Comments Thread For: De La Hoya To Make a Push For Mayweather-Pacquiao

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

With talk of a Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao bout reigniting optimism amongst boxing fans in the last couple of weeks, one person is willing to do anything he can to see the fight take place.

And he is very familiar to both fighters.

Oscar De La Hoya took to Twitter on Wednesday night, proclaiming he is willing to do his part to see Mayweather-Pacquiao become reality in 2015.

the only reason pacquiao was able to KO de la hoya is because floyd jr softened him up so much it would be pacquiao last KO

Mayweather will now spout some garbage about Pacquiao not deserving $80 million because he doesn't generate the same PPV numbers, and thus he won't make the fight.

Then Pacquiao will agree to the new numbers.

Floyd will then say, "but Pacquiao lost to Marquez," and then choose a much softer, less established opponent.

Then, when Pacquiao can hardly box anymore, Mayweather will finally agree to a fight with 30 oz gloves, a 26 foot ring, and throw 1 punch at a time for a boring 12 round decision victory.

Er...except they didn't fight DLH anywhere close to each other. Oh, and Mayweather didn't even leave a scratch on DLH.

Idiot.

All meaning absolutely nothing, in the grand scheme of things.

-Mayweather fights on Showtime PPV, not on CBS.
-Mayweather hasn't had a contract with Arum since he personally bought out his last deal.
-Ellerbe works for Mayweather Promotions, after spending the prior decade as Mayweather's conduit while Richard Schaefer was working out the deals.
-Floyd Sr has trained Mayweather for maybe 5 of his 47 fights.

and the countless other names brought up have no actual stake in Mayweather's fights, outside of maybe buying a ticket or maybe ordering the show a home.

Mayweather Promotions has it's license to promote the fight, Stephen Espinoza seems to have thrown his lot in with Mayweather, Floyd Mayweather Jr is still the sports top draw, and every fighter 160-135 is chomping at the bit to fight him (so he won't be want for opponents).

Floyd's done things his way, and he's not going to get punked into some nonsense by anyone.
