I'm going to make this short and sweet.

A lot of you are living in a dreamworld.

Just a personal example, and I know this doesn't mean anything but it might be something to consider.

I throw boxing parties all the time, where I get people who don't care about boxing to come out and watch fights.

I tried to get people to come to Cotto Margarito and no one, even people who watched boxing like I do, came or cared.

I've already gotten ten texts about Oscar vs. Pac and people's opinions on the fight and how they can't wait to see the superfight.

Just cause you guys say something is a joke, or killing boxing, doesn't mean it's true to the average fan.

Just something to think about.

and those 10 people that text you probably can't tell the difference between a southpaw and a spitbucket

I mean yeah, that was the point actually. I wasn't saying they were boxing experts. I'm just saying that is the reality of what general sports fans think.

exactly...it comes with the territory bro...there's a reason we (boxing fans) see things during fights that they dont...the 'casual' fan is attracted to hype...fight fans dont need hype...DLH could be fighting a ham sandwich with gloves on and you'd have friends asking you about it...


i have friends like that too...they can yap and pretend to know but when the bell rings, they know to STFU, keep drinking and ask questions later

no I agree. But this still contradicts what a lot of posters on here assume is reality when they say "no one wants to see Pac vs. Oscar"

[DiegoFuego]

I agree that nobody cared about Cotto-Margarito because nobody knows either of them. None of my casual fans asked about the fight, and I too have gotten hundreds of texts asking my opinion on Pacquiao-De La Hoya. I tell them the fight is a farce and nobody should give Pacquiao a chance in hell.

So yeah while De La Hoya-Pacquiao is going to bring a lot of interest in, it's going to turn a lot of them away when Oscar wins by KO in 4-5 rounds

agreed...for the casual fan, its a DLH fight, for real fight fans, its the proverbial train wreck syndrome...you just gotta see


also like to add the bettors, alot of interest if PAC opens as a 5-1 dog

I'm not sure about that last part. A brutal KO might amuse some people who are weaned on "MMA 'action' ".
