Looked like De La Hoya just wanted 1 more payday he was guaranteed 15 million for the fight. 9th round and he doesn't even get out of the chair? WTF
Why would he? He was getting beaten from pillar to post and knew he could not
overcome Manny's speed and that he had no chance at knocking him out. Why
stand in there a be a punching bag?

Good point, boxers just don't know how to STAY retired.
dude i told everyone pacquiao was gonna win--everyone thought i was crazy. i expected a much better fight, but oscar was just too slow and it seemed he was surprised in the beginning at manny's speed.
did yall see the undercard fights? they were sooo disappointing. overall, i'm kinda bummed i paid that much money to see crappy fights. i'm stoked manny, the underdog, won though! gotta root for my countrymen
I'm sure glad I didn't waste my money on it now. I usually fall victim and give in as I order the fight. Not this time!
UFC is never a bad purchase, IMO.
I watched this, and I am sorry to see De La Hoya go out like this. Hopefully he will take all this into consideration, and retire. He made himself well known as the Golden Boy, now it's time to realize his time is up as a boxer.
I paid for this fight and was very disappointed in the whole event. The preliminary fights were horrible and the main event was basically Pacman sparring with some old dude. Did Oscar land any punches? Oh my biggest gripe was that my cable provider (Charter) didn't have it available in HD. Oh well guess I could've found another way to waste $55. Just my 2�
