like i said, if you can make the weight of the guys you fight, go ahead and fight them for instance you want to fight pac? fight him at 135, which is the weight pac wants to fight at. wanna fight cotto, mayweather? 147. hatton? 147 or better yet 140

but having guys fight outside their weight cause you're afraid to fight guys your own weight (154) is chicken shit. oscar is basically saying, hey wanna make 20 mil? come up to the 150's and fight me, cause im afraid to fight guys who actually fight in the 154's, and i can't really win a belt in this class, so lets make some money with very little risk of damage to myself, but alot of risk to you.

Its no coincidence that everyone he challenges is like 2-3 weight div's below him.

btw, oscar can't make 147

Larry Merchant: "20,000 of the 27,000 seats were sold at ticket prices of $75 or below. A significant amount of the seats were sold at $25. Oscar arranged this so that many mexicans, mexican americans, and others with low to moderate income could see him fight."

Thought that was interesting

WHo should Oscar fight at 154 to make you happy? Vernon Forrest? Verno Phillips? Yea, Im sure you wouldnt bash him all over this board if he took those fights. Pure bias.
