Hoya v Pac by miles!

Pac is not a big draw and he should be

ODLH does not have the star power he once had.

Cotto/Margarito was full of Mexicans way more Mexicans than Puerto Ricans

I would have to think that both Pac and Tony would draw about the same ammount of people. We just don't know who tuned in for Cotto/Margarito? Was it Tony's fans or was it Cotto's fans? Pac vs Diaz did not sell so that has to tell you something about PAC IMO. Not taking anything away from the pac man, I own his career set great person, exciting fighter, but he is not bigger than De La Hoya but then again who the hell is? Pac is just like Floyd, he needs a big name in the ring or else he wont draw flies

I agree. I think PAC is more popular in the US than Margarito. Worldwide it's hands down PAC as seen by this example from an OZ boxing fan...

Whelp,I guess If I was a network Exec & had some monetary interest in the Networks,or Pac's accountant........I would care who does the bigger numbers.

If I wanted relevant,serious fights on the other hand

I'm speaking for myself as a PAC fan. Who's available next for the Pacman in November or December? Soto, Valero and Oscar. For me, I love PAC to go for the bigger challenge in a fight against Oscar. PAC is a heavy underdog in this fight.

In a Soto or Valero fight, PAC will be the favorite...

See, I'm not talking as an accountant or talking about money here...

To me Oscar - Pacman would earn more sells by far. Although Margarito- Oscar would be a better fight.

ODLH vs. Margarito and I'll tell you why.

More Mexicans and Mexican-Americans would buy this fight world wide.
Compared to how many Filipinos would buy this world wide.

I think both fights would sell regardless I just feel that the Margarito would sell better.

I know PAC vs De La Hoya should not be made but I would watch it if it did take place.

Margarito vs ODLH should not be made either because ODLH wants to go out with a bang and not all banged up, let's not get that twisted Both fights peek my sick interest and are very appealing. Oscar is not shot but I don't think he has any business phuking with Tony but If ODLH does choose to fight Margarito, my hat is off to him and will trully go out as a warrior who at times tried to fight the very best. It would be interesting just how much ODLH has left in a match against Margarito. Tony has been calling ODLH out and has been saying some pretty nasty things about him and Floyd Tony just might step up his verbal attack and I think Tony just might hit a golden nerve and we just might see this fight after all

I'd rather see tony and oscar, but i'd have to pic pac to earn more...just off of what i see hear out here in this general area. People i know treat pac like he is a god....they'd pay 59.99 to watch pac fight his own shadow. Margarito is known but just not as popular, his bandwagon does have a waiting list right now, but pac has been like that for awhile out here.

Ok Pac fans i'm ready for a pounding, a DLH V Pac fight lasts 3 rounds! I cannot possibly see a guy who has fought all of his career at the lower weight classes of 135lb and less being even remotely competitive with DLH even at his age!If Pac beat DLH i would consider him better than PBF and he is not!
Now a DLH V Margarito fight has me really excited and it will be competitive but i doubt DLH goes near him and risk damaging his assured last fight victory he so desperatley wants.

DLH V Pac is a mismatch of Megatron proportions

Las Vegas oddsmakers disagree with you. This early, they are only installing Hoya as a mere 2-1 favorite over Pacquiao.

Now, consider these other upcoming fights. Juan Manuel Marquez is a 3-1 favorite against Joel Casamayor on Sept. 13, and Ricky Hatton is a 5-2 favorite against Paulie Malignaggi on Nov. 22.

Also, Shane Mosley is nearly an 8-1 favorite against Ricardo Mayorga on Sept. 27 in Los Angeles; Kelly Pavlik is about a 4-1 favorite against Bernard Hopkins on Oct. 18 in Atlantic City; and Jermain Taylor is a 5-1 favorite against Jeff Lacy on Nov. 15.

That's about what i thought, i know i'm in the minority here, just don't see the fight happening and i cannot for the life of me see how Pacman could win against DLH. Still, strange things happen in boxing!

Yeah it's really strange... Based on the odds given, all of the above fights are more of a mismatch compared to Hoya-PAC...

Better to protest the Mosley-Mayorga (8 to 1 odds) mismatch fight than the Hoya-PAC (2 to 1 odds) fight...

Been thinking some more about this. If it's promoted well (which I expect it will) and they go for the "Oscars last Hurrah" angle then I think that this fight, whoever it is could well beat the ODLH VS PBF record breaking numbers. I think that as long as Oscar is involved in a big final matchup even non-boxing fans may pay to see it because love him or hate him he is by far the biggest name in the sport and no-one can deny that!
