De la Hoya would never fight PBF

[morancito]

there have been an influx of really baseless, if not funny threads comin out lately, i really thought this was one of them... but i think morancito is quite serious in what he said

Hey, if you guys think DLH would make more money with PBF than Trinidad, despite Trinidad having a fanbase 10 times larger than Floyd, the Puerto Rico vs Mexico subplot, the revenge factor, and the fact that casual fans would be more attracted to Tito - DLH II, then more power to you.

Also, more power to those who think Mayweather could get 20 million fighting Goldie. Right.

even the most idiotic boxing fan knows pbf and what he can do in the ring

Hard core fans ALONE don't generate big PPV $$$. You have to get the casual fan to watch. DLH has it - PBF does not but is getting close.

Trinidad has more mojo than PBF and will make for an exciting fight. Plus there is the revenge factor, and Tito flat out has way more fans than PBF.

Trinidad has it only from general peurto ricans really anymore. All the general fans who watched Tito saw him fight winky wright, and watched him get treated like a punching bag. PBF has a lot more pull then most of you give him credit for, a lot of general fans know him, and know hes the best there is right now. Why not see oscar vs the best? Oscar vs PBF is the biggest fight out there in terms of worth, and money being brought in. If It goes down I predict combined purse to break 50 mil o.O

If there's still one fight left in Goldie, and I think there is, I just don't see him taking on Mayweather, for several reasons:

1. There's a hell of a lot more money in two other fights (Tito and Feroz)
2. There's more money in two other fights (Mosley and Winky)
3. PBF is an extremely dangerous fight for Oscar, especially for his farewell fight.
4. I think he'll more likely a) try to get the most money, and b) try to avenge some loses (Tito and Mosley)

So for DLH - PBF to happen, Tito needs to remain retired, Vargas needs to lose vs. Mosley, and Mosley needs to look like **** in beating Vargas.

In other words, not happening.

It's not about which fight you or I would most like to see, but which is most likely and why. People will forget Tito-Winky in a heartbeat and sell out a DLH-Tito fight and buy the PPV. Forgetting for a moment which fight has more significance, which is obviously DLH-PBF, a DLH-Tito fight has a lot more to excite the casual fan. Revenge, national pride, KO potential, two legends near the end of long careers looking to settle the score after the controversial scoring of the first fight. It's got it all, even I can sell it. If DLH fights again, and I think he will assuming he heals well, they will offer Tito so much money he won't be able to refuse.

Even Mosley - Vargas did huge PPV numbers - 450,000 buys, and who really cared about that? DLH-Mayorga will surely top 500,000 when the numbers are announced.

PBF-Judah did only 350,000. Sorry, but the PPV numbers just aren't there yet for PBF.

[DLT]

to say that PBF is an extremely dangerous, and who honestly thinks Mayorga wasnt?

PBF has yet to face a fighter like Oscar, but Oscar has faced fighters like mayweather , however I think Oscar's power would keep PBF at bay

This would be a good analysis but there's one problem. Oscar lost! You say that he's fought guys like Floyd but he looks like **** against them

very true best fight
