did you guys hear about oscar de la hoya?

came out about cocaine and alcohol abuse and infidelity. i don't get how these dudes with beautiful wives need to stray

i guess the tiger woods south park clip that explains it would be appropriate here

The womanizing I can somewhat understand but the dope use is what gets me about these guys...I had heard a while back that he made a statement abut his substance abuse issue,sad...I hope he hasn't blown his money on drugs.

So who is watching the Mayweather-Ortiz fight?...I will have to wait untill next weekend to see it.

 

[phillydog1958]

Love or hate him, he's a winner. Mayweather KO's Ortiz in 4th round!

 

[phillydog1958]

And with a very controversial ending . . . Wow!

 

[chelo]

mayweather didnt have to wind this way but like ortiz said $h!+ happen!! he claim to be the best fighter pond by pond but he wont be until he be man enought to fight manny pac man.. the real deal.. his worst nightmare!!

 

[littlewangzfan]

That was a bizarre ending. Pacman-Marquez next and hopefully they push through with Cotto-Margarito 2.

 

[phillydog1958]

No, it's time for a Mayweather/Manny fight. We the public, deserve this fight. Do not settle for less. You're all anticipating that Manny and Maywether will not enter the ring. It will happen sooner than you might think.

I don't think they will fight...There was too much much money at stake for Floyd not to go ahead and fight the first time......if he wanted to fight pac.That probably would have been the biggest payday for a prizefight so far and for Mayweather to make up all those excuses during negotiations tells me that he wants no part of Paquiao....I think he is too concerned with protecting his undefeated status and will not risk losing it.

True. I think Larry merchant was quoted as saying that he thinks the reason why Mayweather went on a defesive mode and started berating him during the interview was because he knew the question about Pac will come up. He's doing everything to avoid Pacman. He doesn't even want to hear that name. Pac is a living nightmare to him.
