DLH says accept my offer in one week or its off the table

[Mech.]

Yes he won every second of every round, but still it was boring...I bought the PPV and was recording it on my DVR, at the end I just erased that ****...

lol.............

[FLASH GORDON]

You cant put on a dismal showing by winning every round you idiot.

Boxing is a business idiot. I did not watch the fight but as many posters have said, people started leaving even before it ended. Only PBF fanatics would buy that crap on PPV.

PPVs don't get that many sponsors. They rely mainly on the number of PPV buys. If he keeps on putting on that kind of crap that evrybody mentioned, nobody will buy his future PPVs. That will slice a big chunk out of his purse. No promoter would pay him big money if they know they'll never get it back.

you have said enough

Wait he wants February for Shane Mosley. Who's Mosley gonna fight Floyd?

I doubt we'll see...

Mosley vs Mayweather in February
De La Hoya vs Mayweather in May

One of them is gonna have to fight someone else.

I wanna see Mosley-Mayweather at 147. I don't know how good Floyd will be at 154. I don't think DLH-Mayweather will be at 147. Floyd walks around at around 150. I think Mosley would be a better fight for Floyd.

not only that. it might make floyd a little rusty... smart. kinda evil too.. i actually feel bad for floyd. is that bad?

Well, by May 2007, Oscar will have fought once in the 2.5 years since the Hopkins fight in September 2004. Floyd will have had five fights since then, starting with the "exhibition" vs. Bruseles in January 2005.

Like other posters are saying, it's all about Oscar getting the coveted Cinco de Mayo date for himself and Floyd and preserving the February date for Mosley (since the war with Arum is on full blast, forget about Mosley vs. Margarito, it will most likely be Mosley vs. Cintron or perhaps Collazo).

I still feel this is mostly negotiating, but Oscar (and HBO for that matter) surely want this fight set well in advance so they can promote it for more than a couple of months (a February fight between the two or just for Mayweather in the interim prohibits this). They want to make this bigger than Lewis-Tyson, which, while not possible, is encouraging. Boxing needs this fight. This fight, along with some kind of heavyweight unification in 2007 would be great for the sport.

de la hoya is on a power trip

Thats some funny **** because I did the same thing the whole card was BS and it took to much time on my DVR.

Fact: Mayweather-Judah PPV - 375,000 buys Anyone have the numbers against Baldy?)
DLH-Mayorga - 925,000 buys

Fact: The audience booed, and left early When Mayweather tapped and ran against Baldy.
DLH won by spectacular KO against Mayorga. (Can anyone say, they would favor Mayweather to KO Mayorge?)

Fact: Pro boxing is entertainment and business first, sport second.

Conclusion: If Mayweather wants to make bucks, and secure his legacy, he needs DLH a lot more than DLH needs him.
