of course it's happening because of money.

why is that at all surprising? he'll have time to fight hatton (and margarito if necessary) later -- this is the one chance to get de la hoya. every boxer out there in this weight range, hatton and margarito included, would jump to fight ODH over anyone else. why? because of the money. it's not just a floyd thing.
