    I dont blame pac, I blame de la hoya. I will have lost all respect for de le hoya after this one. I honestly would not watch this fight, maybe on youtube a week later.

    I've seen predictions similar to this just last week. It goes like this, "Cotto will surely win"...

    Just interesting how everyone wanted to see Cotto-delahoya and how Cotto would be made a superstar.If Floyd does the same DelaHoya is short,if Manny does it Delahoya is over the hill.

    Double standards,no wonder cotto was allowed to fight Gomez.

    nobody will blame anybody if somebody wants to earn 10 to 20M$. That opportunity does not come everyday!

    judge: Chuck Giampa 112-116 | judge: Jerry Roth 113-115 | judge: Tom Kaczmarek 115-113

    If Oscar is shot, what does that make Floyd?

    Pac is gonna get a $10 million dollar ass whoopin'.

    They are both responsible. If pac wasn't about the money himself, he would be taking on realistic challenges in his own division.

    No. An aging DLH is still a big risk for the smaller Pacquiao.

    I expect Pac to get laid out if the fight materializes.

    No blame on Pac. In fact, this is a good move for his career. With so many good fights he gave us, he's entitle to get the BIGGEST PAYDAY of his career. I know after this fight, I'm gonna see again good fights from the PACMAN....vs. Hatton, Campbell, JMM:bbb

    Boxing is a business.
    In business we keep score based on how much money we make.
    So by fighting Delahoya, Pac stands to make the most money he can from a single fight.
    Do the math.

    Even Israel Vasquez will fight Oscar for the money.
