    Why DLH really wants Pacquiao. It may not be just about money...

    By defeating Pacquiao, DLH may be looking to get both money and the one thing that has eluded him: the support and respect of hardcore Mexican boxing fans.

    Mexico is desperately looking for someone to spank Manny and knock him out cold. Knocking Pacquiao out would probably win him that support and respect.


    --Just to be clear... if he makes this fight, he loses all my respect--

    I think Oscar gave up on trying to win the Mexicans support quite a while ago. He's his own man now. They were never gonna accept him after he bludgeoned Chavez...twice

          I think it's all about the money, if the Mexicans didn't get behind him after he defeated Vargas, I doubt they'd get behind him for this.

            Vargas was Mexican-American too, he has a pretty big Mexican fan base as well

              Even the Mexicans with their raging nationalism would still not be able to deny the fact that the fight is a huge mismatch. DLH is to ****ing big, plain and simple. Besides, like everyone else stated, I highly doubt they will back him anyhow. Pacquiao has proved to be more of the "warrior" based on his style and those he's defeated with that same style.

                Not from me. Really, I would hate it to happen. But it's such strange phenomena, like UFOs, that makes you wonder and speculate on possible explanations.

                  I know man. I mean, a former flyweight taking on DLH ?
                  Its just too unbelievable that you'd probably want to watch
                  it anyway if the fight is made.

                    Eric Gomez who not only happens to be the vice-president for Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, but is also a close friend of De La Hoya's since they were children, feels Manny Pacquiao is a dangerous fight for De La Hoya to take. There is a lot of commotion in the boxing world that De La Hoya maybe gearing up to take on Manny Pacquiao in his final fight before hanging up the gloves.

                    Speaking to dzSR radio's Dennis Principe, Gomez stated in regards to De La Hoya taking on Pacquiao: "[That] is a dangerous fight for Oscar."

                    Gomez added during the interview: "Manny has the speed and he’s got the power. It’s a very dangerous fight for Oscar."

                    Even though Gomez has some concerns about the fight, Golden Boy Promotions is serious about making the fight happen. "It’s a matter of getting together and making the deal happen. It’s a matter of getting the numbers and to see if we can get it done.”

                    Source of quotes used in this report: Ronnie Nathanielsz and Dennis Principe.

                    ----

                    Now that's what I call "leaning towards a Pac-DLH showdown".
                    Oscar's people already making a case for a "competitive" fight . lol
