Why is floyd mayweather fighing oscar de la hoya agin?

Question

de la hoya is a legend past his prime he got beat so easy in their first fight it was a boring fight too so y even fight agin mayweather needs to fight someone elese does anybody even think de`la hoya has a chance

Answer 1

the answer is money....you would fight him too for that kind of money he's offering floyd. Mayweather turned down the fight 4 times before finally accepting the rematch, you know why?? money talks, point-blank period. and when mayweather wins, if the money is right he'd fight him a 3rd time, and who can knock a man that likes easy money? millions at that. and i'm tired of people saying de la hoya is old, he didn't look bad during his last fight and HE'S ONLY 35,Floyd is 31, and besides boxer's usually fight til 38, 39. or 40

Answer 2

mma sucks.... by the way learn how to spell you sound like meldrick taylor.

Answer 3

Oscar is better than floyd...

Answer 4

because they are two of the post profitable fighters today and it will bring in a lot of money

Answer 5

MONEY!! floyd knows he will win and make tons of money no problem. the next opponent that would make floyd alot of money is cotto but its also really risky because hes a priime welter whos on top of the game right now.

Answer 6

Because of the money, this time around Mayweather's father is going to train Oscar and that alone would be an interesting back story leading up to the fight moreover many people are still convinced that de la hoya won the fight and mayweather wants to put all doubt to rest, they are going to use a wide marketing strategy and that will generate enough interest before the fight, many people are predicting that the fight will break the records set by mayweather vs de la hoya 1,so it is the best choice for both fighters if de la hoya looses he is still gonna walk home with tens of millions od dollars and if Mayweather looses he is gonna get a rematch and probably make even more money from that fight terefore it is a win/ win situation for both fighters

Answer 7

Because he's scared like a little baby of Cotto.

Answer 8

two big names that are entertaining and have a lot of media coverage which all translate to big buck for everyone,..i disagree that he got beat easily he put up a good fight...the last fight was boring overall it looked more of a sparring session....

Answer 9

all good answers. floyd is fighting oscar because of the money and as long as hes fighting oscar he doesnt have to fight someone who could actually beat him like cotto or margarito

Answer 10

MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!

its all about the money, even tho the first fight sucked. De La Hoya just wants to make money. He said he is doing it for the fans.......ok well its still on HBO so its not for the fans. If it was on NBC or ABC or something then it would be for the fans.

Even though its gunna be a boring fight De La Hoyas gunna make a fortune from it because its Mayweathers fight.

Answer 11

Money is the reason. Bob Arum keeps taking Cotto money, like he did PBF. Cotto cant put the money up? I like Cotto, PBF and other guy's. They are calling PBF out for Cotto. If you look in almost every magazine, web site everyone is calling out PBF for Cotto. Thats a way of trying to get the fight. I ask the Cotto fans. Why want he put the money up? Never get that answer. I guess its not that sweet.

Answer 12

Money Money Money Money Money Money.......................Money!!!

Answer 13

They are fighting because there aren't many big names in boxing and they know that they will make a lot of money if they fight again because there will be tons of hype.

Answer 14

what do you mean no big names?  Cotto is a big name and that should be the fight we should all be watching.  Mayweather is scared to fight Cotto because he knows Cotto will beat him. Only for the $$$$ thats why.

Answer 15

Man I've been asking myself this for a while now. I know it's about the money but honestly.This is not stuff that legends do. And if Oscar upsets him his legacy will surely be tarnished.
