That's why Oscar feels he deserves 70% against Pacquiao as well, because he would be the draw, not Manny.


If you're saying "nobody would buy that" about a fight involving Oscar De La Hoya, then I question how much attention you've been paying to PPV totals over the last 15 years or so. Oscar is the biggest non-heavyweight PPV draw in the history of boxing. He could fight Danny G and do more PPV buys than Pacquiao could against Marquez.
really now? you would pay to see oscar fighting against david diaz? and danny g?...honestly now...
I would not pay but trust me few latinos paid for it either. Many women pay to see ODLH fight an angle Ninja turtle looking Pac will never have
ahhhh, those were the days before fishnets and stilletos. but i do agree, pac will never be the kind of draw oscar is... or was.
