    In other words..."Yes, I would've loved to have made a lot of money promoting this fight."

    lol I got a laugh out of that too.

    If he promoted that fight he would be laughing to the bank.

    I do agree DLH is tarnishing his legacy with these PPV's (and even more so with his crappy performances).

    Then again these guys risk a lot taking hits over the years. Too many boxers wind up disabled or poor, or even worse, both. Making money is all part of the business. Although I do not like shelling out $59 for PPV I support the sport and I wish more boxers could make decent paychecks so they can take care of themselves and their families when it comes time to retire.

    If Oscar gave a **** about his fans he would put a free fight out next to compensate for going out like a punching bag in his last one. The only way I pay for another Oscar fight is if it's against Floyd Mayweather.
