Oscar De La Hoya: "Pacquiao Still Possible, Margarito is Not!"

[Guest]

Despite all of the reports that pronounced the fight dead, Oscar De La Hoya maintains that a bout with WBC lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao is still possible for December 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao officially walked away from the fight on Wednesday after De La Hoya refused to come down from his 70-30 revenue split and told rejected Pacquiao counter-offer of 60-40. Pacquiao instructed his promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank to begin negotiations for a Humberto Soto bout in November, while Golden Boy Promotions is trying to secure Sergio Mora for De La Hoya in December.

Hey Oscar, why don't you tell Pac to settle his unfinished business with JMM?

Oscar, you shouldn't look at the percentages. You should look at how much money you're going to make even with 60%...

Wtf is wrong with Oscar?... 70-30 split! What an ******, he's just like Floyd...they don't wanna fight, they just wanna make money entertaining in the ring.

"GET OFF THE STAGE WITH YOUR SORRY SIDE SHOWS!" These guys (Oscar/Floyd) shouldn't be allowed to fight unless it's for a belt, they don't even have one. How the hell does boxing not have any control over these has been bums?...

These kind of events are exactly what's killing boxing. The boxing association has got to put an end to this once and for all.

Are you new to boxing?????? Since DLH is a star who do you think had gotten more... they all made a lot of money but nobody ever got more then 30 %. Even Mosley in their first fight was making 4 Mill... and DLH was making 15 and it has been ever since... the split for DLH has always been that way... I mean if Tyson would sign for a fight now he would make more money then a Klitschko... it's like that...

I can feel you anger... still don't know why... because like I said before... DLH is not the middlepoint of boxing... he's not the whole boxing world... he was and still is a draw... but he has nothing to do with competive boxing like Cotto... like Pac... like Pavlik... DLH has nothing to do with that... so simply don't care for him...

What for controll??? Your controll??? You are a dreamer dude... of course Floyd had an belt... now he ain't because he's retired... also he never came up... the folks here always talk about Floyd... Floyd gives an interview here and there and if asked about boxing he gives you an answer.

Why is it killing boxing... the fans who order DLH knew what they get... what should DLH do for a fight to not kill boxing... DLH can't kill boxing with his matches... he is not boxing... I guess you are really new dude

He is not giving Paul respect. He is just using Paul as an excuse.

I believe he is using Williams as an excuse to not fight Margarito, but Margarito should avenge his loss and prove beyond all doubt that he is the best welterweight before he gets in the ring with DLH.

exactly.......that's what alot of these posters on here don't get...........

DLH is the draw, he can choose to fight whoever he wants, he sure doesn't owe margarito a thing.

he keeps saying "no" to the fight, so margarito and his fans should move on and sign another fight.....DLH is not hapening.

DLH is right about the revenue splitting too. pacman would have to fight 5 times, to make what he would make against de la hoya. i mean he may be a great fighter, maybe p4p #1 since mayweather retired, but this is about money and DLH is bringing the money to the fight.....either take the 20 mil, or move on to another fight.

the only thing more disheartening than the thought of the fight itself is the negotiations!

There is really no explanation for taste.

I've NEVER understood why Oscar is so popular that he alwaysmakes tons of money no matter who he fights. He's a good fighter, but nothing spectacular, not well educated, speaks poorly, has no especially rivetting facial features, regardless of the BUMPFH, so why....??

At the same time, some posters are expecting too much of him. They expect him to be like Corrales, a type which comes along only once in a generation, if we're lucky. Why should Oscar, not nearly amongst the best welterweights today, although still far out of Manny's range, expose himself to a devastating wear-down and slaughter from Margarito, just to please martial arts, bloodthirsty Roman Coliseum type igboramuses who want to see him-anyone- wallowing in his own blood.

His prime attribures, for me anyway, have always been craftiness and greed, but he shouldn't get seriously injured for it. Let him work out his own fight plans.

As for myself. I'm wondering how far Freddy Roach will go, in insinvere statements, to get the Oscar-Manny fight done, so that he can collect a $2 mill fee.....

lol riveting features? He's good looking latino guy that girls go crazy for. He is more than a good fighter and always comes to fight. And until now, old guy that he is, has always fought the best.

[MANGLER]

We get the point Oscar. You want Pac. You don't want it wit Tony. That's cool. He makes a good point about Paul tho. Tony should be concentratin on him anyway. **** DLH, hidin behind Williams.
