De La Hoya on Pacquiao defeat: 'I was embarassed'

[fan johnny]

Remarkable, he used two months to put into words a justification, as to why his loss to Pacquiao was of no consequence to his inferior talent failing miserably against to those of Pacquiao's, the man who thoroughly beat him.

And, it too is quite remarkable, how just after the beating administered by Pacquiao on him, and despite how badly his bruised lips were, Hoya was able to energetically and with abandon, kiss Pacquiao's ass in the post fight interview with Merchant, if people can still remember the aftermath of the fight.

Boy! The man knows what to say that people want to hear, and he has the skill to do so, cleverly veiled in such a way, it comes out anything but insincere.

The interview is BS. Pure excrementally valued for content.

The man is saying that he quit, not because it was the only way he will walk away from the fight without incurring permanent physical disability from the destruction that his opponent easily inflicted on him. Rather, it was made "for him" by people that cared, albeit unknown to them, that he actually did not care, for the other guy lacked the power to hurt him. This was his message unveiled, unmasked. Pure baloney!

He did not need those two months, because "he" can throw any thought out there in public, in the open and...it will be heard and bought! The skill is remarkable, but not atop the ring!

Anyone will buy it all they want cause Oscar dela Hoya is in their heads anyway, waiting to tell them what they want to hear! Anytime they need to hear it!

Of course he did.... the time brings birth to empathy because people forget. It's a game and I agree he has developed skills of a master salesman. The premise is laid out for Mosley/Hoya III it's a gentle feeler to see if the paying public will buy into it. Had De La Hoya come out a week after the fight and said this, he'd risk many fans losing the sympathy they had for him. It's about Perception & Image and the goal is another payday.
