Re: I feel bad for Forbes
All I know about his life outside the ring is that his wife is smokin, so I can't feel too badly for him. Do hope he does really well against Oscar or even upsets him to spoil the Mayweather DLH rematch. Just so Floyd would fight Cotto already. Although something tells me even if that happened Mayweather might just fight Forbes if the money would be more than he'd make against anyone else, which could be..
Re: I feel bad for Forbes
Yeah he seems like a genuinely good good guy and hes a hard worker. Hes getting an opportunity that few fighters get so i dont feel bad for him. Id love lo fight a hbo main event as would most fighters, im sure the $$ aint too bad either.
Re: I feel bad for Forbes
DLH is a prick for making this fight...There is no relevence to it...Forbes does not stand in the way of a title shot...Hell I don't even think Forbes has been ranked in the top 10 for quite some time....Just a opp for DLH to claim a win....
On the other hand Forbes will be paid well for the fight...Perhaps his highest to date....and In the future DLH will make sure he gets some gimme fights with decent paydays as well....It is a win win for him....
Re: I feel bad for Forbes
Don't feel too bad for him, he is getting a great payday which I think he deserves coming to the end of his career. I hope he has a great fight.

Damn right he is.
Re: I feel bad for Forbes
Does anyone actually know what Forbes is making for this fight though?? I remember when it was announced that Oscar would fight on regular HBO in May, before an opponent was set; Richard Shaefer specifically said that his opponent should not expect to get the regular purse one would expect to fight Oscar. Wonder if Forbes really will get a big payday.

We see "pricks" here and there. Cotto just hand-picked Gomez as well instead of a big name. It's fine for me. ODLH has one of the best resumes out there so it's not really THAT bad for him to take a break. Cotto just did the same and nobody complained.

I would think that, whatever he's making, it is probably the biggest purse of his career. I think I remember during the Contender finale when he fought Brewer the commentator mentioning that win or lose he was going to get his biggest purse ever.

i am sure it will be enough for him to feel that he can live comfortably for quite some time. It may not be a multimillion dollar purse ,but I am sure it wont be peanuts either.

Trust me, a normal, everyday Joe Smith would never need to work again with what Forbes will be getting. I personally think he deserves it 100% because he is going to get the shit beaten out of him.
Re: I feel bad for Forbes
the guy is 31 and about to get the biggest pay off of his life, doesnt have that great a record inside the ring and will also gain his 15minutes of fame by fighting ODLH
There are many similar fighters out there who went their whole careers without getting anything like this, nothing to feel sorry about here!!

Thats where you are wrong mate...Cotto did not handpick Gomez...Gomez was also a ranked opponent...The fight was taken mainly due to the fact there was no other clear dance cards at the moment
Re: I feel bad for Forbes
He's getting paid, don't feel too sorry for him, hell ive been shot at and nobody paid me shit. Lol !!
