I read the news paper and from the news on radio Manny Pacquiao fight against Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas, Pacquiao will meet with Top Rank chairman Bob Arum to discuss the merits of the De La Hoya bout being penciled for Dec. 6 at the MGM Grand. Bob Arum said he will have to know Manny’s financial terms to fight De La Hoya who has been holding talks with Golden Boy Promotions (GBP).
De La Hoya expressed his desire to rumble with Pacquiao, regarded as the best fighter in the world today pound for pound, through his childhood friend Eric Gomez, who is also vice president of the Los Angeles-based GBP. Pacquiao is reportedly asking $ 20 million for De La Hoya fight.
Freddie Roach said there is a very strong chance Oscar De La Hoya’s farewell opponent could be none other than Manny Pacquiao after all. This fight, which has been spoken of as a possibility for some time now, has a good chance of taking place on December 6th in Las Vegas.
In the final analysis Manny Pacquiao, at 5′ 6.5″ with a reach of 67″ compared to 73″ for Oscar, is simply too small to fight De La Hoya - all 5′ 10.5″ of him! It is possible to win against De La Hoya? Read the full story http://renanorola.i.ph
