Trinidad vs De La Hoya rematch - why it never happened?

[Emon723]

Dela Hoya wants no part of Tito at 160lbs, but he fought Bernard Hopkins, when he has no business fighting at the middleweight, turned friendly and affectionate afterwards to the man who knock him out with a body shot.

Tito bakked out like a ho........

the rematch didn't happen cause dlh didn't want to give up the bigger purse to tito

Actually Oscar did not wanted a 50 / 50 deal he wanted more that was the reason. Look for it

[gibo]

Fishnet could make ANY fight that he wanted happen!! Hell, he made him and Pacquiao happen! A fight no one ever thought possible!!! The rematch with TITO never happened, cause delagayho punked out. Remember when he said "I'll never give Vargas a chance to make money fighting me" TITO KnocksTFO of Vargas and BINGO!! hotos fighting Vargas in a heart beat. Or "I'll fight the winner of Tony Margarito and Cotto"? Who did he fight? NONE!!!!!

any non bias boxing fans knows its all about the benjamins..
that's how boxers roll in the before.. no one is afraid of each other..

boxers are afraid. just look at floyd's face when margarito confronted him.

fighters ask for more than they are worth all the time because they are scared of losing. check out how much floyd wanted to fight a 140 pound cotto and compare that to his previous career high at that time. ridiculous. sometimes guys flat out refuse to fight other guys that would make them huge money and they go on vacation or they fight unknown journeymen from argentina instead.

it's not about the "benjamins" at all. that's just public relations to make it sound like they aren't ducking. everyone has a list of opponents they will and won't fight and they choose the opponent on the will fight list that would make them the most. making a little less to ensure victory isn't so bad. you can still trick a lot of people into thinking you are great simply by continuing to win over mediocre opposition.

I'm talking about ODLH and Tito.. The fight went off because obviously Oscar wants a bigger slice while Tito don't give in because he thinks he deserves a fair share.

I can't speak for PBF since I never follow him. But you have a point though.

Hoya wanted the bigger purse.
That's the truth.

Oscar didn't do rematches if he felt it was too risky. Only people that got rematches were old ass Chavez and Mosley (after many thought Shane was done).

to be fair oscar was robbed in that rematch, its funny because you would think star power and all that other **** would have worked in the 03 rematch but i guess not, i guess he needed it for the great felix sturm. oscar never looked so horrible.
