Well, the Manny Pacquiao fight just culminated last March 16, and as everybody expected, it was a blockbuster event. Another bout set for the year is the Mayweather/De La Hoya match set for September. Their match last year broke PPV records (for a boxing match) and is definitely expected to generate at least the same number of viewers for the rematch. Similar to PPV sales, Mayweather vs De La Hoya tickets are once again valuable commodities, if you ever get a chance to get one. This will definitely be big as Mayweather will want to continue his winning streak while De La Hoya would want to exact payback from last years defeat. Whatever the outcome, I’m sure these two would be giving it their all – considering that their 2007 match lasted for the whole of 12 rounds with both fighters still punching it out until the last second.
On a more personal note. I’m expecting a big fight from Mayweather because of the trainer Freddie Roach who’s surely going to put him through. Yup, it’s the same Freddie Roach behind Pac-Man’s continued success. I think a see a trend forming! But whether Mayweather or De La Hoya wins the match, these fine athletes deserve it.
