Thats the word from ****sideboxing.com. They say Arum has been contacted and was quoted as saying that he accepts the fight and doesnt even have to ask Manny because he is sure Manny accepts the fight. Arum is right because Lil Manny is greedy and already has losses on his record so its a win win if you ask me. But I ask myself, what does this do for Dela Hoya by pounding out this little Pinoy for 1 or 2 rounds maybe 3 if Dela Hoya carries him? This is a huge mismatch and Dela Hoya should be ashamed of himself. Arum also says that he is sure that if the fight is signed it will break all fight records in buys considering both fighters huge followings.:bbb
DLH has probably wanted to pound out Pac ever since reniging on his contract with Goldenboy. If you really think about it, it makes sense.......great boxing coverage.....Manny gets a huge payday and DLH knows he'll put his lights out and get another huge payday.
you think these fights with smaller guys like hatton, PBF, i hate to say it Manny will tarnish Oscar's legacy a little?
No, I dont think so because of what he has accomplished. But if he losses than Wow is that a blow to his legacy. But think about it this way.......will you tune in to watch?????? Yea we all will.
Go read it. I didnt confirm it with Dela Hoya just stating the interview. more than likely this is all hype becuae I dont think Dela Hoya is that stupid and neither is the Joke Roach
good point...definitely would tune in....so i guess its safe to say Oscar really is trying to pursue the most intriguing matches against the best which is evident because he did go up for B-Hop so i think he is just cashing in on the name that he has built plus he is invested in boxing basicaly so why not get the big fights even if they seem a little awkward....i guess i can see what he MIGHT be trying to do but he still can stick to welters at least...plenty of good fights there for him.
