I have been meaning to talk about this for a couple of days but between NFL players being shot and Floyd Mayweather getting robbed among other things it has been pushed to the back burner. Now that I have a little time let me make something clear.
"Oscar De La Hoya is scared of Antonio Margarito"
I am a huge Manny Pacquiao and if I had to put money on it right now I would predict he would beat De La Hoya even though he is coming up in weight. De La Hoya who is always claiming that he wants to fight the best decided it was better *coughs* easier *coughs* to fight a "Lightweight" as oppose to the true "Welterweight" champion.
The reason is simple:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Manny is going to bring in big dollars which is great for Manny he deserves to get his piece of the pie but De La Hoya already has big money. If Floyd has 7 million dollars worth of jewelry hanging around De La Hoya owns the Jewelry store he bought it from and all the jewels in it if you are feeling what I saying. So what is more important for the sport of boxing a bigger payday or the most interesting matchup?
Fact of the matter is De La Hoya is taking the "easy" fight for the most money which won't be the first time he has done such a thing and even though he has hinted at retirement probably won't be the last.
how do you know de la hoya wouldn't fight margarito if he could make the same money that he making Fighting pacquiao????
boxing is a business,and de la hoya is a business man....and for any business man,if it don't make money it don't make sense...
Oscar De La Hoya is worth 100 million dollars and the fans want to see the best which is good for business simply put he is chicken..lol
who cares what he's worth....just because he already has money does that mean he should stop making money???
