Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather Was Pressured Into The Fight

[bmud reggin]

Once Floyd retires, Oscar is going to tell the world the truth about Floyd. After all, he promoted Floyd for years and had to defend his ducking tactics because of it.

Its easy convict the hated guy of anything when you play connect the dots , if you want to get technical the dots can be connected in many ways where all were pressured to make the fight now , when everybody was saying the fight will never happen I always said it would , when everybody said it was not happening now including Oscar I said it was happening .

Floyd stepped up and called Manny out with a date , Floyd did not have to do that , he wants the fight .

Yeah, AFTER THE FACT. hahahaha Which goes exactly as DLH did say...

[fabie]

It's gotten too childish at this point.

Which could have been prevented if MAYWEATHER MANNED UP YEARS AGO...

It is obvious Floyd was pressured into it, im still very surprised he accepted pacmans challenge after all the years he spent avoiding the fight

[big_james10]

I can imagine what that pressure must have been like:

Moonves: "Floyd, you have got to take the $100 million to fight Pacquaio or I will lose respect for you and won't resign you when your Showtime contract expires."

Alvarez: "Floyd, either fight Manny Pacquaio on May 2 or I will fight James Kirkland on regular HBO on the same date and steal 50,000 of your PPV buys if you try to fight Cotto or Khan on that date."

Arum: "Floyd, you either fight Manny in June at AT&T Stadium in Dallas (because only Mexicans should fight on Cinco de Mayo weekend) or I swear I will make a fight between Pacquaio and Jesse Vargas."

Oscar: "Floyd, unless you want me to show up at your house in fishnet stockings and high heels and call you out for the coward that you are, you better fight Manny Pacuquaio on May 2."

Espinoza: "Floyd, please fight Manny Pacquaio so Les Moonves can get over his Napolean complex and leave me the f....k alone."

Al Haymon: "Floyd, don't be a fool. These ****** motherfu..kers are willing to you pay you more than $100 millon to beat up that Filipino midget. If you win, you can retire and help me build PBC. If you take a dive, you can fight that mofo again for another $100 million. Its a win-win situation."

ODLH: “I do feel & I believe"

Well, come back and talk to us, when you know .........

[Cinci Champ]

for god sake de la hoya you sound like a salty ass fan towards mayweather you lost get over it and even if another fighter beats him u still lost ur dam fight

[Pigeons]

He sure was. Moonves had to negotiate it behind his back.

Hell yea he was.

We should all thanked moonves for making this fight into reality.

this phag had no choice but to fight. lol His running days are over. When that bell rings. So will his dumb looking ***ing head when Manny beats on it.

Pacquiao fans.

No ****, Oscar. But in the end, the fight was made so who cares by what means?

[truefan]

This is a lie. Floyd actually wanted to go head to head against that card. It was Oscar md Bob Arum decision to move that date for their own financial reasons not Floyd being pressured. I do b piece that Showtime made it known thy they wanted him to fight Manny but Floyd was willing to go head to head. Bob wanted the Floyd and Manny to fight in June to stage a lengthy promotional tour. Stop lying Oscar you will always be bitter
