No Go For Pacman-Oscar Fight!

[ИATAS]

It will be good for all the Pinoy fans because a lot of the Mexicans say Pacquiao ducked Soto.

lol, who the hell says that?? Soto poses no threat to Pacman, plus guzman already handled soto with ease.

The only reason Soto gets a crack at pacquiao is because Pacman wants a fight before the end of the year and all the other top 135 guys (guzman/campbell, marquez/casamayor, katsidis/diaz) are all fighting next month. Soto is just a semi-known name, an easy opponent but an entertaining one that he can beat before fighting one of the top guys.

No go for Pacman-Oscar fight!

By Nick Giongco

Manny Pacquiao has decided to stay at lightweight and defend his WBC 135-lb crown after turning down an offer by Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) for a Dec. 6 fight in Las Vegas, lawyer Franklin Gacal said in a statement released early Thursday morning. "I have been informed that Oscar De La Hoya is firm with the 70-30 revenue sharing and won't budge in to the 60-40 split we have counter-offered. I find the offer of GBP unconscionable hence unacceptable. It would have been an honor to fight De La Hoya on his last fight capping a very illustrious boxing career but under the circumstances, the option left is to move on. I have already made specific instructions to my lawyer to start negotiating with Bob Arum for my next fight with any possible opponent at 135 lbs," said Pacquiao. Gacal said what Pacquiao wanted was a fair share of the mega fight and apparently, Oscar De La Hoya is making an offer that he knows is unacceptable," Gacal told *********.com.It is certain that Pacquiao will face Humberto Soto of Mexico sometime in November in Las Vegas.

Expect for this article to be posted up on this site in like a week, as usual.

business wise, good move. oscar will now prolly go with the 60-40 and the fight will go forth.

I can see this moving forward and it being a 60-40 split...But if not.....Lefty

[!! $¡N]

I still think the fight is going to happen. I think they're just trying to put the pressure on Oscar. DLH knows he has no other credible opponents available if the Pac fight falls through since there's no way in hell he'll get in there with Margarito...

[IMDAZED]

Ugh. Here's to hoping it isn't DLH-Mayweather II

Doubt it Oscar wanted to retire with the spoils...he aint gonna go lower then 70-20 which is ridiculous.

Let him fight Mora now and call it a day!

De La Hoya doesn't have to fight Tony.. He doesn't have to fight anybody at this point.. matter of fact, he should just retire!
