"I do feel that Mayweather was pressured into this fight,” De La Hoya said to USA Today. “I believe that Mayweather was boxed in from the pressure coming from Les Moonves, the pressure coming from Bob Arum, the pressure coming from Pacquiao and the pressure coming from Golden Boy."
ok isnt delahoya the only real loser in this fight getting made? so lets all take what he has to say with a grain of salt to begin with but pressure from bob arum? sorry what pressure was that.. the last thing he was saying before the fight was him putting up roadblocks with ridiculous reasons that had more holes in it then the iraqi navy. offensive to mexicans to fight may 2nd etc etc..
Of course he was. Had he no been on Show he'd be heading for a trilogy with Maidana or taking a rematch with Cotto.
moonvez people can legitimately speculate. but arum? HOW? the evidence suggests he was doing the exact opposite ?
Who cares, he couldn't be forced, so no matter what anyone thinks he ultimately made his own conscious decision to fight Pac. Also, many fighters are pressured by their team to make certain fights. Most of the decisions as to why a fight happens or not has to do with business, not fear. It's pretty much impossible to get a person with free will to do something they fear...
even Stephen said moonves played the biggest roll moonves called the shots even though the coward said live on showtime pac would get less than the 40 mill offer and the fight had to be on showtime and mayweather promtions had to do the fight well turns out pac will be getting double or even more hbo WILL be involved as well as top rank...........moonves told him **** you I call the shots and I alow hbo to work with us moonves forced duckweather
Bob arum brought his long time friend les moonves to the table. Without moonves, you guys would be gloating with guerrero2, ortiz2 or maidana3 as two of his last fights at showtime.
