De La Hoya-Pacquiao: Manny Wants Big Bucks

[ANDROID_DOES]

dlh is a ****en joke! So many better fights out there for him. Why not mosley again, zab judah, cotto, margarito, a good 154 lbs fighter even. How does he feel good about himself beating a ****en midget compared to him! If he's satisfied with that then that's pretty sad. This is a ****en huge mismatch manny and dlh have no business in the ring together. manny could weigh 147 but he is still out sized by a mile! Breaking news david hayes just issued a challenge to jermain taylor!!!

while i see this match-up as an absurd, dlh or pacman can't be blame, because am so sure oscar and manny will fight for money. who can refuse a seven-figure payday? nobody... ask ugly boy floyd or big show!

[brently1979]

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.

I agree with you, I'd much rather See Floyd Fight Cotto than DLH again.

[ml2niceguy]

that's WAY too much money to be asking for...mayweather ain't even get that!

[Papa Ace]

Manny said he'll demand for that money because he anticipates a punishment from Dela Hoya.

... Pacquiao vs. Delahoya in wrestlemania!!!!!!!!!!!

[frankpaganini]

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]

First of all this fight shouldnt happen.

second of all I believe the ONLY reason Floyd Mayweather Jr. hasnt signed the contract for the september fight with de la hoya is because he's waiting to see if de la hoya gets past forbes (which we know he will...or MOST of us know at the least)...other than that i dont see any other reason for mayweather NOT to take the fight.

third of all why should Oscar fight pacquiao? the size difference is too big.

Manny Pacquiao
height 5′ 6½″
reach 67“

Oscar De La Hoya
height 5′ 10½″
reach 73“

talk about picking on the little guy

I think Pacquiao v. Floyd Mayweather jr. is a bit more fair.

why?

oscar now (out of his prime) fights at 154...
floyd now (still in his prime) fights at 147

pacquiao is 5'6 ("and a half") and floyd is 5'8. so the height difference isnt that big of a deal
the biggest difference is mayweather's reach (72") over pacquiao.

AND

i think its a lot better to have the 2 best p4p fighters in a fight against each other.

[RichCCFC]

This is no different to what Hopkins has been doing for the past 10 years!

[aussieboxer2320]

manny would have a chance at his current weight but would be too bloated to fight well at 147 as the speed advantage would be nullified. oscar is a ***** and as much a coward as a boxer can be, keeping in mind no boxer is a coward, but honestly i hope oscar gets ktfo against forbes

This is a dream fight for Oscar. Now all he has to do is set the terms.
