Oscar De La Hoya to announce possible showdown with Manny Pacquiao
In breaking news from ESPN.com, Oscar De La Hoya is expected to announce at 2 p.m. ET tomorrow that he will fight his last fight against Manny Pacquiao.
If the fight goes through, it would make Dec. 6 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas the largest fight in recent history, with purse on the north side of $100 million.
The plan was for the two to fight early on, but an out-of-ring riff on each of their financial cuts broke off the deal. De La Hoya wanted 70 percent. Pacquiao, who would have to move from lightweight to welterweight for the match, wanted more than 30 percent.
Tomorrow, De La Hoya will announce for sure whether it will be against Macquiao.
