Trinidad had deluded himself into thinking he was the draw. Oscar offered him a guaranteed 15 million for a rematch. Trinidad instead takes 4 million to fight David Reid. That proves he wanted nothing to do with Oscar De La Hoya
Wouldn't surprise me, Oscar outboxed Tito all day and got robbed.
That was smart from Tito to beat an undefeated olmpian at a higher weight and then be in a stronger position to negotiate.
