De la Hoya sets date for 'superfight' with Mayweather

[Wacko3205]

Imagine if DLH knocks Floyd out, picks up the mic and says, "Thanks everyone, I retire"

That would be Huuuuuge

Heh heh heh.

What would make it even better if grabbed his balls & hollered "Oscar out!"

[clean]

Only 5 fighters in boxing history have ever made $20 million or more for a single fight: Tyson, Holyfield, Lennox, Douglas, and Oscar. If you have a chance to be number 6, you'd be a retard not to take the fight.

gerry cooney made $20 million for fighting lary holmes

Jerry Cooney made less than $2 million for fighting Larry Holmes.

LMAO,cc Wack,that would be the funniest thing ever if he grabbed his balls and did that!! Wack,has this fight been 100% confirmed? I have not seen info anywhere else and what about Floyd Senior saying he would take no part in it! Boy he changed his mind quick!!

I don't know who Jerry Cooney is but watch legendary nights Holmes-Cooney. Merchant said Cooney made one of the biggest payday ever over $20 million dollars and it was the highest grossing fight ever at that time. of course now the highest grossing fight is lewis-tyson

Cooney didn't even make $20 million in his entire career earnings.

Another for Sal

[Mr. Nightmare]

Yeah Sal, why do you do stupid stuff like that that takes up a whole page?

And this fight is NOT confirmed. It's a just wishful thinking on all of our parts. But if DLH passes on PBF, then PBF-Hatton should happen this year.

eastside boxing's articles are written by guyz like you and me. Larry Merchant was the HBO broadcaster for that fight and he said in Legendary nights that cooney made $20 million, I think Larry is the more credible source. plus the fight drew huge attention worldwide. Larry Holmes vs. Gerry Cooney was one of the biggest closed-circuit/pay-per-view productions in history, broadcast to over 150 countries.

Chamiley, I have Legendary Nights on tape. Larry didn't say Cooney made $20 million. The commentator said the fight GROSSED more than $20 million. There was no ppv back then, only closed circuit, for which fighters did not get a percentage of. And just for the record, at that time the biggest single pay day for any athlete in history was Sugar Ray Leonard the year earlier, when he earned $12 million for his fight against Hearns. Sorry but Cooney didn't make no $20 mil. By the way, here's another source saying he didn't even make $3 mil.

cuz this fight is sickening

[a4mrmarine]

Why criticize Mayweather for taking this fight? The money is remarkable. On top of that, I think DLH is his greatest challenge right now. Hatton and Margarito wouldn't give him as much trouble as DLH in my opinion. And this is fitting... the old master in DLH holding the torch, prepared to give it to PBF should he earn it.

Imagine if DLH knocks Floyd out, picks up the mic and says, "Thanks everyone, I retire"

That would be Huuuuuge

That would not only be huuuuge, and would be freaking awesome.
