If any of the bars in the French Quarter are showing the fight, I'll watch. Otherwise, Mayweather's impending annihilation of De La Hoya will be the next big PPV I catch.

I hope like hell Oscar can beat Mayweather, but he isn;t the style of fighter to beat Floyd, unless he can use his height and reach, and use a long, quick jab all night to win on points. To beat Mayweather you need to be an iron chinned brawler, Castillo had him for a while, before fading late...I think Ricky Hatton could do it, but he cuts real easy...and Oscar is a slick counterpuncher, not the balls to the wall aggressor that it will take to win...Oscar is good at what he does, but Mayweather's feet, instinct, and speed, are superior...i see a boring 12 round blowout, but i'll watch, and hope

My fervent hope is that Mayweather beats De La Hoya into retirement the way Terry Norris ended Ray Leonard's career.

My hope is that De La Hoya backs out, and Antonio Margarito takes his place, and the Floyd doesnt back down like he has for the last 3 years, and Margarito lays it on him....Floyd brags about beating whoever gets put in front of him....thats because his camp changes direction every time Margarito is there

I like boxing but have gotten to the point that I enjoy UFC much more. There aren't any boxing matches that I would do PPV for.

it was a close fight, either way, i can't understand the lopsided decision...all 3 fights had some scoring questions, i'm getting disallusioned with the fight game these days

too brutal for me, just can't get into it


I thought that before I got into it. Have you ever actually watched a complete fight? In some ways boxing can be more brutal. Having a guy get his head beat in round after round but not go down, can be brutal. UFC allows for mismatches to end quickly. Just my opinion. I really used to think it was too brutal before I started watching it.
