Now Tito recieved a 10 million dollar purse for the De La Hoya fight, after his victory he was looking for a rematch with Oscar that would swap the purses of the first fight giving him 20 million and giving Oscar 10, Oscar having just as extreme ego as Tito if not more refused Trinidads offer, I don't know how close they came behind doors to an agreement or if either fighter ever budged on his demands but the fight fell through, after that he never showed interest in fighting Oscar again.
With RJJ Tito had some weird fascination with, he had begun to talk about fighting RJJ while still at WW, he vacated 154 in less than a year in an ambitious move to MW, had he beat Hopkins he would have fought Roy at a catchweight, he thought Roy was the ultimate measuring stick for his success. Finally after a decade of obsession he finally got his wish.
