Would you pay for this fight?
If people pay to watch Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on PPV then am sure they will pay for this, people will be interested to see if the Pacman who is one of the current pound for pound best can fight guys that size, it's almost like Roy Jones Jr fighting Ruiz up at heavyweight, not many would pay to see Ruiz but they paid for that fight and they will pay for this one, even those that say they won't come the night of the fight and all the build up that goes with it they will not be able to not see it.
Oscar is a 5 weight world champ he has never really been in a terrible fight and Pacman is also exciting I can't see it being a bad fight.
Just because they are huge stars fighting one another :)
I'll Pay for this fight even if they Priced it $100. This is Once in a Lifetime fight. These kind of fight is very rare in Boxing. The Best Draw vs the Most Exciting & Current #1 P4P. This no DLH vs Boring/Running Great Fighter like PBF, Whitaker or Camacho. This Pacquiao Showcase. Pac's never been in a Boring fight.
Every Critics thinking only that Pac will be KOed by the Big DLH calling this fight a Fraud. I don't see it that way. I see this fight the way Freddie Roach see this. Pac has Tremendous speed advantage & agree with Roach that DLH's best Punch the left hook will not be effective against Pac. Barrera is one of the best Left Hooker that Pac fought & yet how many times he missed with that shot.
This fight will happen because of the Hyped that Going on around. Many are Calling for DLH-Margarito as right fight for DLH but look around?? Who & What fight they are talking & analyzing about?? yes it's Pac-DLH. No matter if it's a negative article Or Positive article. It both will help in the promotion of this fight. I think all this Drama & bargaining about this fight will go on for few more days before they announce this. DLH will Probably will call this off stating Pac's demand is too high or saying he's bother by the critizism then Pac will Probably call DLH a Coward & Chicken, DLH will be pissed then the fight is on.
Don't discount Pac here. Pac has the resume & the history of overcoming odds & Proving Critics & so experts wrong. This is one of them. By the time you guys watched all the 24/7 stuff & the Historical significance of this fight sink in. I bet you can't resist clicking the Buy button on your remote.
You guys want to save money of PPV? Call friends & Family & have a potluck. here some how we Party every Pac fight:

I am praying for an upset win for PAC, but I would not want to pay watching it I might get a heart attack seeing it live.
Yeah i didn't pay for that fight either.Quote:

I really don't want to see this fight. Total mismatch in my opinion.
I voted No, but I've paid for fights in the past that I would've voted No for! Most likely, I would just stream the fight... Money is tight nowadays.
I'd pay for it,but cant see this being a PPV in the UK anyway! If the fight ends up on SKY (which I got a feeling it will be) i'll end up paying for it anyway as I aint got Sky and i'll get it for the month,its not that expensive! I'd spend 10times the amount of the Sky fee if I went out on the piss that night anyway:rolleyes:
I'd buy it
Then again I cant think of a boxing PPV I havent bought. I even paid to see Hopkins vs Hackar on ppv. Im sure I wont be th eonly 1 buying it. The fight will do well at the box office aswel and even though it ruins a potential classic in Ricky vs Pac , it will be a good way for a boxing legend like Oscar De La Hoya to bow out - Big name opponent and a n impressive K.O win . Its not often boxers end on a high. Oscar has been such a sucess story I think he deserves it .
I don't remember that. On Sky?Quote:

It may have been on Setanta actually b4 it got famous.
Yeah, must have been early Setanta (that's why i don't recall it). I wasn't able to see the Eastman-Hopkins fight because my cable box didn't have SetantaQuote:

I'm paying for it so it's worth it to me.
Whether it's really worthy of PPV I have no clue; though both are huge names so it would make less sense seeing them fight and it not be on PPV.
Though I would have rather payed to see PAC/Mayweather; but I suppose if PAC wins against Oscar I could see that fight being made quick.
Oscar is actually a 6 weight world champ.Quote:

That was another Setanta f*k up. Witter vs Ndou was on the undercard and coverage started a couple rounds in with no commentary. I was well annoyed but nothing we could do about it . When Barrera fought Pac it went off air from round 9-12 and we had to listen to Bunce talk crap. I couldnt belive it. I duno whats wrong with Setanta but Sky Sports and box office dont seem to have the same broadcasting problems.
I know I was so pissed off when that shit happened with Pac v Barrera.Quote:

We couldnt even establish clarity on what happend in our absence. We returned to the fight mid round with no updates of what we missed .Then at the end of the fight commentary said " it should be a draw or a Barrera win" but the scorecards were huge for Pac! When we left after 9 rounds I thought it was still there for the taking . We missed the best rounds of that fight. The coverage is just not good enough but it was stinker of a fight.Quote:

If it was the 1st time then fair enough but it seems to happen all the time.
And what do they do? Put the price up!Quote:

If 2 million people bought the boring DelaHoya-PBF fight, I'm guessing at least 1 million people will buy this perceived more exciting and entertaining DelaHoya-Pacquiao PPV fight.
They should put this one on The Cartoon Network.Im trying something new in the last year and not paying money to see Celebrity Boxing "events" :bucktooth:...Quote:

Of course this fight is PPV worthy. In fact, it could easily approach 1.5 million (Oscar-Tito numbers) and will be far and away the biggest PPV of the year.
The #1 PFP fighter in the world would be moving up 2 whole weight classes to fight a star fighter making perhaps his last appearance in the ring. How is that not worth $49.95??
From a business standpoint YES!!! A MILLION TIMES YES!!!!
From a fan's standpoint, HELL FUCKING NO!
No fuking way!!!!!!!!!!!!! :furious2:
De La Hoya should be ashamed of himself for ending his career with this farce, but I'm sure he doesn't give a $hit, because it just means more money in his pocket.
Who cares about what your fans want, right Oscar?
How is it a "farce" to fight the #1 PFP fighter in the world?Quote:

Boxing is truly fucked if a miracle doesn’t prevent this fight from happening.
I’m fucked too cause it’s probably gonna cost me fifty quid! :rolleyes:
De la Hoya vs Pac is only a mismatch if you believe De la hoya is to big of a puncher for Pac.
I dont think that is true. You will see a fight between De la hoya and a guy that 1)can take his punches 2) can punch faster 3) can punch more, and 4) can punch for longer.
That is no mismatch.
The fact that its not a mis match only makes it worse. Dela Hoya has made a career out of fighting the best. (The best getting progressively bigger and stronger)
He's continued that trend but the 'best' now seem to be getting smaller and smaller ???
Plus im just Disapointed that Pac has bought into that.
I suppose i can only look forward to Pac's next fight :(
I do not blame Manny Pac he has very little to lose and a lot of money to gain.
Exactly. Now, imagine if he beat the forum's favorite Cotto. Oh man! You would see people hate ODLH even more. Even when ODLH retires, we will keep seeing daily threads about how terrible he is.Quote:
