Cinco De Mayo Fight


Alright, here is my take on this fight on Saturday. First of all, the promoters and the boxing world are set for a huge pay day from this fight. This fight has been scheduled for "Cinco de Mayo", you've got the Golden boy Oscar De La Hoya, the pride and joy of the American Mexican Community, and Mexico of course. How can you go wrong, schedule the fight on a day you know that the Mexican community and many Americans, gather together to drink and enjoy all the festivities. Hey, you have to give it to them they have played the cards right. So has the golden boy De La Hoya, he is not washed up yet, but is very close to it. He does not have the same pop as he did years ago, and yet he accepted to fight a fighter that is in his prime. Even though he may get his butt whooped, he did this for one reason, to make money. De La Hoya is expected to make a guarantee in excess of $20 million for the fight and will share in the pay-per-view profits. Now, I am pulling for Oscar, but he is going against a fighter that might be quicker, and has some pop. If Oscar can keep Floyd still and not let him run around, he wins it (shocked if this happens). So I will be very surprised if Oscar wins...but, what the hell, I am going with the Latino underdog, so Go Oscar...who do you all got? Shall we make it a soup?
