IF THIS ISN'T A LIE... or a rumor. But Boxingtalk is very accurate.
I never liked this matchup, but it's going to get boxing attention at least... and I suppose that's good for boxing. Could be a stinkfest of a fight though.
I wonder what the purse they both agreed on. If anything, I'm guessing Floyd took more cash than we think and Golden Boy will take a large amount of ppv percentage buys (which will ADD up considerably).

I think you're exactly right. ODLH probably gave Floyd what he wanted or close to it, and Oscar is taking all of the PPV upside. Which could be huge. That ODLH is a smart fuck. I don't think it will be a stinker. Now that Floyd has his bigtime paycheck and since this is the biggest stage of his life. I would bet on Floyd being a lot more active, well until he possibly gets caught with something that might scare him. Damn, jumping up to 154, after three fights as a blown up welterweight to take on the champion. Can anyone give Floyd props now for at least making the biggest fight in boxing? Haha, fuck that, he's making too much money for props.

The Boxingtalk guy said ODLH called him up and told him Floyd signed two minutes ago.

That's great news...
Does anyone know at what weight class this will be...
Light Middleweight or Welterweight...

It's at 154 for the WBC belt De La Hoya holds. Just in time, because Oscar needed to defend his belt by May 6 I think.

Yo man!!! Don't get on my case. You haven't really heard my take on this.
This fight will get boxing more attention. Even though Goldy is slower, older, and hates boxer-punchers... This fight is good for boxing. I know my buddies will be happy.
BUT I KNOW MAYWEATHER SR. IS CRYING RIGHT NOW!!!

Oscar is over the hill.
Can't take much from the Mayorga fight. Anyone that keeps his hands up is going to stop Mayorga's shots that come from left field. But everytime Mayorga threw a straight or an uppercut it landed. Sometimes with authority. Oscar isn't going to stop the jab or the straight right hand of Mayweather. When Floyd wins, give him his due instead of saying Oscar was a washed up fighter who was drained to come down at 147.

CC man, CC. Takes alotta perspective for a Floyd fan to know this. Since you showed respect, I have to to.
If Floyd wins, I gotta give him props, even though I know about Golden Oldies and your take on the Mayorga fight is excellent not to mention Mayorga's below average "amatuer" skills. I think Oscar will lose too.
But no matter what, this matchup sure beats the hell outta a Baldomir fight! hahaha :D
