I was just thinking, is Oscar the highest paid person per hour on the planet?

For the 30 minute fight, he makes $25 million or more... Thats over $50 million per hour 😀
 
Yeah, Mayweather isn't doing much. Rounds 2 and 4 clearly for De La Hoya. The other two, can go either way.

What good is money when you get brain damage 😉

Edit: I still like to watch people fight (boxing and MMA).
 
i predict the few rounds De La Hoya will do good. but by the 6-7 mayweather is going to turn it up and dominate.

Round Six: Good hand speed from De la Hoya, digging a flurry of body shots into Mayweather's ribs. Mayweather misses with three swingeing right hands before De la Hoya lands with a good overhand right. Mayweather landed with some good shots from range and I have that as even.
BBC score: Oscar 10-10 Floyd

Round Five: Mayweather comes out of the blocks quickest in the fifth, but De la Hoya is matching Mayweather's hand speed thus far. Mayweather struggling to penetrate the high guard of De la Hoya, but he does get through with a right-hand counter and De la Hoya's knees sag slightly. De la Hoya comes back with two clubbing right hands before Mayweather connects with another picture-perfect right - best round so far, Mayweather steals it. De la Hoya looking ragged all of a sudden, Mayweather looking slick.
BBC score: Oscar 9-10 Floyd

Round Four: A couple of good right hands from De la Hoya and Mayweather is shaking his right hand - he's had problems with his hands in the past. Still Mayweather's single shots having little affect. De la Hoya pins Mayweather on the ropes and gives him a flurry of left hands to the ribs - Mayweather getting bullied. De la Hoya blocking most of Mayweather's punches and the champion is bossing this at the moment - Mayweather not really in it.
BBC score: Oscar 10-9 Floyd

Round Three: De la Hoya looking steely, ploughing forward and harrying Mayweather with some solid combinations - Mayweather is looking slightly non-plussed at the moment. Single shots from Floyd, but nothing hurtful so far. Another round for the Golden Boy and Mayweather is going to have to find some answers - and find them fast. He looks very apprehensive thus far.
BBC score: Oscar 10-9 Floyd

Round Two: More success for De la Hoya in the second, making Mayweather look uncomfortable with some good combinations. Not much aggression from Mayweather, who's happy to stay out of range, and that's De la Hoya's round.
BBC score: Oscar 10-9 Floyd

Round One: No great dramas in the opening round. Mayweather fighting fom distance, jumping in and using his hand speed to land several jabs. De la Hoya lands with one decent right hand and a flurry of body blows, but it was marginally Mayweather's round.
BBC score: Oscar 9-10 Floyd

 
it's uh oh floyd is making more contact to oscar than oscar is doing to floyd. this is a match to see who can touch who more.
 
are BBC and ESPN watching the same fight? They both seem to be coming to very different conclusions...
 
UPDATE

mayweather lands a flurry of punches and seems to daze oscar

then oscar lands a low blow to get out of the flurry, ref discusses low blow with oscar while stone cold steve austin runs into the ring and does a stunner on floyd when ref isn't looking, mayweather gets back up dazed, fight resumes... floyd's in trouble.
