    Easily Pacquiao vs De La hoya, I believe.

    Even though it's a mismatch, it's the biggest attraction in Boxing against the most exciting fighter in Boxing. Huge event.

    I think Pac vs DeLaHoya will be a big one but I dont think it will be as big as Mayweather vs DeLaHoya.

    Main reason why I'm questioning this fight is because some of the real boxing fans will refuse to pay their hard earned money to see a fight that they really feel is a mismatch. I know theres gonna be some fans in Mexico & America that aren't gonna pay to see this mismatch. Plus Oscar has made alot of hans angry over the last months. Thats why I'm still unsure.

    Both fights are pathetic and only sell to noobs who thinks Mayweather-Vitaly would be a good comeptitive fight. We regularly have noobs come and ask why Naseem-Lewis was never made and things like that. These fights are made for the uniniciated crowd that has just heard a few names and wants to see it if they fight - not being aware that they are comepletely ridiculous fights.

    Even more sad possibly is that Oscar has to take those fights these days because he has little chance if he was fighting someone his own size, so the smaller fighters have a decent chance.

    It would be like if Lewis took on Naseem because he couldn't cut it against real HWs. Just as pathetic.

    Hatton would ktfo Joe;)



    This ppv business is suspect imo. Will sales of it not always struggle now seeing as people seem to be able to watch it for free on the interweb? I don't know how it works but if my job was under threat and i could save $40, i would.

    Sadly, it would sell out the biggest arena in the UK.

    Yeah. I can see Hatton & Joe chilling together in the back of a Bentley after the fight singing "I'm goin straight to the bank wit dis"

    Why didn't Margarito vs Calderon ever come off. They were in talks for the longest!

    It's not doing DLH/PBF numbers... or even DLH/Trinidad numbers.. It'll do good numbers, but its not breaking 1 million sells...

    DLH/HAtton has a better chance at that....
