Negotiations for ODLH-PAC formally open.......

[MJ406]

Don't like this fight at all. I know why Oscar is taking it, he wants to go out by beating the pound 4 pound champ. The fight will be financially successful but the not the fight that fans of his want to see.

Oscar by systematic beatdown with Roach waiving the white flag. Oscar will go out as beating the lb 4 lb champ and thats hard to resist if you are Oscar.

That's my only interest in the fight, to be honest.

not if Manny can overcome the weight difference & pull out a W

but how many PPV's can Oscar sucker the fans out of, as he's still the biggest name in the sport.

BoxRec on Dec. 7: Pacquiao KTFO 1 De La Hoya

Oscar deserves it for wanting this fight when Margarito is openly willing to battle it out.

oscar is a businessman

This fight will do a good 650,000 buys
Oscar and Manny will do a 12 city world tour again pre fight.
If the fight gets signed fast then the following week they will set up a city for city tour and then oscar and manny will go on talkshows.
Manny will look out of place while the elitist white talk show hosts treat him like a lower level immigrant because of his accent and ricebowl haircut and mustache.
So the mainstream whites will automatically think Kick this immigrants butt.
The funny thing is Pacman is the real true hero but he will be the heel to the americans who know jack **** about him and see him for the first time ever.
Oscar will make pacman the villain and all the casual fans will buy into it when Oscar Savagely almost kills pacman in the ring.

eh I'd have to think more then 650,000 .. your underestimating the casual fans who dunno **** about the sport that'll just pile on as the fight builds closer.

the heel? what is this pro wrestling? I know Oscar's pushing this "it's personal" agenda .. but how many actually buy into it?

personally, that ^ turns me off the fight THAT much more. "It's personal" .. right I know Oscar's a business man but he's gotta try a bit harder to make up a more legit reason than that.

Pacquiao would have to spar with middleweights.

650k buys?

you're tripping domain.

it'll do double that.

it'd do close to 2 million if only the economy wasn't so bad. right now i say it does 1m buys or so.

the casual fans will buy into it.
They are the same fans who only ordered the tyson fights.
I was one of those with my family growing up we only ordered the fights that had extreme buzz like tyson or oscar.
I didn't really start becoming a real die hard boxing fan till recently.
Trust me on this not one celebirty will Root for Pacquiao when the fight happens because they have no clue who the hell he is!!
Pacman will def be the bad guy and that is what kinda pisses me off because for oscar to make one of the most humble nice guys in boxing out to be something he is not is just a shame!
Jealousy in my opinion because pacman has the REal Love and respect of his people and that is something oscar wants from the mexicans.
So by oscar savagely knocking out pacquiao he will get that love and respect he craved for beating the mexicacutioner.

Goodbye Manny, not only there's a chance that he will recieve a career ending KO, but also if he survives/wins, all that money he will make will make him retire. Who would wanna fight for 2-3 million after recieving 15 million?

This will be both fighter's last fight....win or lose.

He will fight Hatton and get another big Payday

I don't see what Oscar is gaining from this though, even if he wins people will call him a bully.

I have a hunch he won't win though. Pacquiao is just to determined and a better boxer these days than De La hoya.

LMAO at pacquiao actually winning.
Pacquiao winning this fight would be one of the biggest upsets ever in boxing.
There is no Damn Way pacquiao can beat oscar! no way in hell!
Oscar has some underated defense he is one of the few boxers who can parry your shots and time his left hook and jab just right.
especially if you come in aggressive like pacman will do.
Mayorga was bigger stronger and hit harder with a better chin then little pacman, mayorga said to oscar I weigh 175! right before they touch gloves.
then oscar knocked him down with a beautiful timed left hook and mayorga looked at oscar like wtf just hit me?
that same hook if it lands on pacman will drop him like a bag of bricks and pacman will be sleeping for 2 minutes.
