$17,000,000 in live gate revenue for his Pacquiao fight. I know its obvious but Oscars drawing ability is insane.
He's cunning. I'm just glad that I've never paid to see a DLH fight nor will I ever. I'll watch his sh*t for free.
I paid for Tito vs DLH but thats it as for fights. I also bet 25 bucks on Yori Boy Campas vs Oscar because, hey, it was 25-1.
Sure he is cunning. Oscar is the only fighter i know of that people who know nothing about boxing will tune in.

Oscar fights I bought on PPV: Trinidad, Mosley I, Vargas, Hopkins, Mayweather. Why? Because I knew that he was going to be defeated on each one of those, except the Vargas one, where I was rooting for Oscar to KO that arrogant SOB!
I wonder how DLH is gonna promote himself in this one? "This will be the fight of my life! Pacquaio is a tremendous fighter and a dangerous one, one of my biggest challenges, it's going to be a great battle!" :: Bullshit artist this guy has become.
Sure, DeLa can DRAW, but he DOES have Help N this Instance... Pacquiao has CONSISTENTLY Drawn Sizable LIVE Crowds Himself...The Filipino Fans R as Loyal as Latino Fans & Pacquiao's Style is Fan-Friendly... If DeLa = the Money PIMP, Pacquiao = that Pimp's TOP Money Making HO... REED:kidcool:
Numbers don't lie. Oscar isn't making the best fights available but he is making the ones people like to see
Pacquiao can draw crowds, but I don't think he's on the level of Hatton...who still seems like a likely option in May if he doesn't lose to Malignaggi.
Nah, Oscar was closer in size to Hopkins and had been fighting just one weight class below Hopkins for awhile, and then they fought at a catchweight of 158. Pacquiao's been at least 3 divisions below DLH for his whole career except for the last fight, when it was "only" 2 and a half divisions apart.
That's true, but Oscar looks pretty small at 2:50 of this vid.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWUOL3Gj6Nw&feature=related
Pacquiao needs to go for an all out body attack and take DLH's legs away. DLH gets tired after 6-7 rounds. Then Pacquaio needs to really pour it on and go for broke. That's if he can avoid getting knocked out.
That is a great attack plan, but the "if he can avoid getting knocked out" is the key sentence. I just don't see it. I would love it, just don't see it.
why the fuck did pbf dismiss a rmatch with odh? can any pbf apologists concede that pbf doesn't think he can beat pbf in a rematch?
