatton or Cotto.. I believe that Oscar wants to earn more money than Floyd on their rematch that's why they are having problems

Manny fighting Oscar is like fighting Barrera,Morales or Marquez 10 times..
money wise

Reality is that 60% of the people who would buy this pay-per-view aren't hardcore boxing fans so they will only see the to names together and buy it. This is good actually 'cause it'll open the space for Mayweather-Cotto, if Cotto wins on april 12.

Manny will get big bucks and brain damage. THis fight should never, ever happen. I defend Oscar alot, but this would be unforgivable.

It would look like the Big Show against Mayweather. Manny is so much smaller than ODLH that Oscar could use him as a hand puppet.

I said it somewhere else. Whoever puts this fight together should be rounded up and shot.
