No, its a matter of two large names going at it. This isnt a fight anyone demanded, called for or anything like that, its a de la hoya fight against another big name, thats it for the most part.

Rich Celebrities going to another one of oscars boxing events... The only celebrity I respect who goes to these boxing events are Jack Nicholson because hes been to like every fight even the non-big fights that bring out all the celebrities. Jack Nicholson is a real boxing fan and most of the other celebrities are phoneys who could give 2 ****s about boxing and just go for the publicity and ****.
