    Agreed. He looked extreemly thin at the weigh in for the PBF fight, no way he makes 147lbs without being drained.

    He should just retire. I dont like the potential of him making big money offers to fighters who should be squaring off and eliminating eachother at 147lbs, fighters who have real interest in fighting through the year.

    Depressingly enough, Margarito's noisy fanbase could probably have DLH convinced he could get away with selling that fight for $50. :barf

    Cant DLH make enough money from Golden Boy? Perhaps he isnt as bright as he would like us to believe. Only the very most intelligent fighters jack it in at the right time.

    Boxing promoters look for any reason to put something on PPV. Golden Snaggle Tooth has a lot of clout with HBO.

    De La Hoya-Margarito would be a better matchup than De La Hoya-Mayorga which did close to a million PPV buys.

    The only truly legit PPV-worthy opponents at 147 are Cotto, Mosley and Floyd. But you're right, whoever he fights they'll call the fans' bluff and charge for and the fans will suck it up and pay. :twisted:

    I can just see them coming up with a storyline to hype up DLH-DHop. :patsch
