Anyone else feel like this Saturday was a huge scam?

Thats why he skipped a whole slew of light weight comp. To fight with the golden gals.

 

This is unfair for Pacman :-(

 

Perfectly worded...that about sums it up for me.

 

Too good an opportunity to pass up, Everybody was calling out De La Hoya he was the biggest ticket in boxing, Pac might have just become the biggest Draw with this win.

 

This is true..

 

would oscar really take a dive for manny? i think that's just absurd. taking a dive for hopkins may have been possible as hopkins was agreat fighter and the bigger man. but for manny? a guy who started at 106? would you really think oscar would willingly let a small guy beat him up like that and not put up a fight?

 

He looked sharp in training, because he wasn't dried-out

 

As soon as this fight appears on youtube and I could watch it again without that excitement of the first time I'll check out what some of you are talking about. It looked legit to me because I've seen Hoya throw out all his talent and just chase an opponent before while getting tagged.

 

no he looked like a beast because oscar didnt throw punches or move pac is good but he is getting way to much credit for beating a completely dehydrated and anorexic oscar

 

yeh he was the underdog when everyone thought oscar would be the the bigger man that underdog **** went out the window when pacman came in the bigger man good win but imo people are making it bigger than it was yes pacman is fearless but if mayweather fought the oscar that showed up saturday noone would be saying what a beast he is

 

The whole affair really did have a touch of strangeness about it. From the oddness of the matchup in the first place, to Oscar weighing in low, to the actual fight where oscar seemed to fight not only weakly but stupidly. I don't know what the truth is. But my ntuition tells me there are things we don't know.

 

Since when have PPVs had any relevance to what is really going on in the world of boxing? All of them are full of sh*t. Sh*t undercards where we act like a guy that's 20-0-1 is the next best thing despite the fact he's been protected his whole career. Any person that ever had a belt no matter how false is treated as world champion.

The entire boxing industry is one incredible delusion. And boxing is no longer a sport and hasn't been for some time. It is simply a way to make money through shady promoters. That's why Mike Tyson stayed around for so long, that's why Oscar de la Hoya has stayed around for so long, and that's why Calzaghe and Mayweather would rather retire undefeated instead of taking on the big challenges their fans and critics clamor for. More fans buy the name instead of the fight. And it's all made possible because the majority of boxing fans are ignorant and will continue to swallow the crap that is fed to them. The sooner the delusion falls, the sooner we can get it back to being great.

 

It was a ****ing scam! You had to blind and ******ed not to see it!

 

Pacs a terrific heel

 

100% correct.

The key word is "intended". One of the fights didn't go quite as planned...
