    why does PBF wanna fight DLH?

    I can understand that he wants the money, but hes risking a lot of fans. After DLH hangs up his gloves, his fans are gonna want to look for a new fighter to follow closely and such. If PBF beats DLH, de la hoyas fans are gonna resent Mayweather, and are prolly gonna hate him.

    The same thing happened to DLH. When he beat Julio cesar chavez. A lot of fans were looking for a figher to follow, and when DLH destroyed chavez, he lost TONS of potential fans.

    I would love to see this fight, but PBF is risking a lot of money fights down the road on PPV, because hes simply not gonna be as big an atraction as he could be.

    Pbf is seeking recognition, legacy and big money and all of these is with DLH. So irregardless of the would be effect he should take the risk. You don't take risks? Then you don't go now where.

        Irregardless Of Zab's loss to Baldomir a lot of people including the promoters still thinks that he is a formiable opponent for PBF. Otherwise they won't be wasting time promoting that fight. You think otherwise? Then that's your problem.

        Don't be a wise ass. No matter what OBF does or who ever he fights he will still be antagonized by haters like you.

            i don't know his reasons, but i'd think it's the same thing as with dlg and chavez. he wants to beat a legend. you box to be the best, and if you have a chance to fight someone like de la hoya and it's a possibility of happening, why wouldn't you want to do it? his true fans'll still stick by him.

                  EXACTLY. PBF wants big fights and DLH is a huge fight that will add to his legacy and fatten his pocket.

                    I think if PBF shows nothing but respect for DLH leading up to the fight and doesn't talk ****, and if he wins and is very humble... I think DLH fans will like mayweather for it and hop bandwagons sort've as a "passing of the torch"

                    but if he just acts like himself, i can see what you're saying as a possibility.
