Oscar De La Hoya-Manny Pacquiao fight is set for Las Vegas
The biggest boxing match in years will, indeed, take place. Oscar De La Hoya has agreed to a Dec. 6 match with rising superstar Manny Pacquiao, writes
Bill Dwyre of the Los Angeles Times.
The official announcement, barring last-minute reversals, will be made in a conference call Thursday morning.
The match, Dwyre writes, is "the grand finale of 35-year-old De La Hoya's unprecedented career as the box-office king in a sport that has survived
on his back for more than 10 years without a dominant heavyweight." The bout will be held at the MGM Grand Hotel Garden in Las Vegas. HBO will
present the pay-per-view showing.

years.Unbelievable. Pacquiao started his career at 106 pounds. He's successfully gone up the weight divisions. Now he's going up
against a 147 pounder, superstar Oscar.
I don't think Oscar can beat him.
Is there a possibility for a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight?
If Pacquiao does away with Mayweather. He'll be the greatest fighter of all time bar none. Good times
