This fight won't sell.
For a lousy 10%, Oscar is sacrificing a great megafight for a dull, meaningless one. For a lousy 10%, Pacquiao is sacrificing a legacy-defining fight for zilch.

Oscar would have crushed Pacquiao, he's too big, Pac man too small. Mora is not really a good fighter. I would say at their best, The Contender alum are top 20 type of fighters within their divison. Oscar will expose Mora for what he is. A fringe contender who was matched perfectly against an aged Vernon Forrest.
I guess Oscar wants no part of Margarito, can you balme him?
