Do you think Hopkins saw flaws in pascal for the reason he jumped on the fight?

    Why would I sit here and defend Oscar I don't even like the guy. But, Winky turned him down.

    BoxingScene.com: There was some talk a few months back, regarding Oscar De La Hoya having interest in staging a fight with you. Were there any serious discussions to make the fight or was this something Oscar was putting out there to test the fans' interest in the fight?

    Winky Wright: A while back, after I beat Tito (Trinidad). Oscar came up and said that he would fight us. Somebody made a proposal from his camp. They gave us the proposal and we felt that the proposal was not good enough. We turned it down.

    As for Shaw last month turning down $6-million (plus $6 per pay-per-view buy above 600,000 homes) to fight Oscar De La Hoya ?

    "He offers everyone else $10, 15-million," Wright said, referring to the $10-million Felix Trinidad got for beating De La Hoya in 1999. "I ain't doing it."

            He thought the same thing Shane did. That being the better fighter entitles you to more money. It only matters what you can sell. Funny thing is those guys are true gentleman and can't sell a lick, yet floyd does all his **** and fills the seats. Only in America.

              WTF was wrong with winky. That would have been a very winnable fight(a fight I would have loved to watch).

                Brilliant boxers are usually not brilliant business men. Winky has to understand that nice guys who outbox their opponents for 12 rds make for low ratings and low ppv sales.

                  What's baffling is he turned down those huge money fights and fought Bernard

                      @ 170lb catchweight for peanuts, and got a going away gash to go with it.
