money is always above of everything in boxing. if you want money, fight the popular one even it means losing the bout. in this case, manny already know how big oscar is compared to him. in oscar's last fight, he did fought a former superfeatherweight champion in the name of steve forbes. and he won despite forbes did give a good account of himself during the fight. it was just ODLH is too big, too strong and too fast for him. though age can be considered a factor but forbes is much younger than oscar at 31 while oscar is already 35. plus 147 will be the heaviest weight that pacman will ever fought and oscar was a former chamion at this weight category. just take that as a gauge because
i don't believe in pre-arranged result in boxing. i will be rooting for oscar and my money will place on him come fight time.
