Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: I Want Pacquiao To Beat Mayweather

[ox805er]

Sorry to break the news to you but mayweather still the biggest draw on ppv he has 4/5 top five ppv events since he signed deal with showtime people will tune it to watch him rematch cotto because they think cotto improved under Freddie roach I don't wanna see no rematch I want may vs pac and so do rest of world but people will still tune into that fight no matter what

Lol! Sure he does! Especially when he stacked some of his undercard with fan friendly true fights or canelo didn't help him? Lucas/Garcia? Kahn, Broner? Mares? I mean even showtime won't disclose the real numbers.. What a change by foney!! It used to be all PPV buys.. And we won't know how many people will tune in May 2nd.. I sure as hell won't! Neither for Pac, if it's vargas! Kahn maybe! Canelo/Kirkland for free it is then!

Let's not pretend Oscar doesn't have an axe to grind against both of these men.

The fight is dead because of the "COWARD"....

Everybody hates the black guy. He doesn't have to do anything but be born and people will dislike him. They hated Ali because he was out spoken and didn't shine shoes or apologize for his greatness. Now today, he's some kind of hero. Go figure. It just goes to show the average man is jealous of his talents. Mayweather never forced anybody to tune in and watch his fights. You fools do that on your own. Looky here Floyd is fighting, let me buy his fight so I can have a reason to hate him more. This is why he won't fight Manny. Why give you hateful ****s what you want to see. Not fighting Manny is a big middle finger to all those who hate him. Go cry on your pilow because you'll never see him lose.

Here's an example of a desperate, woe-is-me Floydiot racist grasping at anything to rationalize why the coward won't fight Manny. Piece of advice to you, pulling the race card backfires nowadays. America is tired of you whiners. Regardless of skin color, respect will be forthcoming if one stands up with head high from the dignity of putting in an honest day's work, contributing to the betterment of society instead of mooching off the toils of others.

Excellent post.

Dude said "He doesn't have to do anything but be born and people will dislike him."

This guy is okay with Floyd being ****y, arrogant, beating up a woman, ducking, bragging, etc.

SMH! Black people are always supporting their own, even when they are wrong. They think they're all angels.

Not true, son. You don't know all Black people, or their thoughts.

I tried to pm you, but it didn't seem to work.

Here's the information about the contract opt out clauses.

Are these two statements about Floyd's showtime contract correct?1.) Showtime only can opt out in the event of a floyd loss. 2.) Floyd has an opt out after each fight.
Dan Rafael, King of all Fight Freaks (12:08 PM)

On point 1 I am unsure but it would seem logical since that is how boxing multifight contracts typicall go. On point 2 my understanding is that Floyd can opt out but I am not sure if it is after every fight or only after certain fights.

He wasn't as definite as i remember. But its STANDARD to not have opt out clauses on the TV end. Nice try tho, hopefully in the future you won't be so dismissive.

[Flash13]

Dan's entire answer was full of self doubt.

He doesn't know.

You made it seem as an impossibility tho.. and are you really suggesting Al Haymon one of the best negotiators in the business to leave out a very important detail of the contract, one that is standard in most contracts? I mean come on....

But his answer was definitely leaning more towards yes than no. Logically speaking it should.

I got your pm and responded. I said pretty much what REED said; Rafael is speculating, but he does admit that he really doesn't know. Such is your case too. Only you don't want to admit that you really don't know, and can't supply definitive proof of your beliefs.
