^ I've also heard that Manny's trainer, Freddie Roach, said he will forfeit his % of the purse if Manny loses the match. Roach is pretty damn confident.

Thought this was interesting....this is not the full article. It seems that if Manny and Oscar fight, Oscar also gets a piece of Manny's earnings. Can we say greedy? lol He want 60-70% plus part of Manny's earnings. Pffft.[/b]
Asked about Margarito, who stopped Miguel Cotto in the 11th round of a thriller last month, De La Hoya echoed what Schaefer has been saying.
"A lot of fighters have challenged me," De La Hoya said. "Margarito is one of them, as well as Sergio Mora, whom I believe that, along with Pacquiao, is the one with the best chance to land the fight.
"If someone asked me to choose between Antonio Margarito and Paul Williams,

I would have to say Williams. He defeated Margarito, who claims to be the best welterweight around after his win over Miguel Cotto. But in order to end the squabbling, my opinion is that Williams and Margarito should finish what they started and sign the rematch; that's the fight that makes the most sense to them."
Williams 13 months ago took the championship belt Margarito held with a unanimous decision at Home Depot Center. A rematch apparently isn't going to happen any time soon because of a beef between Margarito's promoter, Bob Arum, and Al Haymon, Williams' advisor.
Arum also promotes Pacquiao. It should also be noted that De La Hoya and Golden Boy have a monetary piece of Pacquiao, as per a 2007 settlement reached between Arum and De La Hoya in a fight for promotional rights to Pacquiao. That means that if De La Hoya fights Pacquiao, he not only gets big bucks on his end, he gets part of Pacquiao's take as well.
