De La Hoya Talks Mayweather Jr. Rematch, Pacquiao

[Allucard]

I saw the Floyd interview on Sho box during the Martinez-Perez bout. He says he is a family man & is done with boxing period. I thought he sounded pretty convincing, but who knows.

I saw it too. Sometimes you'd think Floyd is thinking straight but the next weekend he gets sloppy and gives corps reasons to sue him or throw money away (that money was reportedly fake btw but still why would you wanna do that?!) in parties, gets robbed... Ok everyone can gt robbed but if you live like a rock star on tour all the time, chances are you are gonna be the one!
I'm of the opinion Floyd should stay retired and HBO opens up for younger fighters so we can have a strong division in the future.
It's funny, there's an age limit for say a pilot to keep flying but for a boxer, a very dangerous sport there is no such limitations... People like Bernard Hopkins, Tarver, Forrest, Jones and Joe Slappy to still be fighting is not ok in my book.

Boxing is the same as those bull**** ass day soap stories peoples retired grandmother's watch on TV. **** is ****ed up.

Here's an article on the topic.
Raskin of ESPN 'guarantees' Floyd will return:

I thought it was an interesting view.

no Pacman is worth more money so he wants to get that big money, then fight hatton for another big money, and then maybe floyd jr and cotto when cotto beats margaritas in the rematch.

Erm no. DLH makes more than enough money as it is, so my point still stands, he prefers to fight smaller fighters rather than a genuine opponent like Marg.

Floyd will be back, they always come back. When he does it will probably be against one of the up and coming young cats right now who will be ruling WW/ JMW divison then.

I saw this interview on ESPN sportscenter and am glad to see ODLH promoting for this weekends event putting boxing back in the mainstream. This is what promoters need to do.

Although I wasnt that amazed by Oscars answer to why he is fighting Pacquiao, his answer was "He challenged me, Roach said he could knock me out so I accepted the challenge". Come on Oscar, Margarito challenged you, EVERYONE at welterweight would challenge you and say the same thing. Please, we boxing fans arent fools.

Ah..but you are. I don't mean personally, but you DO buy the tickets and PPV's.

you can never have enough money when you are living lavish like oscar you have utilities and bills to pay that cost more then the average persons salary.

Who brings in more money? Pacman or Margaritas?

Oscar has fought big men before as well remember hopkins? hopkins towered over him and oscar fought b hop cause he was the p4p 1 guy.

Oscar even talked about before a possible fight with Roy jones jr but it never happen this was like 6 years ago.

Who cares who offers more money, Pacman fights at Lightweight and is consideribly smaller than DLH, this fight shouldn't even happen.

I think PBF should only comeback for Margarito, Cotto, Hatton in England, and Kelly Pavlik.
If he wants to go down in history he needs the middleweight kelly Pavlik IMO. That will be the only real achievement in his career worth me talking about. Hatton was good on his CV, but he had so much help and things going for him.
