DelaHoya-Pacquiao Split Negotiations and Purse Talk!

[XaduBoxer]

If Hatton loses to Paulie it wont be happening. If Hatton loses he is finished.

Pac not fighting is to stop any mishaps happening also (if Hatton-Pac is strongly on the cards, that is). Barring Oscar, Hatton is Pac's biggest money fight

I think PAC won't mind fighting a boxer coming from a loss. He has done it already many times in the past. Anyway Hatton has 6 months to prepare for PAC.

I'm sure Pac wouldn't mind fighting him should he lose.. but the people that stump up the MONEY will.

Hatton-Pac wont happen if Hatton loses. You can bet your life on that.

Morales just lost to Barrera when he fought (and defeated!) PAC the first time and that fight was still a blockbuster.

If Hatton will lose to Paulie then he's already considered shot. No problem since PAC already been criticized before on taking shot fighters. Adding another shot fighter will do no more harm.

Hatton will probably retire if he loses to Paulie.

He will have lost all credibility at 140 - and have no title. There will be no reason to make Pac-Hatton. Hatton don't need the money.

Morales fought Pac coming off a loss to Barrera but that was an all time GREAT boxing rivalry. They were in the same weight class. It was a natural sell.

Pac needs a fight soon, not may or june next year, thats far too long to wait.

Hatton has not lost credibility with the LWW div. He lost as a WW to an elite fighter. What makes you think he is done? I think we could see a good fight in Paulie with him. Hatton will bring it and Paulie is a good fighter. Hatton is still the man in my eyes. People will sing a different tune after this fight.
Lazcano may have made him look bad, but he would never beat him in 50 fights.

But on the topic...
Pacman DLH will never happen. It's just a dream fight. I saw someone write this adn I'll repeat...

We are all REALLY waiting for DLH vs Forbes II !!!!!

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

This fight is retarded... I don't want to see it anyway.

Latest Update:

Warning: For those not interested in this fight, please read no further since it might be just a waste of your time.

- DelaHoya will fight at 147 lbs.
- DelaHoya will wear 8 oz. gloves
- Purse split the only thing not settled

Source: Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao fight nearly set

Team Pacquiao should not accept anything less than 60-40 purse split IMO...

[Violent Demise]

8 oz gloves. Damn. I almost feel sorry for Pacquiao. Almost. Soon as Oscar lands this fight is over. Oscar struggled to make 150 in his last fight. Should be a battle for him to make 147.

[XaduBoxer]

A weak, slow, old and shot DelaHoya at 147 lbs. may not be able to throw a power punch enough to KO PAC... Or may not be able to land a clean punch on super fast PAC... I hope so...

At 147 it won't be a super fast Pac. It will be a fat Pac

Yep 8 oz. gloves has devastating results at welter... Did you know Cotto and Margarito were using 8 oz. gloves in their recent fight?
