Let's be honest: Who WOULDN'T watch Pacquiao/DLH 2?

I believe that a lot of people are completely full of **** when they say that there is no interest in Oscar vs Pacquiao 2, just as much as they were when they said there was no interest in Oscar vs Pacquiao 1. There was a rumor today that Oscar wants a second fight, and of course there was the usual "outrage" that Oscar doesn't deserve this fight.

But last time there were a lot of boxing afficionados that completely ruled this fight off as a guaranteed DLH win. Now people are obviously doing the same for Pacquiao. In my opinion Pacquiao would win in a rematch (I don't think any competent person could realistically give Oscar better odds), but at the end of the day it's not like the fight is completely indefensible.

Most of the people that are jumping the gun about Oscar forget that he almost certainly had overtraining problems in this fight. It seemed clear to me that there was something wrong with his energy in this fight. He didn't seem to be as energetic from the start as either of his fights with Forbes and Mayweather. It is definitely a possibility that he was possibly dehydrated or overly weight drained from a poor weight reduction strategy, and even if this is just a mere possibility, it is something that raises the intrigue of a possible second fight where Oscar might fight the fight that most people expected him to fight, instead of the one sided ass whooping that happened. Adding Mayweather Sr. as a trainer might also add some additional intrigue, if simply because the weight issues wouldn't come up again.

What fight would I rather see next? Easy, that's either Pacquiao vs Mayweather or Hatton or Hatton vs Mayweather at 140. But if a Pacquiao vs. ODLH 2 fight were to be made, I would do the same as most of the "outraged" posters on these forums. I would voice my dissappointment in not getting to see the above mentioned fights, entertain the notion of not paying for the fight, and then succumb to the pressure and call my Directv operators and order the fight at the last hour. It's the same thing that happened last time. The bottom line is that for all the moral outrage I hear on the forums, I bet almost every single one of those people would watch the fight on PPV if they fought again.

Remember that this is a guy that drew more than 1 million buys for a fight with Ricardo Mayorga. I mean lets be real here. A fight against Pacquiao would be billed as possibly Oscar's last fight. Do we really think that people wouldn't tune in to watch the Golden Boy either triumph one last time, or go down in flames.

For the record, I understand that the point of people's outrage is that they aren't getting the best fights and I DEFINITELY want to see Pacquiao vs Mayweather as the next fight. I'm just making the point that I feel that most people are being hyperbolous as usual in their proclamations when speaking about the prospects of the possibility and viability of a sequel to their fight. Am I wrong or right?

 

I'm serious. Don't get me wrong, I saw the one sided ass whooping that Oscar got, and I feel pretty much the same thing would happen again. But to say that there wouldn't be interest in the fight is something that I just don't believe. The fight would be just too improbable, just like the first one, and circusy not to generate interest.
