    Oscar wated 70 / 30 split and refused the 60 / 40 offer from the Pac-man camp. Manny to stay and defend his WBC 135 title. Makes me happy.:happy

    Most of us would love to see De La Hoya fight Margrito. Myself included, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. I think he wanted to fight Pacquiao because in his mind Pacquiao is a big name that he can beat. I think De La Hoya will most liklyreconsder a 60/40 split, or open negoitions with Trinidad (Name fighter who he thinks he can beat). Mora who is a recanizable name because of the Conttender is also a posibility Forest would have to be given step a side money for this to happen. Mayweather is a long shot would probbly have to do a 50/50 or even 40/60 split to get him out of his retirement.

    That's good news, IMO. Manny is a big name and a very very very winnable fight for DLH who is naturally way bigger than Manny. Hopefull he would give Margo his shot.

    great! Would have been a farce. & would have hurt De La Hoya's legacy in the long run.

    Oscar should've took the 60/40, the fight could've been huge.

    Great news. Pacman should fight either the winner of Campbell/Guzman or JMM/Casa. **** DLH!

    Oscar: "70/30 I whup yo azz!" Manny: "All your Money are belong to me!" = no fight! This is a good thing. It was huge "black eye for boxing" just waiting to happen. Time to watch DLH run like a thief in the night against Margo for 12 rds. :yep

    that just shows you, once someone becomes a promoter they morph into MONEY GRABBING WHORES... 70-30 split, r u f-ing kiddin me? Pac man can bring more fans at this point than DLH can, and I'm not takin anything away for golden boy but not all mexicans like him and pac is a SUPER DUPER **** YOUR PANTIES WHEN U SEE HIM hero in the phillipines...
