Because of that this fight is personal" Oscar- "Fighting Manny Pacquiao represents a challenge for me because he has won against many mexican fighters and because a lot of people say that I can't win because I'm old and he (Pac) is faster. Freddie Roach has been commenting that I can't KO Pacquiao and that is what motivates me" Oscar- "I talked with many great champs like Carlos Zarate, Ruben Olivares and Humberto Gonzalez and many others. I invited them to the fight and they said that they are going to Las Vegas to support me" This guy is a very intelligent business man, the offer was 60/40 and they are expecting earnings over 100 millions. It's amazing :-(
:rofl :rofl :rofl @ "a lot of people say that I can't win" Everyone is expecting you to win, Oscar. :deal
I really don't blame him cause boxing is a business after all, I know his legacy is already secure but things like this works in negative ways on a great career. A single fight could change the perception of a boxing fan and more if it is his 'last' fight.
Oscar is an intelligent man,the mexicans and mexican-americans will support him cuz Pac is being beating mexicans for a while now
DLH has more of his promoters hat on than his boxing gloves for this fight its about money and feeding his ego but it takes 2 to dance and Pac has also sold out for this fight
you think freddie roach is being blatantly bias by saying pac can win, cuz remember who cornered oscar in the pbf fight. he does have a unique perspective of the fight having trained both fighters.
