    No, Pac wants Oscar to wear 10 oz. while Pac wears 8 oz. In accordance to the rules, they both would wear 10 oz. gloves if both fighters don't agree on 8 oz. Go to the scene for boxing, there is an article on it.

    Good as it should this fight is a side show and is bad for boxing.

    Don't think so, according to Ambition_Def Margarito doesn't care about money at all and will decline this fight for any other option.

    DLH had a list of rules for Mayweather but still you have point there with them breaking the rules on this one.

    LOL I think everyone knows that Oscar = Jackpot. If I was PAC I wouldnt be trying to put all sorts of rules and disadvantages its not like PAC actually has a chance. He should just take the fight before it gets cancelled and loose a UD and get paid.

    Look... PacMan was supposed to be the good guy here for taking on the Big Man no? Now all I here is complaning... it makes him look fool after stating that he'll knock DLH out...

    He should've decided by now... whether he wants to fight or not. Next time Williams calls out Calzaghe only to make ridiculous demands on who's wearing what?

    It's a DLH fight so DLH dictates the term. Take it of leave it.

    PacMan is gonna make close to $30M with the home TV rights, gate revenue and the PPV share, so stop complaining or find another opponent. Oh yeah... nobody pays $30M at LW/LWW...



    So... why the hell did he get the seemingly absurd idea of fighting DLH only complain about everything? Last time I've checked PacMan weighed 146 pounds fight night, just a few pounds south of Mayweather's weight in his fight vs. Oscar at the SUPER WELTER limit. So it's not really a huge disadvantage since Oscar never was a big WW at all - nor did he use sheer physical power to break down opponents. DLH always used his speed and skills.

    I don't see the huge disadvantage for Pac at all. Pac and Mayweather are almost at the same size. After a few months of training PacMan can gain 5-6 pounds of real muscle meaning he would be 151-2 pounds fight night, 152!!! That's Mayweather's weight vs. Oscar.


    Take it or leave it.

    I want Team Pac to stall as long as possible, and not to budge on weight. Now Oscar wants it at 151, which tells me he is SCARED to even attempt 147 and a same day weigh in.

    It is to be expected, Pac knows he will win a lot of money and knows he is in a disadvantage

    would be awesome for pac if he can pull off the 8oz gloves for both fighters. If he gets KO'd it will be if DLH has 8oz or 16oz...But Pac needs those 8oz gloves...10oz will really mess him up.

    But wait a minute...isn't it 8oz gloves at 147lbs naturally anyways? So Pac baasically just wants DLH to wear 10 oz gloves lol? He better hope he doesn't get his wish because they will make him wear the 10oz as well.

    Pac wants the best of both worlds. He wants to be able to wear 8 oz. gloves, but at the same time make Hoya wear 10 oz. gloves. This of course is completely illegal.

    I think whenever fight talks have gotten that rediculous
    (to the point where different sized gloves for each men)
    they should just stop.

    I mean sure this fight will be a big money seller

    but this is becoming a joke.

    no wonder ESPN has trouble taking boxing seriously

    ****. :-(

    If Pacquiao wants to make that fight happen, he should follow the rules and fight at 147 against Oscar under normal conditions.
