Why would Roach allow Pacquaio to fight this fight?

That said fighting Oscar will give Manny more recoqnition in the states as the number 1 boxer on the planet, if he manages to beat Oscar the possibilities are endless. Marketing wise anyway.

I really don't think Pacquiaio will get killed by Oscar, I mean cmon guys did you not watch his 12 round borefest over Steve Forbes, a guy barely any bigger than Pacquiao.

Manny has the speed and footwork to stay elusive and give Oscar some problems. I'd see Oscar as the favourite but he's not a real physical fighter and probably wouldn't try and knock Pacquaio out.


The far bigger problem for me in this is that if the two did fight, it would doubtless mean that Oscar would try and enter in negotiation with Pacquaio for future fight promotions.

Honestly I wouldn't put it past Oscar to go easy on Pac, or even take a bodyshot and get knocked out if it meant he could then have Pacquiao's signature for the rest of his career.

It's all coming together now, Oscar buys the Ring Magazine, Oscar inks Pacquaio, the Ring Magazine becomes the official supporter of the Pacman and helps, along with his victory over Oscar to become a boxing phenonemon, i.e a golden goose for Oscar that he will make millions from over the next couple years.

If the fight happens, I guruantee it means Oscar will promote Manny in future, and that also guarantees that Oscar will not attempt to make Manny look bad.

The fight will be an awful fix, dpending on how much money is involved Oscar may even take another dive.

Shameful, fuck Oscar De La Hoya.

bilbo: i would rather see pac lose then have his oppenent take a dive. if ever the philippines find out pac had one of his oppenent take a dive. Pac would never be able to come back in the country and his dream of being a politician will never happen.

if this fight happens, i really believe oscar will be less trouble then jmm but the size factor is the only thing stopping pac from ktfo oscar. pac too fast too slick too good right now for dela hoya.

Well I'd rather see ODLH take a dive than him killing PAC. Stains PAC's legacy though. Not a farfetched idea Bilbo
