Witter good Hatton bad

Yep, that's pretty much

/thread. :: :: ::

 

:bears:

 

bunch of two bit queers. that wasnt even funny.

 

not only did mayweather knock hatton out, he also knocked him off premium networks in the u.s.

 

I'm sure some of this had to do with De La Hoya and Hopkins-Calzaghe being on regular HBO.

 

why the fuck is there a countdown to delahoya forbes? ::

 

Because De la Hoya is the biggest star in the sport :dunno:

 

Well, HBO needs to justify the ratings for having this event on "the regular" by doing huge numbers...as well as build up the Mayweather rematch.

They're milking the Golden Boy for as much as they can his "retirement" year.

 

I can't see how they can hype Forbes....give him any chance at all...

usually they have sport writers/trainers/manager talking about intangibles some fighter has that can help him win a fight....but FORBES has NO FUCKING CHANCE....

he is not a puncher.....speed isn't even close to DLH...he can't box with DLH..he can't try to brawl with DLH...slow feet...

good chin...thats it...and at a lighter weight...

 

But As Such, he DOESN'T Need a "Countdown" Show...Especially for an HBO Televised Bout...

It's SUPERFLUOUS...

REED is Interested N Seeing what Kind of BULLSHIT Spin they'll Put on this OR How they can POSSIBLY SELL Steve Forbes LITTLE Ass as a Legit Opponent...

B 4 it was Signed, Merchant BADMOUTHED DeLa-Floyd Every Chance he Got, so we'll See what he See about this 1...

REED

 

agREED

 

They'll use mostly Contender highlights, probably...that and personal life stuff.

 

Mrs. Forbes is Pretty HOT...

Maybe they can Just Show Bikini Shots of Her???....

REED:dunno:

 

that sucks - i would've liked to have seen this fight. i'm not so sure Hatton has an easy time with Lazcano who is long and hits hard and knows how to survive.

 

Here's betting DLH looks quite bad in alot of spots vs. Stevie...

 

here's betting he K h TFO with the first hook he lands on the chin. the guy's tiny compared to ODH. it's a joke of a fight. shows how desperate ODH is to get a win.

 

It is a joke of a fight.

it's been years and years since Oscar stopped this low in picking an opponent.

Couldn't he have at least fought an average welterweight?

The only oscar has any trouble with forbes is if he literally trains for a week or 2.

 

When's he gonna land that hook?

I don't think this will be a Gatti-type beatdown at all.

 

They're saying DLH - Pacquiao for november

 

I was reading something about that in the LA Times, quoting Merchant and all.

I have absolutely no interest in watching that fight...which I can almost guarantee would have the worst undercard imaginable.

It would do great numbers, though.

DLH upholding Mexican honor and all that.::

Most Mexican fans I know believe even if DLH does retire, he'd come back in 2-3 years to fight JCC Jr.

Perhaps the biggest money fight in the next 5-10 years.

 

No, but it might be a Gamache-type beatdown. :nono:

don't wanna see that shit....but i'll rathr see that than a rematch against Mayweather.....

 

Oscar is fighting Forbes to prepare for Pacquaio. It's hard to fight smaller guys so he's warming up first.

 

Yeah Oscar really wants to fight Pacquiao and has said it numerous times. Pacquiao is just way too small for Dela Hoya, as is Forbes.

Pacquiao should make at least a $15 million purse if he did fight DLH which is more than most fighters make in their careers.

 

That's how the fight is being billed. Since MAB, Morales, and Marquez, all the best Mexican fighters at Pac's weight couldn't accomplish it, natural welterweight ODLH is going to play the role of "Mexican Hero" and try to beat Manny.

They will sell 1.5 million PPVs too.

 

DLH started at 130, but he is much bigger than Pac. Still, I gotta wonder if DLH wants to eat that much incoming. :dunno:

 

He won't have to, Manny is not really that aggressive anymore.

Compare the 2 Barrera fights.

The fight shouldn't happen, the size difference is stupid.

 

If that fight actually gets made...UGGHH!!!! :doh:

Why doesn't DLH just make Ruiz-Pacquaio? ::

 

I would abosolutely love it if Oscar ended up fighting Pac instead of Mayweather. It would serve Mayweather right for waiting around for Oscar and not fighting anyone. ::

 

Thats great that Hatton can sell tickets like that.

HBO bring the money, i bet Floyd made more money fighting Mitchell or Bruseles in half empty arenas thanks to HBO's money.
